Box Cards

Good Morning All

Whenever I am asked to make a card for someone, I tend to go for Box cards, as they are a Wow card I think.

Here are three I have made in the past few weeks.

I enjoy making them too which is a bonus and I can use lots of flowers.

The last one I did make a box for too as it was quite sticky uppy.

Here is my card for my challenge this week which is Tic Tac Toe.

I used a sweet LOTV Topper matted onto an inked doily with heart pearls stuck around.

i added two sentiments as  the image is two babies in a pod (Twins)

And a cute rocking horse charm tied on with organza ribbon.

I used     Pink - Charm - Baby

*************

These are the gifts I gave  out at my Craft Club on Friday - Tweezers which I made a slide in pouch for. 

 I try to give something Craft related one week then sweets or chocolate the next, mind you, in this heat, chocolate is not a good idea!!!

Buttons & Bows

The background is from a pad from Hobbycraft when I was in UK and I punched the corner shape.

I used scraps of card to weave a corner and I stuck these onto a stictched circle that was already cut on my desk.

Added the buttons and one of my bows with a pearly centre.

The sentiment is from one of Johns stamp sets

Just For You x 2 & Thank You

Good Morning All

I keep a stock of Groovi cards to give to my family, Craft club ladies, and to include with swaps.

Here are afew which I thought worth showing you.

I like this one, nice and bright.

Very happy with the border work on this one

Both mounted on different colours of Rainbow card which gives a nice effect with parchment.

This one has a Pixie Powder and Acetate background

I may be starting a Groovi class/workshop at my new, local Craft shop in September, just waiting for them to get the stock and the Starter Kits.

This should be fun.

Bits & Bobs

Good Morning All

We had a very busy weekend.

Went to the quiz on Friday and won 6 bottles of wine and a box of Smarties!!

Saturday was the village Fiesta parade so we joined some friends to watch that.

Then on Sunday John and & had a BBQ and our new neighbours joined us for a drink afterwards.

So back on a strict diet this week after I put on 1lb when I got weighed at club last Thursday.

*****

I always end up with lots of smaller pieces of embossed card or paper after I have cut a square.

So here are two card, very similar where I am trying to use these bits up.

These could be used for afew different occasions.

Hope you like.

Charms for Allsorts

Good Morning All

It is my turn to host the Allsorts Challenge this week. 

I have chosen a theme of

CHARMS

Very often my cards start out with something that is lying around on my desk, and this was no different.  The starting point was the New Home Sentiment that I had cut with the free dies I got when I bought my Gemini machine.  Also a piece of card I had coloured using Izinks and brushes.

So I stamped some trees onto the card from a set of Johns stamps and added organza ribbon where I had left a blank stripe.

I added a New Home charm to one ribbon and an Elephant for good luck to the other.

I matted the sentiment onto yellow card so that the colours matched the blue and yellow of the inking.

The prize Sissix is giving this week.

Splish Splash for MAWTT

Good Morning All

Splish Splash

 is the theme for Moving Along With The Times Challenge this time, chosen by Jodie from Team A.

I went for an LOTV Topper of a man fishing.

The background is one I made myself, as I was testing my ink spray by  spraying it onto paper.

I thought it looked like a spray of water.

As it turned out OK I glued onto a piece of card then ran it through  Leafy Montage EF.

I stuck a circle sentiment onto a hexagon and tied a Wish charm onto it with twine.

CAS for Allsorts

Good Morning All

CAS is the theme for Allsorts this week chosen by our Tracy.

Clean & Simple

Quite hard for me to do as I like to add Charms, ribbon, pearls etc etc.

I had afew scraps of card left on my desk from another project and thought they were too pretty to throw so I left them as they were and mounted onto lilac card, one was just the right size for a sentiment stamp.

I embossed white card with a butterfly folder and inked the edges and left it at that.

I soooo wanted to add some butterflies and a ribbon, but no, I was strong and left it alone.

Brenda is giving a lovely prize of these die  sets
