Hunkydory

 Good Morning All

Well we got to Melbourne OK, very tired though but good after a full nights sleep.

We went into city yesterday and had a walk alomg the river and went up to the Skydeck, 88 floors.

 

One of my Craft ladies gave me a bag full of Hunkydory kits.

Although I do like them to look at, I must admit I am not a great fan of using them, but waste not want not as the saying goes. So I sat at my desk and set to with a set suitable for Man cards and here are the cards I made, lots of them!!! I think I made about 20 cards.

Most of them are A5 size and they have filled my charity boxes up nicely!

Hunkydory as Allsorts Reminder

Good Morning All

No Allsorts Post today as last weeks challenge runs for 2 weeks as it is our Birthday weeks.

The theme is Anything Goes so these 4 cards just about cover it.

Hunkydory  members get a free offer every so often and only have to pay postage.

So the pack was delivered to Rick and Loriens and they posted it here for me along with some Bovril cubes, which I cant buy here.  I use these to make a drink, yummy.

There are 12  (4 x 3 of each theme)  sheets in the pack including 4 sheets of toppers.

I just used  1 lot of 3 sheets on these 4 cards.

These will all help fill the charity box up ready for when this virus is over, whenever that may be.

I must admit that I am happy to stay at home a while longer yet and only go out for necessities.

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

I have been doing alot of Crochet while on lockdown and here a summer cardigan I have done is a lovely soft cotton yarn which my local craft shop delivered to me.

I added the extra panel around the bottom to cover my bottom!!!

Good Morning All

I started a subscription to Papercraft ......... and I got my first one last week.

With it, came a Hunkydory card making pack.

Now, as much as I love the look of Hunkydory I am not a big fan of using them but I must admit, that once I got started I did enjoy it.

I have used the odd pack before HERE

From the pack, I made  7  -  A5 size

2 Square

4  -  5 x 7 Stepper and still afew bits left over to make a couple more.

Here are afew of them.

                     I really enjoyed doing the stepper cards, not made any for ages of this style.

I took this opportunity to make Tess's Christmas card too as I thought these images were quite cute.

I cant wait to see the little one, in fact all of them when I go over in November.

She is chatting away now and out of nappies, so getting a big girl.

Hunkydory - Last 6

Good Morning All

Still in the Northwest visiting family, until Saturday, then hope to grab a lift off John as he is demoing in the area.  He lives about an hour away from Rick and Lorien.

Last six of the sixteen cards I made from just two sheets of Hunkydory toppers.

Some are A5, some A6, some DL and some square 5 x 5.

A mixture of Birthday, Thank You, Thinking of You and Get Well

I have got quite a sense of usefulness and wellbeing from doing these, using scraps from stash and getting out of my comfort zone by using something I,m not used to.

Hopefully, after being with John I shall come back renewed and invigorated and wanting to try new ideas, as I do after watching him,  and all the others from the Creative Expressions team.
Plus I may have bought afew goodies from the CE shop,  but don't tell anyone.

Very pleased with this last one as I literally, used all the scraps, as tiny as they may be, from the other cards, to make the background.

More Hunkydory

Good Morning All

Afew more of the cards I made from just two Topper sheets from Hunkydory.

I must admit that when I got the sheets out, I looked at them and really had to think about how to use them.  But once I got started I was away.
I used lots of bits from stash, especially scraps of paper and card.

Some of the card had a picture of a Teddy already printed on it, like the first card on this post and I wasn't quite sure where to start with it.

Anyway, it has helped fill the boxes ready for the stall on the 28th.

I think they look OK, not to everyones taste, but I hope they will sell well and if not the charities will have them.
I always get good feedback from them.

Last 5 in afew more days.

Hunkydory Extravaganza

Good Morning All

In my blog candy above, there are some Hunydory sheets included.

Now I have had these for quite a while and decided to use a couple of the topper sheets.

So instead of showing all that I made in one post, I will schedule over the next week or so while I,m in UK.

I am really pleased with how these turned out as I do find it hard to use this sort of thing but as I needed lots of cards for the fair on the 28th Nov I wanted some quicker makes and I made 15 cards in one afternoon.

I have also included some of this lovely A4 embossed card in candy too.

Nearly everything I have used is from my stash, trying to use bits of string, ribbon, paper scraps etc etc.

I even used little scraps of embossed card that were in my drawers.

This flower is Creative Expressions

Perfect Peony, I just love it.

I inked it while still in the die.

More cards to follow in afew days.
