Made at SJ's Stampin up card class

All i have to say is.... Their gorgeous and i cant wait to join the team!!!

A Birthday present

Here is a birthday present for a friend of mine. I brought a 3D frame, used scripted and plain brown cardstock and added a few embellishments, one of which is on a spring (owl). As you can see my 3D acrylic glittery glue dots have been incorporated in my project yet again! Then to finish it all of I used my big shot to create my butterfly and glued it on useing pinflair.

Craft 3D photo frames

Hello :D

Just a quick one today , well I had the chance over the weekend to relax!! Which is a first!! Sooooo I thought hmmmm I want to make  something to go in my new craft room.  So I thought i'd combine the 3D photo frames and some stamped letters..... But what word to stamp, so I just thought 'CRAFT' as its simple and straight to the point tee hee. ( I'd like to make one for our bedroom Aswell, soon they will be all over the house!!!) so I stamped a floral heart from the 'Chloe' range and coloured it in with my pro markers, added a few 3D glue dots and covered them with glitter :),

 .I will post the finished frames once we have moved as everything is in boxes. :(

does anyone have a sweet tooth?? welcome to my xmas sweet extravaganza!!

Good afternoon :)

Here are my xmas sweet extravaganza vases. I made them for all my work colleagues. Well their faces reminded me of a child in a candy store!!

I made them each keychains with individual charms and hung them on the front of the vases.

Enjoy!!

 

Tatting

Good afternoon from sunny yet cold England!
Well a friend of mine Manisha has introduced a new craft to me. Tatting! What is that I asked her, she explained to me what it was so I googled it and watched clips of it on YouTube, I get the general gist of it but I haven't a clue how to use a tatting shuttle. Does anyone from Southampton or near Southampton know anyone they can suggest to me so I can be taught in person?

At some point this week I will be uploading photos of my Christmas cards I made from a card making class with Sarah-Jane :)

Our new scrapbook page

I have had 'Craft Artist 2' for a few weeks now but haven't had the time to use it, so this evening whilst looking through my magazines that I purchased from the craft fare at the NEC yesterday!!! I thought Id put it to good use, I hope you like it :). Very girly!

Comments are always appreciated, have fun looking through my website.

Sorry...

My apologies for my absence on my website. I have been very busy crafting a few little hand made gifts for Christmas presents and been " as always " busy with work. Also I now have 3 pen-pals in different parts of the world so have been busy writing and sending pictures to them :)

What i have been playing with is the owl punch from stampin up :) (sarah jane), i was very excited to recieve my package i can tell you!!!!
The 3D box frame i made for my friends birthday in October :) I got the idea from Pinterest (Thank god for pinterest !!) I stamped an owl image then used my pro markers to color it in then attached it to a 3D spring device to add a little dimension. added the initial 'C' for her name then a few more embellishments and 3D glitter glue dots :)

A few more bracelets

Here are a few more bracelets i made with my new beads :) Of course i made them to match my clothing those evenings :)

Dads Birthday card

This was a very quick card as I had been at Bournemouth air show all day (Very knackered by the end of it)

I inked the edges with my Tim Holtz distress ink and added my little glittery 3D dots, and added a little string :) sometimes i prefer string to ribbon, adds more of a vintage feel.

The Decoupage looks just like my dad haha. Thank you for passing by.

Trying something new

Instead of a bouquet of flowers, its a bouquet of choc!!! Well i know which one i would prefer yummmmmmm!!  I will be making a few more of these for various occasions :) Different sweets and different vases so keep a look out!!! :)

xmas cards 2012

What a hectic few weeks I've had!!! I do apologize for not posting any of my latest projects recently.

Weather has been awful today so what a better way to spend it indoors in my pjs with my slippers, a cup of coffee always to hand and my desk. :) . 16 cards later and a dozen cups of coffee and hey presto!!!

I love buttons!!!! id put them everywhere if i could. On these xmas cards I've used the 'Tulip' and 'Me to you' range, using the matching papers and a little string to add the 'vintage' look :).

 This is a close up of my glittery 3D dots i made with my clear acrylic glue.

Stampin up banner

 At one of my stampin up classes i have attended over the xmas period, we where making banners!But i decided to be different and alter it to say 'peace' instead of 'merry' looks very vintage in my room and will look even better in my new craft room in my new house!!

Hen party invite

Heres a hen party invite i did as a sample for my friend. A little different from your average hen party invites but this really reflects my friends personality and character. She was very happy with the end results :)

Charisse's wedding pillow

                                       So heres my home made wedding present i made for my friend and her husband. I chose this idea as its very old school which suits my friend down to the ground. i chose the fabrics to reflect her personality and her wedding theme. The lace and silk back gives the pillow an elegant and vintage look. I hand stitched all the hearts on which took me forever as this is the first pillow i have made like this, and i wanted it to be perfect ! 

Home made cards

Here are a few of my home made cards.My 2012 goal is to make all my own cards for all various occasions for friends and family.
