First January birthday

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs

I don't know about you, but I am not at all comfortable with these unseasonable temperatures, it was 13c when I went to work yesterday afternoon, and they have promised 14c today!!!

My card for today is for a friend whose birthday is at the beginning of January, I cannot believe it is so nearly 2016!

Quite a simple card. 

8x8 basecard from Papermania.

White pearlised card embossed with 8x8 Embosslicious Distressed folder.

Sentiment cut with Die'sire dies.

Flower cut with Sue Wilson dies.

Foliage cut with Memory Box dies.

Red pearlised card from PDA

Pins and pearl flower centre from stash and coloured with Copic marker.

I think this is my favourite embossing folder ever, and it is suitable for many occasions :o)

Friday night workshop

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs to all of you who want or need them.

1st of December already and the shoppers are out in force, it was manic at the tills last night!!!

It was my turn to host our Friday night workshop a couple of weeks ago, and I didn't have time to make a sample, so I just made up 3 identitical kits (apart from colours) and we each 'did our own thing' with them LOL

Below is what we came up with :o)

Pauline's on the left, Sandra's in the middle and mine on the right.

Pauline left space on hers for sentiment.

Photograph taken in artificial light so true colours difficult to determine.

This is mine close up and taken in natural light so the colours are pretty much true!

Basecards are approx. 6x6, folded and cut from A4 sheet if white linencard.

Grey layers are from a DCWV sheet, embossed with Crafters Companion 8x8 Distressed folder, mine is grey Coredinations so I was able to sand it.

All leaves cut with Memory Box dies from DCWV card.

All flowers cut from pearlised card with Sue Wilson dies.

We raided my gems box and each used different stuff from it.

Tiny brad (had them for many years) used for my flower centre, the girls used pearls for theirs.

I pierced the white panels with Spellbinders :o)

More workshop cards...

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs

Very dull and windy here this morning after me being like a limp wet rag yesterday in our 30c temperature! I know a lot of you love it, and I don't like wishing my life away, but roll on Autumn sez I.

Anyhow, enough of my griping. My cards for today were both from one of our Friday sessions with friend Sandra as hostess (my turn this coming Friday)

 I can't give many details as they were both cut and ready for us to put them together. The only difference on the top one is that I used and SU sentiment where the other ladies used a big bow, and they added sentiments to the four corners.

It was fiddly weaving the background but I like it so it was worth it.

 I followed this one as per the sample and I don't know what dies were used other than the Sue Wilson flowers :o)

Something a bit different

Good morning Bloggers, I hope all is well in your world...hugs.

I think that most of us love the WoW cards, and I had been toying with the idea of a cream on cream one, but when I saw Pams-crafts Pink on Pink card a week or so ago, I decided I would make several different one colour cards just for fun. I have always loved grey so here is my first of 6 different colour tones cards, a GoG one!

All card is from stash and mostly bought years ago at PDA, but there may be some from The Papermill Shop before they all closed.

Finished card size is just under 6x6.

Circleburst and leaf dies are from Memory Box.

Daisy dies from Sue Wilson. 

Tiny brad from stash. 

SU sentiment stamp.

Not a lot else I can say about it :o)

Purple birthday

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs

Are you ready for the big day? I have now done all my shopping and anything that hasn't been got will just have to be left LOL.

My card for today is another one using bits, those boxes are bottomless :o)

 

 

Unfortunately I had to use flash as the day was so dull, hence the glare!

The only thing new on this card is the SU greeting, cut with Spellbinders, even the base card was folded and cut a while ago LOL.

Pearlised paper flowers punched with Woodware, Xcut and EK Success.

Leaves cut with my one and only  Sue Wilson die set a while ago.

MME card backing cut With Cricut.

Pearls from stash and coloured with Copic pen.

The very pink gragonfly has been removed since I took the pic, the colour was too far out of place :o)
