Good Morning my crafty friends. followers and visitors

Welcome to my Thursday blog, quick blog today as its a busy day.

Hope you are all well and still enjoying the summer although does

not look much like summer today.  Think a spot of rain might be

on the cards but with our weather who knows.  Today I thought

we would give Christmas a miss but be warned It Will Be Back

SORRY !!

DETAILS

1. Base card used  is 8 x8  scalloped edge, I then took a piece of shinny 

black card and embossed using my vintage embossing folder by

Crafters Companion and sanded it back a little.

2. Before adding to the base card I added the mint green ribbon and

tied to create the bow.

3. The image from Hundydory was matted onto black card and I 

added pearls from my stash to each corner before I adhered

it to the card using foam pads to give that little bit of height.

4. To complete I added mint green roses and a black feather and

added the sentiment.

Thanks for dropping by

As Always

Window to Christmas

Good Afternoon My crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Sorry not been around much but been busy decorating.  I suppose its one form of

crafting but not one I wish to take up, anyway how are we all? I hope you are

all well and enjoying the sunshine, although today is not very sunny here in

Warrington.  Yesterday whilst I was armed with my paint brush the sun was

shining and it was hot, today was Housework and I thought once done I

can enjoy the sunshine WRONG - windy and no sun Typical !!.

Now that I have gotten that off my chest lets move on, today's offering

is yet another Christmas card (well it's something we all have to get going with )

so hope you like? 

DETAILS

1. I took an 8 x8 scalloped edge card and to this I added a

piece of silver  mirri board which I have embossed using 

one of LeCreaDesign embossing folders - Art nr. 35.9753 

2. Using Tattered Lace dies - Sleigh and Window I cut

these out of red mirri board.

3. The picture is one from Hundydory and I adhered this

to the window frame before adhering to my card.

4. The Happy Christmas  sentiment is also from Tattered

Lace and was cut from the same red  mirri board.

5. To finish off I added a red triple bow by using the

new Bow Maker.

Before I leave, I would just like to extend a warm welcome to

my new followers ( I get so excited when I see another follower)

and hope you like what you see.

Well Folks hope you enjoyed till next time,

As Always, 

Take Care and Happy Crafting

Good Morning,

My Crafty Friends, Followers and visitors,

Hope you are all well and have managed to cool off, seeing as the weather is quite

cool here today.  Took Oscar out earlier and it started to rain, although not much

I was not impressed but thankfully it's stopped now.

Mary coming today, so will be having a catch up and doing some crafting.

Today's make is one I made yesterday, sorry but it's relating to the time

of year all crafters love, (ha!) YES CHRISTMAS.

DETAILS

1. Card used is an 8 x 8 scalloped edged white card.

2. I then took a piece of vellum and embossed it using

a snowflake design and mounted it onto another piece

    of white card using gold gem centre brads at each corner.

    Taking a piece of gold ribbon I wrapped around the centre

before adhering using glue to my card base.

    3. Using Phill Martins Sentimentally Yours Lacy Oval Frame

I stamped using versamark onto white card and embossed

with gold embossing power.  The sentiment is also one of

Phill Martins Christmas Verse Collection and again using

Versamark I stamped it into the centre of the frame and

   embossed in gold.  Then using foam pads to give dimension

I adhered it to the card.

4. To complete the design I added a bow .

Quite a simple card but I think it has worked well.

That's all for today my friends, hope you have enjoyed your visit.

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting.

Festive Fun

Hello Everyone,

OK own up Who has taken the sun today?? its been cloudy all day and the

temperature  sure has dropped a few degrees.  Hope you have all been busy

doing your own thing, me I have been doing housework, boring I know

but you have to do it.  Managed to catch Christina on C&C at noon, it

was her first time and I must say she handled it great.  She was demonstrating

Spellbinder and yes I did end up purchasing a couple of items - well you

just have to don't you!!.

Today I thought I would enter into the spirit of YES Christmas, hope

you like.

DETAILS

1. Started out with an 5 x7 card base to this I added a piece of

red mirri board.

2. Taking a piece of white card I embossed it with a snowflake

      design, I then added definition by using Metallic Gilding Wax

Ultramarine by Creative Expressions to the snowflakes.

3.  The image is by Amy Design and its called Christmas Couple.

       This I stamped onto a circle die cut frame from Spellbinder and

               coloured using pro-markers. I then added an overlay of snow acetate

and using foam pads I adhered it to the card.

    4. Taking a piece of polka dot ribbon I threaded it around the frame    

 and  added pieces of holly to give it a wreath effect.

5. The sentiment was die cut out of red mirri board using the

Robert Adams sentiment dies.

                    And there you have it, I would like to thank you all for taking the

               time to follow me and to welcome my new followers and to

                  thank  you  all for the comments on my work, I really do love 

reading them  and appreciate them.

So Folks that's it for today, hope you will come back for

another visit.

 As Always

Good Morning,

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

I hope you are all well and enjoying this gorgeous weather, I know I am.

Well this is a surprise, me having my blog ready at this time of day, to be honest

 yesterday I was very naughty and spent most of the day in my craft room, which

is something I rarely get to do and you know I managed to make quite a few

cards as the ideas just kept flowing.

As you know I have did not blogged must last week due to having the plasterers

in and my room being taken over as a store room.  thank goodness its finished

all that remains is to paint the ceilings and walls but that can wait until next week

as had enough mess for one week.  Nigel spent his day putting a primer coat

of paint on the ceiling and walls on the stairs and landing, I of course kept

his supplied with drinks, as he kept complaining he was sweating, ( I told

him we sweats just breathing never mind doing a job)  somehow I got

the impression he was not impressed.

Anyway down to business, hope you enjoy today's offering.

DETAILS

1.8 x 8 card stock, to this I added an embossed background card.

2.The image is from the Hunkydory and I have mounted this into

a frame cut from one of the Spellbinders 5 x7 Enchanted Labels.

I then glittered the brides dress and headdress to add more

definition to her.

3. The flourishes were cut using the Tonic Flourish die and to this

I added the lilies and roses from my stash and added stick pins.

3. To complete I added pearls to the frame and flourish's and

added the sentiment.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and that you will visit

me again.  Off to see mum soon, so As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting

Good Afternoon,

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Hope you are all coping with the weather, I am loving it as I am a

sunshine person, the rain and cold do not go down well with me.

Guess I live in the wrong country (HA!!).

Well not been up to much today, spent most of the day chilling out in the

sun and this afternoon Linda came round and yes she sorted my

Winners Challenge Badge out and its now on my blog.  Many

thanks Linda, don't know what I would do without your help!!.

Anyway here is a little card I have done, hope you like?

DETAILS

Started with an 8 x8 Scalloped card to this I added a piece

of Hunkydory folded Adorable Scorable cardstock  to

the bottom of the card and to the top of the card I added a piece

of Hundydory printed Adorable Scorable cardstock with

the lily design.

Next before adhering to the card I stuck a piece of lace 

across the join, then mounted onto my card.   The topper

has been decoupaged and I have pleated lace around the topper

of added effect.

To complete, I die cut the sentiment using the Tattered Lace

Happy Birthday die.

Well Folks thats all for today, hope you have enjoyed

your visit.

As Always Take Care and Happy Crafting
