18 TODAY


I saw an appeal on Facebook for birthday cards for a girl who is terminally ill.  I made her this shaker card...


I didn't line up the front of the card very well so I added a piece of lace across the top.  I like it and kind of wish it had been part of the design from the start!!

The sequins are from SpiegelMom Scraps, lace from Crafty Ribbons and the rest from deep in my stash.  Here is the how-to:


Thanks for stopping by!

    Hi Laura. I came across your cute card on you tube today, I love shaker cards and yours is beautiful. I was wondering which dies you use to cut the number 18 out with?

      I use my silhouette cameo to do all of my cutting Lisa. It's a big outlay at the beginning but I wouldn't be without it now.

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.

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.   ...
