Love is in the Air......

Hey lovelies, hope you're all well.

I've been having a little tidy up in the craft room and I came across some papers

from the Making Cards magazine.......dated February 2017!! I remember using

some back then but had forgotten I had a couple left. Well, it would be rude

not to use them, don't you think?

5 dies used as per Wendy's challenge.....I'll definitely be keeping all of them!

Black & red card from the scrap box, flowers from my stash & the sentiment was

computer generated. Love how this one turned out......now all I need is to figure out

how to take a straight photo lol. All these years  and  I'm now struggling! 

Even when I edit it it still doesn't look straight..........or maybe it's me that's wonky?

Thanks for calling & for any comments you might leave and don't forget,

there's still time to enter my SOMETHING NEW challenge here.

Love is in the air.....

Hello lovelies, hope you're all well.

Another grey, wet & miserable day here......not that I'm complaining, I much prefer

this weather to the heat! 

I've found myself making more & more CAS style cards lately, especially ones using

 dies. I do still love my layers but there's just something kinda nice about CAS......plus

 once I get going it's a lot quicker!

Anyway, 2 dies & a stamp is all I used on this card......and the card was from my scrap

 drawer too! Apologies for the colour of the card.......IRL it's brilliant white but this

 weather is making everything look a bit 'off'!

Thanks for calling & whatever you're up toI hope you manage some craft time.

Wendy's Challenge

Hi crafty friends, hope you're all well.

Wednesday already and time to share another make and join in with

Wendy's challenge where she's challenging us to use our dies. It's a great

way to sort our dies out & see which ones we actually do use.

Today's die was brand new, still in the packet so I really did need to use

it........and it's a keeper! I think it's so pretty and although it came with the

'with love'  sentiment  would be so easy to change either for another sentiment

or to stamp in the centre.....so many possibilities. It's a Sweet Dixie die and

measures approx 4 inches square.

Thanks for calling......have a lovely evening and don't forget, my challenge

SOMETHING NEW is here.

Thank You

Morning lovelies, hope you're all well & warm this dull, grey, windy & damp

morning. A couple of crafty hours for me today before the troops descend

for tea.......do you have anything nice planned?

A thank you card to share today.......I love sending a thank you card, much nicer

than a text or an email......don't get me wrong, a thank you is nice in any form but

for me I love taking the time to make something. Simple matting and layering

for this one.....a die cut banner & a little floral element finished with a faux gem.

The papers & topper were from Making Cards magazine....so pretty and so

useful too.....there's always something suitable for most occasions with this mag.

Rightio, better get a move on......thanks for calling & don't forget......my

challenge SOMETHING NEW is here.

Wendy's Challenge

Hi crafty friends......'tis a cold, grey, windy & wet day here on the Yorkshire

Coast.......a perfect day for crafting, I think!

Thanks so much for all your lovely comments on my failed attempt at a

shaker card.......I think I'll have to have another go soon, can't let it beat me!

Or maybe I'll just leave them well alone lol. 

Blog buddy Wendy over at Spanish Crafter has set a challenge to use a die on every

post......I'd love to join her but don't think I can manage every day so I'm going to 

try & join in every week. I used an unbranded die I've had in my stash

for ages......wasn't quite sure about it but once I cut it I loved it.....will definitely

be keeping this one!  The background is acrylic paint, I stamped the sentiment, added

the die cut then mounted on black card then white.

Thanks for calling......see you soon.

Don't forget, my challenge SOMETHING NEW is here.
