About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Farm Landscape card

Hello! I was given this cute little die set to play with from Precious Marieke. It's from the Cuddling On The Farm collection, and is called Farm Landscape.

I have gone for natural tones - but it could really jazzed up for a child's card. The dies cut out the front piece with the rooster and fence, the barn and the sky with the mountain silhouette. I have cut this in blue and white and paper pieced the clouds back in. 


I also cut the front piece again in green and snipped into it to have some grass in front of the fence. I mounted some card behind the barns, and cut  piece of green by hand to create the illusion of fields behind the barns - before you reach the mountains. I added a frame over the top to cover the edges.

Feel free to click on the photo to see the video demonstration.
