Golden Oldie...

Happy Wednesday,

I always love making 3D projects and cards that move so I wanted to share this card today for its golden oldie outing!  I think this is one that will of been missed by a lot of my blog family bot, although it took a long time to  make, it really was worth the effort!

Golden Oldie...

Happy Tuesday,

Ive chosen one of my favourites for todays golden oldies and the technique used on this card is really useful as you can supplement loads of different dies to make this one!
























The technique is really simple all I did was to cut the die which is square shaped with four arms to it.  I then pulled the arms into the centre and adhered it with a pearl.  I added a lilac square in the centre and then simply repeated the process and covered the front of this hand made gatefold card with them.

Peony and Box...

Happy Monday,

There isn't a way I could revisit any golden oldies without featuring this box and matching card which has been the most popular project, and tutorial on my blog since the beginning!

There is a video tutorial on this available on the original post HERE

I have added a few more shots ion this card and box as it really is one of my favourites and still has ( after being gifted back to me by Wendy) pride of place in my craft room!

Golden Oldie...

Happy Saturday,

Today I am demonstrating at the Create It event in maidstone on the Art of Craft stand so if you are in the area pop along and say hi!

I have decided that whilst I make some changes to the structure and content on my blog I would share some golden oldies with you over the next week or so.  What I mean is some of the projects I made at the beginning of my crafting journey on the blog.  Some of these have proved to be the most popular posts and I know that as many blog family has grown a lot of my earlier cards and projects may have drifted off into the air!

That said I thought I would start with this project I first posted in June 2014 which seems so long ago.

Pixies in the Daisies...

Happy Friday,

I am sure a lot of you have seen the announcement on Facebook regarding my ambassador role with creative expressions.  for those of you who haven't I thought I'd share the announcement with you all (below).  After nearly 3 years I am looking forward too new challenges in the Craft world and I wanted to reassure my wonderful Blog family that I will be continuing with the blog and will be starting some new features over the coming weeks.






This also means that whilst I will still be using Creative Expressions products I will now also feature products from other companies and other crafts.  I really hope that you all stay with me on my continuing crafting journey!

Todays card feature my Michaelmas Dasiy A6 stamp along with the horticultural text background all stamped and coloured with Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders.

Creative Expressions and John Lockwood have mutually agreed to bring to a close the ambassador role that John was fulfilling for the company. This decision will allow John to explore other creative avenues in the craft world. We would like to thank John for his fantastic contribution and wish him every success in the future.

I would personally like to Wish the Team and company every success in the future x

Just to reassure anyone I will continue with all the Independent workshops and demo days that I have booked and will also be looking at running more of the weekday and weekend retreats.

The journey continues ...

Gold Flowers...

Happy Thursday,

Another simple stamped card today, I hope this run of stamping is inspiring some of my blog family to take out their stamps and have a go. I get the feeling from the comments that its inspiring quite a few.

I simply stamped the core from my vintage rose clear stamp set in perfect medium and heat embossed it with bright gold embossing powder.  O then stamped the vintage floral circle and heat embossed this before cutting t out with the double pierced circle dies.

Enjoy...
