Book Folding

Hello Everyone,

I have been a little consumed  this past week with Old Book Folding, my little samples are very simple to do, there are some very amazing artists out there who make much more complicated works.

And this is a book page Wreath I made with a little help from Laddie, he made the squashed cones.

After having it hanging on the wall for over a day I was walking past it yesterday and noticed one of the cones was back to front, I have also rolled my cones too tight I think, but I'm reasonably happy with it.

I got the instructions for this from Jenna de Angeles. She has both a video and PDF instructions to download.

40th Anniversary

Hi,

I needed to make a 40th Wedding Anniversary card so I though I would enter it into the challenge over at Joanna Sheen's Challenge Blog where the challenge is "Love is in the air".

The silver paper I used to cut the frame and hearts has photographed a rather dull grey it is much prettier in real life.

The frame was cut with the Martha Stewart Punch around the page punch set Eyelet Lace.

The heart was cut with a Spellbinders die and the numbers with a Fiskars Template.

I had to use a peel off for the sentiment as I didn't have an appropriate stamp.

Thank you for taking the time to visit today.

These Boots were..........

...........made for walking but I'm not sure I could walk in those heels.............  :)

Hi Everyone.

I decided to go back to where I started with card making with this card which was Paper Embroidery.

I got some new Bookmark stitching patterns from Stitching Cards.com and decided to use the boot pattern twice on a card front instead of as a bookmark.

I didn't really like the pattern of the inside of the boots so just stitched the outside with a glitter metallic thread, I don't know why I chose that thread because I really don't enjoy stitching with it...........oh wait, yes I do it was the only brown colour thread I had that matched, and then I paper pieced the inside with some rather fancy double sided wrapping paper I picked up on special somewhere a while ago.

Some hand made flowers and a couple of ribbons and it was all placed on a mat made with the Martha Stewart Cherish Combo punch set.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and leaving a comment I love hearing from you.

Purple,Green and White

Hi Everyone.

I don't enter a lot of Challengers but I am going to enter this card into the challenge over at Scrapbook Boutique, where the challenge is to use Purple Green and White, using the this image as inspiration.

For my card I've coloured Tilda with copics, cut her out with one of the dies from the Couture Creations Victorian Rectangles Die Set, sponged some New Sprout Memento Ink around her while it was still in the die.

The butterfly is one of the Cheery Lynn 3 Exotic Butterflies die set.

The leafy branches are Marianne Creatables LR0150 and LR0151

Thank you for taking the time to visit.

Baby Boy Gift Bag

Hello, I made this little gift bag, which isn't my idea but the work of the talented MONI,

and used several dies to decorate it.

The pram is a Joy Crafts Die.

The puffy clouds are Memory Box.

The large flower is the Cheery Lynn Large Rose Die

and the border is from the Martha Stewart Eyelet lace Combo Punch Set.

On the back I have used one of the dies from the Victorian Couture Creations Nesting Dies .

60th Wedding Anniversary card

An Uncle and Aunt of mine back in Holland have recently celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary.

I've used tom and tilly from Mo's Digital Design and coloured them with copics.

I tried to colour them in the colour of the clothes they were wearing when I met them over two years ago now.

The flowers I made and the lovely paper is from Kaisercraft 6 -1/2" paper Pad Madame Boutique.
