Trellis of Love

Good Morning my crafty friends, followers and visitors,

Just a quick blog today as off to Bolton at 9.30 yipppppppp. for the

 Great Northern Craft Show.

I thought I  would  go a little romantic today. Well whatever you are

getting up to today enjoy and I will report tomorrow about the show.

DETAILS

1. I took an A4 sheet of brown card and folded in half to make an A5 card.

I then rounded the corners.

2. To this I added gold mirri board which I have embossed using

the Tonic Amelia A4 embossing folder.

3. The trellis frame (from my stash) was distressed with Tim Holt's

Antique Linen and to this I threaded a piece of lace which had

been coloured beforehand with Tim Holt's Fired Brick.

4. I cut two of the sentiments in Black and gold and

off set the  layers so as to create a shadow effect

 I used one of the new sentiment dies from Tonic.

The little heart at the top is the waste form the word

Love.

5. Flowers are from Sweet Lilac, dazzler and dazzler setting

are from Creative Expressions.

6. To complete I added pink gems to the trellis.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and as always

Take Care and Happy Crafting.

Good Evening to my crafty friends, followers and visitors,

Well today has been very quite for me so I have spent most of my day in my craft room and
watching Create and Craft .  I did intend to do some planting but seeing the weather I decided
 not today. I am afraid I love my garden but only like to work in it when the weather is warm and sunny.

Today's make is a little on  the  sophisticated style, hope you like.

DETAILS

1.  8 x8 Metallic Grey card 

2. I then used a Hunkeydory embossed red card to

create the background.

3. Onto black card I used the mask( ornate Frame) from

Creative Expressions. The textured paste was also from

Creative Expressions - Warm Gold Sparkle Cosmic Shimmer.

4. The image if from one of Debbie Moore's design collections. I

cut slits into the frame and put to allow me to create a dome with

the image.

5. To complete the card I added feather, flowers and red gems

from my stash.

Thank you for visiting, I hope you have enjoyed it.

Until next time

Take Care and Happy Crafting.

Fairy Dream

Hello my Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable bank holiday.  At least the weather was bright and
sunny.  Did not get up to much only doing the washing then relaxed in the garden until time to
visit mum.
When we got back we went into the hot tub then had a barbecue, then into my craft room, very  enjoyable end to the day.

 Well it's Tuesday already and I must say I am really looking forward to Saturday as I am off to
 The Great British Craft Festival at Bolton Arena with my cousin.

Today make is a Fairy  Theme - hope you like?

DETAILS

1. I used an 8" x 51/2" fancy shaped white card

2. To this I added Lilac Ribbon which I threaded through 

the card corners and twisted.

3. I selected the topper from MCS Illustrious Illusions CD2.

I then printed out just the fairy and cut out and decoupaged

her. Her wings were then glittered. It was then mounted onto

Gold mirri card.

4. The background is also from MCS - World of watercolour1

and is titled Butterfly Wing. This also was mounted onto Gold

Mirri card.

5. To complete the card, I added Lilac flowers, two strands of

lilac beads and lilac gems all from my stash.

might have a nice day.  Todays card is mostly Tattered Lance, I hope you like?

DETAILS

1. I used an  8 x 8 White card bank to this I cut two corners into 

the card using a Tonic Corner Die. I then embossed the card

front using a Sheena Douglass embossing folder from her

Taste of India Collection, then I  covered it using Lilac ink. 

2. I then added lemon pearl card to the inside, so that it would

show through the corners.

3. Next I took lemon pearl  card and die cut the frame using the

Tattered Lace Ornamental Diamond Rectangle and added it to

the card.

4. The centre flower and the butterfly were both cut using again

Tattered Lace dies.

5. The other corner pieces were made up by using  the waste

from the Ornamental Diamond Rectangle. Pearls were

added to the frame and butterfly.  The tag for the 

sentiment is the inner part of the Diamond Rectangle and

to this I added the words made up from the Tattered Lace

Alphabet dies

6. The whole card was finished off by adding a lemon bow.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and as always

Until Next Time

Summer Fun

Good Evening my crafty friend,followers and visitors,

Not had much time to craft this weekend as its flown by and things have been a bit hectic. Firstly
going back and to to see mum, who by the way is improving and is now eating although her back
pain will not ease, hopefully she will be able to cope. Secondly my dear Hubie yesterday
decided he would vacuum out his car and whilst cutting the cable tie on his hoover, yes you have
guessed he managed to slice the top of his finger with the Stanley knife.  Men being men he told
me to just plaster it up.  This happened around lunch time and by 8pm I was winging him to
A & E as the bleeding would not stop and he ended up having three stitches (MEN), so by the
time we got home it was after 10pm. Hey Ho that's life, anyway I hope you like my creation.

DETAILS

1.  8 x8 white card blank to this I added  navy  card.

  2.   A smaller backing card in red was added on top 

of the navy card.

3. I then die cut another navy card using the Spellbinder

Grand Circles.

4. Once the circle was cut I then pleated red dotted ribbon

all the way round the edge.

5. Using white card stock I die cut the Ferris Wheel the

Helter Skelter and Carousel using the Tattered Lace

dies and then backed them onto red card.

6. The sentiment was created by using the Tattered Lace

alphabet and mounted onto navy card an then

mounted using foam pads.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and I would you to leave a

comment.

Until next time, Take Care and Happy Crafting.

Playtime

Hi Everyone, hope you are all well?. 

 The weather here is not very nice today as it's raining but

 I will be able to play in my craft room without looking out and thinking I need to be in the

sun.  Once again its Thursday (my how the weeks are flying by) and Mary my cousin will

be coming over, not sure how much crafting we will do as we have to go out first.  Anyway

my friends whatever you are are up to hope you have a good day. Today.s card is again a

stamped one - Hope you like?

DETAILS

Card is made from white card stock and measures 20cm, I scored at 10cm

to create the panel.  Next I embossed the front panel with a Sheena

Douglass  Taste of India embossing folder.  The inside panel has been

covered with a backing paper from the Tattered Lace magazine ( think it

was issue 1).  I then die cut the tree using the Spellbinder Flutterby Tree

and cut extra butterflies for the front panel. The image I coloured using

Pro-Markers then mounted onto a piece of Hessian before attaching to

the card. For the  finishing details I added buttons and a bow from my

stash and placed the extra butterflies around the image. The sentiment

was stamped onto white card and die cut using  part of a Die'sire 

Magic Mirror die.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge

I love Pro-markers  #220 Anything Goes

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and that you will come back soon.

As Always Take Care and Happy Crafting
