Summer foods

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend.

Today our lovely, talented, Steph is our host over at BBTB2 and the theme is Summer Foods.

 

 

I used Just Because Cards for this card. All layers cut at 5".

My Creative Time for the sentiment.

 

 

A little inking, embossing and 3d foam for this simple card.

I hope to get some craft time this week as life settles and normal work hours resume!

 

The DT has loads of great inspiration for you so do check them out and come play along.

 

I haven't figured out how to get photos from my ipad onto my blog but I have uploaded my camera photos to my PC so I should be able to share some piccies soon.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

 



                                                    

From the Kitchen...



Hi Everyone, how have you all been keeping?

 

Today the very talented and lovely Shelly has asked us to create a cricut project From the Kitchen over at BBTB2.

 

 

I used Wild Card 2 for the card and layers all cut at 4.5"

The DP is Floral Pavillion.

I made a matching envelope but cut it larger at 4.75" because of the dimension of the card.

 

 

We had a fab trip and tournament in Jakarta and I will share details and piccies soon but only got back at the weekend and  work is looming!!

 

I will be around to catch up with you all later this week but in the meantime check out all the amazing projects from my Design Team sisters and come and join in the fun.

Bouquet of Flowers

Happy Monday Everyone!

Caravan shaped card

Hi Everyone! How are you doing?

Well the week flew along again!

But it's the weekend and I hope you all have fun things planned.

 

Our Fun Friday challenge this week over at Little Scrap Pieces is Shape Up!

Anything but an A2 card.

 

 

I used Wild Card 2 for this fun card cut at 4.5"

I haven't added a sentiment yet as I thought it would be great for my stash ( don't know about you but for all the cards I make I never have any on hand!!). Could be new home or holiday.

 

 

I made a different version too.

 

 

Shaped cards are always fun, check out the ladies as they have some fabulous ones to share and hope you join us in this challenge.

 

Have a great weekend.

 

Faux Porcelain Brooch

Hi Everyone, hope you had a great weekend.

Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and Melanie has asked us to use a cricut cut flower for her challenge of April Showers bring May Flowers.

 

I made a brooch ...

 

 

My melt pot eventually arrived so I got to play with my beeswax and UTEE.

The base of the brooch is one of the chipboard shapes that comes with Artiste.

I then cut a circle at 1.75" to fit, inked the edges and melted beeswax over it.

It gives a lovely vintage feel to it.

 

 

I cut a flower at 2.5" from Art Philosophy and leaves from Artiste.

I then melted UTEE in the melt pot and dipped them in it to make faux porcelain leaves and flower.

 

I added blue twine and a brooch fastener and then hot glued everything to the brooch.

Just a pearl flourish to finish.

 

The ladies have some awesome projects to inspire you so do check them out and hope you come and play along.

 

Thanks for looking.
