New Home Card.

I made this New Home card for the Craftwork Cards Ribbon challenge...


I used all of their wonderful products (the only additions being the Kraft card for the floor & clock, & the wire for the curtain rail).  I cut up & inked one of their frames for the window, cut up one of their flowers to make clock hands, made a 3d chair from 2 scalloped circles & even made a tiny cushion from ribbon wrapped round some 3d foam! 

I also decorated the inside of the card with some of their card & die-cut flowers...





I think the ribbon made very cute little curtains & I'm sure I will be using this idea again!

All Sorts of Hearts & Flowers!

Here's my card for the Allsorts "Hearts & Flowers" challenge...

Bazzill Kraft Card; Queen & Co brads; SEI Rub-ons; Papercraft Inspirations heart stamp; Tim Holtz "Walnut Stain" Distress Ink; Krafters Korner wooden Heart (inked with Colorbox Maroon Chalk Ink).



I inked the wooden heart with maroon chalk ink & I mounted the flower rub-ons onto craft card & attached them to the card with some folded acetate...



I have to admit this one was a bit of a challenge... firstly, hearts & flowers TOGETHER...hmmm....just not my thing, & then I decided to make things complicated with the acetate... those flowers just wouldn't sit right!  Got there in the end though!

Match Point!

Daring Cardmakers challenge this week was as follows...

"What's the Point?  I'd like to see cards featuring points or pointers of some kind - the hands of a clock, arrows, pointing fingers, view-points, pointy stars, pointy ears (hehe), pencil points.... maybe pins and needles could also be incorporated into your designs."

Well, I happened to be listening to the tennis on the radio & ended up with this card...


Doodlebug paper; Copper Gelly Roll Sakura Pen; Jolee's tennis racket & ball; docrafts fabric topper; K&Co ribbon.

Might be stretching the brief a bit with this one!
