Vintage Car

Hi Crafters

I'm back to share another card today...  ....got to catch up somehow my 'to blog' folder is overflowing :)

This was ordered for a neighbour to give to her brother.

Hope you all have a great day what ever you are up to and see you soon,

Docrafts Papermania 'Bellisima'

Hi Crafters,
Hope you are all well and enjoying a little bit of sunshine in your part of the world. Recently I have been trying to shake off a virus which is a persistent little beggar and just when you think you are feeling better it rears it's ugly head again and knocks me back. This is why I haven't been posting on my blog as frequently as I have in the past, I just haven't had the energy or enthusiasm to create much. However, I still have orders to complete so I have chosen to use the new die-cut decoupage sets from Docrafts to help me out with my mojo. This new range is called Bellisima and is very subtle in colour and great for these three Mother's Day cards that I had been asked for.

Sorry about the light in this photo but one minute the sun was out and the next it was cloudy so it is what it is.

Here they are individually-

 



All the layers are already die-cut for you so it's just a case of pushing them out of the backing sheet and layering them up, then I added some glamour dust on the decoupage and various parts of the card to make it sparkle. The backing papers came in the kit too but I used various dies from my stash to make the frames and sentiment labels. I'm loving this little corner die from 'La La Land Crafts' at the moment, it's very dainty and looked just right for these feminine cards.
I'm entering these in to the challenge at TTCRD - Anything Goes.

Enjoy your evening folks!

Happy Birthday Grandson

Hi Crafters,
Another wet day here, so after my housework was done I went in to my craft room and made this card.

I have to say the red colour on this card is not as bright as it turned out in the photo, it's a cherry colour, but you will have to imagine it, lol. The dies are new and are a set from Rob Addams All Occasion Dies and they cut out perfectly. Here's a side view so that you can see the dimension on the card.

Sketch Saturday # 293

Hi Crafters,
Well I took some great advice from a bloggy friend and followed a sketch in the hope of kicking my Mojo in to life again.....and I think it's working! Thanks Linda.

 

Now I know I've taken the easy option of that lovely decoupage set of Wellington the Bear from Docrafts again but I have followed the sketch at...

Sketch Saturday - #293

...and I am entering this card for the challenge.

I used the decoupage from the sheet but this time I only used the matching papers for the banners. The beautifully embossed star card, which I Distress Inked with Faded Jeans, came from Lime Tree Crafts and I purchased this from Birmingham NEC last year. The faded type font paper comes from Hot Off The Press and I've had it in my stash for ages. I was hoarding it but sense prevailed and I thought it would look great with this combination.

That's two cards made for February, I have another nine to complete AND I'm now slightly behind with my 'One a week Christmas card' challenge that I am determined to stick to...   ...so I might see you all later with another post.

 

Bye for now,

 

Lorraine



Just For You ~ Nephew

Hi Crafters,
A warm welcome to all my new and existing followers and a thank you for your lovely comments here on my blog.
I haven't posted for a week it seems and I just don't know where that week went, I've been in my craft room but, alas my crafty mojo has spread it's wings and flown South for the winter I think.  I have lots of cards to make and my order book is quite full but I just can't seem to get in to it right now so I rummaged through my draws and decided to take an easy option of using a decoupage kit and matching papers from Docrafts.

Card Recipe

Docrafts Wellington 6 x 6 paper pack

Docrafts Wellington Decoupage sheet

Docrafts Papermania Capsule Collection Polka Dot Mini Buttons

 

Doesn't he look so squeezy and cuddly. I like the muted tones on this card for my Nephew and I placed three Docrafts mini buttons in the corner for interest.

I have a few more male cards to make for February, I think I might use this set again, unless of course, Mr Mojo returns soon.

I'm entering this card in two challenges:

Scribble And Scrap - Anything Goes

Through The Craftroom Door - Anything Goes





Hope you are all well, these wet dreary days can leave you feeling down, roll on Spring, PLEASE !

 

Bye for now

Lorraine
