Anniversary Card

Had to make an anniversary card for my in laws,...

this is what i came up with... loved the style of the card - got inspiration from Pinterest via a lady called Julia.... I had to play with measurement to get it right took a few attempts - the only thing is i needed to get the card out I didnt remember to remeasure and note down the measurement - what a numpty!!! Will have to have another play... i do have my paper template which werent perfect to check - at least its not from afresh!!

Ah well.... will have to find out where the paper came from and the die cut as well - it might be one that i didnt take a note of, i only just started labelling what company the dies and stamps came from.....




Happy crafting lovely people!

Haul haul and more haul

I seriously think I have a problem..... I bought more things!!!

This shape is from everycraftapound website.... I love this website... I get some tabby deals in this... normally things should costs 3 or 4 times the value of the rrp.... most of the time it's cos the products are last season.... but I don5 ,one... don't think there's necessary an in thing for crafting right?











I got 11 sets of dies 2 stamps sets 3 embossing folders 5 paper pads 1 is a5 size and the 1 is 8x8, 3 are 12 x12! 3 x of the building flakes as well.... (saw a video on This and thought I want to try but the nuvou box is 5 quid rrp and I'd like at least 2 colours thought that was about much so been keeping an eye out.... they have these in plastic boxes so did get messy but I think it cos me way less than 1 quid. 
Anyway I got this lot came to under 45 quid. So impressed with the value and the service. So would highly recommend everycraftapound.

This next lot is from craftstash.. . Oh man I found this site from magazines in May and since then I just been shopping far too much from there!

Loving the stamps though can't wait to play.... the service and value is good too..... 


Well finally... I got This lot from Poundland... been wanting it for a while as other crafters got them and shared on hauls finally found them...actually I sent my hubby out to look near his work lol



Well happy crafting and shopping lovely crafters..... off to make an anniversary card.... poops late again!


Inside Shadow cards

So I've been watching some youtube videos to get some inspirations and recently Jennifer McGuire uploaded a video to show how to make inside shadow cards and inside tunnel cards.

Its actually not too hard to make the base - the only thing is inspiration to how to decorate it!

I made a couple - one is a Christmas card and the other is a New Home card for a neighbour.

So the new home card.....


I used a stamp from a set called From out Home to Yours from the love of stamps range by Hunkydory stamped with Versafine onyx black ink fussy cut out, the blue background paper is from papermania 12 x 12 pad that I had purchased many many moons ago. The front background paper is from the Magic moments by Make and create paper pads from the works - lovely quality and love the patterns that come with it. The tag is from docrafts bare basic range with a spare button and brown twine that I have in my stash.

The other card I made is the following Christmas card, this one is actually a inside tunnel card


I used one of the free stamp sets from a magazine - the PaperCrafter - Issue 124 - its got some fabby Christmas stamps so I used that to make the scene. The paper I used is from the 12 x 12 First Edition Pick and Mix pad, the quality of this is brilliant - and loving the vivid patterns as well. I think I got that on an offer in one of my random online shop. So glad to be using some of my stock! 

Happy crafting, lovely people

More haul and new idea of mini ink pad storage

Well the last week I done some shopping and also had an idea, so my credit card company is loving me just now!

Below is a selection of things I bought - a couple are a complete bargain and looking to put them to good use shortly. I was very lucky as there was a fellow crafter browsing - but for some reason she didn't spot it or don't want it, so I'm glad I've picked it up!

The docrafts goodie bag.... I picked this up for £4.99 at the Range.....

Look at try amount of goodies in it... Loving my bargain and looking to use it 😁


At the Range I picked up other crafty things... mainly paper..... and foam... these are just black and white and brown.... for £1 that was pretty good....  will be using these as to give project dimension especially for larger item


I shopped at the works and Poundland as well great deals there if you have one nearby 

Online shopping is a wonderful thing and dangerous.... recently found a great online shop called craft stash.. . Their prices are very good so made quite a few orders there recently... got some back issues of magazines which had great gifts and also some new Christmas baubles dues that's really cool.... would red recommend this shop if you need anything... I do shop around before deciding to buy too lol
 
 

Create and craft is also good... esp when they have capped shipping offer on. I ended up getting some 12x12 white card and some art glitter glue.... they sound fab but only seem to be available from America..  anyway create and craft have it so I thought I would try it out 😁

Right lovely people... im off to craft.

Happy crafter!!!

New cards and some haul


I seen a haul video lately and they said poundland was selling this washi tape - which I really liked the look of, so I asked my OH to have a look for me yesterday as I didn't fancy just going out to the one shop when is just by his office... anyway I love radio shopping lol - with technology today its great, he took pictures of the washi tapes and I called him and told him which ones liked!
Excellent :)
Loving that I'm getting back into card making - made a few - some are decoupage cards, some I've been playing with my die cuts and seeing how what different things I can do. 



Happy crafting!

Some recent makes - Cards

As I mentioned the last few months I got back into my hobby! As a typical crafter I have been buying as well!! Anyway Create and Craft gave me a £5 welcome gift so I shopped and saw this kit called get the nation crafting - it basically used the £5 voucher and got free delivery.
This is the idea sheet that came with the kit..... I made this many cards and still have bits left for more cards... not bad for someone starting out or like me getting back into it :)



These are the cards I made with it - very simple - was just arranging and matting and layering but it was very therapeutic and means I can get some done and feel accomplished in the little time I have before a certain little person wants my attention.






















Happy Crafting!
