Lots of Tattered lace DT Samples

Well time has run away with me again and I've been neglecting the blog but it's been a crazy couple of months.  This is just a quicky post with some of the samples I've been making for Tattered Lace.  I'll add the die numbers later as it's 2am and I'm still not finished editing stuff lol!

This first lot is using the Scruffy bow, All Laced Up and Severn dies, as always, gorgeous dies and the lovely images are from My Craft Studio Shabby Sweet CD collection, possibly my favourite MCS cd ever!

These samples were made using the new Christmas embossing folders, I got to play with the holly folder collection which is just gorgeous and I definitely need all of them!  The 3 wise men dies are part of the festive collection 2014.

I will try to edit this post later and add supplie list etc.  Next up is my trip to the Summer Crafting show hopefully :)

Happy crafting

Hidden Surprises Tattered Lace Samples

Hiya, today's post is more samples for Tattered Lace, Hidden Surprises Collection, I'm having so much fun being on the sample team for Tattered Lace and My Craft Studio and getting such a buzz out of seeing my samples on TV :)  So exciting!

Again these dies are so stunning, I was a bit busy with hospital and docs appointments as well as shift changes last week so only manage nine samples but could have go on to make more if I had had the time.

I also received my Silhouette Cameo last week, and lucky I had booked a week off work :D  I've been having so much fun using it, I really wish I had bought one earlier!

So here are the samples, I noticed on the show that I have a very different style of card making to the other sample makers which makes me wonder if what I'm making is ok or not lol!  I suppose they wouldn't ask me to make more if it was a problem, but that's what you get for having an inferiority complex lol!

Happy New Year!!

Hi, just a quick post to let you know I haven't fell off the face of the earth lol!

One thing I did want to announce is that I was chosen to be on the design team to make samples for Craft Channel Productions who produce the My Craft Studio and Tattered Lace Dies.  And my cards have been shown on Create & Craft, this is very exciting for me and hopefully will spur me on to do more with my craft this year.

I have had such a busy few months and haven't had time to update on here so I've added links to my FB albums so you can check out my crafty stuff from last year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

First cards of the year

Happy New Year, just a quick update with a few cards, these were all made using MCS World of Watercolour, Catch a Dream and Celestial Horizons. Some of the backgrounds were made using Tim Holtz Distress pads, cardstock is mainly cord'inations, I used plain white 8 x8 card blanks and glossy photo paper to print the images. These are for a customer and will be winging their way to Manilla and Japan :)

Last of the 2011 cards

Firstly I will apologise for the quality of these photos, they were taken on my phone as I was so busy I didn't have time to set my camera up lol!

These are the last of the cards for 2011, roll on 2012 :)

A cute snowman, he folds down to fit into a C6 envelope, I followed the tutorial an Tami Whites Stampin Up blg to make him and just change a few things to make him mine :)



A cute owl in a santa suit, I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder for the chimney and the stampin Up owl punch and tags till Christmas stamp set for the owls outfit, the sentiment is from a Pink Stamper set

This card was one of 25 I made for a customer, Stamped on glossy cardstock and glittered, it looks awful in this photo but I was really pleased with how they looked in RL lol!

A very quick card made using the Nostalgia CD from Joanna Sheen

And lastly the card I made for my Hubby this year(on Christmas morning, how bad is that lol! ) I used a Molly Bloom stamp on Stampin Up cardstock and the lovely glittery striped paper was from the I Believe stack by My Minds Eye.

Happy New Year, I hope it's a healthy and prosperous year for you :)

A tough project

Or not, anyhoo, I found this set of commissioned cards hard to do, I struggled for inspiration. The lady who ordered these is sending them to her sister and family in Japan.

For the first card I made I ended up using a design and colour scheme from a card that the lovely Stampin Up demonstrator, Christine Guile sent me as a thank you. I hope she doesn't mind me pinching her design but the original card was lovely and it's the first time I've done paper tearing and been happy with it. I did change the design to fit a larger card :) Stamps, cardstock, inks and ribbon by Stampin Up, inside designed in MCS.

The second card is a male card, I used a stamp I made with ImagePac a couple of years ago and coloured it with Promarkers, I then cut the name on the Cricut using SCAL2, inside designed in MCS.

The final card is for a 5 year old, I wasn't told the sex of the child so I thought every kid in the world knows who Mickey is and I thought the design was pretty unisex. All cut using the Mickey and Friends and Mickey carts on the Cricut. Apart from the large circle which I cut using a nestibility die.

So yep, a hard order to fill, I hope my customer likes them, I'm quite please with the results.

March Cards

Hiya, happy Spring, hope you are enjoying the sunshine. The weather is chilly and very breezy but sunny this morning and as I have the day off I'm going to enjoy it :)

I've added a link in my blogs I follow section to Valitas blog, she is a Stampin Up demonstrator and a fabulously creative person. I have been watching her videos on You Tube for a while now and love how inventive she is, go check out her blog, she does the most amazing things with punches :)

Well I have failed miserably in keeping my blog up to date again, I've been so busy with work and home I just haven't had any time to do anything for myself lol! I will be glad when all the decorating and mess is over :)

Just a few cards for this month, trying to use up some old stash, so I have Mother's day cards made from some old K&Co papers, more flowers, a boys BD card, a couple of new baby cards and a couple of cards made using the Hunkydory Flutterby kit. Hope you like them :)

Sorry about the awful quality of the photos, one day I might eventually get a proper photo corner set up lol!

Happy Crafting

First card is a commissioned card for a work colleague, this is for her 2nd grandson who was born on Monday :) She was thrilled to bits with it and said she couldn't wait to give it to her daughter.

The images are from The Clip Art Fairy and are on the The Book a Easel & Plaques CD. The welcome baby stamp is from the Punch Bunch Stampin up set, the little hands, duck and bottles are from an old set and I can't remember who it was made by. The sentiment was cut using the Nursery Rhymes cart for the Cricut.

The card is and easel card with a mini book on the base, there is an area for a hand written message, a page for putting the baby's details and then at the back a photo frame to put a piccy in :) The box uses the same sentiment as the card.








Another commissioned card, it must be the season for babies as the lady I made this for was also due to have a baby too :) This was for her sister-in-law who had a gorgeous baby girl :)



Also commissioned, two Mother's day cards for the same lady, both using Hunkydory products, the insides were done in MCS to match.









Cards for my Mum, Step Mum and Mum in law for Mother's day, the gift bags are so easy to make and look beautiful. K&Co papers were used, the images were stamped with memento inks and then just highlighted with a touch of chalk. Link for the tutorial for the bag is by WunsaponaTime







Some more flowers I made, the tutorials for these can be found on Jannavile's channel on You Tube





When I said a few cards I actually meant quite a few lol! I just found some more photos on my phone, although I am missing a photo of a card I made for a work colleague son for his 40th, quite disappointed I didn't take a photo as I was quite pleased with the finished card.

Two more commissioned cards, one using Joanna Sheens, Oriental Treasures CD and the other using a kit from the internet, I can't remember where I got it so will have to have a dig through my files :)
