Shape Series | Triangles

So this "month" I'm focusing on triangles. I'm so glad I didn't commit to doing this by the calendar month, I much prefer my free and easy months aka a few weeks and a bit extra or less... whichever. We've gone up from a one sided shape - circle, to two sided shapes - hearts, to three sided shapes. I'm not focussing on any particular triangle, I want to play with them all!

My initail stash search showed up a fair few dies, a handful of 'proper' rubber stamps from Skull and Cross Buns and a few patterned papers. I still need to look through my stencils as I'm sure I've got some triangle themed stencils too. My main focus is going to be using up my triangular shaped enamel stickers. I've got a few from various mixed shape packs and I've used them all except for the triangles. I'm not sure why the triangles never make it to the finished projects but this is the month that changes!

As far as sketches and cut files go I have a few to choose from with this one being my favourite...

I also fancy a play with this card sketch...

And this cut file...

Let's see what happens...

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...

(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. ...
