Card Making | CAS Colours and Sketches 533

It's new sketch day at CAS Colours and Sketches...

I had a lot of ideas for this one! Up first is my official dt card...

This is a Time For Tea coverplate, Concord and 9th cardstock and a Simon Says Stamp thanks die.

My original idea was to use this Time For Tea coverplate and highlight just the centre motifs with inlaid pieces...

Again I've used Concord and 9th colours. I cut the whole plate in grapefruit and half each of nectar and sorbet. Of course this produced more than one cards worth of die cuts so...

I made a couple more with the leftovers.

These alpha dies are from Trinity Stamps and have a beautiful embossed line detail too.

There where quite a lot of the tiny hearts so the obvious thing to do was to make a shaker card. This is a flat shaker made with recycled packaging. The panel is an embossed coverplate (from Alex Syberia Designs) and I've also used the leftover larger hearts from the first card.

Hope to see you over at CAS Colours and Sketches!

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. ...
