THE EMBOSSED LOOK

Hi all

 

Have you all had a good weekend?  It has been a busy crafty one for me.  I now have a parcel all made up ready for mailing and also several cards ready to photograph.  I am gradually getting up to date and working well ahead too.

 

Here I have another card using oen of the Hobby House toppers created by Sylvia Zet.  I just love these! I opted to make an embossed card this time.   I have found  that if I am not sure which paper to use (and you know how we dither at times!) the answer is to get out the embossing folders instead!

Sorry about the Photograph, it seems to be anything but straight!  It looks like I was tipsy when I took this one Haha.  ( I wasn't honestly! lol)

  

I used Cheery Lynn and Joy/Noor diesfrom Noor Desigis UK ,

The embellishments are from Live and Love Crafts

Anything else came from my stash.

KRAFTYHANDS BLOG POST

Hi everyone,

It is my turn today to post on the Blog at  Kraftyhands found here   Don't forget too that there is a lovely challenge each month.  It would be lovely to see you all joining in.

I have a photo to share of a gift bag I made using the lovely Dutch Doobadoo A4 gift bag template.  This is simply cut from one A4 sheet of card.  ( Found here)  I find these so easy to use and quite addictive!

I have used the lovely 'Kew' papers from Kraftyhands shop  I think these have to be one of my favourite packs of papers!  The heart die is from Noor Designs UK  and I layered a smaller heart die-cut using the same papers onto the fancy heart die-cut.  You will see that lace has been used for the handle.  I like this better than the handle on the template to be honest.

The embellishments are from Live and Love Crafts and as always anything else is from my stash.

Thanks for looking today everyone, and I hope you have a lovely day,

SYLVIA ZET - Hobby House toppers

Hi all

I think it is about time I shared a photo of a card I have made.  This is one of the cards I made to take to the Craft Fairs in the Summer.  I must say I loved creating the celebration makes!  The images created by Sylvia Zet are just perfect for this type of card and the fact that they also come in the form of Hobby House Toppers which are already coloured is just the icing on the cake!

 

The papers and from LOTV

I used Cheery Lynn and Joy/Noor diesfrom Noor Desigis UK ,

The Frantage and embellishments are from Live and Love Crafts

Anything else came from my stash.

DUTCH DOOBADOO Gift bag template at Noor

Hi all

Today is gift bag day!  Well it is for me anyway.  This little gift bag was made using this fabulous template by Dutch Doobadoo from Noor Designs UK.  It is made using one sheet of A4 card BUT on this occasion I took the same shape and design but cut it down slightly to make a smaller gift bag.  I had a good reason for doing this - I wish I could remember what it was! lol

 

The Joy papers are from Noor Designs UK and the embellishments are from  my stash.  You will see I did not bother using the handles on the template.  I replaced this with lace making my own handles and must say I love the effect.

KRAFTYHANDS April CHALLENGE - 'Nature's Work'

Hi everyone,

I have a DT card to share today which I have made for the Challenge at Kraftyhands which is themed 'Nature's Work'. 

Well, I delved into the gorgeous 'English Country Garden' pack of postcard toppers from Kraftyhands online shop.  I cannot tell you enough how I love this set and to be honest I was spoilt for choice for this theme as to which to use.  I mean, 'Nature's work'?  Well, I imediately thought of the flowers, butterflies etc.  For this card I opted to go for the embossed look.

The border dies are Tim Holtz. The embellishments were from Live and Love Crafts and anythng else came from my stash.

 

I do hope you have time to pop over and take a look at the very talented Design Team's work on the Kraftyhands  blog.  It is a fabulous Challenge, it would be great if you could join in.

As always, thanks for looking, and have a great day!

NOOR DESIGNS UK APRIL CHALLENGE - Anything Goes

Hi all
 

Happy Easter to you all!  I hope you are having a smashing time.

 

I am just bobbin through with a card I made using the lovely teapot template from Dutch Doobadoo.  This was purchased from Tracy at Noor Designs U K 

 

These are the links to two of the shops I use:

Live and Love Crafts (gorgeous papers and embellishments)

Noor Designs UK ( fabulous dies, papers, and the great Dutch Doobadoo range too)

Unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the stamped image used for the focal point.  This lovely circle topper was stamped and coloured by a friend of mine some time ago.  It is so precious, I have been waiting for the right moment to use it.  I think it goes perfect with this shape.

 

It goes without saying that I just love the Dutch Doobadoo range andas I have said before the templates are brilliant and easy to use. 

Most of the embellishments are from Live and Love Crafts.

I would like to enter this into the 'Anything Goes Challenge at  Noor Designs UK

TUSSIE MUSSIE NO 5

Morning all 

Yes it is another Tussie Mussie!  I think I am almost there now.  I could just have one left which I have not posted on my Blog yet.

For this one I again started off with an 8 inch square of paper. 

 I used papers from my stash and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and good old Wilko.  It will come as no surprise to hear that the lace and other bits and pieces were from my stash.

Thanks for looking today,
