Tea?? For 2

Good Morning all

Morning all Mel here to share a wee card and "gift" in one!! Ok when I say gift, it might be pushing it, but it would definitely bring a smile to that Special friend!

The little card is made form one sheet of 6x6 Basic Grey Hey Girl paper. Using the papers to decorate it too, I made a little pocket to fit a teabag or 2!

I then used the Clare Curd Pom Pom flower die-cut, some pink satin ribbon and the thicker blue satin ribbon plus some mulberry flowers, a beaded pin both from my stash before finishing with a tiny button and gems! All the papers have been out lined with a blue marker pen

Its a nice simple card but a lovely little something to send to a friend needing a little cheering up and just loved a good brew too!

Will thats me, off to enjoy some peace while hubby is working!

Take care

   

   

Mistletoe Kisses

Morning all

How are we out there in blogland?? Its Mel here again with a little festive cheer

A great wee set of last minute Christmas cards using some adds and ends from different paper packs and using my trusty Silhouette Cameo for the frames and mistletoe. If your really good with a craft knife you could do the frame yourself but here's how I done it

Firstly on my Silhouette program I made a 4x4 square with the text on it so when it was cut the text would leave a space. I also added my mistletoe shape to one side that I cut

I next removed the white text and stuck the white panel onto some red paper from my Basic Grey Hey Boy pad and used some of the green to cut the mistletoe from the Hey Boy pad as well

I've kept the text for another card, us crafters throw nothing away!

Next I covered the back of the red panel with foam pads and stuck it down on to a card blank, making sure it was certain and leaving a white border all around the red

Taking the mistletoe leaves just one large and 2 small, I embossed the back to give them some shape

before adding foam pads to the leaves and glue to the stems

the sticking to the card, in the middle just at the top of the white panel

Next I took some of my Card Candi and stuck it down to form the start of my mistletoe.

The folding another Card Candi in half with the pattern to the inside I stuck it on top of the other piece already on the card.

To finish I added a piece of red satin ribbon and thats it!

I also used some of the lighter green paper from the Hey Girl Basic Grey pad to form the lighter mistletoe steams! I think both are very festive!

Well thats all for me! Till next time everyone

Having a "Smashing" time

Morning all

Friday again, meaning a post from me and this week I've went with an oldie but a goody craft, digging out my trusty Smash Folio

Using my Pink Smash Folio and some pictures I had of my Hubby on our many adventures I knew that would be perfect on these green patterned pages in the Folio

On the first page I used lots of different elements from the Smash range including my favourite Black Dotty Washi Tape and the fab Green Gird paper that comes in the Grab bag

I used some Basic Grey Letters from my stash and also The "Good Day" sticker from the Hey You range

The Second page I keep simpleish with using one of the Large Folder pocket, where I've added out tickets to keep safe plus more of the Green Grid paper from the Grab Bag

Embellishing the second page with more washi tape including the Calendar Tab one, more Hey You stickers and the Activity Pad for the little journalling tab

Why not check the amazing deals Clare has on the Smash range and grab your self a wee BARGAIN!

Well thats me

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo .....

Good Morning all

Well its Friday again and that only means one thing Mel here with another wee post! And this week I have gone all Halloween for you all!

Yeah I made a little pumpkin card with some more of those lush Hey Boy Basic Grey papers

Firstly I drew out my pumpkin on scrap paper than drew round it on a card blank before making panels with the papers, layering the vibrant orange onto brown to help it pop! I distressed the edges with Vintage Photo before sticking together and layer onto the card blank. Added some die-cut leaves then some swirl and gems to finish

A nice easy simple card but perfect for the season!

Well lovelies until next time TTFN
