Recent Makes

Well - I've made a mixture of things this last week!!!  I made a couple of cards, the first is decoupage and looks much nicer than it does in the photo!!!  I didn't seem to be able to capture the card well!!  The second card is a shabby chic Union Jack card - was feeling patriotic and had a fiddle with a flag image.  I'm pleased with the result, my sister wants this one, she wants to frame it to go with her collection of shabby chic Union Jack things!!!

I also made a sock monkey - he is an England supporter and is ready for the World Cup with his red and white scarf.

Two Baby Girl Cards

I had not made cards for at least a week and thought I had lost my cardmaking mojo!!!  I was asked to make a Baby Girl congratulations card so made 2 so that they could choose which one they wanted!!

Here they are:

Another Shabby Chic Door Hanger

Spent today making a door hanger from some lovely cherry fabric that I bought in the US.  The fabric there is so pretty.  Took me ages as did it all by hand again!!

I've decided to list these on Folksy to see if there is any interest!!

Shabby Chic Heart Door Hanger

Well - I've been doing abit of sewing this week!!  I bought some lovely strawberry fabric when I went into town so decided to make a door hanger.

I found a very small heart template from an old Tesco magazine which I enlarged.  I used some country check ribbon to make a rosette to which I added a button and some rustic looking string.

This is the result

Yet More Charm Bracelets!!!

Well - I am on a bracelet making roll at the moment!!!  These 2 are similar colours and are a lovely mix of beads in some of my favourite colours.

Both are made with glass beads and silver plated findings and chain and toggle clasp.

They are available in my Facebook shop for £6 each.  May list them on Folksy later as well!

Another charm bracelet!!

Have made another charm bracelet - nice and heavy and full of pretty glass beads!!!  It's another pink one as that was the most popular one last time!!  I have put it in my Facebook shop if anyone is interested in purchasing it!!!!

Here it is

Card for Rusty

Have not been in a cardmaking mood this week but set my mind to making a card for Rusty over on MSE who has not been well.

Here is the card

Butterfly Easel Card

I had seen a tutorial for this a while back and been meaning to try it!!  I made the template up and thought I would do it yesterday.  It took a while to do as the butterfly was cut by hand on the cardstock and the backing paper.  I used Tim Holtz Distress inks on the backing paper, flowers and butterflies and also edged with it.  I used an Inkadoo butterfly stamp on the butterfly base.

I used Cardstock from stash

Backing paper from DCWV Sunkissed

Prima Flowers

Buttons from stash

Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch

Tim Holtz Distress inks
