Winter Sweater

 

I've really enjoyed playing with this lovely die set its the Winter Sweater set from Elizabeth Crafts...again I've been able to use up scaps of DSP as my cards are only 4" x 4"...

 

Think I will have to work on the rendeers antlers a bit more but they were a bit fiddly to put on and not always in the right place!....

I had a lovely day yesterday with 3 crafty friends we went to the Shepton Mallet Crafts4Crafters show..as we all  knit and do patchwork as well as crafting it wasn't difficult to spend our  money...

Have a great weekend whatever you are doing..the weather is certainly lovely at the moment may it continue...

Making cards from Scraps and snippets...

Last night was our club night and we used scraps of paper and card to create new cards...as crafter we never throw anything away....

 

Theres no right or wrong way to use scaps on some cards I've left spaces between placing scraps down on this card I've just butted them up together.

 

 

When you have lots of Christmas cards to make sometimes you want something thats very quick and easy to make and this Christmas tree card certainly was quick.

                              Another bright card using strips of DSP....

 

I'got lots of tiny LOTV images left over from packs I've bought in the past but they looked great placed in the centre of another scrap card...

There are more cards but I think thats enough....hope its given you a few ideas/

Mermaid.....

 

Many years ago before all the craft shops popped up I used to used fabric to make cards with and this was some of the fabric, ...the fabric is glued onto the card then cut out.  The background is alcohol inks on acetate with tissue paper, glitter and crystal lacquer, we did it a few years ago at our club night  its very effective and fun to do...the photograph doesnt do it justice as it is very sparkly...the die is a willow branch die I found on the net unbranded....

Hope you all have a good weekend

Christmas card...

 

I've made a start on my Christmas cards...at club this month we are using up scraps of DSP paper to make cards so I made this Christmas card using the Herringbone technique...will post more samples next week on club day...

Sorry the photograph isn't brilliant to you can see the idea.

The weather has certainly turned chilly so time to get out the 'woollies'

Basket full of Posies.....

 

A couple of new dies fell through my letter box over the past few days, one being the little basket which is an unbranded die I found on the net and the other dies were Tattered Lace Nested Lace Rectangles...just made up a quick card before I go off and have my second cataract procedure done tonight.
The basket is brown and gold but doesn't gold doesn't photograph very well.

Thanks for stopping by..

Club night 6" x 6" projects

 Wednesday evening was our Club night and the projects were things made from a piece of 6" x 6" DSP...the girls had lots of ideas to choose from..these are just a few of the samples...

                             These little boxes are useful for small gifts...

These little crackers I think are super either for the Christmass tree or even and table decorations....there are lots more ideas out there on the web so why not have a play..

Birthday Wishes

 

 I haven't done any decoupage for a long time...this pretty fuchsia image  wa given to me by my lovely friend Gill....not sure where they came from but it also has matching backing paper.

Hope you are all having a good weekend...
