Little Scottie Dogs

Here are three more of the samples which I made for Craftwork Cards to display this weekend.  All three feature the gorgeous scottie dog die cuts and Dolly Mixtures goodies.

I love the coat on this card:

Next I used a kraft card blank and lots of crushed Candi.

Here's a close up to show the detail:

Finally another kraft blank.  I cut away part of the front of this card and the tartan paper at the right is actually inside the card:

I used some kraft Candi on this card - I spotted it in clearance on the Craftwork Cards website and it's really nice so get some while you still can!

Pen Holder

Here are some pictures of a pen holder which I made from an empty coffee tin and some Dolly Mixtures products.

This is one of several samples which I made for Craftwork Cards to display on their stand at Alexandra Palace this weekend.

I love the little scottie dog die cuts - they work so well with these papers.

Mother's Day

I've made a card and a wreath for my friend, Tess the dog, to give to her mum.  First up is the card:

The card is made from a bird house blank to which I added lots of Chantilly Olive crushed Candi with a dot of Stickles glitter glue in the centre of each.  I used the Printer's Blocks stamps and Dusty Concord Distress Ink to create the 'mum' sentiment.

Here's a closer look of Tess peeping through the aperture:

The flowers round the aperture were part of the Bohemian Wreath kit.  There's enough flowers in a kit to make 2 wreaths but I like lots of layers on my flowers and used almost all of the flowers on this wreath. I did have a few spare though and so used them on this card. 

Here is a picture of the wreath:

In real life the colours are more like the close ups of the blooms below:

It doesn't show up too well on the photos but the finished wreath is shimmery and sparkly - I sprayed it with silver Spray and Sparkle.

Just for You

Here is a card which I made for a swap on a card group that I'm a member of.

I used a Sizzix die to cut a heart shape from kraft card and covered it with crushed Candi before spraying with Spray and Sparkle.

The wording was created using Printer's Blocks stamps and Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. I cut each letter out by hand and attached to the card with foam pads.  To finish off I added some seam binding which I had sprayed with water, scrunched up and allowed to dry.

Here is a close up of the heart:

Birthday Boy!

Here's a card I've made for a friend whose birthday is today.  I've used the Printer's Blocks stamps from Craftwork Cards along with die cut footballs.

Here's a close up of the letters so you can see how great these stamps are:

Finally a picture of the inside - I had to get the age in somewhere!

Happy Birthday Gary, hope you have a good day xxx

With Love

Here is a card which I made for a swap on a card group that I'm in. 

I've used a 6 by 6 kraft blank and added two hearts cut from Bohemian papers.  I scrunched up the front one and then rubbed over it with Distress Ink.

The wording was stamped with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink using the Printer's Blocks stamp which are my favourite stamps at the moment.  I crushed the Candi and stuck it on upside down using glue before adding pearls to the centre of each one. 

Doesn't the kraft card work well with the Bohemian papers?
