Starry and Blue



Can I mention the C word in July?!  It seems that crafters are the only ones who are OK with it... everyone else shouts or tuts!






Here is my first Christmas card of the year.






I stamped and embossed this Christmas sentiment.
'May the love that was born that Christmas night light all your days with joy and hope'
And then masked it off.





I have used my newly acquired cut n dry and some cyan ink pads to 'blue up' the card stock and then randomly stamped stars.  I also used a white in pad that is really pearly and shiny.






I'm going to link this card up with:
Lollipop Crafts - Christmas in July
The Crafters Cafe - Christmas in July - Non traditional colours
CASE study - Layout, stars and colour inspiration
CASual Fridays - 'Text Me' 


Thanks for stopping by!

    Your FIRST Christmas card this year????? Eeek!

    I have a "Rudolph Day" challenge each 25th of the month on my blog (lasts a week)to encourage fellow crafters to make festive cards throughout the year so they are not rushing around at that busy time of the year. You're welcome to join in.

    Anyhoo . . . back to your card . . .it's beautiful. I love the colours and the sentiment.
    Hugs

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.   ...

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...
