Parents to Be Box Card

Good Morning All

A neighbour / friend asked me to make a card for her Daughter and Son In Law, as they had just found out they were going to be parents for the first time.

I wanted to make something really special as I knew it would be a Keepsake for them.

I decided to go with a box card as they are so easy to make and yet look so wonderful.

On the two side flaps I put a sentiment for the Proud Parents To Be.

Then just added lots of embellishments for the popup bits - flowers, balloons, presents etc etc.

Marlene was very very pleased with it and I hope her Daughter is too.

Good Morning All

A little Candy on offer today.  One reason is because I have not had any for a long time and the second reason is that I,m going to be a  Nanna again in April.

Hollie is going to have a brother or sister.

I have pulled together a selection of papers, card and gems and will add some ribbon.
And, of course, some beads pins similar to the ones in the sidebar.
It has just dawned on me that I will have to post out the Bead Pins when I get back to Spain as I cannot take through airport as I am only taking hand luggage with me to UK.

Includes:

2 Vellum A4, 2 printed bird papers A4, 5 gorgeous  Embossed card A4,

8 Pretty Handmade sheets A4, 3 Hunkydory sheets, 8 Flippin' kids sheets,

Lots of assorted gems and I will add in a selection of ribbons.

Update - Now added lots of assorted ribbon and die cuts tags.

Usual rules apply -  be a follower, add to your sidebar and leave me a comment.

How to add to your sidebar - have a look HERE

Once you have done it , it is easy.

I shall randomly pick a winner on 27th November and I will bring with me to Uk to post on 30th.

Have a good day.

Give Thanks at MAWTT

Good Morning All

It is Thanksgiving in USA so the theme at Moving Along With The Times is 'Give Thanks'.

I have used loads of bits that had been lying around my desk.
 (This was made before my big clean up!!!)

Whenever I do die cutting of corners or leaves or flowers etc, I always cut extras and keep them in boxes for future use, so I really do need to use them up.

A piece of diamond embossed card which I rubbed with a copper gilding wax.

The topper is from an LOTV pad, mounted on a doily.
Creative Expressions Cosmic Shimmer dotted about too.

I,m quite pleased with how this has turned out.

Pop over to the challenge blog to see all the other DT creations.

I would like to wish my gorgeous Grandson Happy Birthday and cant wait to see him next week.
And my Crafty Friend Lyn Happy Birthday too.

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.

More than 3 Dies for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and I am hosting this one.

I want people to use more than 3 die cuts on their creations which isn't too hard.

I cut a mat in red card and covered with a die cut from Sissix 'Iron Gate'.

The 25th Dec is a die cut that I cut in my craft meet, not sure whose it is sorry.

The poinsettias are a Leanne die cut and the tutorial for these is on the top of my blog.

And finally the circle sentiment  from Netty is stuck onto a S/B circle die cut.

Finally added a ribbon bow with 2 of my bead pins which I still have for sale in sidebar.

Sponsor this week is

Sissix

    

Why not pop and join in with this one.

Man card

Good Morning All

Keeping busy as I have a Craft Fair coming up on the 28th.   and MIL aarrive that evening too to keep OH company while I am in UK for 12 days.

The Fair is being held at the local English bar where we have our craft and slimming meetings.

It is very small fair  but I hope it goes OK. 

 Having to fill my boxes with 'man' cards, 'Sympathy' and Get Well. 

My Ladies box is always full as that is the type of card I prefer to make, with lots of flowers and pretty things.

This is the type of quick card I have been making.

I  know it sounds awful, but I dont go to alot of time and trouble as I sell them so cheap, 5 euro for 7 cards,

Still trying to use up a load of old stash too, including Peeloffs !!!!

The fair is in aid of our village, for the folks that have no job, so no income at all.
