Let's Party

Good Morning 

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Doing anything nice today?. I'm off food shopping then

over to mums. Still not feeling to good but you know the old

saying ( You can't keep an old dog down) well that's me, Old I 

mean not a dog!!!.

Going to try and get a new carpet for mum's bathroom this afternoon

then Nigel will be fitting it Sunday (hopefully).

Today I want to share with you a card I have made using one

of the digi image that I won on Holley's blog an few months ago.

Thanks  Holley, all the three images are fabulous.

DETAILS

1, As usual for me, card is 8 x 8 and pink.

2. I matted it with gold patterned paper then with a

Happy Birthday paper that I have had in my stash

for years.

      3. The image No 524 from Sherri Baldy was printed

 onto super smooth card then die cut ( sorry brain

brain a bit frazzled, cannot remember the name). I

   then coloured her using Copic's Ciao and then inked

     around the frame with T.Holts distressed ink scattered

        straw.  I then mounted her onto the card with foam pads.

4. I made the bow using organza ribbon that has sequins

sown into it, added some bead stems and a dazzler.

Once again many thanks Holley, you are a gem.

Until Next Time

As Always

2. The image was printed onto super smooth card and

Tim Holts Stormy Sky around the edges.

Her wings were coloured in with a Yellow

Good Morning, My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

How are we all this Friday morning, Yes Friday already, looking forward

to the weekend? Lets hope the weather keeps up.

Quickie post today as off the mums to do the domestic chores and

won't be home until this afternoon.

Something a little different from me today, be kind!!

DETAILS

1. Using a fancy edged white card blank I matted  it with

dark blue patterned  card ( I know it look like black card

but trust me it's not)

2. On a piece of craft card I created the background  colours

with brushes and a combination of Adirondack Light

Aqua, Cool Peri, Salmon and Pin Sherbert.

3. Next using Tim Holts distress Vintage Photo I stamped the

tree, birds and the sentiment, ( The true meaning of life is to

plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit).

4. The ruins are stamps by Sheena Douglas and these

were stamped onto another piece of card, then cut around

and mounted onto the card with foam pads.

I will let you into a secret but you must  not tell anyone

The card did not start out like this, hence the scene

being mounted onto the background. This was

because when I first tried to do the background

I did not inspect it before I stamped the image, once

I looked OMG it was a mess and I was ready to

throw it into the bin when cousin Mary gave me

idea to cut the image away and create another

background. Thanks for the Idea Mary.

To complete the card I added two hessian strips to each end.

I must say I am quite pleased with the outcome.

Well folks that's it from me today

hope to see you back tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting.

Good Morning

My Crafty friends, Followers and Visitors

Hope you are all well and coping with the weather?

Just had to make this, the image has it was sitting on my desk crying to be

created - hope you like?

Off to mums today, a few things to sort out then back home and hopefully wing my

way into my craft room and Play!

DETAILS

1. Created the card by using SB Grand Big Scalloped Ovals, cut

two out of cream card then joined them.

2. Using the striped card I again used the same die ( only the next

size down) to create the backing. The card was in my stash

and I was amazed to find it matched my card perfectly( how many

time have we been able to say that, all the bits we save, then once

we start to find a match for a project, hey presto YOU HAVE NONE

that will go but not this time YIPPPPPP.

3. The image is a Tatty Twinkle and has been coloured with my pro

markers before cutting it out using with a SB Lacy circle die.

I then distressed the edges using Tim Holt's Scattered Straw ink.

4. Using a smaller SB Lacy Circle die I cut the sentiment and

again distressed it with the same colour ink.

5. Before attaching the backing card I wrapped a yellow spotted

ribbon around. Next I took two paper dollies and fixed them

at angles allowing me to adhere the image in the centre, using

foam pads. Foam pads were also used to adhere the  sentiment

tag.

6. To complete using Cosmic Shimmer Summer Blue PVA

I created pearls all around the edge of the card, the image

and the sentiment. Although you cannot see in the picture

I have added glitter to her wings and on the stars.

Well my friends, I must call it a day for today,

but do call again tomorrow if you can.

Until Next Time

Ringing In Christmas

Good Morning, My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Looks like it is going to be a nice day, sun is shining and a day of

crafting planned, what more could we ask for?.

Today I want to share another Christmas card with you all, hope you like

DETAILS

1. Card size is 8 x 8 with scalloped edges.  I embossed

down the side with one of the Tattered Lace embossing

folder ( sorry cannot remember the name, as it belongs to

Mary and I only borrowed it)

2. The wreath is a stamp by Chloe and I have coloured

it using Tim Holt distress inks.  I then added a little

glitter and tiny red gems to represent the berries.

Sorry it's not very clear.

3. I then used the bell die from Tattered Lace and

cut into it so that just the bells were left.  They

were cut out of silver mirri card and I mounted 

them with foam pads to give extra height.

4. To finish off, using the Tonic Jingle Bells die

I cut it using pearl card and glittered it for that

little extra sparkle. 

Before I go I would like to welcome my new followers

and hope you like what you see and will continue to

support me.

Well my friends, that it for today, off the peg out my washing

so until next time,

 As Always

Good Afternoon, My crafty friends, followers and visitors,

Hope you all had a good weekend and got to do what you wanted?. 

Today's post is stamping, again using the digi designs, Whoopsi Daisy that

 I won the other week.  I must say I think I am improving (if only

a little ) and am determined to get the techniques if it's the last

thing I  do.

I have done three images over the  weekend and will show one each

day (don't want you to get too excited  all at once), although not so

sure about the last one, might leave it off, anyway I will see.

DETAILS

1. Started with a 6 x 6 scalloped edge card to which I have

added a patterned  paper from my stash.

2. The image was printed onto card stock and coloured 

using Spectrum Noir pens and cut out using Spellbinder

Die Labels Eight, before removing from the die

I used Tim Holt's distressed ink  Dried Marigold 

round the edges.

3. To complete I added ribbon and flowers down each 

side of the card and a Birthday Sentiment from my stash.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and that you will

call again soon.

Until next time, as always

Good Afternoon, My crafty friends, followers and visitors,

Not much been happening today, doing housework, washing then spent a couple

of hours in my craft room. I have had another go at colouring and although I am

putting it on my blog, I am not very happy with it. 

I cannot for the life of me get my colouring anywhere near most of you guys

and for this I apologise.   The image is one of a set of three images I won

the other week over at Robyn's Fetish Challenge and they are Whoopsi Daisy

digi stamps.  Believe me no one was more surprised than me, so I  though

better have a go  -  please be kind with your comments, I know its not brilliant.

DETAILS

1. Card base is 5 3/4 square and I added the backing paper from

my stash.

2. The image I coloured with Pro-markers then die cut it using 

Spellbinders Majestic Labels Eight. I then distressed around 

the edges with Tim Holts distressed ink(Dried Marigold).

3. The image was then mounted onto gold mirri card, before

adhering to the card I took another piece of backing paper 

from my stash and placed onto the card at a angle, then the

image was added again at an angle.

4.  The flowers were die cut using Spellbinder Blossoms Two

out of spotted paper from my stash and I added a blue gem

to the centre of each one.

I will be entering this into the One Word Wonder  Challenge

over at Mad Crafters Gigglers

OK folks that all for today

Have managed to do a male card today although I do not like doing them

as I never see to get them right but I am quite pleased with this one.

DETAILS

Brown card stock.
