Patchwork Pieces

For my VIP Group this week I used a new set of dies called

Patchwork Pieces dies along with Hey Chuck stamp set.

I loved using both these sets. They make such fun cards

to cheer up a persons day.

Great way to use up those scraps too as you just need two pieces

measuring 3 1/4" x 4 3/4".

I would like to enter these into

Craft Rocket - animals

Little Red Wagon - kraft

Ally's Angels - anything goes

Passion for Markers - dies and/or punches

Crafty Animals - feature an animal

Critter Crazy - feature a creature

Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Woke up early today so had a lovely walk around the lakes

in the SUNSHINE!

Bit tired now though 😂

Busy weekend for hubby as he has golf tomorrow

and helping out at a race on Sunday so

who knows what mischief I will get up to when he's out!!

Enjoy your weekend.

Paper Florist!

I did a tutorial over in my VIP group showing how I

made some flowers using foamiran and some in paper

with the die set Paper Florist.

The foamiran  flowers were quick and easy to make but I did not

have a nice white foamiran and the heat changed the colour of my ink

so think I will stick to paper/card.

The card above was made using the flowers and leaves that I cut from

the die set Paper Florist. It is jam packed with gorgeous dies

to make so many different flowers and leaves.

Put together with the Places in the Heart stamp set

it makes a really nice card for a new Mum.

We are off to Dublin in the morning to pick up my daughter

from the airport. We had planned to stay for a few nights

but the prices are ridiculous and I refuse to pay them!!

Seriously £500 for two nights bed, breakfast extra!!

It's only a 4 hour  return drive to airport so we shall do it in one go,

and stop off for a bite when we pick the girls up.

It's in the detail darlings!

As some of you know from my Facebook post,

I have finally retired from making personalised cards.

I have been doing it for just over 25 years now and did attempt

to retire when I turned 60 but stupidly did cards for some friends

who happily spread the word and I was right back

where I started.

So this year has been tough keeping up with them all and I think

when I took sick I had enough time to make the decision to quit.

I have since turned away 16 different orders even though they

know I have retired🙈

So I have about a week of orders to finish then that's me

FREE AS A BIRD.

I intend to spend more time on my Stampin' Up! and just

enjoying my crafty time with no pressure!

So today I have another card I made for my

VIP Group.

It uses a few scraps but is mostly CAS.

I have used a new bundle called Darling Details.

Sweet Songbird!

My VIP Video today is a sketch card

which also uses up those little scraps of dsp.

I have used the Sweet Songbird stamp set and matching punch

Songbird Builder.

The scraps, of which I still have loads 🙊 were very

useful for this sketch.

I put in a big effort today, showered and put some clothes on lol.

Finally beginning to see light at the end of the flu tunnel.

This is day 9 and it has been a long hard struggle to get here.

Hubby is at about day 6 so you can imagine 🙈

It seriously has been the worse flu I have ever experienced,

way worse than COVID.

Anyway hopefully that me on the mend and hubby close behind.

Take care out there!!

Day at the farm...

Happy Monday.

My card today is a tent fold swing card.

It is made for a child and I will add the age to the space in the centre.

Perfect for a little boy or girl who loves farm animals.

The animals have all been hand cut from the papers

and I used layering rectangles for the frames.

These papers are free with a £45 spend during Sale-a-bration!

I have left the back area blank so I can add a personalised

birthday verse.

This is the side view, showing the swing part in the centre.

I do have a tutorial over in my VIP Group.

Have a few orders to get sorted and as hubby going to golf

I have the day to myself.

Have a great week everyone.
