One for Christina...

 

Mornin'  Wendy, who seems to feature on here more than I do, told me about a fab website called Card Making Magic where Christine shows demo's of really nice techniques.  On her I found her flower tutorial, as I'd been wondering what to do with my Tim Holtz Flower diethis was indeed magic.  Below is a gift / card I created to showcase my first attempt, hence to say thank you to Christine for the tutorial, and her flower strewn blog, which has become part of my daily checked list...

Heartfelt Creations Die for flaps

You can just see the rose popping out...

One for Wendy...

Hello,

as its the first of March thought I had at least make an attempt at blogging every day!  this card was a commission for a friend in my drama group who wanted a 50th (Golden) wedding anniversary card for some friends.  Wendy next door her blog is here helped me with placing of the gold glitter heart die cut and liked the end result, insisting I put it on my blog so here goes...

Golden Wedding Card

Recepie:

Spellbinders labels 8
Marianne Heart bird Die
Marianne Bird on Branch Die
Spellbinders Cherry Blossom Die (for flowers)
Gold Ribbon, Glitter Card, Velum all from stash (which grows ever larger!)

Below is a close up of the Heart, I love the look of this on Glitter card as I find it a little flat on normal card.

This card was so thick I had to make a special envelope for it, once again Wendy came to the rescue with her envelope box maker from a blog win on Christina's blog. I die cut window with the same labels and finished with a gold bow hope you like it.  Tomorrow one for Christina...

One of the box, Thanx for the lend wendy!

 

It's been a while...

I guess it's been a while since I posted but as I've working extra hours as well as rehearsing for a play I've had no time!  As I have a spare half hour thought I'd post a quick card or two

I have promised myself to post every day in March so we will see how I get on.  We these cards were made with the docrafts goody bag for Feb, enjoy...

Commisions

My Boss asked me for a Crad for the 16th birthday of a friends son.  He's into computers and is well known for breaking things so a broken computer card was born....

Its an easel card and the screen stands up,  to get the parts for the front I used an old mobile phone lol!

Happy New(ish) Year

This card was made for my mum to send to my partners family In England as we missed the last post here for Christmas.  It was supposed to go on on new years day but I haven't quite worked out the schedule thing yet lol. 

Something Lighter...

After yesterdays dark offering I thought I would show you the other side and something a little beige, strangely enough one of my favourite combinations.

This is a wreath designed to hang on the wall and detract from the bareness caused by the removal of the Christmas decorations.  Close up and hanging below.

A Litte Dark...

My news years resolutions were to blog everyday and not buy any new craft stuff, oh well both broken by the sixth! I will however keep trying.

Today's effort is a picture frame, a few months ago I was lucky enough to glean some broken frames from the bin at work.  One I gave to Wendy next door, we both altered one but I wasn't happy with mine so with some time off I decided to have another go.  As you can see this one is a little dark but I had fun playing with embossing powders, my big shot and a lot of glue and  paint, you can see Wendy much prettier version here.  I've included some close ups below, all the die cuts are with Tim Holtz Sizzix dies and embossing folders. Enjoy!
