I have sent 6 in to be used as samples for the show, it is the first time my cards will have been on TV!
I am so excited but won't be watching live as I will be at an all day Christmas Cardmaking Marathon.
I will be recording it though and will be watching it while I eat my Dinner :-) Tune in to channel 671 on Sky or Channel 36 Freeview if you can!
The first one was made with leftover papers from last year by K+Co and a scrap of Crate paper.
All papers on this card are by Crate paper. The twine is by The Ribbon Girl and so is the cute little button.
I made a round card using my Nestabilities and then added two of the papers which I cut with pinking scissors and then my Nestabilities. I added faux stitching with a pen and some American Crafts Thickers letters. The flowers and button were from my stash and the twine is by The Ribbon Girl.
I used the adorable Mimi and Marley on my card and the freebie sentiment from a couple of weeks ago which I split in half so I could put it over both sides of my gatefold card.
I loved making this card! I added a little closure made with a couple of punched circles and some twine fixed on with some eyelets. Mimi and Marley look so cute in these bright colours!
I coloured them with my Promarkers and added them to a card made with a gorgeous Pink Paislee paper available from Crafty Emma's store. The sentiment was last week's freebie and it goes so well with the Penguin image.
I wrapped the card with twine and then added my coloured in Codi on top with foam pads. I tied a bow with American crafts ribbon which I stuck over the twine and then topped this with a tag, charm and a lovely spotty button from The Ribbon Girl.
I have some work in progress on my desk. Some cards made with Pollycraft images and images from Di's Digi downloads. The cards all have sewing on them and are laid out on the desk with glitter glue drying on them. It is much nicer having my desk downstairs rather than in my room as I feel much more part of everything else going on...
...and I get to spend much more time with Charley too :-)
I coloured the image using my Promarkers and cut it out with my Nestabilities. I used a lovely paper from my scraps box and layered it on to red and green paper and ran my sewing machine around the edges. I added some lovely gingham ribbon, an Elzybells sentiment and a lovely little button from The Ribbon girl.
You get lots of toppers in the download so it is great to make quick an easy cards. For the first one, I cut some of the orange spotty paper to fit my base card, I then wrapped it with stripey twine which I tied in a knot. I cut out one of the toppers and another moon from another topper and covered this in glitter before adding it with foam pads. I cut 3 bats out from one of the backing papers and added them to the moon before sticking the finished topper to the card. I added a little button and a couple of stick on pearls to finish the card.
My second card was very quick to make. I cut a piece of stripey paper and added it to the base card. I then cut out the topper and added it to the base with foam pads. I added a couple of little ghosts cut from one of the backing papers and added them to the card with foam pads, I added a bit of sparkle to them with glitter glue. As a finishing touch, I added a little bow topped with a ghost brad and a little gem.
My last card uses the letters included on the topper sheet. I cut these out with my craft knife and added them with foam pads to a circle which I had cut with my pinking circle Nestabilities. I layered up some of the patterned papers with black card, wrapping the orange dotty paper with stripey twine. I added eyes to my 'Boo' and then stuck my topper on to the base card. As a finishing touch, I added glossy accents to the letters and a little spotty button.
I used Paris Nights GCD papers to make my card. They are just gorgeous and have a lovely vintage feel to them so the card I made is a bit different to my usual style.
I made a card blank using a Sizzix label die which I topped with some lovely DCWV tartan paper. I added a cute image by The Greeting Farm which I coloured with Promarkers, some twine and a Wild Rose Studio sentiment and finished off with some of my favourite Prima letters.
I just had to make a card with a cake on to celebrate her Birthday and these images by Jane Beljo available here from Squigglefly were perfect! The backing paper I used is from the Funky Hand Colour me Happy CD, the sentiment is Hero Arts and the twine and button are from The Ribbon Girl.
Cuthbert is coming to rescue little Princess Kiki from her tower :-) The numbers I used on the Clock are by Prima as are the flowers.
I bought the clock face and the mechanism from one of the Craft Pound shop stalls at on the craft shows recently. Making the clock was really simple as the points in between the scallops was where the numbers needed to go.
I made a quick card using the ghost backing paper and one of the toppers. The orange is just so yummy and bright and those ghosts are so cute! The ribbon and button I used are from The Ribbon Girl.
You can see a few more of the papers and toppers in the little sneaky peek above, if you click on the image it will take you straight to the new collection.
I used the card blanks I bought in Paperchase last week and the papers are from the Togetherness collection by Cosmo Cricket. The Owl I used is a digi stamp by Jane Beljo which is also available from Squigglefly.
I am so glad it is Friday, I am absolutely exhausted and cannot wait for the weekend to have a bit of a lie in. Travelling to London every day has not been fun and I am relieved that today is my last day. I will not be staying on to do any shopping after my course finishes although I did treat myself to some blank Kraft cards from the Paperchase at the station in my lunch break yesterday and I will be going back for more today :-)
I made this card a little while ago and I don't think I have shown it yet. I used a fabulous image from Squiggle Stamps, Daisy with her Balloon which is available here.
I decided to make a card when I came home for a Wedding with two grooms so I got to work with some Lori Boyd images. I had decided to craft to relax but this did not happen as everything that could go wrong with this card did and I am not 100% happy with the card. I didn't feel like tidying up when I finished so my desk is messy, it actually looks a lot worse in real life! If you would like to see more desks and maybe share a photo of yours, please pop over to Julia's for some WOYWW fun!
I really enjoyed the Challenge and chose to use the Merry Berry collection from the Colour Me Happy CD.
I printed off my favourite papers in the collection and added in a couple of digi images from the All I want for Christmas paper download and set to work. It didn't take me long to make these cards, I love these colours and mixed in with a little red stitching, they are perfect for Christmas!
I made these little boxes of golf tees at silly o'clock on Saturday morning to sell at the Christmas Fayre on which I will be having a stall at the end of November. I made the boxes using a Sizzix die and Acetate and stapled them together with green staples.
I then tied the boxes together with ribbon and made a tag with Maurice dressed in his Christmas jumper. I created a little Christmassy scene for him to stand in with some Papermania Honey and Hugs paper and a little glitter then added him to a tag cut with a Nestabilities scalloped circle.
I made a hanging paper ball using papers from the Funky Seasons CD. I cut 20 circles and folded them and then stuck them all together to make this Christmas decoration. It looks complicated but is actually really easy and I think it looks fab!
I love the colours in this collection and they are a bit different to the usual Christmassy colours.
The button, twine, ribbon are all from The Ribbon Girl, I am addicted to buying scrummy goodies from this lovely shop! I am also entering this card into the 1st Ribbon Girl challenge which is to use Orange, Black and White.
