Sew A Little Happiness

I made this box out of Kraft card a while ago, and decided it was time to do something with it.  I had a few little haberdashery embellishments, and then I downloaded the new 'Material Girl' designs from Pink Petticoat, (the little sewing machine and sentiments).  The sewing machine was coloured with Pro Markers.  I used some lace, and coloured one length by spraying with glimmer mist.  The papers are K & Company and Pinkpaislee. I used bakers devine twine, (The Ribbon Girl), to attach the tag.

Little Gift Set

I haven't had much free time to papercraft this week : (  But I had to make this little gift set for a friend.  I used the 'Tilda Classics' paper stack, which I love.  The label is by Die-namics, it's from the 'Frames and Greetings' die and stamp set.  Which is available from Tracy at Dies to die for.  Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely weekend.

1.  I love most music, and always have it playing in the background while I'm crafting.

2.  I like sci-fi,  paranormal and scary movies, but daren't watch the last two on my own - LOL!  I'm following 'Outcasts' and I'm looking forward to the next episodes of 'The Event'.

3.  I love Spring and Summer...spending lots of time in the sunshine outside in our garden, and in the Yorkshire Dales.

4.  I love animals, and up until a few years back we always had a dog.  But I can't bear the thoughts of loosing another one.

That's all for today folks.  I'm hoping to make a few more cards during this week.

Framework

I know not a lot of work has gone into this card, but it's the gorgeous frame that I love.  It's a design I cut on the Silhouette, and it's so pretty it doesn't really need anything else. 
Not been feeling much like card making for a few days, but have been taking a look at everyones lovely blogs.  Hope to make more cards soon.  Thank you for stopping by.

With Love

I've made this for a friend who likes pinks, blues and birds.  The rose was cream but I wanted it blue, so I painted it with a mixture of my folk art acrylics and made it a bit shabby chic.  I cut the bird on the Silhouette and computer generated the message.  Thanks for looking.

Vellum Flowers

Years ago all the flowers that I created for my cards were very dainty, made from either vellum, or cold porcelain.  I've just made a batch with vellum for a wedding card, and the ones that were left over I've put onto this card.  The paper is from the Papermania 'Rose Garden' collection.  I used tiny round pearls for the flower centre's.  The little dew drops are available from The Ribbon Girl.

Birthday Wishes

I really love this Martha Stewart punch  It makes such a pretty border.  I made the flower from copier paper and spritzed with some glimmer mist that I made from pearlex powders.  The leafy spray was cut on my Silhouette and I made the sentiment in graphics software.

Roses & Butterflies

All I could really do with this card was add a few embellishments. The beautiful paper did most of the work for me. I added the gorgeous white satin ribbon and a fancy pin from The Ribbon Girl. The tiny butterflies were glittered, pearls and bling added and I made some wire antenna's. The sentiment was created with graphics software.

Roses & Lace

I've been really busy for over a week.  Had to make lots of Valentine's cards and gift boxes.  This was a commission card but the photo hasn't turned out too good colour wise.  I bought a new Fuji S2950 camera and I'm still learning how to use it.  The card is A4 size, I'm not too keen on making these really large cards.

Peaches & Pearls

I just received my gorgeous new Die-namics crochet edge die from 'Dies to Die For' and I couldn't wait to start using it. I think it's so pretty!!
