Ten Minutes | Card Making

Yesterday the lovely Lisa from Lollipop Box Club challenged us to spend 10 minutes creating. As it happens I had a bit more than ten minutes to spare but I created whilst being aware of the time. Two 10 minute sessions and a further 5 or 6 gave me this card...

The first ten minutes was spent whizzing back and forth on my sewing machine. The a couple of minutes stamping with two old W plus 9 sets followed by ten minutes fussy cutting. Finally three or four minutes sticking it all together.

This morning I added a few sequins and photographed it, which probably took longer than I spent in total yesterday! I think the lessons learnt are create freely and mindfully, don't faff with sequin placement and the photography has to happen so just go with it!

I love this kind of sewing. It's pretty much the only kind of sewing that I can floor the pedal!

I was using this weeks Colour Throwdown prompt which is fabulously springy greens with black and white.

Thanks for stopping by!

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...

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. ...
