Wonderful…

Hello

 I realised I haven’t shared this card which I made for a 21st a few days ago.

I am linking up to the current challenge at Seize the Birthday here

I used Penny Black wonderful coloured with alcohol markers. The grass is from SU thoughtful branches with a little masking.  I die cut the stamplorations “happy” and PTI “birthday” from the SU confetti celebration paper showing the emerald green beneath. The coloured panel is popped up with foam tabs and there is just a hint of glitter on the balloon.

Now to co ordinate the gift bag I used the same patterned paper and my gift bag punch board and made the largest bag.  It was a perfect fit for the present. Ms E used a bulldog clip to attach the card to the bag and also keep the bag closed!

I have been busy knitting.  I am almost finished sewing up Ms A’s jumper.  One seam to go.

I have knitted one dog coat for the lost dog’s home and started a second one.

I can’t take the credit for all of these…

One of the lovely ladies from my Wednesday library group knitted 4 dog jackets in a week! Thank you Margaret. I will take those in to the Lost Dog’s Home with mine.

Until next time

Cheers

More Penny Black Wonderful…

Hello

While I had Penny Black Wonderful out the other day I also created this Thinking of you card for a work colleague who lost her mother recently.

I teamed this with MSS Simple Salutations.  As you can see I used copics again to colour and the same patterned paper however instead of ribbon I used twine from True Hemp this time.

Today I had a day trip with Ms E (20) to Bendigo where we indulged at Bendigo Woollen Mills among other places.  We decided we need to return to Bendigo again to visit some places we just didn’t have time for and to go back to some we really liked browsing in.  I was really happy to visit the pottery and find the potter at work who I had purchased several pieces from 20+ years ago!  I now have his contact details for a couple of pieces that have been broken over the years.

Thanks for stopping

Cheers

Penny Black Wonderful …

Hello

I needed a couple of cards and thought it would be nice to show some of my older sets some love.

Today I am sharing a birthday card I made for a friend using Penny Black Wonderful stamp set coloured with copics and layered using SU Sweet Sorbet paper and SU Pool Party Seam binding ribbon.

I am linking up to the following challenges

Hello

Time has a habit of getting away from me!

The children are back at school/uni, I’m back at work and Hubby is back from his work trip but we haven’t sat to look at all the pics yet. There was only one sick with travel sickness out of the group of 18 students. They visited France (Paris, Versailles, Somme & Framelle), Belgium, the Netherlands (Amsterdam), Germany (Berlin) and Turkey (Istanbul & Gallipoli).

Anyway it has taken me a couple of days to get today’s card together. I was determined to have something creative to share this week.

Doesn’t this cake look yummy

Here is my card

I started by stamping my Penny Black wonderful image in Memento tuxedo black ink onto xpress it blending card stock. I coloured with various alcohol markers from Kaisercrsaft & Stampin Up. I layered my image onto Lifestyle crafts nesting lace squares cut from purple cardstock (unknown from scrap pile). This was then layered on to the card front. The ribbon is from my stash I added a sentiment from PTI tiny tags stamped with MFT Grapescicle ink and SU Perfect plum marker and die cut with co ordinating die. The flowers are punched from SU Itty Bitty accents and pushed down in the centre so the petals pop up, then finished with a spot of liquid pearls. I also added a little wink of stella to the centre of the stamped flowers which doesn’t show in my photography.

Here is another pic

I also have a finished quilt to share

This is a disappearing nine patch quilt. The fabrics were from the same range. The sashing/border is a different fabric and is also used for the backing fabric. The batting is a 50/50 bamboo and cotton. I was happier with my basting of this quilt than I was of the last one I completed see this post here. I did use some basting spray this time as well as pinning a lot more. I used my treadle sewing machine to complete the quilting in the ditch.  Hubby now has a couple to choose from to gift.
