Two Twisted Cards

Good Morning Everyone.....

Well the sun is shining up here in sunny Yorkshire, doesn't it always put you in a good mood when the weather is good. We had a very busy weekend car shows, meals out, beer festivals and garden centres.... but sadly no crafting so I have set aside this morning while Phoebe is at nursery, to get some ideas together for my next class.

Before I start I wanted to share with you a double twisted easel card that I made for my sisters friend. I used the colours whisper white and pink pirouette, so it was really girly.
On one of the panels I stamped an image from the stamp set Forever Young, which I decorated with lots of gems. I must admit when i first saw this set I was too excite but now I cant but it down I just love it!!
On the second panel I made a scrunched flower using the blossom punch from the Summer mini, this punch is only available till the end of the month so get it while you can.

Inside I added the girls name which I stamped using the broadsheet alphabet set and cut out using the curly label punch.

Some coordinating ribbon, brads and designer paper finished of the look. 

I also made this card with my ladies in one of my classes but used a different colour combo of very vanilla & cherry cobbler. the ladies were very pleased with their finished cards.

Well I hope you like todays cards, off to disappear into my craft room now.

Lots of Love

Top Note Set

Hello Everyone,

Well I have finally managed to find time to log on after returning from our hols last week, which were fab. The weather was cracking and we even made it down to the beach a couple of days. I thought that Phoebe was going to explode with excitement when we got to Peppa Pig World she absolutely loved it, although after four hours of listening to the Peppa Pig theme tune both myself and Richard were thoroughly done in. How those guys manage to work there every day I don't know they deserve a medal!!

Anyway back to crafting, today I am going to share with you a gift set we made in one of our classes using the top note die.

This set was made using the colour comb Old Olive and Elegant Eggplant, a lovely mix I think.

The card was made by cutting 2 top note and joining them with a card in the middle. I made a little clasp to fasten it and decorated it using some old olive scalloped ribbon and a butterfly from the butterfly embosslet.

Finally I added a flower made using the fun flowers die, embossed the petals and added a coordinating button. 

The little bag was again made using 2 top notes which I covered with some paisley prints designer paper. The bag inner was made using have an envelope with a few clever folds. Again the bag was decorated using some coordinating ribbon, butterfly and a die cut flower. I added a little greeting and used the jewelry tag punch.

                                          

I hope you like this project, I have lots more to share with you from my recent classes but I will have to save that for another day as the ironing basket is unfortunately calling me. Oh well once through that I can start my prep for next weeks class yipee.

Lots of Love
