Crafty Ribbons welcome Fiskars

Good morning All

Fiskars have joined forces with us for this month and we were sent a punch and some amazing scissors to work with.
These are the scissors. 

The scissors are super sharp and fold away, so neat.

For my card I used this wonderful ribbon from Crafty Ribbons shop HERE

I punched the little bees out from orange paper and coloured them with Promarkers (well I added stripes)

Used a decoupage topper I had in my stash and tucked it just under the edge of the Pebble ribbon

I found a sentiment that fitted perfectly that was a freebie in a magazine.

I coloured white seam binding from the shop with the same Promarker to add to the tag.

Although the seam binding is available in many colours, you can always colour it if you want to match an exact shade.

If you do Facebook, pop onto Crafty Ribbons page.

Happy Birthday Val J

Good Morning All

I just wanted to show you this card I made for my friend Val J.

It was her birthday on 14th Feb and  here is the personalised card I made for her.

I used Groovi Circles, I hope she liked it as I know she is not a great fan of Groovi.

This is what I like about Groovi, I am able to personalise with both sentiments and names.

I matted the circles onto brown embossed card with lovely pearl brads.

I added pink seam binding from Crafty Ribbons to add a tiny tag sentiment and pink lace too.

Happy Sunday

Good Morning All

As this goes live we will have arrived in UK as Johns Mum is not too good.

*****************

Here is my card for this week, maybe longer as we are not sure how long we will be away.

USE YOUR SCRAPS

I would like to see your background made from scraps.

This is odd scraps of card left on my desk.

And I even cut some butterflies out of them before I glued them down, from the parts that wont be seen!!!

And a second card, again using nice pieces of card that are not big enough for a whole mat.

***********************

These are the gifts I gave out on Friday,  a tube of Murray Mints in a pretty box.

 Decorated with ribbon and a dangle charm.

Any Season for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is hosted by Tracy Mouse.

She would like to see any of the four seasons.

I chose Summer as this sweet Paintbox Poppet topper just shouted out summer days to me.

I cut an Oval with Clarity Picot Oval die then stamped it with a sentiment and  foliage from JND Butterfly Frames stamp set.

Then I found the sweet seashell charm.

All matted onto Wild Roses embossed card and Gilding polish card.

I think most of us went off with our fishing nets, looking for crabs when we went to the beach.

I have two family birthdays today so this card will have been sent off for one of those.

This is the prize on offer this week.

Happy day

Good Morning All

We had a lovely day on Sunday.

I didn't  know it but it was a birthday of a lady here on holiday. We meet up with Helen and Paul when they come over, they have a house here in the village.

They are coming to live here permanently  in August  so we will see more of them .

You know when you just hit it off with someone, well I'm like that with Helen, she is lovely.

Anyway, she became a grandmother for the first time 4 weeks ago so I gave her a card and a pram blanket I had crocheted.

This is the card, a sweet rocking horse Groovi image.

I used the same plate to make my grandaughter birthday card for next week.

This was done on coloured parchment so it stands out more.

One of my Craft Club ladies saw this card and her grandaughter has the same name so she made the same card at club last week.

I now have another convert to Groovi in my club.

Spring Flowers for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Spring Flowers for Allsorts this week hosted by Me.
Or rather should have been me but I completely forgot so Brenda has stepped in for me, my apologies. 

I always associate Daffodils with Spring.

I used to love seeing them grow along the side of the road, all different shades of yellow and cream.

I made two cards using the same decoupage set.
I cant even tell you how long I have had this in my stash.  I think someone gave it to me and they had got it from Create & Craft.

Papers were all free in a magazine .

This one, I added an organza bow and a charm.
Homemade sentiment tag using JND stamps

I found a frame I had cut a while ago too and thought this would look good.


Brenda is giving a prize of.................

Two more

Good Morning All

Here are my other two decoupage images from the same sheet as yesterday.

Same but different

Good Morning All

As you know, whenever I go away I always take some sort of crafting to do, very often, scissors and decoupage.  Then when I get home they go in my 'Topper' box.

Wwell I have been trying to use afew and here they are and a couple more tomorrow.

The decoupage is all off one sheet and some are quite small.

So I used quite strong paper for the small ones.

I will show a couple more tomorrow.
