Geometric card

Hello bloggists, and welcome.  Look who's helping me to craft today! 

This is Mysti, which is short for Mystique.  She's our Lilac Persian and she loves to join in crafting.  Usually, if she's around when I'm filming, she sits just off camera and supervises but this time she wanted to help.

This is the card we made -

And here's the tutorial - complete with guest appearance.

She didn't seem too impressed with the card - hope you like it, though!

See you again soon!

Clear window treat box

Hello bloggists, and  welcome.

Inspiration comes from strange places sometimes.  I was shopping when I saw treat boxes in the bakery section. They had a clear display window and were a good size to fit some cupcakes or cookies. And I thought, I wonder if I could make something like that?. 

This is my version. I used the Project Life Paperclips dies.  This set seems to get overlooked a bit, but it's a very useful basic set. 

Here's how I made it. 

What do you think?

Go fly a kite!

Hello bloggists and welcome to my blog.

I’ve been suffering from flu (blatant play for sympathy) and I am only just now getting over it so I hope you’ll forgive me if I keep this post short and sweet today!

Today’s project is a Kite card, which I’ve made using Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise DS papers - not my usual choice of colours.  In fact, I don't think I've ever used Melon Mambo before.

This was a really fun card to make. (I have to admit though, it was a little bit tricky to get the Melon Mambo panel to fit properly onto the front of the card.)

Here is the tutorial-fortunately recorded before the dreaded plague struck!

See you again soon,

Hello Sweet Friend

First of all, an apology for the absence of this blog on Saturday.  It was supposed to be a return to the Simply Sketched Saturday channel after the Christmas hiatus.  It didn't happen due to circumstances beyond our control but it was only postponed on Friday afternoon and I didn't have anything that I could put in its place, so - no blog.  Sorry about that, and we are now aiming for January 30th,

Today's card is a clean and simple project, using a "fuaxnamel" technique.  
I love the look of transparent enamel on a silver background and that was the look I wanted to achieve.

I coloured PVA with Stampin' Up! Re-inkers.  PVA dries clear and re-inkers are transparent, so that the underlying silver can still reflect the light.

This is a good project for using up small scraps of card.  Take a look at how I made the card -

Thank you for visiting - come back soon!
