Wk 36 - Gems & Pearls Challenge

Hello Folks,

Yes, I know I said I would not be doing anymore crafting this week, well it rained a bit yesterday so I thought I would have a go with the next challenge.

I have used white card stock to make the square card, 2 different coloured card stocks, 2 patterned papers, flowers, brads, card candy, cuttlebug with spellbinders shapes, glitter, pearls, gems and the lovely Making A Wish image coloured with Whispers Pens.

Thats definitely it for me until after the bank holiday monday, do enjoy the rest of the weekend, until next time, take care and happy crafting, lol

No Crafting but garden, yeah colours

Hi Folks,

Sorry been taking a rest for crafting, but have been sorting the garden out and have finally removed all the fleeces today as the temperature at night for the rest of the week is not below 8 degrees.

I love to see flowers and colour everywhere especially as it encourages all the wildlife to come in and visit us even those predators who seem to think its a fast food restaurant!

I doubt if I will be doing much crafting the rest of the week and so I will more thank likely be back blogging again after the bank holiday especially as I hoping to go to the Kent Detling Garden Show over the weekend.

Do have a great weekend, take care, lol

Wedding Stationery

Hi Folks,

Thought I would just pop in to show you what I have been working on recently as one of my nieces is getting married next year she has asked me for help with regards to stationery etc.

I have tried to come up with ideas where it is attractive but basic for ease and cost as we all know weddings are expensive. So I came up with the idea of invites being the same as the order of service, just the sentiments and middle of the card different, also keeping the layout basically the same for all the items.

I have used white card stock to make the base of the items with fuchsia fizz card stock and creamy white card stock, fuchsia ribbon and a lovely digi image of a church. I have also used the cuttlebug with spellbinders scalloped shapes and the love hearts embossing folder for the cream card stock for the table seating which is an easel card, also the base of this is where the person's name can be put on, all there is left to do is where the scallop shape is on the left side put the bride and grooms name plus on the right side the wedding date. I have also used the embossing folder on the cream of the card for more effect and have attached a gothic punched sheet of paper in the card which does not show in this picture.

All this is just trial until I show my niece, so you never know what might change and until next time do take care and happy crafting, lol

6 Easter Cards

Hi Folks,

Well certainly have been busy here, its a catch up week as I normally do the Crafts and Me Challenges but the latest one is all about Distressing and well I have no idea about how to go about this in crafting, will have to find some info on this matter somewhere for future. Luckly enough it has allowed me to get on as I have started to fall behind where I have had troubles with my eyes.

For these cards I have used the same layout design just different papers or images and they all have the theme of Easter such as Bunny, chick or eggs. I have used white card stock to make the square cards, gem stones or pearls, lace, flowers, cuttlebug, hearts embossing folder, Spectrum Noir pens, 2 sets of patterned papers per card, 2 sets of coloured card stock per card, sentiments and of course some lovely images.

Well thats it for me for the moment, so until next time take care and happy crafting, lol

LMC NO 115

Hi Folks,

Another busy week its seems, I ended up making 7 cards for this challenge and will be showing only 3, my favourite ones. I did start with the one on the next post and as I was so pleased with the effect I tried to make others but was not quite as good as the first, which was strange as I found it very hard. Lost my mojo especially as it was also for another challenge.

I have used white card stock to make the square cards, 2 different coloured card stocks per card, 2 co ordinating papers per card, card candy, flowers, brads, sentiments, whispers pens, glitter, cuttlebug, embossing folders swirls, swiss dots and some lovely digi images.

I do hope you like these, sorry the images are a little bit blurred, dont know what happened there, must be off to do the other post now, see you shortly, lol
