One Earth for River of Creativity

 Good Morning All

River of Creativity Challenge this month is

One Earth

Wow, I really wasnt to sure how to interpret this one then I remembered that I had an Earth die in my box at the Craft Shop.

The backing is from a Birthday card that Lorien and Ricky sent to me so I stuck the Earth over what was stuck there and matted the whole lot onto blue card.

Added a sentiment tag and some garden string and thats it.

I really like how it turned out.

Stick Pins

 Good Morning All

I am still making stick pins aswell as other things.

I have them in my Etsy shop for sale HERE

They are packed in a nice little booklet with a felt insert.

If any of you are interested I will do a better deal than on Etsy for you.

I have a Groovi class this afternoon and this is what we will be doing, glittering the parchment like on these cards.

I think the ladies will enjoy doing this.

Thanks for visiting

Summer for MAWTT & Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

As it is the 1st of the month, it is Moving Along With The Times Challenge and I chose the theme of

Summer Fun / Colours

I went with Colours.

I made this background with Oxide inks then I used a Stencil to get the Sunburst effect.

I stamped the butterflies in Black and just coloured one with gold paint.

Now onto my Sunday challenge for the Craft Club ladies and you.

I will use the card above and make the theme

AG for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this time is hosted by Mervi and her theme is

Anything Goes with option of Roses

I made this lovely shaped card which folds flat for posting.

It came about because a friend of mine hosts a card class at the craft shop and she comes up with some amazing cards. She made this one and left it in the shop and one of my craft group liked it and asked me if I could make one and show them how to make it.

So off I trotted to You Tube and found a fab tutorial HERE

This is my version and I did use some papers that had Roses on too.

I'm really pleased with it and it is very easy too.

This is the 1st one I made to try out the design.

Another Tag Recycled into a Card

 Good Morning All

This is the last of the tags I have repurposed into a card to go in the Charity box at the shop.

I used the Gingham ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and papers from Minxy Studio UK.

I have already shown this card on Crafty Ribbons page on Facebook as part of their Showcase week last week,  so some of you may have seen it there.

Recycling Birthday Cards

Good Morning All

Way back in May, I received some wonderful cards for my Birthday and alot were handmade.

So I have recycled them to go in the charity box at the Craft Shop, I checked with the ladies first. 

I think you will agree that there are some lovely  cards there which I cannot throw out so we may aswell get some good from them and raise some money for the dog rescue centre.

It's A Wrap

 Good Morning All

I bought the Groovi Wrap plates a good while ago and have hardly used them.

I didn't want to make an envelope or wrap though, so I made it into a card for my best friends Birthday.

I added lots of gems and pearls to the scalloped border.

This is inside when you open the flap

I mounted it onto pink card then onto a DL card blank.
