Steampunk cards

These are are my steampunk birthday cards for my sisters and sis-in-law .

all the flourishes and cogs were done on my pazzles.

the dresses are kanban steampunk stamps.

i used distress inks to colour the cards and the fabric to make the roses.

i used Tim Holtz stamps to make backgrounds.



kids christmas wreath

Scarlett's handy Christmas wreath

 i just added some handmade felt roses and ribbon.



kids christmas cards

Quick and easy cards to make with the kids. i really wanted to send handmade cards from the kids but needed to make 16 without Scarlett getting bored (as kids do) so last year i got out the colours, tissue paper, glitter and stickers and ask Scarlett nicely if she wanted to fill the sheet of paper (A4 x2 ) with colour. Which she did i also took photos as she did so on the back off the cards i could put a pic of her making the cards.



once dry i cut the A4 sheet into 8, then cut A4 card in to 2 and scored

 she also made them in blue

i did the backs on serif craft artsit

She really enjoyed making these cards and everyone loved reseving them. X

Hybrid scrapbooking

this is my page for my daughter Scarlett. i designed this page on serif craft artist then printed the elements to make up the page.

i cut the black frame out using the pazzles, i cut a nappy pin embellishment to thread it through the tag.

i also added gems to give it a bit of sparkle.

this is my page for my son Oliver, i also designed this page on serif craft artist. i decoupaged the trees, buttons, tag and photo i also added the ribbon.

first hair cut page. this was designed on CAP and i just printed out the photos separate.
i cut the title out on the pazzles and coloured it with distress inks, then added the charms and a lock of her hair.

walk in the woods page this too was designed on CAP i just decoupaged the buttons and photos.

i just added the tree stump and the owl .

colourful crafty storage

i have recently sorted out my craft room and decided i wanted to make my buttons and ribbons easier to get to as they were all in boxes so i couldn't see what i had.

i put all my buttons in cleaned baby jars and stamped with distressed inks onto some calico and some tags matching the colour in the jar.

for the ribbons i found some jars filled with candles for £2.50 each so i swapped the candles for ribbon and did the tags to match. (just need 5 more lol)
