Just for you.

Hi there on this Thursday Morning. I made this background at my craft class it was so easy to make and the results are amazing.
With a A4  piece of card start by using one paint colour ( acrylic paint ) aply with your finger in a circular motion then space the same colour out in to different places on the card. Repeat with more colours filling all the space on the card.
To complete the background ink up a selection of stamps in black ink in turn sponge a stencil in white ink randomly all over the background.
Finally stamp the main image in black archival ink using a white liner pen to give the girl definition, cut down to size then back onto black card leaving a small border. Stamp a sentiment onto a blank white card in the bottom right hand corner. Adhere the whole completed project onto the prepared card.
Thank for your company and happy crafting.😊

Delightful fairy.

Hi there on this Tuesday afternoon. I thought I'd share this quick card with you i made yesterday, created with a brusho background.
Here's my creation....
I inked some hills with a torn piece of paper, stamped my image in position along with foliage and stars. I also added a sentiment and finally covered the  fairy wings and stars with glitter glue to make the card pop.😊

Delightful daisy.

Hi there on this Tuesday afternoon. I thought I'd share is quick card with you today featuring the delightful daisy stamp set from stampin up.
It's the first time I have used this stamp set since i bought it last year and what a Lovely stamp set it is. I have had fun putting the card together, there are so many ways you can use this beautiful set. I have quite a few cards made with this set and will be sharing them over the next week or so. Please join me again and found out what I created.

Winter Memories.

Hi there on this Monday Morning, Hope you had a good weekend. I have decided to share this Christmas album with you today. I put the album together by creating 4 individual books, each one with a different Christmas scene inside which I adhered together to form the album.  The scenes came already pre die-cut in a book and ready to pop out to make individual dimensional cards. I thought it would be different to make some of the cards into this keepsake album and to adhere Christmas photos to the blank spaces inside. Hope you like it.
Thanks for calling in and happy crafting.

Pointsettia.

Hi everybody on this Sunny Thursday Morning. Hope your week is going well. Today I thought I'd share a white and gold Christmas card designed on a 8×8 in card blank, with simple Matts and layers, embossed gold sentiment, Sue Wilson's pointsettia dies and swirls.
A simple card to batch make, even change the colour combination and add more elements- flowers, foliage and sparkle?

Autumn tree.

Hi everybody on this Sunny Monday afternoon. I have a quick and easy autumnal card to share with you today.
The background paper is from out of a A5 paper pack from docrafts, which you no longer can be purchased any more, but i thought the paper suited the card so well.
The stripe of copper mirri board behind the vellum was embossed in white embossing powder with a set of leaf stamps by crafters companion.
The sentiment stamp is from stampendous, the tree die I believe is from Marianne designs and the rest is from my crafty stash.
Thanks for calling in and happy crafting

Memory book.

Hello everybody on this Thursday afternoon. I'd like to share this memory book with you today which l intended to share awhile ago.
I started by taking the hinges off the box, gave it a quick sand and applied a coat of gesso to the front and back sections. I tore stripes of decoupage paper into pieces and used mod podge to stick it onto the front of the book then repeated again on the back. I painted the spine with white acrylic paint and fixed the hinges back on when it was dry.
I decorated the aperture with a tonic studio's die, the flowers and swirls are extra additions.
I finished the project by adding a butterfly and stamped the words Dream and Inspire on card in black ink. ( the stamp set comes from crafters companion ) The persplex window holds a photo for which it is designed for, but one of the photos featured has a LED tea light in the window which I thought looked decorative as a home decor piece.
Hope you like it. 😊

Home for Christmas.

Hello everybody its a start of another week. My project for today is a Lovely Christmas card from Jane's craft class. I don't know what the shape of this card is called but I like the effect it creates. I believe the wreath is stampin up and I love the village scene dies and the beautiful sentiment stamps. It also folds flat for postage which is always a good idea.

Bauble card.

Hello on this Sunday Morning. I would Love to share this quick and easy Christmas card with you. It's a simple design using a background sheet from hunkydory. I used a circle from 1 of the design sheets and a length of bakers twine to give the impression of a bauble hanging from a tree. I added the charm and the die cut sentiment to complete the overall look to this project.

Its your Birthday.

Hi there on this Tuesday Morning. I thought I'd share this simple card shape, which when opened reveals a pocket for a gift voucher etc, open the card out again it reveals a hidden sentiment.
I made the card shape using 2 6×6 ins card blanks, butting them up together to form 2 folds which when folded flat fit neatly into one another.
To decorate the card i used the paper boutique nesting dies, decorating the front, middle and inside flap with 2 colours of cardstock.
A very simple decorated card but shows now the dies are so versatile.

Create art everyday.

Hi there on this sunny Sunday afternoon. Here is a project I made with a inexpensive wooden birdhouse I picked up.
Firstly I covered the birdhouse in white gesso, then give the roof 2 coats of pink acrylic paint, when dry I mod podged pieces of decoupage decorative paper onto the walls, roof front and stand. I adhered a mixture of pastel coloured buttons onto the roof, not being to careful if they matched or not.
I adhered a small length of pink bobble trim under each side's of the roof, with the birdhouse decorated i carried on decorating the front with a wooden ornament bird, a sentiment 'create art everyday' and small pearl flowers. On the back of the birdhouse I adhered a sleeping wooden owl to finish my project. This is just one idea but you could change it to suit your own style. I have a memory book to share with you another day.
Thanks for calling in, please leave a comment if you wish. I would love to know what you think about this project.

Shaker easel card.

Hi there, hope you had a Lovely bank holiday weekend. My quick share today features one of the die collections from Lynda Chapman's paper boutique range. I thought I'd incorporate a shaker into the centre circle for something a little bit different and make the card into an easel. The options are endless with these dies. Please join me next time to see what I achieve with Lynda's paper boutique dies.
