LETS CREATE & CRAFT #103

CHALLENGE #103 

Theme is...
BUTTERFLIES OR BIRDS.

For my DT inspiration I decided on a birdcage...

The cutting file for the birdcage was part of the Playful Parlour collection from SVG CUTS
The bird on branch and butterflies are from Silhouette Store
I cut them all out using my Silhouette Cameo (I love my Cameo)
The flowers & lace are from THE RIBBON GIRL
The ribbon is from my stash.

I added the flowers to the top of the cage and a bow made with the ribbon.

Around the bottom I added the cotton lace.

I cut out the little bird and sat him on the branch.

I also added one or two butterflies for decoration...

and some silk petals to the floor of the birdcage.

I am looking forward to seeing all the lovely creations for this challenge.

You can see more inspiration from the other DT members by visiting their blogs.

LETS CREATE & CRAFT #100

Hello everyone!

I have been invited by to join LETS CREATE & CRAFT Design Team!
What a lovely group of ladies!
I want to send a huge 'Thank you' to Eileen Dobson for the invite.
This is a new experience for me and I hope I can learn lots from this new venture along with making lots of new friends.

The challenge for April is ... SEASONAL FLOWERS

 

I loved making this card as I am addicted to flowers!

To make this card I have used....

White card

Blue vellum

TATTERED LACE Embossing Folder Fretwork Lace

Tiny self adhesive gems

Paper Forget-me-Nots from PETAL LU

Blue striped ribbon

Various files cut out with my Silhouette Cameo

I embossed the layers and made a pocket.
I used blue distress ink on the edges of all the layers.

I cut out a tag and wrote a sentiment on it, tied a piece of blue striped ribbon through the hole at the top and slipped the tag into the pocket of the card.
I made a tiny envelope, inked the edges and popped that in the pocket too.

I stuck fern and leaves to the front of the pocket, stuck several tiny vellum flowers on the leaves then added a clear gem to the centre of each flower.

I then added some Forget-me-Not paper flowers from my stash to form a small bouquet and added a bow in the blue striped ribbon.

I added some butterflies to various parts of the card.

On the back of the card I added an easel stand.
The stand will fold flat so the card will fit nicely into an envelope for posting.

I hope my card gives you lots of ideas and inspiration
I also hope you will join in our challenge at LETS CRAFT & CREATE and be in with a chance of winning the fantastic prize which you can read about on Lets Craft & Create blog.
I am looking forward to seeing all the wonderful entries.

MY NEWEST MAKE

So this is my newest make and my first attempt at the vintage/shabby chic style card.

The card itself was from a tutorial by TERESA ALLDAY and I would like to thank her for sharing her work and tutorials so I can learn and get inspiration from her.

I welcome all your comments but please be gentle with me lol.

I used papers from SCRAP & CRAFT

Petaloo flowers from SCRAP & CRAFT

Embellishments and lace trim from SWEET PARIS collection from DOVECRAFT

I am fairly pleased with the end result considering it is a first attempt.

This will be going off to USA for a young ladys 18th birthday.

I hope she likes it!!

IT'S BEEN A WHILE...

So its been a while since I posted here.

Lots been going on and I get sidetracked so easily when browsing I forget what I originally set out to do.

But Im going to try and keep this up to date as much as possible :)

So what have I been doing??

Ive been trying new things to do with cards, following lots and lots of blogs (thank you ladies for sharing your talent). I found many I fell in love with and follow them constantly.

One being Teresa Allday whose blog is Craftingallday Creations

Teresa makes the most gorgeous cards!

And I have taken some inspiration from her work, and I thank Teresa for allowing me to do that. Also to thank her for the tutorials on her blog....

I have also been making some 3D models, some of which come from My SVG Hut. This lady makes tremendous 3D models which are very easy to assemble and if you have problems the instructions are right there.

I love anything vintage and shabby chic so I will be trying these new cards a bit longer...they are so pretty and feminine...how could anyone not like them!

So here are a few of the things I have done over the last months since I last posted,
