Tag and bow

Hi there , welcome to my room and thanks for calling in .
Good health and happiness to you and yours .

Not much crafting since I saw you last .
Rattly cough and sniffles as is usual for some one with a cold .Almost over it I think .
For a while there I was afraid to use a blade cutter for card making as I might have cut a finger off while coughing and cutting at the same time
This DT card is all I have managed , the details of which will be in the challenge blog .

Flowers for you

Hi . Welcome to my room . Hope you are having a good week . Friday tomorrow . Is it the end of the working week for you?

Are you planning anything special for the weekend?

Doug and I will drive to a shopping centre a bit further from home , tomorrow morning , for coffee and scones .That is our Friday treat . It is a B&B coffee place and their scones are to die for . I think their secret is that they don't cut the dough into usual scone shape . Instead they roll a piece of scone dough in hands and place small ball on tray. Then they brush all over top and sides with milk and egg mix . MmmM !! I wonder if Michelle will know if I skip my diet ....

I had some fun time in my room today and now have a card to share .

This Sizzix gate fold die is a well used one of mine , along with Flower Layer Set.

Inside with right gate held with clip. And showing front with gates closed.

The Teddie with flowers image is from a free set " All Occasions" that came with a magazine .

The little tag for sentiment is a KaiserCraft product . I coloured with Copics .

Enjoyed creating this and I hope you like it too .

off now to see what has been added to the Make it Monday linky party .

This card may suit and be entered into these challenges .

Just a Blue card.

Hello crafting buddies . Hope that you have had a FANTASTIC weekend . Welcome to my room . I am so far behind making comments it's embarrassing and I am sorry . Will try to add a couple tonight and some more tomorrow afternoon .
A card by accident is one I share tonight .
I used an old stamp recently , a large bow , a lucys stamp . Well I found the Ribbon Border that went with it . I was enthused by the find and honestly this card took maybe 20minutes from thought to creation.
I made it while a crafting buddy was making up the card kits I had prepared .Thanks for your company today Jane .
here is the card .

Dark blue card base.  Light blue card  embossed and trimmed to just smaller than card front .
Whisper White card has  decorative punched border and then  Ribbon Border  stamped in Brocade Blue .I stamped both the border and bow on blue card and  pieced the cut out onto ribbon border on the white card. Added a few rhinestones and rounded the corners before assembling .

Hope you like it .





Catch you again soon , cheers for now Shirley-Anne.

Good afternoon everyone. Welcome to my room . Just spoke to our Son in Roxby Downs and the temperature there is over 40 . I think it is that here too. I'm here thinking of Mina , who has often suggested that I could send some of our warm weather her way as it is snowing in her area . Well Mina please take it!!
I am so over hot ...
Any way , remember a few days ago when I said that I would like to try and add more embellishment to my cards . Here is another of my attempts to do just that .

 

recipe

SU retired card stock , Whisper White .

Dot embossing folder , Big Shot

Diecut, Movers and Shakers , Jim Holtz

Image 'spring is back' Sarah kay

Basic brown ink

Various Markers .

Border punch Fiskars

Stampin'dimensionals.

Flowers , green leaves , rhinestones and ribbon from my stash .

I think that it is harder to add more to C6 size cards than the larger square cards but I think I am getting the hang of adding bits .

Hope you like the card I share today .
