Good Morning All

Today I fly back to Spain after a wonderful visit with family and catching up with lots of friends.

Another weave card today.  I cut all the strips and then glue them all together while I 'm watching TV at night.

I do love the effect of this weaving and am very happy with this card.

Another Weave card

Good Morning All

Here is another card featuring the weaving I first did HERE.

I just added lots of bits from my stash, butterflies, flowers and gems.  Two colours of 1/4" card strips weaved behind a negative die cut of Nellie Snellen Scalloped Square.

Weaving

Good morning All

Since watching Sue Wilson and her Weaving dies on C&C the other day, I thought I would try doing it without a die, not as detailed but quite good I think and at very little cost !!!!

 I dont know about you, but when I watch C&C I really DO WANT the products but can't afford them, so now I have got to think to myself, 'do I really need them?'

No I dont is the answer.  So I made do with figuring a way to do this without the die, and afew people have said that this die is quite complicated to use so this is what I figured out.

 I cut white card at 1/2" and coloured card at 1.4" and stuck them together as shown.


Then I cut an aperture in an A5 card and weaved the strips behind it as the pic below shows.

And this is the result which I am very pleased with.

My bead pins with a homemade tassle (I made quite afew of these the other night and am very pleased with them too), homemade quilled flowers and the leaf die I borrowed from Val at craft meet, and an acetate sentiment.

What do you think?

Here is afew pics when we went on the Tapas Run yesterday, that provide a little train that passes all the bars taking part.

We only managed to visit 4 bars before it ended at 4pm but a good time was had by all.
And a couple of friends flew in from Belfast so they were able to join us too.
Great fun.
