Meant to Be!

I have made a card today using the stamp set that

is up for grabs over at my Create with Pinky group on facebook

The stamp set is called Meant to Be and is full of different hearts

and lots of sentiments. So I wanted to show a different way of using it.

I have teamed it up with the gorgeous Brights dsp using

coastal cabana card, papers and ink pad.

The sketch I followed is from another group over on

facebook.

King of hearts

Time for another tag for Sandie's challenge at

Tag Tuesday

where she wants to see Kings or Queens or both.

I have gone with another image from my free Alice in Wonderland

pack. The king has been printed off, then coloured

and the same frame printed again and laid over the top.

I stamped some hearts around the frame using

Meant to Be stamp set and the quote has

been added via the computer.

Meant to Be Forty Shades of Green!

Happy Monday!

I have been making St. Patrick's Day cards

for my family who all live

in England and Wales.

So I like to remind them where they came from 😁

This one is for my oldest Brother.

It's called a Corner Fold card and a first for me!

I have used

Meant to Be

to create the shamrocks as I do not have a shamrock stamp!

The papers are from the

Ice Cream Corner pack.

The sentiment is computer generated

and has been punched out using

Oval Occasions Bundle punch.

The ink I used is called

Granny Apple Green

and I finished it with a little bit of gold thread.

So the noise is back in our area yet again.

From lockdown we have had Virgin Media

digging up the pathways then

we had the water board digging up the roads.

They then had to come back because they made a

mistake and now we have the gas people

digging up the roads again!

Seriously, I understand they have a job to do

but why does it have to start at 6am

and even go through the weekends as well!

The roads are in a total mess,

like a patchwork quilt and the noise!!😡😱

 

 

St. Patrick's Day Chocolate Coins Gift Bag

My tutorial today shows how I made

these cute little packages to hold

some chocolate coins for my Grandsons

for St. Patrick's Day.

It definitely won't be a 'get together' day again,

unless they allow us to meet outside!!

So I wanted to start making some little sweet gifts

for them which can be easily delivered to the doorstep.

Nothing much happening here other than crafting

at the minute. Got a new lampshade for my hall,

still have another few bits to finish but not sure

what to get and don't want to be dithering around

the shops!!

Stay safe out there, this is not over!

 

 

You melt my heart

This is another Valentine's Day card

for my two Grandsons next door.

It's only a little card - 4" x 3 1/2"

Had to be careful with my colours

as the eldest boy would not be entertaining

red and too many hearts 😂

I thought the sentiment from the

Sweet Ice Cream

stamp set was just perfect for Valentine's Day.

I stamped the lolly out using

bumblebee and blackberry bliss inks.

The strip of paper is from the

Ice Cream Corner paper pack.

I took the heart stamp from

Meant to Be.

along with the sentiment too

all stamped in blackberry bliss.

Snow hasn't hit us yet but is supposed to

be here by tomorrow.

It is icy cold out there and the winds

are building up!

Think we will stay put and maybe

go out to the garage for some exercise

in hubby's homemade gym 😁

Have a great day!

Meant to Be Valentine Gift Box

the most beautiful sunrise.

The skies were lit up with reds and oranges!

I know they say red sky in the morning, shepherds warning lol

but it was certainly worth it!

Meant to Be at Tag Tuesday

The theme at

Tag Tuesday

this fortnight was chosen by Wendy

and she wants us to use a photograph on our tag.

My daughter is constantly snapping photos of

our wee dog Squirt so I thought I would make

one for her to hang by her computer.

Think this is the first time ever I have made

a tag with a photo! I was going to go with a vintage image

but glad I decided to use Squirt.

He is getting old, and will be 13 in February.

But he is the best wee dog ever and absolutely no bother.

To decorate the tag I have used

pacific point card and ink along with hearts and sentiment

from the stamp set Meant to Be.

The sentiment has been punched using

the 1" and 1 1/8" scallop punches.

I would like to enter this into

Tag Tuesday - use a photo

Dream Valley - our 4 legged friends

The Paper Funday - anything goes option blue

We have a little bit of rain today

which I am hoping will clear this frozen snow

so I can get out for a descent walk

without having to yank the arm from my poor husband!

Birthday book card

I thought I would share one of the

commissions I made last week.

This one is a book shape with lots of layers.

The die is a tattered lace one and

I used my lovely new paper blooms papers to decorate

along with a few stamp sets:

Free as a Bird, Meant to Be, Make a Difference,

Oval occasions and Daisy Lane!

The main colour used was Rococo Rose

in the ink and ribbon.

Silhouette Scenes Engagement/Anniversary Card

Happy Monday!

Our challenge last week was to make a monochromatic project.

I hadn't inked up this particular stamp yet from the

Silhouette Scenes stamp set

so thought it would work perfectly along with a scrap

from the Plaid Tidings papers.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set and

I got the heart stamp from Meant to Be set.

Would make a nice Engagement or Anniversary card.

Hope you have a great week.

From Friday we are going into lockdown

for two weeks. The schools will remain open 

and shops are open for essential items only.

Let's hope this works!!

In-colours striped card

I have seen a lot of starburst type cards around Pinterest
and thought I would do a video of two that I tried for my
VIP Group.
(You get an invite when you shop with me)

Today I am sharing the striped one and

I have used the retiring in-colours for my colourways.

I did some white embossing for the sentiment.

A great card for using up those precious scraps.

I'll be back tomorrow with the other version I made.
