BEEN WAITING TO POST

Well i made this card the other week and have been waiting to post it as made it for Jo and Mark Channon's silver wedding which was on the 16th may..

I took a 8x8 card and stamped around the edge with a brown ink pad (walnut stain) and i also used it to tone down the background paper which was from a papermainer pack , then again i used it to stamp the owl's then out came the water brush to pull the colour out from the stamped image the owl's are stamped onto a spellbinder die,and to finished off i put a few foe gem's in the corner's x d

FOR YOU ?

Hi ladies sorry not posted for a while but i am full of cold (man flu ha ha if you know what i mean) ,getting a bit sick of it now and the cough anyone would think i smoked 60 a day the only thing is i dont smoke, well better get on and tell you about the card.

I did the card at Jo Channon's the other week,we use a Stampavie stamp's and made 4 card's ,i will post the others at a later date,.


Now for this card we used a 8x8 card cut in half and folded it to make a tent shape, the purple paper on it was done by just traceing around the card but cutting it inside the pencil line ,this then gives you a small boarder, the image is stamped onto yep you got it a good old spellbinder ( what would we do without them) and coloured in with a mixture of promarkers and copic pens,the flourish around the side is a new Marianne die (just love them dont you) and a little punched out flower with a gem in the center,around the bottom right corner are some more little gems (think you can just see them).Well thats it for today girls, oh i have given the card to my neice as it is her birthday today xx

A CHILD'S YEAR

Hello to fellow blogers this card was made from A CHILD'S YEAR cart. I love this cart because it cover's all age's.

This card is a 6x6 with a white base for the main card, then a silver mirri card which has a bark texture on it.

The two scalloped layer's i cut from BASE CAMP cart, the white one is cut at 5.1/4'' and the lilac one which has a small pattern on was cut at 4.3/4'' as you can see i have just off set them from each other, then the little girl was cut at 4'', to finish off i used a few craftwork card's candie dot's.I must just add the images in this cart look wondreful when they are cut in dark colour's such as a white base and then black on the top or even brown and cream xD

Something a bit different

Well i have had a play today with my cricut machine. It's my cousin's little girl's birthday on monday so i have made this instead of a birthday of a card. I used a cream card for the base and two different patten's both in pnk for the top layer. I cut them from schoolbook cart. Around the edge's i have used a bit of distress ink to lift the image. To finished off i cut out some butterfly's,,swirl's and a fairey which had made up..Sorry picture is'nt great found it hard to take ..

Cheery Lynn & Memory Box

I have been playing around with die's as you can see. The frame is a cheery lynn heart frame, the wispy bit's are memory box which i have cutt into bit so they tuck under the edge of the heart frame. Noe the corner's and the mat which say's Happy Birthday all are spellbinder's.I must say a big thank you to a friend of mine for the loan of the Cheery Lynn and the Memory box die's.

     THANK'S MO
Hope you are all having a good easter break and doing something nice .
We have been to Coventry for two night's but it should have been three but we came home early as we did'nt like it aslo i could not find a craft shop (boo hoo) , so home we came so now i am going to play for a few hour's in my shed--cabin--hut--hide away xx

MY TAKE ON A SUE WILSON CARD

I saw this card on the tv a few weeks ago when sue wilson did one of her create and craft show's, if  you go on her blog you will see what i have done different.
Sue placed her three die shape's across the middle of her card, where you can see i have twisted mine a bit, i cut the die shape's in cream and coloured the with distress in scattered straw i think, all of the die's are spellbinder's xx

A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE

Today i think we need a little bit of sunshine. I saw this card on someone's blog but dont know who's it was,  but i hope you dont mind me copying it if you are a follower of mine.I did it on a 6x6 card a nd the image is cut from CHILD'S YEAR ,first cut with white on shadow then the top layer was cut in black,the back ground was three bit of paper stock,i ran two of then through the big shot (one has dot's on and the other has line's on) you cut the paper to make it look like sunray's 

PLAYING AROUND

 I had a little play day yesterday with a lily of the valley stamp, i stamped it with a very old ink pad infact i think it must have been one i have had year's it was so dry,but i like the result i got from it,the shape is a spellbinder, first i stamped it on white them cut it then i drew around it to give me a small gold edge,then i used a distress ink in broken china to dust over it,The main card i stampes around the edge's with a putty colour ink on it i placed a very pale blue card and on that i used my mind's eye paper pack,now to finish off with a few gold swirl's and flower's made from my marianna die. x 

PLAYING WITH THE CRICUT

The other week i went to lincoln to cricut craft group,which is run by a friend Fiona (she told and shown me everything i know about cricut and the design studio) we meet up once a month in washingborough, so if you are local or dont mind traveling come join us we are a very friendly bunch and you would be made very welcome,we pay a small fee for the rent of the room.
  Now for the card it's an 8x8 and thr robot is cut from the robotz cartridge,first cut in black on shadow,the in green for the main bot body then you have to cut it twice each time in a different colour to give him his own image.Behind him i have put a frame this was cut from ummm ? i think that was elegant edges cart ,the textured card with the circles on was a bit of gold that i ran through the cuttlebug and finaly the background paper is my minds eye paper pack the i really love ,well thats it for now back soon hope you like him xx

Just playing with kanban

Yes i'm back again you are not seeing thing's,,this is a kanban stamp and coloured in with promarkers, the frill on the top and bottom was punched with a martha punch and butterfly and leaf are both marianna die's

Guilding Day

Another crafting day at Jo Channon's, this time we used mainly stamp's by Indgo Moon and applied flitter glue (funny word is'nt it) , you put the glue on the stamp just like spreading butter on bread , stamp but dont press hard onto your card as you will end up with your work stuck to the stamp,then it is time to use the guilding flake's,and oh what fun that is (rembember dont sneeze/cough or laugh to much when u you use them as they will fly everywhere belive me) . I had not used them before so it was fun to try them.

Two from jo's

I went to a craft class at jo channons last week and made 4 card's i am posting these 2 as i enjoyed doing them very much...


This one was stamped onto rainbow card so very little colouring was needed even the back ground was rainbow card so but turning the card around you could get the shading,,now dont ask me who's stamp it is because i have forgot (silly me)

This card i really love i even think i did a good job colouring it in with the help pf my promarker's ,the stamp is a little claires and the good thing it that everything is on one stamp, so no masking and stamp lineing up..This card is going to my bother-in-law who is going to be 65 next week.Hope he will like it.
