Washi Day Fun

Good Morning all! Happy Saturday!

It's a beautiful morning here!

I thought I'd share a little card I made using Washi Tape

Quick & simple, but I love it!

I used a Linen Embossed Card-stock A6 base.

The sentiment is printed in Enviro Font

I added few little fabric flowers from my stash.

The centre of the flowers is Card Candi.

Finally, some torn Washi Tape to finish with!

Thanks for popping in, I hope you like it!!

Christmas Wishes

Hi everyone!

Where does the time go?

It's been great fun creating all sorts of goodies!

Here's one of the little cards I've done!

A little dottie CAS Christmas card.

The topper & setiment are both by Papermania.

I've mounted them on some foam tape for added dimension.

A few little gems added for lights on the tree & to

the sides of the sentiment. Cute isn't it!

Hi all, I'm back with my second post today!

This is the DT Project I made using a

Delicious Doodles image, for the new NOT A Card challenge at

The Crafting Cafe! 

I used Teri's fantastic Bark At The Moon image to decorate a candle!

I didn't have a lot of time but I really wanted to do this!

I printed the image on to tissue paper, put on to the candle then 

wrapped with greaseproof paper & heat set it!

Next I added some black Jaipur Lace from my stash et voila!

I packaged the candle in gusseted bag with a card backing using a couple of glue dots 

to keep it in place & added a little ribbon & a matching gift tag.

I hope you like it,

Don't forget to play along at The Crafting Cafe!

Not A Card

Good Morning all!

It's Saturday! Yay!!!

Were you all bothered with Ghosts & Ghouls last night?

I locked my door & put out the lights & watched a movie!

Mwuhahaha!
Actully, I was ready but no one came to the door!
The kids on our street are all grown up now!

Anyhoo, being the 1st of the month, we have a brand new challenge over at

The Crafting Cafe

There are two brilliant sponsors this month!

Delicious Doodles & Artbymiran

Our theme this month is

NOT A Card

Here's my Artbymiran project!

A little wine bottle topper with a pocket on the front.

I did intend to put something in there but hey ho, or ho ho ho lol!

The image I have used is Christmas Elf, I love this little guy!

I coloured him up with a mix of promarkers & flexmarkers,

fussy cut him  & added him to the little wine bottle topper.

(I found the file in the Sihouette store)

I added a few little self adhesive gem stars too!

Closer look at the  little cutie!

View from the side to let you see the pocket!

The sentiment was printed out, then die cut & threaded with

 two colors of ribbon which were knotted at each end.

I hope you like it!

I also hope you can play in the challenge & make something 

other than a card for a change!

I must apologise for not having a Delicious Doodles project yet but life got in the way!

It will be blogged soon so watch this space!

Thanks for stopping by!

Pretty - Petticoats Three

Good morning all!

It's Thursday once again & almost the weekend!

So, it's time for my Just Inklined card for this week!

The image is one of my favourite favourites

Petticoats Three

I used a shaped card blank from Craftwork Cards as the base then

paper from the First Edition "Bo Ho Chic" pad.

I felt it had a vintagey shabby chic feel to it.

I changed the colour of the image in word, then

shaded with a "Linen" Flexmarker. It doesn't show up too well

in the photo but I wanted to keep the colour muted.

The image is matted on to the reverse of the DP

The sentiment is one I've had forever & was from Sentiments 4 You

I added a panel of DP which was edged with a Martha Stewart

 Doily Punch. I added some button twine, lace, flowers & a big

vintage button from my stash!

The inside of the card is decorated too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Good morning all!

The Card I have to share with you today is  a quick & simple CAS card 

This one was made using an A6  Kraft base, with a rounded corner,

  a Papermania Topper & some Washi Tape!
I used this great sketch


from STAMPlorations as the inspiration for the design of my card!
(sadly though, I can't enter their challenge as I haven't used a stamp)

I distressed the edges of the topper with a pair of scissors,

then lightly inked the edges with a liquid chalk inkpad

I thenmounted it on some foam tape for a bit of dimension

The inside of the card was decorated in a similar fashion.

Thanks for popping in!

Albert

Good morning lovelies,

It's Thursday again which means it's time for my

 Just Inklined card for this week.

I used the wonderful Albert to make an Anniversary card this time!

He's such a sweetie but I can see him as a bit of a Hell's Angel

in his younger days!

I opted for a Monochromatic theme for this card.

The papers I've used are from the Male Craft Pad from

Southfield Stationers

This sketch from The Sketch File 

was the inspiration for the layout of my card

I coloured Albert with my Flexmarkers, cut with a round Spellbinders Die

then inked with Old Photo Distress ink, whilst still in the die.

The sentiment is from LOTV, I stamped it with clear ink then

heat embossed with Copper embossing powder.

The ribbon is upcycled from a top & the buttons are from my stash.

Thanks for popping in today, I love it when you do!
