Hello
Just a quickie today as I'm determined to make some time to do some crafting. Here's a little something I'm going to do as a class next month at Chertsey Museum.

Enjoy the weekend, we have an extra day here in the UK so bonus crafting time!

Thank you for taking a look xxx

Cheers

Hello
I'm still sticking to my resolve to use all the bits and pieces I have hoarded over the years or clear them out. Next up something for the beer lovers.

I had lovely inky fun with this and it's renewed my love of Distress Oxide inks. Might need to get a few more colours or the reinkers...as a little reward for clearing out old craft stash of course!

Materials used:

Apple Blossom embossing folder: beer words

Apple Blossom die set: beer bottle and glass

Distress Oxide ink

Embossing with Gelatos

Hello
A quick one to start today as I realised that this one slipped by without me posting. Although it's a Mother's Day card, with a change of sentiment it would fit many occasions.

First I scribbled on two pieces of card and blended the colours with a damp baby wipe.

Then I coloured an embossing folder using the lighter colour first. I did both sides and then spritzed lightly with water. 

I put my coloured card pieces back to back in the folder so that I could emboss both at the same time, ending up with one side embossed and one side debossed. There was still some colour on the folder so I spritzed again and ran two pieces of white card through. 

 

Using a different folder I embossed and die cut some flowers and used the pieces to build up the card, adding some string, gems and a sentiment to finish off.

 I had enough pieces for two cards so one for my mother-in-law as well!

I know that a lot of the world celebrates Mother's Day in May so there's still plenty of time to be inspired. Take a look at The Craft Barn blog for more ideas here...here...and here.

Thank you for taking time to look. Don't go away - there's another post coming!
