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.

Umbrella Iris Shutter

A while back, I blogged a planner/journal page that I created using Elizabeth Craft Designs: Art Journal - Iris Shutter die set. That post has a detailed step-by-step of how to assemble the mechanism, so I will not go over that again here. Click here to have a look at that post. You can also watch the video link from that post - or the one for this post (click on the main photo) For this card, I haven't used the overlay part, and therefore did not use the extensions for the arrow on piece B.



For decoration, this time I have used Sizzix Thinlets - Flowers in Umbrella set. The little bird and some of the foliage were used as the image inside the iris shutter, with the rest providing embellishment for the card.

Thanks for popping by, and I hope I have given you a little inspiration. Feel free to follow me here on my blog, or on FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest. For all the videos, pop over to the Hixxy Studio YouTube channel to subscribe. And FB lives are streamed on both the YouTube channel and the Hixxy Crafts FB page. The main items I use can be found on the Hixxy Crafts website - have a look under the Hixxy Studio tab.

Happy crafting,

Cxxx
