I've been introduced over at Craftwork Cards...

Hi everyone hope that you are all enjoying this gorgeous weather we are having at the moment!  I know I should be out in the garden as its sooo nice but I've not been able to craft all week and I'm determined to get some done today!!!  

Over on the Craftwork Cards Blog they are introducing all of the new DT members and my intro was yesterday you can see the post here.  Still pinching myself.  Here are a few more photos of one of the projects I sent in on my application:-

I set about making a little book of all the "Things I Love" and indulged myself entirely on designs and elements that I just LOVE!  I made the book by folding in half some Craftwork Cards Elegant Rectangles that I've had in my stash for a while....

 and then just decorated each page as I fancied!

 Love birdies

 and a bit of chic and elegance...

 with added dimension and layers using gorgeous ribbon, doilies and crystals...

 and you can't forget the Candi!

 I also used my Cricut

 and adorned this page using different die cuts, a gorgeous mirror charm ribbon and bling!

Hope you've enjoyed having a look at my little book and I will be back later in the week to show you the card that I submitted.

Don't forget to pop over and have a look each day to see all the new members and their wonderful creations....

Right off to do some crafting...........

Craftwork Cards new Design Team

Hi to all my lovely followers, just can't wait to share some very, very exciting news with you all......  I've made it on to the Craftwork Cards new Design Team - O-M-G!  I'm still pinching myself - honestly I'm SO over the moon I can't tell you.  They had a massive response to the DT call and couldn't narrow it down to just 4 of us so there are 10 new members!  Read Julie's post here.

I'm so looking forward to getting to know the rest of the new team members - hello if you are reading this! (waving) - what a great start to the Bank Holiday weekend!

You all know how much I love Craftwork Cards products and I'm so looking forward to my first assignment for them - so watch this space.  In the mean time here are a couple of sneak peaks of my projects I sent in on my application....

Using new Craftwork Card blanks...

Hi everyone hope that you are all well....  I've had a busy few weeks with friends coming at the weekend to stay and then family coming in the week to stay so I've been busy, busy playing hostess!!  Did manage to squeeze some crafting in though and decided I wanted to have a play with these gorgeous new card blanks called Spring Fling from Craftwork Cards which I picked up at Ally Pally.  The cards already have pretty patterns on them and come in different colour packs - I had to have them all!  I love them!! So here are my cards:

For the card above I also used a new stamp set from Craftwork Cards - so pretty

For this card I used a stamp from WOW - gorgeous!

This card is is stamped using an old Craftwork Card stamp (the birdcage) that I have along with a new sentiment stamp (again another Ally Pally purchase!)

For this card I used a stamp set from the Girls' Paperie

So that is my little share for today.  Hope to be back soon.  Enjoy your weekends whatever you are doing and catch up soon.... until then....

Happy Crafting

Some Christmas Inspiration

Hi everyone - its a rotten day here in North Essex its been non-stop raining so far today - just managed to get my little Tilly out for a walk between the showers!  Anyway with Christmas coming up so quickly I've been making some Christmas cards using my lovely Craftwork Card papers in my usual clean & simple style (and of course those scallop card blanks).  Thought I would share a few with you all!

As you can see these cards were really quick and easy to do - (one of my fave way of doing cards!) and spechly made easy by the lovely papers from Craftwork Cards.

Happy Crafting.

Craftwork Cards Sketch 7 Challenge

Hi all

Here is the sketch for the next Craftwork Cards Challenge:-

and here is my entry:-

Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Here is my entry into this week's challenge over at Daring Cardmakers.


They have sponsors this week so there are prizes to be won! The sponsors are:-
Nikki Savils and Sarah's Cards. So to be in with a chance of winning, and to see all the rules click on the link above for the Daring Cardmakers.

I've used the new Blossoms paper collection from Craftwork Cards and the owl and sentiment are also from CC.

Oooh did you notice - not a bit of PINK in sight!!!

More Anglomania

I've just entered this card in to the Craftwork Cards Sketch Challenge 1 - Anglomania here. I really do love this paper collection!

Anglomania!

Good morning all, here are some cards I've made using the new Anglomania collection from Craftwork Cards - I confess when I first saw the collection on line I wasn't sure if I liked it - but the more I saw the more I liked it and so I placed an order.... and now actually having the paper set and die cuts I'm really lovin' em! And obviously it is very current for World Cup time! I also think in the future once the World Cup has been and gone, this collection will be great for any footie fan and so great for men's cards - and we all know how hard it is to make cards for men - LOL. Although you will see the first card is for a girl! and I think quite cool! The other two I've customised to make them for father's day too.

More Craftwork Card goodies Sugared Almonds

Here are a couple of cards that I made with some lovely Sugared Almonds goodies I received from Craftwork Cards - I just L-O-V-E their stuff!




Well the sun is shining and hopefully we are in for a nice day today (and hopefully a nice Sunday too - or is that hoping for too much!)

Hope you are all well.
