More Iris Folding

Good Morning All

Here are another couple of Iris Folded cards using the same set I was given.
I think the flower pot is very pretty.

 The same as the the other day but more colours.

I have added sentiments since making these and are now either in the bar for sale or in the charity box.

Stamped Poinsettias

Good Morning All

Afew Christmas cards I made a while ago using Creative Expressions Poinsettia die and stamps.

Once again I pulled afew bits out ont my desk - paper, die cut sentiments,  a stamp and, of course the Poinsettias.

This die cut leaf swirl I have had for ages, I think someone sent it to me.

I coloured it from pale mint green to a darker green with Gilding Polish.

I used two strips of paper from a 12x12 sheet.

( the sheet had strip of pattern)

I added a  large pearl in the centre of Poinsettia.

This I made landscape.

Added some glitter glue to the leaves.

Stamped the sentiment, same as the first one.

****

The last one is a Creative Expressions sentiment die

More Poinsettias in afew days.

Hair Bows for Hollie

Good Morning All

I have been following a lady on You Tube HERE, she makes some amazing creations with ribbon.

So here is my try at a couple, made into hair bobbles for Hollie ready for her to go back to school.

I got the gems a bit wonky on this one.

Attach each to an elastic.

This is the stuff I used to cut up for the gems.

I'm getting a little parcel together for her to open before she goes back to school in September.

Here is a pic of  her on her last day in July, dress up day.

Pirate Princess of the Caribbean.

Tunnel Card

Good Morning All

I was watching Hochanda and I think it was Crafters Companion, that was showing these style of card.

I,m sure they were using a die but I tried it on my own.

Hard to get a good pic as it was reflecting on the acetate.

The picture of Santa is from a 12x12 sheet with 4 on.

Then I added the acetate with the Santa Sleigh on into the middle fold.

Cut the front with CE Pierced Rectangles.

Using up some old sentiments and Christmas bits.

Sorry you can see the flash on these but it was actually raining on the day I took them as these were made last week.

I really enjoyed making the flowers as, once again, it is something I can do while watching TV at night.

Glassine bags completed

Good Morning All

On 1st August I showed the Glassine bags I had made for a swap HERE.

Well here they are completed, filled with goodies for my partner to enjoy.

I really enjoyed making these and it was a new venture for me.

They are now parcelled up ready to post today.
*******
My parcel from Sheetal, a swap for Bag and 6 embellishments HERE, included a gorgeous Quilled card.
Well it inspired me to get my
 quilling stuff out and have another go so you may well be bombarded soon!!!!
I made quite afew cards very early this morning as I was awake at 3.30 and couldn't get back to sleep, so up I get and go into my craft room.
I should really have done some housework, but Heyho, lets forget about that!!!!!
The trouble is, I think, when it is so hot, we dont really get any walking done so it is really affecting my sleep.  We went for  a short walk last night to take the recycling and ended up in the bar with friends for 2 hours!!!!
I shall have to start swimming again early in the mornings, pool gets too busy later as as there are alot here on holiday, it gets sooooo busy during August.
Enjoy your day.

I used one of the Handbags I made a HERE.

 I made a card, sort of Shabby Chic

 and made a box for it too this is the lid.

Then the embellishments included lots of my  ribbon flowers, bows, Stick Pins, Butterflies etc etc etc

which you have all seen before so I did not photograph them..

I did two swaps as we were a partner short for one of the ladies but they both got very similar.
