Reindeer Family

I've managed to make another Christmas card that is suitable to pop in the post, it's so difficult to keep them flat enough!

I have used another of my Crafter's Companion Sweet 16th Birthday purchases, the Reindeer Family Create-a-Card die along with papers from the First Edition Arctic Wonder Paper collection.  I used some Aqua card stock and a very old Dovecraft sentiment stamp that has been in my stash for ages, I popped it up with 2mm foam pads.

Facebook Live Class 27 - Work in Progress

I will be joining Facebook Live Class 27 run by Clare from my Creative Spirit this weekend, I love these classes, Clare is a fantastic teacher and always comes up with fun new projects for us to create.

This is my preparation for the class, we will be making a Flip Flap Album in a Box, the box and album covers are made from 2mm Chipboard and these are all of the pieces that I have cut ready to craft along. 

It doesn't seem possible that this pile of chipboard will end up looking like this super box and album - well hopefully it will.

Clare used the new Graphic 45 Come One, Come All collection to cover hers but I think I might use my Graphic 45 Artisan Style collection to cover mine, I'm saving the Come One, Come All collection for another project.

I will be back later in the week to share my progress.

Happy Birthday Paul

This is the card that I created for my husband, it was his Birthday earlier in the week.

I used some more of the images from the New World computer game that he has been playing recently. I found them on the internet along with the map from the game in the background. The frame is a Creative Expressions Die, it is the Decorative Rectangle Aperture Trio from the Slimline Collection. I cut it from pale blue card stock that matched the water on the map, unfortunately I then proceeded to cover up most of the water!

I computer generated the sentiment, I printed it on a portion of the map and also used the map to decorate the inside of the card.

The Most Wonderful Time

I have been making some more Christmas cards, I have used the Dovecraft Winter Wonderland collection to create this one.

I have used papers from the 8 x 8 Paper Pad and a decoupage topper from the Decoupage Pad, I have only used three layers and 2mm foam pads as this card will probably be posted.  I have used my Die-namics Fishtail Flag Dies again and matted the papers with some silver glitter card stock.

Thank you for visiting my blog today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

New World

This is the card that I made for my youngest son to give his Dad for his Birthday. I find it so difficult to make for my husband, he has lots of hobbies but not the ones that are usually covered by craft stamps or collections.

I took to Google and searched for images relating to his latest computer game - New World and created a card based around that.

I used my Moonstone Multi-Aperture Frame Die, it was one of the dies that I received when I was on the Hunkydory Design Team many moons ago, I cut it from red card stock and popped three of the images that I found behind it. I used a Die'sire Embossing folder to emboss the other red layer and alternated the red with black card stock layers.

I computer generated the sentiment and cut it out with my Die-namics Fishtail Flag Dies, I used foam pads between some of the layers to add some dimension. I decorated the inside with a map from the game.

Birthday Blooms

This is another Birthday card created with the Enchanted Dreams Sara Signature collection.

The gingham paper is from Bearly Mine Designs, sadly no longer trading, I used dies from the collection to create the flowers and the sentiment is a stamp also from the collection.  I created the fishtail flags with my Die-namics dies and used another of the papers to decorate the inside.

Slimline Birthday

I have another card to share using my Enchanted Dreams Sara Signature collection, this is for another of the family birthdays I have to make for this month.

I have used one of the 12 x 12 papers along with some Gold Pearl card stock from Creative Expressions.  The die is another Sweet 16th Birthday purchase, at least I'm making use of my purchases. I have kept this card quite simple, it needs to be kept flat for posting, all I have added is some hand made card candi.  I used some more of the card stock and paper to decorate the inside.

Thank you for popping in today, please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.
