Triple Heart card

Hello Everyone,

I  hope you are all well.

I thought I would share this triple heart card I created using Dreamees Crafty Card Templates cd available at www.dreamees.org.uk

First of all the card is created using the heart shape on the cd, I printed these out at normal size then half size then quarter size to enable me to make the base card.

 I then drew around these shapes onto cream card and cut out each one,  After this I then cut each of the above templates in half which I printed on the white paper, then folded these in half so I could then create the fold on the main cream cards.

I then covered the base of each heart shape then glued these to the base of the large heart as shown in the following picture.

When attaching these hearts together make sure you have enough room between each one for the easel type card to be created.

Then going back to the first 3 templates ( which are now in half ) you printed out draw around these onto cream card continuing the top of the heart curve. Then decorate these 3 hearts as you wish, you can see in the last picture how I decorated mine using Dreamees  puffball, flower shower and ornate flowers and flourishes stamps, I then added Dreamees pearls to finish off.

I hope you have enjoyed this post and try it yourself.

This card is using our new stamp collection called Ornate Flowers and Flourishes, but dont forget it is members class event so there will be lots of fab prices so make sure you tune in to get the bargains.

Hope you all have a lovely day.

Take care Carol x

By the fire

Hello Everyone,

I am really sorry to have let all this time lapse before writing another post, the time has just escaped me and when I looked just now I couldn't believe it was September when I last posted.

Anyway here I am with a post this evening as we are on Create and Craft tomorrow (Saturday) with the lovely Natasha, with our new collection called By the Fire, I do hope you like it as mush as we do, there is so much you can do with it, of course you can do Christmas but we have tried to inspire you all to use this as everyday cards and projects as well.

I am posting a picture of one of the Fireplace MDF which Hayley has made up and it is really gorgeous, she will be demonstrating this on our show tomorrow so please try and tune in, its not to be missed and Im sure we will get to give this one away too so keep the e mails coming in.

I am now going to get my nails etc done so all nice for the show, then an early night as we have to be up a little earlier than normal tomorrow.

Have a nice weekend.

sunny sunflowers

Hello Everyone,
I hope you are all well, all fine here we have a busy weekend as tomorrow we have  workshops all day at Craftstation in Kirkby In Ashfield where we will be making fairy doors with the ladies. On Sunday we have 2 shows on Create and Craft the first being 9 am with the lovely Joanne, then the 1 pm one with Dean, Im sure they both will be fun shows and I hope you can get to e mail in always great items to giveaway.

My project for today is a double mdf heart I just adore this so much and it would be a really lovely gift for someone. The lovely new papers which are on the cd called Fanciful Fabrics are just gorgeous and they give you a lovely fabric effect when attached to either mdf or a card. There are lots of colours on the cd too, Im sure its a must have and will be used whenever you get your crafting out.

I have edged the heart with some lace and made a bow with the same lace which is divine, I have mounted the smaller heart on top of the larger one to add interest, then the new stamps are sunflowers so beautiful in a few different sizes. Also the sprig stamp has been stamped onto cream card and placed behind the sunflowers, I then finished with the sentiment stamped onto the mdf and then pearls placed on one side of the heart.

I hope you will be able to tune in for our shows we are so looking forward to them,

Thank you for taking the time to have a look on my blog I do appreciate it so much.

Take care and have a lovely weekend.

One Day Wonder

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all keeping well and enjoying the sunny weather just now.

We have been very busy with getting our first One Day Wonder all sorted for Create and Craft and I must say we really enjoyed the shows and it proved very popular which we are delighted about.

I must say as well I am fine now after feeling ill coming off air for the 4pm show, so Hayley had to hold the fort and do a show on her own I had no doubt she could do it and she did excellent I am very proud of her as always.

Right Im not sure if you saw the bundle but it was amazing value so I hope you treated yourself to it. I am adding a couple of pictures below of which I have made the Tyre and the wheelbarrow templates from the bundle, they are so easy to do also you get all the flowers etc to make all the templates look so pretty.
Here they are, also before I go we got a call today at 2 pm asking if we could do another show tomorrow so yes we will be back on your screens tomorrow at 2 pm with the lovely Andy Love. See you there.

Christmas in July

Hello Everyone,

First of all I must say a big SORRY for not posting lately, we have just been mega busy and although its perhaps only 10 minutes to do this it has been a struggle to set this time on one side, so here I am at long last.

We have been busy making Christmas cards and projects for our 2nd Christmas show for Create and Craft and its been so lovely, I feel in the spirit now and want to decorate up the house ha ha.

Anyway here is my card for today and the new projects are going to be on tv tomorrow exclusive for 1 month to create and craft.

This card has been made using an 8x8 card blank for the base in white, then a matt and layer of kraft card and a backing paper from the christmas cd bundle I have laid a strip of white lace across the card, then made a strip of kraft card and script paper again from the cd across the card also using this same technique for the flags on the top right of the card in 3 different widths.
I then printed and cut with a die the sentiment from the cds then using the Bud and Branches stamp set , stamped these flowers out onto red paper printed from the cd, using versamark ink pad and cosmic shimmer bright gold embossing powder, I used all the sizes of the flower  stamps

to then create 2 arrangements on the card, then added for the twigs some wired rafia  for interest. I then stamped the little postmark effect stamp onto the strip of paper across the card just to add the date for a little interest.

I also must add this last weekend it has been the Summer Crafting show, WOW what an amazing show, we had a great time met lots of  lovely people and was busy all day both Saturday and Sunday, also we did a live show for Create and Craft using our new Flower bundle which is amazing. So a big thank you to all involved in that too.

Right heres the pictures, Have a lovely evening.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
