Friends

The group I belong to Penny Flowers Craft and Chat

had a card swap with a friendship Theme,

the criteria was, make a card with something that points to the meaning of FRIENDSHIP..  

This is the card I made for my swap partner... good friends are like a comfy pair of PJ'S.

The stamp is Art Impressions "Girlfriends" which I coloured with copics.

The dies I used are the:

Poppy Stamps - Grand Madison French Doors

Cheery Lynn - Flourish leaf strip

Impression Obsession - Tiny Flowers

Impression Obsession - Layered Floral set

Memory Box - Typewriter - Uppercase.

Downton Abbey

Here are some Downton Abbey cards I designed for Fat Cats Card Corner.

The dies are Crafters Companion and I'll list the dies used below each card.

Sue Wilson Swiss Background
and the Delicate Hearts embossing folder.
the leaves are Sue Wilson Laurel Leaves, flowers made with the Sue Wilson Petite Peony cluster Die

Only one die used for this card and that is the Sue Wilson Swiss Background, a beautiful die set.
A bit of lavender flowersoft and a piece of ribbon to finish.

I cut an aperture from the plum coloured card and then embossed it with the Downtown Abbey embossing folder.The flower display I made with the Impression Obsession bouquet set.

This time I have heat embossed the Thistle EF with gold embossing powder onto green card and cut it into three sections.
Image I used is one from the Downton Abbey Die-cut Toppers A4 set of 2 sheets

Downton Abbey Classical Edge Die
Downton Abbey Thistle embossing folder.
Cottage Cutz 3D Flower 4

After cutting the Classical Edge Downton Abbey dies.
I stamped the Teapot and cup and saucer set from the Time for Tea Downton Abbey Stamp set into position and heat embossed them with gold, I then added glossy accents to them I also used a couple of pieces from the Downton Abbey Die-cut Toppers A4 set of 2 sheets and I hand cut a few embossed thistles from the Downton Abbey Thistle embossing folder.

Downton Abbey Classical Edge Die
Downton Abbey Time For Tea stamp set
I coloured the tea pot and cup with a Prisma pencil and added some gold heat embossing.

A Baby and a Droid (Card)

I had a request for a baby card, sex of baby not known, which makes it difficult to come up with a colour scheme to use, the last one I did for the same lady I did in lemon so my choice this time was lavender.

I used a Nellie Snellen pontura card from which I cut the front and layered it onto the lavender card, white, lavender and finally the white card base.

The welcome banner is a Joy Crafts Die, the little flowers are from the mini EK Success Retro Flower Punch.

The next card request was for either a Star Wars or Ninja theme, I went for Star Wars and found an R2D2 colouring image on the internet which I coloured with my copics, I added some balloons cut with a free die that came with a craft magazine, the background is the Couture Creations Entangle embossing folder.

Fat Cats Card Corner Designs

Although I haven't been posting very much, there have been quite a few cards made and below are two that I designed for Kaaren at Fat Cats Card Corner.

As usual the dies and products I used will be listed below the pictures of the cards.

Lace Edge Verity Rose Crafters Companion Die
Sue Wilson Laurel Leaves 
Sue Wilson Happy Birthday
Sue Wilson Fantails embossing folder
Cheery Lynn Sweet William Strip
Cheery Lynn Lace Corner Deco B

Squeezed lemonade Distress Ink

I started by cutting a Georgia die cut out and using it as a stencil and sponging shaded lilac distress ink around the edges of the background, then added that same stencil piece to the background and added a SW Bow and SW Orange Blossom leaves and flowers from the Cheery Lynn Chrysanthemum.
Sentiment is Impression obsession

Allietare Quilt

The Allietare quilt is now all quilted, which I did on my Janome 7700 and is finally finished.

It was my very first Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt and probably wont be my last, I enjoyed the process that much.
