2 Cards for Friends

Good Morning All

Here is a couple of cards that have been received by the recipients, our friends Andrew and Amanda.

First was Andrew birthday, he is a rally car fanatic but I didn't have a rally car die so the nearest I had was a racing car.

The second one was for their anniversary a couple of weeks ago.

I'd had this quilled heart made for a while, so I used the scraps of corrugated card as a base.

Sprinkled some heart gems on and some paper flowers and one of my bow embellishments.

Very happy with how this turned out.

They loved it too and Amanda told me she keeps all my homemade cards.

Quilled Ballerinas

Good Morning All

Val and I did our last Quilling class at the end of March and this is two cards that I made.

Christine cut the silhouettes out for us to use so the actual quilling was quite quick to do.

I prefer the first one, I think that silhouette is better.

Two quick cards for the box.

The kennels where we got Rico from have started taking some of my cards to raise funds, so very pleased about that.

They have a walking day one  Sunday per month, to raise money, so they will sell them there too.

Be Square for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is Be There or Be Square.

This is an idea that I got from Christine who does the quilling class that Val J and I attended.

This was my practice one but thought it was good enough to make into a card.

Square card blank

Silver square mat

4 square heart embossed pieces, inked edges

And the quilled pied matted onto a square blue card.

One of my bows with a cute Teddy charm.

Quilled Lady

Good Morning All

This is the finished picture I made at my Quilling Class.

Very pleased with it and now need to try and frame it.

It is done with two different shades of orange.

You stick all the shapes onto a piece of acetate then cut the silhouette  of her head and shoulders.

This is two that the lady who runs the class has made.

I think we are going to make the Ballerina in 2 weeks than we have finished.

Crafty Ribbons Inspiration blog s showing some of my makings last night.

Easter for MAWTT

Good Morning All

The Challenge for MAWTT is  Easter.
As some of you know, I have been going to a Quilling class with my crafty friend Val J.
I saw an image of a quilled chick on Pinterest and thought it was very cute.
When I made this card I had just got back from Uk and had bought some of JND goodies from The Ducks Doodahs
One of  the goodies I bought  was Johns Ribbon Threader die, I used afew of them on this one.

Pop over to the challenge blog to enter and see all the other DT work.








***********
Some very sad news.
The bar I hold my craft club in is run by two English guys, a couple.
I may gave mentioned  that one if them was involved in a serious car crash a couple of weeks ago and has since been in a coma.
He died yesterday without ever coming round.
So sorry for his partner.
A very sad situation as the business has to go on.

Quilled Picture

Good Morning All

Here is my quilled picture that I did at a class Val J and I attended.

This is Val's cat.

Another ladies work using lots of colours.

Love this one with lots of flowers on black card.

Excuse the fact that you can see me taking the picture reflected in the glass!!!!

And this is what we are working on next, the lady with the long dress and hopefully, the Ballerina after that.

Quilled heart

Good Morning All

As some of you may know, myself and Val J have been going to a quilling class.

I will show you what we have made in another post but here is  a smaller item.

We are learning how to quill different shapes and make them into a picture, my big project is an elephant.

But here is a heart I  made at home but using the same method of outlining the shape with a quilling strip.

And here is the card I made with it.

I love it.

I used off cuts of corrugated paper Eve gave me at Craft Club.

(I have been making boxes with it for the ladies)

Added one of my bows and some paper roses and leaves.

Random heart gems.

Love it

Quilled Autumn Card

Good Morning All

This is a quilled card I made for a swap in a card group on Facebook.

The theme was Autumn.
The scarecrow card has been in my stash for years but I thought it was very apt for this card.
I hope the quilling looks like corn.
And tied them together with twine.

Quilled Angel

Good Morning All

Another quilled creation today, this is my attempt at an Angel.

*********

A couple more baby pics.  Arabella Louise is the name they have decided on.

She does have a look of her older brother Noah when he was born. 

 I hope she has his dark colouring, he has  beautiful eyes.

She looks a little chunky monkey in these pics.

Looking forward to getting my hands on her in 3 weeks time.

I have a weekly sketch challenge going on on my Facebook page each week HERE

Good fun which I started for my Craft Club and extended to Fb page, anyone can enter and I give a little prize for a winner.  I would love you to join in.

More Teddy

Good morning all
I hope you are all having a good Easter so far.  We wont be doing much, John is still recovering from a bout of gout so is finding it hard to get around, so I think we will be having a quiet weekend.

Todays card is another Teddy and more flowers - quilled (even though you cant see some of the black ones in the bottom right hand corner )

It is mainly Black and White, I just added a pale blue ribbon diagonally across the front to blend in with the blue flowers.  Blue gems and blue pearls on wire from my jewellery stash.  The image is a Forever Friends stamped onto black card and heat embossed with gold powder, then mounted onto pale blue card.

I am entering this into -

Stampin for the Weekend Challenge 7 - Ready Teddy Go
