Only Words....

Morning! Leann is on now with the gorgeous Die'sire Only Words Edge'ables. Here's a couple of my samples made for the shows today. 

The first one is using the Happy Birthday Edge'able with the Red Luxury Card pack. It's a top stepper card, along with papers from the the Love and Romance 6x6 paper pad. The stars, arrows and banners are all from the Diamond Press starter kit.

The next one is made from the Gold Luxury card pack, with the Celebrate in Style Edge'able. The champagne flute is from the Together Forever collection.

And finally, this bendy front card used both of the Edge'ables with the Green Luxury card pack. The papers are from the Verity Rose 6x6 paper pack, and the flowers are cut with the Grand Floral dies from Sara Signature English Country Garden collection.

Lots more inspiration from Leann and the team during the shows today!!

Time to begin ......

Well, it's certainly been a while since I've been on here! Life seemed to just take over at the end of last year, and while I have been making, I haven't been sharing. So, I am determined to blog more and share more this year, and I have a backlog of many samples from 2016 to get through. Hopefully I will be able to find the time to get on here and share.

So, this is a favour box I made with the Hobby Edge'ables. I made the box using A3 Fresh White Centura Pearl, then cut the Let's Bake Edge'able four times from a strip of card measured to fit the top of the box. 

I then filled inside with paper flowers, and wrapped ribbon around the box finishing with a bow and another flower - and of course pearls!

So, here's to being a better sharer in 2017!!

A little more Illustrator!

Morning! Just popping on with another of the samples I made with the new Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens. This is a stepper card made with another Just Inklined image called Three Wise. My niece is obsessed with Orang Utans - and Just Inklined have several that I have used for her cards!!

The pens I used are: 

Bodies: Portrait - Dark Brown, Natural Brown, Cream

            Hues - Amber, Gold

Hands/Feet: Portrait - Dusty Pink, Peach

The sentiment is from Crafter’s Inspiration 6, and I used Embosalicious A4 Argyle embossing folder!

Enjoy your day!!

Large Fancy Edge'able Box and Card!

A very quick post to share with you! This one is made with the Rococo larger Die'sire Fancy Edge'able.

I only do a few commissions for friends and family now, and it's usually for a special occasion - wedding, anniversary, big birthday! And  they are invariably for my boxed cards. This is using Centura Pearl Fresh White double sided card, with Mink from the Pastels set.

The panel on the front is made from using 4 of the edge'ables, and then mitering them at the corners. The hearts are cut with Die'sire Essentials Hearts, and the outside edge of Sara Signature Love and Romance Collection - Decorative Heat. I used the Elegant Orchid Embossing folder. and the flowers are Sara Signature English Country Garden - Roll up flower.

 I always decorate the inside of the boxes for these special cards. 

And the card itself has layers of the edge'able as well as it being cut from the bottom of the card.

Back soon,

Day 55 - and Day 2 of sharing previous makes!

Evening! Not been working today - but still had a lot on. We have had our Gas and Electric meters changed to Smart Meters - which took a couple of hours of no power. Then I went for a run. And this afternoon I have been sewing!!

But today I am sharing my second make as part of the Crafty Friends challenge. I didn't realise yesterday, but I should be sharing makes from last year - and I shared one from 2014 - but I'm sure the world won't stop because of it.

This one is definitely from last year - February to be precise - and you can find all the details here. This one was for another mixed media challenge - this time a journal cover. I really enjoyed making this - with so many different elements. 

Back tomorrow with another oldie!!
