Fathers day card #1

Hello There!

I’ve been so excited today because Dallas is back! I’ve watched the first episode and I plan to watch the second one after this post is up, I love how many of the original cast are still in it. Also I found out today that 2 of my favourite ever TV shows are coming soon, Breaking Bad is back next month and although it is sad that it will be the last series I’m sure it will be great. Also Dexter will be back in September and I can’t wait to see how they handle what happened at the end of the last series.

So onto crafty stuff, I have a couple of Fathers day cards on the lead up to the day on Sunday, a bit late I know but better late than never! The male themed cut files can be used for Birthdays too so even if you have this years Fathers day card sorted these might still come in handy for you. Today I have tie cut files and a tie themed sentiment, I hope you like them :)

My sentiment was printed directly onto some patterned paper using the method I shared in this post to change the colour to blue. I cut several little ties which I popped onto my card in a curve to create a tie bunting/pennant look with twine bows at each end. A very simple card but I’m pleased with how it turned out.

If Friends were Flowers…

Hiyah!!

I’ve kinda lost my mojo a bit lately and I’ve been looking for it everywhere but I just can’t find it ;) I figured I’d force myself to sit down and make a card to see if I could kick start some creativity and the easiest way to do that is to follow a sketch. I picked last weeks one from Card Patterns, I substituted the buttons for flowers to match my sentiment and as I didn’t want to cover my patterned paper too much, I used a piece of vellum for the semi-circle panel with my new border on top. Oh the flowers were made from the 6 petaled flower from my Flowers 2 set which I curled a little and stacked onto a brad then backed with some leaves from my Branches 1 set.

So, your freebies today are the border and sentiment shown in my card, I hope you like them and will find them useful in your crafty projects :)

Hey Guys :)

I’ve had a spot of the lurgy this week which is why I’ve been a bit quiet and it also meant that I had to take a break from the exercise bike for a couple of days but I still managed to lose over 5 pounds for the week so all is good!

I had trouble concentrating on anything too creative but I did have a pretty productive session taking my patterned paper scrap draw out and creating some backgrounds with them. I piled some of the co-ordinating papers together, then cut into strips and attached to some pre-cut pieces of card either horizontally or diagonally. The next day I sewed along all of the joins and ended up with some lovely background designs, it cleared some of my scraps and was very satisfying indeed. Here are the ones left over after today’s card which you’ll no doubt see popping up every now and then.

I’ve made a flourish cut files for you today, it was a request from a while back, also I have a digi sentiment for you too. I printed my sentiment in a dusky pink colour using this method to change the colour then cut with a nestability. I cut the same flourish twice, stuck together to make a symmetrical shape and placed behind one of my rolled flowers then popped onto my sentiment panel. I cut my decorative border 1 then added both the border and my sentiment panel onto one of the backgrounds shown above then finally added some seam binding ribbon and some flat backed pearls.
