FESTIVE CHEER

Christmas will be here very soon and I was really in the mood for something festive to make.  Failure to make any christmas cards so far this year is a major bug bare for me but I just can't seem to get into it, I love mass production but you just have to be in the mood for it don't you.... so I opted for a stuffed toy instead!

Unprepared as I am, I do not have any red fabric paint 

so this is no Rudolph BUT cute all the same I think!

Hopefully the christmas cards will follow shortly, I can't even think about buying any, my family would kill me!

70 YEARS YOUNG

I recently made a card for the mother of a friend of mine for their 70th Birthday.  I really loved the finished result which came together after A LOT of placing and replacing until I was happy with it.

The finished card...

I used patterned paper from a range by Tilda, and dies from PTI and Spellbinder.  

I then made up a box envelope for it to go into.

The complete package.

Hope you're having a good week.  Thanks for popping in.

BUNNY TIMES

Today I have a few more bunnies to show you, a little one and a mini one!

and the mini one....

I'm really, really enjoying making these.  I adore messing around with paper and stamps but its nice to have something else to do sometimes don't you think.

I've decided to sell some of these on eBay so see how that goes.  If you're interest you can see them HERE

Have a great weekend!

DANDYLION DAYS

I Love this image.  Its so floaty and free looking but I wanted to give it a bit of umph with the red background to beef it up a bit.

I added a few specs of black glitter here and there and double mounted onto white cardstock.  The base of the card I stamped in 'Wheat' coloured ink with some leaves from a set by PTI.

That's it for today.  Take care

GIVE ME A TINKLE

A little card to share using some dies and stamps from PTI - can you tell yet that I love PTI!

They are just the cutest little stamps and matching dies.  This card is destined for my friend in Abu Dhabi who I miss loads.

Have a great one.

THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?

I've finished my chicken that I mentioned a while ago and wanted to share her with you.

I am struggling to find a terracotta colour linen fabric so used what I had for the comb, beak, legs etc and just inked them up a little for definition.

This one has a new home to go to which is great.  More to come, keep checking!

ALL DISTRESSED

I've used a variety of images for this card.  The bird and the background lettering are Marion Emerson and the sentiment is PTI, as are the keys that I've die cut.  I've had a another try at using distress inks too.

Its a bit blotchy but still, I quite like it.  I bit more dimension next time I think though.

Off shopping now, the nice kind too!  Thanks for popping in.

THE NECK OF IT

Back to the sewing machine for this post. I adore this pattern from Tone Finnager, Super Cute don't you think.

 I've been making quite few things recently and my office space is filling up fast.  I need to find new homes for them so I'm going to try my hand at selling them on eBay over the next few weeks.  I've had orders for these and some teddies, pigs and chickens from people at work which is fab so hopefully they'll sell so I can make some more!

 

Working on some chickens now, will share when finished!.

HEART OF THE HOME

Hi

Finally got on line and uploaded some pics today, only took 17 minutes to upload these three!  I purchased some new stamps recently and this is the first chance to try them out.  They are from PTI.  I apologise for the quality of the pictures, the weather is terrible today and its so dark outside.

A few close ups...

 

Hope you're having a great day, nearly the weekend folks!

HELLO

Hi

Its been a long while I know, but I have not had much chance to do anything worthy of a post recently.  My new job is pretty full one at the moment, a lot of new stuff to learn plus my internet is driving me totally nuts!  Its sooooo slow and takes an age to upload anything.  We live in one of many 'forgotten' areas where an ad on the TV banging on about BT Super Fast Fibre Optic Broadband makes you want to throw something at the telly - we can't even get basic, stable broadband let alone superfast fibre optic!

Anyhoo, I hope to be able to get something uploaded soon to share with you.  Please bear with me - I'll be back soon!!
