Bitty Blossoms

Good Morning All
We had a lovely evening last night, a BBQ with neighbours, lots of chat and food and drink.  We used to do this every Saturday last year but our friend had an accident with a chip pan in December and badly burnt his chest so he is not as comfortable with a shirt on and is still in alot of pain.  It was lovely to do it again, great fun.
Todays card is to show you the flowers made with my new Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms dies using felt.

A6 card blank
2 frames cut from Nellie Snellen dies MFD600
Sentiment printed on computer
Margaret Sherry Teddy transfer (I am trying to use old stuff and I have had these for years)
Flowers and leaves cut from felt bought from The Range in UK
I now have a box of these flowers in loads of different colours so no doubt you will be seeing alot more of them.

Teddy Baby

Good Afternoon All
I am having a great day making cards.  I couldn,t sleep last night and was up at 3am until 6am in my craft room making cards for a commission for first time grand parents, so I thought I may aswell get cracking and make two to give her a choice.  This is the first one and, I think, the cutest.

 

 

I used a 12 x 36cm cream card scored at 12cm intervals and cut diagonally on each front
Everything is from stash except for the Forever Friends Baby Stamp which I bought on sale in UK.
I highlighted the shawl with Stickles
I think it,s pretty cute

Good Evening All
Tell me what you think of this flower.  I saw this tutorial on Christinas website---
 Card Making Magic.com, how to make lovely flowers from organza using a heat gun.  I bought a large reel of maroon ribbon, about 5" wide and it has flocking on it (if you know what I mean) but it still worked with the same method.  I didn,t use aSpellbinder to cut out the circles  though, I just used fancy scissors and cut a rough circle.

I used a 5x7 card blank
Red paper to mat
White card embossed with Darice embossing folder in Cuttlebug
Happy Birthday stamp with chalked edges
Tiny red roses Ebay
Swirly gems from Zsa Creative (I won)
Homemade bead ornament twirl

Please let me know what you think. 
I am going now to play with my new Spellbinder Bitty Blossoms die and I am going to try them on felt. I will show you tomorrow what they turn out like.

Good Morning All
It is great to be home and back with John and in my craftroom.  I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the UK with Hollie Anais and with my sister and the rest of the family, but it is always nice to get home.
Todays card is a fairly simple one made with stuff that was in the May Goodie Bag from Docrafts, and then I simply added a sentiment tag  and a butterfly (peeloff stuck onto acetate and cut out)

Good Morning All
Time for challenge # 30 at Love to Create Challenge and the theme is 'Make your own Flowers' and does that suit me or not, as you know, I just love making flowers so I have gone to town on this one. 
We are sponsored by 2 companies for this week - Crafty Sentiments and Pink Gem Designs

I  have used a Crafty Sentiments image called Suzette and I mistakenly printed her out on the small side but I thought I would not waste her and decided to make a window frame card (tutorial for this on post dated 19th July 2012).  Decorated it up with lots of different typs of flowers, sentiment circle is freebie from Jak Heaths  blog.  Silver Butterflies punched from waste of Dufex decoupage sheet and pink butterfly is a freebie from The Lilac Garden site, this is a wonderful site and Audrey is so talented and kind.

Have fun with this challenge as I know alot of you love to make your own flowers too.
