Blooming Basket...

I've managed to make a card....yipppeee...having been away from craft so quite a long time its taking me ages to get any of my mojo back but its a start.....

A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to win a raffle prize at one of Jill's crafting days (Jill stamps up blog) the lovely stamp set called Blooming Basket also came with a great Basket weave embossing folder and although you can't see much of the embossing fold on this card I'm sure I will be using both the stamp set and the embossing folder a lot more. the little butterfly is from a retired SU butterfly die .....

My health I am happy to say is so much better now with all the new medication and hoping to improve even more as time goes on...

Eclipse Birthday card,,,,

 

Its been a long time since I've actually posted or made a card....still having health issues but I am feeling better than I was....

I've found it so hard to get back into my craft room after such a long time away from it but having to make a card for a friend hopefully has got my mojo back a little bit...

Sorry about the photograph not being straight...

The background paper I had in my stash and just stamped leaves directly onto the paper before using my large 5cm letter dies (which I got off a that well known auction site very cheap )..the leaves were cut from scraps of left over alcohol ink paper..so a very quick and easy card to make....I think I will be using my new 5cm alphabet dies a lot.

Hope to start visiting some of your blogs as well to see what you've been up to... 

Thanks for popping by

3D embossing & Rub on Wax

 

Its been a long time since I last blogged due to being poorly  I am slowly now getting there..

I've struggled to get back into my craft room and my mojo seems to have left me but as we have club night this week so I needed to do some samples and this is one of them.

Using Crafters Companion 3D English Rose embossing folder I've used some Gare Luster rub ons which are wax based.... with these Gare rub ons they work beautifully with dark card paricularly black and brown.

I would like to also wish you all a belated Happy and Healthly New Year

 I’ve not posted since end of October because of being unwell  but I’m certainly on the mend now and will be back in the New Year....

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas

Stampin Up Christmas Extravaganza day...

 What a fabulous day I had yesterday at Jenny's (stamping  moments)Stampin Up  Christmas Extravaganza day....we made some great projects and my favourite one was this beautiful framed scene we created  from the Hometown Greetings thinlits set  we also added some LED lights which turned it into a fabulous night scene...

This picture of the LED lights on isn't very good as I took it today in my craftroom when it was light...but you can see the effect its gorgeous and I certainly want to make more...

We also made a selection of cards using the Merry Mistletoe set which we were given...

Lovely winter scene using trees from the set and some beautiful glitter card

I really enjoyed making this clothes peg wreath and found it very relaxing sticking all the DSP on (both sides) ..and it means if I make another one I can use up all my odd bits of Christmas DSP...we added the reindeer from our Merry Mistletoe set....

 

Just loved Christmas card using more of the SU thinlit dies.....I'm afraid I was tempted and did give in to buying the Hometown greetings thinlits set...

 

This was the lovely table give we all had....

Sorry my photographs aren't that good but I took them on my mobile phone  wanted to share them with you today....

Thank you Jenny for giving us such a great crafting day once again...

Thinking of you....

 

Hello crafty friends ....It's been a while since my last post...we've been away and also I've just been really busy no time for crafting but I needed to made a really quick card for a male neighbour who is very poorly at the moment...a very difficult card to make so I've just kept it very simple using a Hunkydory topper and just added the ivy die to take the plainess off, sorry about the awful photograph but it was a card that needed to be made very quickly and it was something to post of my blog!

I've got a craft fair in a couple of weeks so I must try and make a few more things for that...I'm busy sewing advent calendars at the moment.

I do try a pop along a look at your blogs in the evenings but apologies for my blogging friends who I haven't visited for a while... Once November is over things should quiten down...then I need to make crack on with some Christmas cards...talk about leaving it to the last minute...

Cookie Cutter Christmas...

I am still trying to be good and getting rid of some of my crafty bits (which I have done!)...but I have a lot of small bits of DSP and card so when I recently had a SU party I bought the Cookie Cutter Christmas set which is ideal to pop onto small cards...

 

I've only managed to make a couple of cards this afternoon but thats a start...thought I would give some of these small cards to my grandchildren to give their friends at Christmas..I am sure they would also like to make some of these cards themselves..

Thanks for stopping by..
