Today's post was going to be a couple of the demo projects I made with the lovely ladies of Northallerton yesterday however after getting in from the the 3 hour drive I have come down with a raging case of 'Man Flu' (read cold for anyone else) Im hoping that its just the long drive and not my first manifestation of the dreaded man flu that Mr ND has been suffering with most of the week! Therefore I hope you will all forgive me and accept a few pics of a card I made recently using the stunning new Weaving dies from Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions. I made this card using the waste pieces from making a card using the full strips that I did for a project for CE.
I wasn't able to get my usual high Res photos as they decided to send this one off as well so it was quickly snapped on my phone!
I will revisit this die next week with more explanation so today just a close up and ingredient list.
Ingredients:
CE Craft dies by Sue Wilson
Weaving dies Striped & classic
Cornflower
Pierced Flags
Periwinkle & coconut white foundation card
Enjoy...
wow wow wow, this one really pops out ...got to get this die set!
ReplyDeleteanything to use up the waste is a bonus
hope you are feeling better soon john.
Hi John.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Thank you get well soon. Kitty.
Lovely card John, I think I an going to HAVE to get these dies, I like them more and more each time I see them. The colour is so pretty. Hope your feeling a little better today, although my son- in- law and daughter both had this bug all last week and it isn't pleasant! so just rest up and take it easy. Hugs to all, Linda.
ReplyDeleteLove blue cards and this is eye catching John.

I've been interested to know how these dies work since I first saw them. Looking forward to reading your instructions. Try and get some rest and you may be able to shrug off the flu - hugs.
ReplyDeleteHi John, a stunning card. Hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteEh up John
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! Love doing this with ribbon but looks fab in card. Extra wonderful in the periwinkle.
Now Mr, having had a bite of your pre-chewed caramel balls (steady folks, its cake!) I better not get this lurgy or you'll be in trouble!
It must be bad for you to slow down.
Chill day matey!

ReplyDeleteHi John
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear your not feeling up to much. Try taking it easy today. I love todays card and look forward to seeing how it's made, as it looks quite complicated. Take care.
This set of dies are so high up on my Need List! And the way you've weaved them is unusual and terrific rest up John - it seems the only way to beat this bug thing Look forward to seeing instructions but don't knock yourself out
ReplyDeleteGreat card, this die gives a very different look.

Take care

ReplyDeleteA brilliant card made with the waste. Hope you will be feeling better soon
ReplyDeleteLove the card John, yes it must be a cold, if it was really flu, you would be in bed for at least a week, with painful joints, even skin! (just had it).
ReplyDeleteHi John. I have this die but haven't got round to using it yet. Thank for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour.

Hope your Man Flu leaves quickly.
HAGD, Rose
John,
ReplyDeleteJust when I thought I'd seen it all, you show something so fabulous that I just sit in awe. "Why didn't I think of that???" You are a true artist. Have a great day.

Wish you better !

Hi John. Love the card. It's always good to be able to use up waste on another card. Sorry to hear that you have "Man Flu". I hope that a good nights sleep has done the trick. Take care.

ReplyDeleteFantastic cards John, nice to get a male point of view, hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteHi John,
ReplyDeletesorry to hear your not well.
I do hope you will be feeling better soon.
Beautiful card as usual, and lovely colour scheme.
Sorry I haven't been visiting lately, just find it very hard to get around all the commenting lately, and I seem to have reached a snails pace with my age, and
the new blood pressure meds I'm on.
Well done on your success with your products, and well deserved so too.
On another note my granddaughter is nearing the end of her pregnancy now, thank goodness.
Just thought I would update you as you were so kind to comment when I was worried that time last year.
Crafty Regards. Jenny L.
I hope it is just a cold John, flu is raging around the north east and I have a number of family members who are floored with it. Pamper yourself and take it easy for a few days, Beautiful card today, I just love the periwinkle card. Take care. Pat x
ReplyDeleteAwesome card! Love the weaving!
