A Card from Offcuts



After my Monkey World Mini Album I had a fair few scraps of coordinating paper left over.  Some got put back in my scrap paper wallets ordered by colour and some made it on to this card...






I've lost the love of making cards, I'd much rather be scrapping or making other 'off the page' creations, but I'm pleased with this card.   It's literally strips of offcuts scattered on a card blank with a rub on added.  Simple.

Love it.

    . . . and those scraps (snippets) work REALLY WELL on this card. It's GREAT. Just shows you what colour co-ordination and a nice sentiment can do. I regularly enter snippets cards over at Di's Pixie's Crafty Workshop blog - there's a lovely prize to be won if you're interested in coming to play this week! Very friendly bunch.

    What a neat card. I often sit and look at my various off cuts and haven't a clue what to do with them.

    YAY . . . you entered over at the Snippets Playground (I'm just catching up with commenting). Sadly I haven't found time to enter anything this week . . . but I think I'm allowed to skive because Di is away on "teacher training"!

    Apologies for being late in getting, Laura. Actually, I admired your card in passing but I'm up to my eyes in packing and thought I'd come back later to comment ... well, I have, an awful lot later :( You can tell you are a scrapper, the scraps are pieced together beautifully. Elizabeth xx

    Hi Laura, It's lovely to meet you. Saw your pretty snippety card over at the Playground, (lagging behind in my commenting I fear). This is such a lovely design & use of your slivers of dp. You really made maximum use of these bits to create a beautiful card. Just joined as your newest follower & hope you might find time to visit me, and get better acquainted. Welcome to the Playground. Looking forward to seeing lots more of your work TFS

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.   ...
