The Shabby Tea Room- week #206

Hey all!

Just a little entry post this evening as I've got a majorly bad headache. I decided to make my shabby tea room entry without a sketch today and I loved how it came out. This is the picture we were given.

We needed to make a card featuring baby blue, spring flowers and birds. Of course my designs being the way they are, it was perfect for me! I created this simple, yet elegant card.

Etsy: to be added soon.

MojoMonday 336 AND news :)

Hey everyone! 

I hope you've had an amazing week, sorry I've not been around much! I've been here, there and everywhere. First I'll tell you all my news! As you all know I've been try to see if I have a place in the crafting market and it seems I do! I've sold my first card on etsy and it's just been sent off to its new owner today! I've never been happier! I was dancing around the room and even ran down to my parents! Since then I have sold another, both Mother's Day cards.

Now I've made you all happy and warm inside, who would like to see a card? Here's the MojoMonday sketch we had this week, I knew what I would do as soon as I saw it! 

I had a lovely circle card topper from HunkyDory Crafts that was perfect for this card! So of course with Mothers Day coming up, another Mother's Day card was created. Include ribbon, twine and flowers and there you go! Here it is.

3D works- gift bags

Hey all, 

This is my second post for today! Just another quick one showcasing a little 3D gift bag I made from a papercraft magazine I collect. It goes with a shoe 3D card made by Jenny (http://jfroog.blogspot.co.uk), i will be making the shoe card soon too. However I changed the basics of the design but kept the colour (purple). Here's my git bag.

I don't understand why the lighting gave the bag black edges, but it does show the bag size quite well. It fits a small bag of sweets inside. I already have a recipient in mind for this, a lovely lady who is leaving my work place soon. She will love this. My bag is decorated with gems, flowers, rub one, ribbon and paper. The tag is a personal message to my lovely colleague, very best wishes. 

Pop around soon for more 3D work of mine, I'm enjoying it more and more!

MojoMoney sketch #335

Hey everyone! I've got a few posts to do today so sorry if you have an abundance of them! The first is my MojoMonday sketch. I can't believe we're on sketch #335 already! I decided to switch this sketch around a little and even use a different size card base.
Here is the original sketch.

I've added a doily and moved the second square to the bottom right hand corner to add balance. Anyways here you go!

New technique!

Hey everyone!

I decided seen as I was a little ill and busy this last weekend that I would make a few cards today. As of the moment I've only made one so sorry but this post will only have one card! Can you forgive me ;)

 Anyways I've been researching on Pinterest (CraftinEm if you want to follow me) about new techniques  to make my cards 10 times better! Then I found this! First I'll show you my card and then tell you about it!

                               

I found a video and a few card tutorials on how to make coloured and embossed background. So biting the bullet I tried it. First ink your embossing folder (the side which is not raised). Then press your card or paper in your embossing machine/die cutter and watch the magic happen! You will come out with a beautifully coloured and embossed piece of paper. Depending on the colour of ink you decide to use you can create a vintage background or a vibrant background. 

I decided to add lace and a beautiful red flower to make a gorgeous vintage card for when your thinking of someone.
