Jam Jar Cards

Hello everyone out there in Blogsville.... Hope that you are all fit and well!  Its yet again been a long time since my last post - must try harder!!!

So I thought I would drop in today and share some cards I've made using products from Craftwork Cards. As some of you may know I'm very lucky to be on their design team and have been sent such a wonderful selection of products to play with.

Here are some cards I've made using the sweet Jam Jar card blanks - found here and also papers from Black Magic Goodybox here, the Macaroon Goodybox here and also papers from the fab Tea Dance collection found here.  

Hope you like my little creations

 I was inspired to make this first card from the row of glass jars that I have on a shelf above my craft desk - with you've guessed it - sparkly crystals!!  You know I can't help it.......

 With this card you can just about make out in the photo below that I cut a piece of acetate to cover the front of the card so that my sentiment sat on top of the little hearts.

 Think I might have gone just a little bit mad with the Liquid Pearls...... LOL

So that is it for me for today, I hope to be back posting again soon.

Take care everyone and enjoy the rest of the sunshine and thunderstorms!!  Until next time...

Happy Crafting

Craftwork Cards: New Tea Dance Collection....

Hi everyone just popping in today to share with you all something that I've made using the fabulous new Tea Dance Collection my full post is over on the Craftwork Cards Blog found here.

So this is what I made this weekend....

Still with me?!!! LOL I know lots of pics but I don't know about you, but I love lots of photos - I love to see those close up details and there was so much going on with this that I wanted you to see!!!

Obviously you can see its three squares which spell out Home Sweet Home.  I've deliberately not tied them together - initially so that I could take individual photos, but then I decided to leave them separate so that they could either be stuck to three pieces of board or canvas and could be placed either horizontally or vertically whichever takes your fancy!

So I hope that you have enjoyed my little share today.

Until next time...

Bunting

Hi everyone thought I would share a little DT project I've made using new Craftwork Cards Bunting kits.  I decided on the wedding theme - here are some photos - I hope you like!

 a couple of close ups....

I had great fun making this bunting.  The kit with the bunting is from Craftwork Cards, as are the flowers. The letters I cut out using my Cricut machine using the Sophiscated cartridge.  

So I hope that you like my little share today.  Will be back again soon, but until then...

Hi everyone just popping in today with a quick share of a wedding card I've made recently... something a little different..... what do you think??

 I had this idea in my mind a few weeks back when I made another card using the Scottie Dog template and really wanted to put my idea to the test and I'm really pleased with the results (if I do say so myself - LOL).

A lovely weekend away last weekend..... and some family birthday cards

Hi everyone hope that you are all enjoying the lovely sunshine we have been having this weekend (at last!!!) - I know I have - took Tilly for a walk on the beach yesterday early morning and it was lovely!

Hubby and I were away last weekend at my Aunt and Uncles in Basingstoke.  We had a fabulous time with them and also with all the family that came down on Sunday for lunch - there were 16 of us in all!!  It just so happened that it was my Aunt and my cousin's birthday's last week so I took with me the cards I had made for them.  I've not blogged for a bit so thought I would share the cards I made for them here on my blog...!

So that is my little share for today.  Be back again soon.  Until then....
