Anything Goes for Crafty Ribbons

 Good Morning All

I have been using my left over pieces from Crafty Ribbons.

I keep my earphones at the side of my chair and they are always getting tangled.  So I thought I would make these wraps to keep them tidy.

I bought myself a Snap (popper) machine after watching a video using them for closures on folios, so I thought it would come in quite handy.

I cut  a rectangle of felt then used the sewing machine to attached the short piece of ribbon.  Used the snap machine to attach the popper at each end.

Crafty Ribbons have their monthly selection box on sale HERE

MAWTT & Crafty Friends

 Good Morning All

As it is the 1st of the month, a new challenge starts over at Crafty Friends and Moving Along With The Times.

So first I shall show my Crafty Friends make.

The theme is 

Happy Birthday

so a nice easy one.

I have a lovely digi from our sponsor - Hetty Clare and I made my Grandaughters birthday card.

I coloured with Polychromos.

Spotty ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons (link in sidebar)

Here it is with her name added and a number.

I made another card for this challenge too.

A Groovi border Grid plate and Groovi flowers all mounted onto Clarity designer paper.

We do have a sponsor for this challenge - HettyClare

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

Now onto Moving Along With The Times

The theme is 

Spring is Coming

I found this cute image in my stash from Crafters Companion and I thought the Chicks looked cute and they are born in Spring so Spring Chicks.

The sentiments are what I have printed myself.

I added a flower charm.

Feminine for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

The theme for Allsorts Challenge this week is

Feminine

chosen by Ellie.

I made this card for Mum on Mothers day.

It came about because when I am cutting parchment pieces with the Picot dies from Clarity, I have squares of parchment left over, as I always place the die in the middle of the parchment or paper so that it could be used as a mat or border.

So I used the Charles border grid plate and matted onto a piece of Designer paper from Clarity too.

I used one of my favourite plates for the circle centre on pale green parchment.

Added some punched parchment flowers in the corners.

I will add a tag for Mothers Day.

More clearing out

 Good Morning All

Another card today made from clearing out some of my digi stamped images.

This image is from Ruth at Passion for Stamps, not sure if she is still in business.

The emboss folder is Mosaic leaves from Creative Expression.

I think the digi would have been coloured with Promarkers, it has been in my topper box for a good while waiting to be used.

I added a metal filigree corner and ribbon for the sentiment tag.

Here is a card I made using one of the parchment sentiments backed onto card coloured with alcohol inks that I showed on Tuesday,

My latest video on You tube is for a DT  post for Minxy Studios UK.

This one is using her Tag bases, great to decorate or collage and can be used for cards too.

All links are on video.

Paints and Oxides for backgrounds

 Good Morning All

I have been sorting my photo file out and this is an oldie that I dont think I have posted.

Playing around with  paints to make backgrounds.

Stamped with Archival ink, a Penny Black stamp.

Abit of fun playing with paints and Oxides

Afew papers I will use for journals or backgrounds, playing with Oxides.

Here are some playing with Alcohol inks

I used some of them for  backing parchment sentiments.

Alot cheaper than buying designer papers!!

Liz from my local Craft shop gave me a large Hearts Groovi plate for Christmas and here is a card I made for some lovely friends that recently got married.  

I should have added the names down the side but once started, I had to finish.

Showcase 2 colours for Crafty Ribbons

 Good Morning All

Crafty Ribbons time for me again and we are having a showcase of using 2 colours.

I went with pink and blue as I wanted to show this beautiful ribbon available in store HERE

There are some lovely colours  and it has a lovely picot edge, not too thick, so ties into a lovely bow.

I made a frame with mine and found some parchment flowers to match the colours perfectly.

I love it and will deffo be buying some more.

A Mix

 Good Morning All

A mixture to show you today.

On the weekends we very often get given freebies on Facebook within the groups we are in.  The first is from JaneyB Journals and Jane gave a couple of sheets of images and sets the challenge to show what we can make with them.

Here are the two sheets she gave out on Saturday, 2 A4 sheets.

And here is what I made.

First a triple flip tag for a Journal

Then  with the pieces left I made two Birthday cards.

Next, Gi Kerr from Happiness in Crafting gives a Friday Freebie every week and this week as her ink had gone in the printer so  the sheet was Black & White but still gorgeous.

I laminated it on one side and made a triple fold notebook folio for the charity box in the shop.

This is the inside showing two side pockets and I made little notebooks to go in those too.

I trimmed with lace and added decorated paperclips.

Then stuck some words on from one of Gi's kits.

I love it, infact I made two.

It is well worth being a member of the groups.
