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

Windmills and Bull Rushes

So we seem to be having a beautiful spring so far, it's been gorgeous today and as I've had a day off I nipped to town and picked up some gorgeous laces from the local market.  Sat outside the cafe and had my lunch and soaked up some rays, much need this week as I have had a really bad fybro flare up and it's made me so ill!

Anyway, speaking of spring the card I'm posting todays is perfect for a spring card, it is an order for a customer and they asked if I could do a box card with a windmill.  Hmmm... I said, what's a box card lol!  Anyhoo after doing a bit of research on pinterest and google, I messed about in Silhouette Studio and came up with a box card, which I used for the Days Out sample here.  I then had to come up with a windmill design and this was the fun part, I totally designed the windmill from scratch in PaintShop Pro, Inkscape and Silhouette Studio, I even made tiny mill stones and a picket fence to go with it and I was thrilled with how it came out.  I just love this card, I hope the recipient loves it too :)

I'm hoping to get the cut files up in my shop, I've got a bit of tweaking to do but they should be up by next weekend.
