Fairies in a jar

Ta busy day today playing with fairies and glitter! My house, let's say is a little sparkly even my little yorkie Dora did not escape the fairy dust. I cut fairies with my Pazzles stuck them to the inside of the jar with ova glue then covered the outside with tissue paper added some iridescent glitter and finished with ribbon and embellishments. Then add a battery tea lite and It looks like you have a fairy in your jar.

Wedding Stationery

This is my Passion and the reason I started Paper crafting over 20 years ago.

Back in those days the crafting supplies where not as freely available there was no online buying But we managed. My first craft items where do crafts and I have never stopped buying them the stamp I used for this is Anita's

Mothers Day

Wow Mothering Sunday is early this year 6th March.

Flowers in a box



My first attempt at the little fold flat box cards they are quite easy to make. I think they are a brilliant concept for a card. I got the inspiration from blog hopping and Pinterest

Docrafts demonstration

well that's my first demonstration done. Although it was snowing when I travelled up to Perth this morning, there were plenty of Crafter's about buying lots of crafting goodies.

I did lots of stamping using the time capsule stamps and designed a couple of love birds from one of the shapes which most commented on. One gentlemen asked if he could buy it for his wife's birthday as she loved birds.

There were lots of people out for crafty goods to start wedding stationery.

I will be returning in February 13th I'll have the Xcut X press to show all the different card dies Xcut have and the demonstrate all the different looks you can get from them.

Just the Job

 

A fun card for someone who has just secured a job in a call centre I used a photo in craft artist turning it black and white and also giving it a sketch effect

Spellbinder Wedding

 

This card I used my Spellbinder Dies and cream card, I inked the edges and stencil parts of the dies with whisper Vanilla.

I love these dies they can be used in so many ways

 

Birthdays personalised

 

Birthday cards are always fun to create the on above I cretaed in Craft Artist using Inkblot Butterflies digi kit. the personalisation is in the endearment Muth as that is what I call my Mam and always have! where can you buy a card that says it all.

This card was created in Craft Artist too with a forever friend image from a very early do crafts CD agian this card is for a 39th birthday but who wants to be 39 when you can be 21 with 18 years experience

Exploding Boxes

I love creating these memory boxes for that special occasion and have a tutorial for these on my blog under tutorial Pretty little box if you would like to look.

I use lots of puches and also my beloved spellbinders to decorate the lid and sides

This one is made from 3 sheets of A4 card and measures 9 x9 cm

 

I also make bigger boxes but use my Pazzles Inspiration and 12 by 12 card

Doras Puppies

Here is Dora with her puppies all five they are now nearly 6 weeks old and all have forever homes. It has been hard work as we had to hand rear one until it was strong enough to feed from its Mum and then taking turns at sleeping down stairs with the Dora and her pups.

 

They are very cute and very curious and get up to all sorts of mischief we have had to make every where puppy safe its like having a baby around again. but I wouldn't have missed it at all Dora has been a really good mother and I'm not really looking forward to the puppies leaving I will miss everyone of them as they all have their own little characters.
