Christmas cards

I had to use my banner punch and stamps to make a batch of Christmas cards. Stamp it up has some lovely bits and bobs and the quality is great, you get what you pay for.

Birthday card

It had to be pink for my neice Lucy, this was for her birthday in November 2011. I wanted to use my new stamps and punch from stamp it up to make the banner, and a bit of colouring with my pro markers.

RIP

Rest in peace to my Father in Law who passed away yesterday, surrounded by members of his family.

Yo Yo embellishments

I can not stop making these little emballishments for cards. Will have to post how the yo yo makers work. I have quiet a few different fabrics with Christmas pattens on, and I have got some everyday fabrics as well, because these will look good on scrapbook pages and birthday cards as well. The fabric patterns have to be small really as they are pleated up and alot of the pattern will be lost.

Teasing Noddy

Poor dog! I played a video on the computer of him playing with a squeaky toy and he could not understand why his squeaky toy was playing from the speakers!

He makes me laugh when his head goes from side to side, he does this when he is listening to what Dean is doing in another room, I have to nudge him and tell him to get up and go and have a look instead of sitting moving his head around!!!

Book Card

Well I finished altering the book I bought. I wanted to use this as a birthday card for a fellow crafter. We like to send each other different types of cards.

I painted the book with acrylic sage paint from craftynotions. Then I sponged Olive multi-surface paint again from carfty notions. This made it look old plus this paint has a bit of a pearly sheen, it looked better to the eye than the camera.

I did the metal flowers inside, as I wanted to add interest and also I just wanted to play with metal!! The pictures are rub-ons, and the frame to the inside picture is a length of ribbon crimped onto a piece of strong double sided tape.

I put the to and from section on the very back. I had fun playing with these, and I can not remember which event I was at when I bought the blank, but I have found the manufacturer and you can buy online, but better still they are only a short drive from me!!! Soooooo as I am off work this week where do you think I will be visiting?!!!! Watch this space you could well see some more pen pots ordered by my sister and Niece if they have some of those in stock.
