With Love

Morning crafty friends, hope you're all keeping well & managing some craft &

blogging time........I think for a lot of us it'll be such a big help and being able to 

communicate with our blog friends is so important.....now more than ever.

Still on my mission to use up some stash and today I'm sharing a topper made with

an image and paper from the Making Cards magazine 2017!! Black card for layering

and some faux gems to finish and that's it!

Thanks for calling.....be back soon.

Using Up Some Stash!

Hi friends, happy Saturday.....hope your weekend's gotten off to a good start.

I'm on a mission to use up some stash & first out of the box was a few bits I had left

from the Out of this World kit from Hunkydory....also on my desk was my new

set of Moonstone banner dies, also from Hunkydory.....put the two together and this

is what I came up with........

For the topper on the left I simply matted & layered the die cut elements and added some 

die cut stars. Still had a few bits left so I made some little embellishments......same

again.....some matting & layering & a few faux gems to finish.

And I still have a few bits left!

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

Using up some Stash!

Hello crafty friends, hope you're all well.

'Tis a bit blustery here in my little part of the Yorkshire Coast but we have

beautiful blue skies.......really does feel like Spring is in the air!

I feel a Spring clean coming on but first.......time to use up some stash then

hopefully I'll have less to clean lol!

The paper pad I used for this card was a freebie with a mag....such lovely papers,

I can't believe they've sat on a shelf unused for so long! A DL sized card, I simply

cut & layered the papers onto white card after I'd inked the edges then did the same

with the die cut butterflies. I added the Tim Holtz chit chat stickers then finished

with  a faux pearl in the centre of each butterfly.

Lots to do so I better get on......thanks for calling....see you soon

Own Your Dreams

Morning lovelies, hope you're all well, warm & safe.

I have a card to share today, I made this for my sons girlfriend & thankfully

she loved it! A 5x5 card base, I added a snippet of striped paper from the scrap

box. For the topper I simply 'swooshed' some ink, added a dream catcher cut

from holographic card then cut another so I could layer the feathers. I added a

word sticker from Tim Holtz then finished with a little gem. The dream catcher is
another unused die so I can join Wendy's challenge with this make too!

Challenge #2 Love Is In The Air

Hi  friends, welcome to my latest challenge and as it's February the theme just had to be

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

We all need a little love in our lives and what better way to show it than with a

handmade card? 

For my card I started with a kraft base, added a cream card layer then a distressed

paper layer. I die cut the hearts from kraft then pieced a few back in. I added the 

die cut words, also in kraft then finished with a couple of faux pearls.
