always time for tea

Hi!

hope we are all well.

Here things have been good. Summer has definitely kicked into gear and we have had some crazy hot days. Too hot to be blogging and not making most of the sun. So today when things are quiet and a bit cooler I am finally back to blog! woohoo!

This card was made for my gorgeous best friend who shares my love of tea. Yes im a committed tea drinker. I dont drink coffee, think i can count on one hand how many lattes I have a year but tea is my thing and I enjoy keeping my commitment up!!

For this card I used the awesome Grand Dome die from the Becca Feeken collection for Spellbinders. Its such a fabulous die and you will be seeing a lot of it and the rest of the collection this year!

I used Tilda from the Wonderland collection. When I saw her I just had to have her!!! Love this collection!!! I coloured Tilda with Distress inks.

The papers....oh the papers!!! They are from Couture Creations 'Enchanted Tea Party' and I will confess I have bought a lot of this collection. I just love it!!!

The dies are from Magnolia and I wanted a kind of enchanted garden feel. The Time for tea sign on the bottom right hand corner is from the paper collection.

Hope you have a great weekend.

New adventure

Happy New Year everyone!

Did everyone have a great Christmas and New Year? We had a lovely relaxed on, weather was fabulous (unlike today booo!!!) and it was lovely.

I am back with a new card to start this year off... I would like to enter it into the following challenges-

A little bit more time to craft challenge blog - Anything goes
International art and soul challenge blog - Add some sparkle
Sweet Stampers Challenge blog -Anything goes

So this card was made for my good friend who was moving into there very own first house...big year for her as her baby is due any moment so they got moved in end of Oct and got set up just in time.

This card I decided to make a spinner card. I also decided to not add an image to the card (!!!) i know!! big for me! I went for dies only.

I used  Magnolia dies on the card and for the centre cut I used a Spellbinders die. The little house is just adorable and came from one of their Christmas releases , think it was last year.

The papers are from Crafteezee and a company called Crafts and You. The lace and the gorgeous pink tutu is also from here. The flowers are from my stash.

I couldnt resist using the Magnolia fence post as a For Sale/Sold sign.

Finally, it had to be added...the cute as a button key dies from Magnolia...the little one is just so sweet.

Hope you have a great week and a very Happy 2019...with lots of crafting!

So for this card I decided that I wanted a kinda graveyard theme going on. I also wanted some movement in it so I went with my fave pendulum cards.

I coloured Edwin as a mummy with Distress inks. Now he sits on the pendulum top part so he rocks and looks like a mummy coming towards you. I used papers from Pion Designs 'Witching hour" which is such a fabulous collection....yes i bought more..... i couldnt resist.

I coloured the pumpkin with Distress inks. The owl is suspended on some clear acetate so he looks like he is flying and is also coloured with Distress Inks. I cut the gravestone stamped images out and layered them on double sided tape to pop out.

The bat diesand the spooky fence are from La La Land crafts - how fab is that fence! The grass along the border of the fence is from Magnolia. The toadstools edging the pumpkin is also from Magnolia.

On the pendulum part itself inside the card I used a Magnolia sentiment.

Hope you have a great week.
