Birthday Card

Finally back to doing a bit of crafting.  I started this card yesterday and finished it off this morning.







Whilst I’ve not been able to sit and craft I have managed a little handwriting practice (as I can do that in bed) and put it to good use here.



I’m entering this into Less Is More.  This week’s challenge is to combine three previous challenges.  I did a little more than three!



It’s a bit of a coincidence because I had designed this card in my head before the challenge was announced and just hadn’t got around to making it.








Week 4 – three squares
Week 9 – a touch of red (strawberry)
Week 26 – fruit (strawberry)
Week 28 – one layer, ink (pen and ink pads)
Week 33 – anything goes
Week 36 – one layer, heart
Week 43 – a bit of bling (glittered heart)

I'm also entering in to lollipop crafts - anything goes, my first lollipop entry.
and Creative Mondays - anything goes .
I’m off to write the card now so it can be delivered to my friend today!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
