Back again!

Just a few of the cards that I made over the Easter holidays - yes I took some of my crafting gear away on holiday with me, including my big shot & new nestibilities!! So whilst the rest of the family who could & wanted to did their 10 mile hikes I crafted along with anyone else who wanted to join me :-) Some beautiful mini handbags were made using the Sizzix die :-) Some of you may recognise the MS leaf punch used on the second card. The blooms were made with my new flower punch, think it will become a favourite :-)

I made a few more boxes as Easter presents whilst on holiday but unfortunately don't have pics of them.

Another finished box

This is the box that I made at Sticky Fixers Craft Club. I've now made a few of these lovely boxes & just need to finish off decorating the others!

Sticky Fixers Sketch card

This is the card that I produced during the Craft Club lesson on Sketches - everyone produced really good cards from this, but I'm not sure that thay all understood what they were doing!!

Maddy & Rachel play!

Maddy & I actually had a crafty play in her craft room the other day & made this cute box from the instructions on here We had a lovely afternoon. It makes a change for us to actually do some crafting together for ourselves rather than for Sticky Fixers craft club :-)




Yesterday I used my new sizzix build a flower die that I bought at the Papercraft Fair at Harrogate on Saturday & used it to decorate the top of this cute box.




The faux 'ribbon' was made using Maddy's Martha Stewart punch, slightly offset on one side. I really want/need some of these gorgeous edging punches :-)

Edited to say that I forgot to say that one of the measurements on the box plan I had to revise - the 9 3/4 should be 9 1/2

Picture inspiration

This is my card for the Copics challenge 5. I've been a bit more literal with the picture inspiration - I couldn't find papers I liked in my stash for the challenge so did my own background using distress inks wiped over the card in rough stripes. The card is a tri fold. I used buttons for the flower middles. The image was matted onto a plain blue background & of course coloured with copics.

Birthday Card for BIL

This is the Birthday Card that I made for my BIL over in the USA - we share the same birthday :-) As the day was yesterday I can now reveal the card :-) It was featured on Crafts by Carolyn as a challenge card but I figured that he wouldn't visit there!

Another Mothers day card

This is another Mothers Day card, again coloured in copics - Hamish looks cute with his flowers for mum doesn't he :-)
