"Sunflower Thinking of you"

Hello Friends, I have been thinking of friends and family this week so I have decided to do this Sunflower easel card. I have used the Spellbinders Sunflower die , butterflies , tag and postage stamp dies to make this card. To create the layered effect you need to cut, emboss and stencil with your dies as you go. Have fun.

Hope to have more coming your way soon, still waiting for a craft room so I can spread out and enjoy crafting. Not enjoying having to pack away everytime I make something..... I guess I have been spoilt for having such a big room in the West before we moved to Tasmania

Paper and ribbons

Well I have really loved working with just paper and ribbons this month. This makes for easy and quick cards.

Paper and Ribbon

Hello everyone, wow what crazy weather we are having. Snow on Mt Wellington and wet and cold down in Franklin. Card making weather.  Todays cards are made using two patterned papers (double-sided). No stamps, just ribbons and paper punches and dies. I have used chocolate card stock to make 15cm x 15cm card bases. 

Friendship card

A big hello to all again. Here is a card Ive had been working on, using Spellbinders Dies and Justrite Friendship sentiments stamps. Have fun and play around with your design.

 Start with a 12x12 piece of card and score and fold as shown.

 Measure down 2" from top corner and cut the corner of as shown

Stack up your layers ink the edges lightly

Using your dies cut flowers and butterflies to match the card. I have used ink and perfect pearls  to add to the flowers and leaves. Sculpt flowers and leaves with embossing tool. Embellish with rhinestones and brads.

The only die cutting required is with the cuttlebug fancy corners. kraft card base used on all cards as with the SB paper (striped) is from Kazazz..

Card Time again.

Hello everyone, yes Im back to creating cards again. Im still struggling with space to create in but Im having ago.

Trifold card, I have used G45 papers and nestabilities with alittle stamped background.

 I had fun with this card using a new technique with my daisy flower nesties and foliage nestie. I completely inked the die before running it through my cuttlebug in the usual way. Hint. use a pigment ink as they cover better and wash up straight away.

 Plaque. I have used one of Kens Papertopers, Fleur De lis borders, rose creations (nesties) sizzix dove and a flourish stamp to create the background.

 Plaque 2 - Again using a paper toper, and fancy corner sticker  from Papercraft supplies ,G45 paper a doily and ribbon.

 Plaque 3 - Paper topper from  Papercraft supplies, cuttlebug fancy corner die, Fleur De lis rectangle , butterfly nestabilities, Kaiser craft paper, ribbon and rhinestones

Secret Garden in the making

Wow where has the first few months gone?  Adrian has been working in the garden while I have been directing the project. ( He would say standing with hands on hips bossing him around.....) We found a little place that just was crying out to be a secret garden , even has a concealed entrance.

Entrance to garden.

Inside where i hope to put some fushiers and ferns.

A seat to sit and contemplate the veiw. (For me a place to sit and think of friends and family dearly missed back home)

The view from the seat.

Well that is the plan, still got a ways to go, but I cant push the help to hard or he may just bail on me.
