Dreaming

Good Evening, my crafty friends, followers and visitors,

How are we all today, don't you think the weather has turned a little colder? I am sitting 

here and getting colder as the day draws towards evening. Don't like it, I 

was just getting use to the hot weather.

Today the card I have made will be my entry into the One Word wonder challenge

over at Mad Crafters Gigglers, as it has to be Vintage.

DETAILS

1. Stepper card cut from my new template that I purchased from 

Ruby Red Crafts and received today ( I just love it, if you want 

stepper cards quickly GET THIS) Card stock is brown.

2. I covered the card with vintage paper from my stash, then

added cream lace down the sides and along the bottom.

3. I took a paper lace doilie from Dovecraft also in cream

and cut it down the middle and then cut one half in two,

They were then stuck flat onto the card.

4. Using Joanna Sheen's Victorian Romance CD I selected

one of the images and adhered it to a piece of brown card, it

was then placed onto the card at an angle.

5. To complete I have added cream flowers from my stash.

Well my friends that's your lot for today, hope you will

pop back tomorrow.

Until then, As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting

Winter's Evening

Good Afternoon, my crafty friends, followers and visitors

How are we all today, weather not been to bad managed to get my garden done

and boy does my back know it.

              I told you the other day that hubby was taking me out for the day and would 

             not tell me where, well I can tell you we went to Quarry Bank Mill in Styal

          Cheshire ( it's about 40 mins drive from us).    If any of you are watching 

          The Mill on Sundays thats the mill that its based on and some scenes have

       been filmed there, mostly where the machines are.  We has a super day 

and its a nice place to visit, lovely gardens, nice cafe and the weather 

 was kind to us, what more can you ask for.

Well today I thought I would share another Christmas card with you again

using the Tattered Lace window Die (I do like this die)

DETAILS

1. Started with an 8 x 8 scolloped edged card to which I have

added another piece of card that I have embossed with a snowflake

design.

2. To enhance the snowflakes I have used Pinfliar Buff-it in Silver.

Before the panel was mounted onto the card I took  a piece of

tartan  ribbon and wrapped it around.

3. Using red mirri board I cut out the window with the Tattered

Lace Window die, I then took a winter scene from Robert Adams

CD Christmas Trees cut it down to fit behind the die then

adhered it to the card.

4. The pointsettia was cut using the Spellbinder die out of cream

centura pearl card and glittered (although its not showing up)

a red gem was added to the middle.  The flourish was again cut

using the same centura pearl cream card and also glittered.

  5. To complete I used the Tattered Lace Winter Wishes die for the

           sentiment  and  added another piece of ribbon that has the greeting

 Merry Christmas printed on it.

Well my friends I am afraid that is it for today, hope you enjoyed 

your visit.

Until Next Time

As Always

Good Morning, my crafty friends, followers and visitors,

Hope you are all well today and have your day planned.

Hubby is on holiday  this week and has told me we are going out today

 but is being very mysterious as to where, so I have no idea

 what he has planned but I will let you know.

Quick post today and as I said yesterday, its another 

Whoopsi Daisy image hope you like.

Details

1. Card is made from A4 Hammered finish card stock,

folded to create a A5 card.

2. I coloured the image using Spectrum Noir  Pens and

Pencils then cut it out using Labels Eight from Spellbinder,

before removing the image from the die I went around 

it using Dried Marigold distressed ink by Tim Holts

3. Using the next size up in Labels Eight I cut out another

die using the same Hammered finish card and mounted the

image onto it and adhered to my card.

4. To complete I made a bow, added a butterfly and

flowers from Sweet Lilac that have been enhances by

putting turquoise gems into their centres.

That's all for today my friends

and 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

Take Care and Happy Crafting

Ready to Dance

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

As Always

Sparkle and Bling

 Good Morning,

My crafty friends, followers and visitors,

Hope everything is well with your world today.  I would like to share with you yet

another little Christmas card, hope you like. Off to hospital this afternoon

to see if they can find out what the problem is with my leg. Will let

you know the outcome  tomorrow.

Details

1. Card base is 8 x8 card to which I have embossed using one of

the new Crafters Companion  embossing folder.

2. Using silver mirri card I embossed the tree using Die's ire 

   Embossalicious embossing folder ( O' Christmas Tree ). I

    then cut round the design and stuck to my card using foam

 pads to give some dimension.  I placed red gems onto to

tree to give some definition.

   3. With the mirri card again I embossed it with a lattice embossing

folder and then created the corner, again I have added red gems

to enhance it.

4. The sentiment is a die cut from Tattered Lace and I have 

completed the design by adding a tartan bow.

Hope you have enjoyed my little offering and hopefully

I will be back tomorrow with yet another Christmas make.

Until then

As Always

cannot have to much of a good thing with regards to our weather.

Well the decorating is done, for the time being at least and the house is back to normal.

The make today is yet again The  Christmas  Theme as will could quite a few more

of my makes as I have to get organised and this way I can make my Christmas

cards and blog at the same time (clever thinking ,well that's my excuse)

By the way all the baubles are silver, just a trick of the light that the end one looks red.

DETAILS

          1. I folded a piece of white card to measure 61/2" x 8"and added a black

frame that was made by using one of the Tonic punches.

  2. The baubles were made by using Die'sire Embossalicious folder

            Christmas Baubles with silver mirri board. I then cut out the baubles

and chains.

  3. To create the background I embossed a piece of white card using

Spellbinder( Holiday Magic) M-Bossabilities

4. I then took the baubles and arranged onto the background then

adhered to the black frame.

        5. The sentiment was cut from Silver mirri card with the Tattered Lace

 Winter Wishes sentiment.

6. To complete I added a black bow, silver gems and a silver dazzler.
