A Clock I Made!

Good Morning Friends

I hope you've all had a good weekend. I've spent mine crafting and practising new techniques, which I will share at another time. 

Anyway, I needed a new clock for my kitchen and I decided to make one as I had some clock hands in a drawer which I had for ages. So here it is...

I created this using my Cricut Maker and I purchased the design from here. It would seem layered mandalas are all the rage at the moment especially on the Facebook pages for Cricut. The clock hands had a red second hand and I really didn't like the colour and thought how can I change this, so I used silver embossing powder and heated it and used loads of layers to build the colour up until I was happy and it worked really well.

I hope you all have a good week and hope the weather improves too!

Take and stay safe.

Hi Again

Hello

Good evening friends, I hope you are all well. So what's happened with the weather? Oh my it's really cold this evening, great excuse to craft!

Anyway on to my card. This is something out of my comfort zone... While I've been isolating I have been trying different techniques. I bought some watercolour pencils and thought I would give it a try colouring with them, I must admit I really enjoyed it. So here it is...

I have used a stamp from Lili of the Valley, Kraft card and card blank, watercolour pencils and Tim Holtz ink pads. ribbon and gems from stash.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and stay safe.

A Quick Card!

Hello Again

It's been a beautiful, but a windy day here in sunny Southend. I've been on a bit of a roll making cards and looking out for my Amazon deliveries! I had a birthday a couple of weeks ago and got some vouchers to spend at Amazon, so I added to my Promarker collection, bought some new cutting dies and different types of card. I also purchased some watercolour pencils to have a try at that type of colouring, which I have been doing this afternoon, I really liked it, so may need to add to the collection.

Anyway I have a lot of birthdays coming up and so I need to add to my box ready to send out. So here is a quick birthday card I made using a pre-coloured image. Here it is....

The image is 'Time for you Girl' - Floral by Lili of the Valley which you can purchase from here, the sentiment tags are also Lili of the Valley which you can also find in their Etsy Shop. The paper is from an old pad I had, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the dies are Spellbinders, ribbon from my local haberdashery shop and the bling is from my stash.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and stay safe everyone.

My Colouring is Pants

Good Evening

So my first proper post with a card that I have made and I must say my colouring is pants! I didn't realise how bad it was, just goes to show that when you don't make things constantly you tend to forget how it's done, so more practice is needed!

So here is my really bad attempt....

This is such a cute stamp from Lili of the Valley called 'Dressed Up' which you can buy from the LOTV outlet shop on Etsy here. Other items I have used are Promarkers, Make & Create 'Sweet Garden Roses' paper pad, the die is a Marianne Creatables, Hunkydory Moonstone 'fabulous flowers, Lawn Fawn sentiment die and the ribbon is from my local haberdashery shop. 

Thank you for passing by and stay safe.

Hello

Hi, it's definitely been a while since we all last met! Nearly 3 years have passed, which seems a lifetime. So a bit about what has been going on in my life. I gave up cardmaking for a couple of years, I had lost my mojo. I was still crafting, but doing and trying other things. I purchased a Cricut machine and was making things with that, I also bought a new sewing machine too, So have been sewing things. 

Anyway back last October I broke my ankle quite badly and ended up in plaster for 6 weeks. As I live in a tower block I had to have a risk assessment by my landlord just in case there was a fire and how would I get out. One of the things that came out of this was that I own too many crafty things 😊. So I decided to see if I had my mojo back with the cardmaking. It's coming back slowly, but I'm getting there. So I will blog some of the cards I have made recently.

So another thing on my list to do was to reactivate my blog and give it a makeover and a new name. Which is what I have been doing today. I'm not sure if this will be the final version, but the new name won't change. I just need to figure out how to change the blogspot.com link.

So I will be blogging some of my crafts and not just cards here to give inspiration. 

Stay safe and thanks for passing by.
