Stampin' Up's Needle and Thread bundle

Hello there,
I have a cute card today using the Needle and Thread bundle which I will be using in class later this week. This means I have made loads of samples with this set and so I will be sharing all of them here over the coming days!
This card started life at On Stage but I didn't assemble it while I was there as I wanted to add a few extras and tweak it a little to create this card...

Some of the tiny changes I made were to cut the DSP in half, layer the pink card with a pop of Berry Burst and use those lovely swirl stamped images too.
And don't you adore that pin effect the background die creates on here?

 I have loved using this suite, so much so that I have to actually force myself to move on to some of the other lovely stamps in the Spring/Summer catalogue so I have some other projects to share with you here, lol!

I hope you have enjoyed todays make and I will be back with loads more makes over the next week or so! I do hope you'll pop back to see :-)
Thanks for looking today.

Floral Frames Card

Hello there!
Today I have a card using the very pretty wreath image stamp from the Floral Frames set which I coloured using my blends. This was a super quick card to colour and so fairly quick to make too, let's see...

 I do love this image and I wanted it to be the focus so just added some coordinating twine around the bottom.

  Layered onto calypso coral card to bring out the orange in the flowers too.

 And pop on a few sequins (obvs) to finish! Super simple stamping and colouring.
A perfect and pretty card, great if you're just starting with Blends and only have a few colours...

So, I have been back in my craft room making a few cards this past week, ready for my upcoming Needlepoint Nook class, which I have also photographed and they now need just a little editing before I can share them here. Very soon, I promise...
 But I now also have a large box of shiny new stash to get stuck into this week too. I'm enjoying getting back in the swing of things, craft wise, after the Christmas break, I just need a few more hours in every single day to fit everything in, lol!
OK, I'll be back super soon with another make but 'til then, happy crafting!

Last Cards of 2018 - Wishing You A Happy and Crafty 2019!

Hello there,
I hope your Christmas was brilliant! We have had a lovely time here, seeing most of our dearest people and despite working some over the holidays, we have had a really nice Christmas. I have also started to tidy and sort out my craft room o_o ... I have a feeling it may take a few more days, lol!
I have just two/three more festive cards to share with you and so I'm back again today to share them all with you! Fair warning, this is a picture heavy post for your new years eve viewing so I do recommend a cuppa to go with it ;-)
Let's start with the Winter Woods make first. I made this as part of a challenge by my SU! up, upline Monica recently...

I teamed it with the Festive Farmhouse Elements, coloured with a Cherry Cobbler blends pen...

Adding a little blue sponging under the trees and some gold glimmer paper to finish.

So that's the first card for today, I hope you enjoyed it?
Next I have a pair of cards to share - hence the two/three statement at the beginning ;-)

So, we made this design at my All Day Class and coloured it with Aqua Painters and ink pads (the right hand card) and then I made a second version using slightly different papers and coloured it with my Blends pens, let's take a look at the cards together first...

This is the class card with this cute spotty paper. The sentiment is the "Warm Hearted" hostess set from the A/W catalogue and it will not be available after the 2nd January :-(

 We coloured the "So Santa" image on this make using aqua painters and ink pads on Thick White card.

 And for this second card I used some of the Christmas lights papers...

 And coloured the image with my blends on regular Whisper White card.

And here they are together again to finish.

So, that's my two/three cards for today and also my last offering to you for this year!

It's been a very crafty year here and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me both on here and on social media and for all your love and support xoxo 

I hope that you have enjoyed my makes and will continue to visit me to share in our crafty passion during the next year also. 

Many crafty hugs for a fantastic 2019!
