Card Making | Label Love








I made a scrapbook sketch (here) a while ago that had a load of labels and banners on it.  I'd thought at the time that this concept would work quite well for a card too.  I now make card sketches too (follow here so you don't miss any!) and it was time for a bit more label love!


I had a good old rummage through my entire stamp stash pulling out any set that had something that might work.  Most of the label stamps are from Skull And Cross Buns Planner Banners set along with one freebie that came with a magazine and one larger stamp from StickerKitten's Mermazing set.


The sentiments came from various Skull and Cross Buns, StickerKitten, W+9 and Feed Your Craft stamp sets.  (Ask if you want to know where a specific stamp came from!)  For inks I went neutral on one card with various warm greys from Altenew mixed with Faded Jeans.  On the other I went Cracked Pistachio because it's my favourite!


I popped the blue banner up on foam pads for dimension and embellished both cards with sequins.


I carefully covered the main banner on the cracked pistachio card with a clear shimmer pen.  I ran the risk of reactivating the ink by adding liquid over it and ending up with a messy smear.  Just one sweep over the ink was enough to add sparkle but not to have the ink bleeding so the writing became illegible.

Linking up at Inspire Me Monday

WOYWW 159

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 up in the corresponding g

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.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
