Criss cross card

Hi Everyone,

Vintage birthday record book

Hi there,

Today I have put up a tutorial on my you tube channel for a gorgeous vintage birthday record book.  You can make it as a simple little mini album if you wish though ,it is really easy to make and takes a minimum of time to create but looks stunning. .  Great for a christmas or birthday gift.
I've made mine just for myself....how lucky am I!!!!??  Makes a change to do things for myself! now I can record the dates and names on the inside pages for each month and use the tags to write down any gifts I buy through the year so I don't duplicate presents...when the tags are full I can just make some new ones.

 

 

So here are some photos and a list of materials I used

I also used

Brush corduroy and old paper distress inks by ranger.

 

Stand up card

Hi again,

Here are some photos of the card which I have done as a you tube video tutorial.  It is a card which has a built in stand so will look really great when your friends and family display it at christmas.

I used some Visible Image stamps to decorate it and Kay and co paper, seam binding for the bow is from ribbon girl.  The die cut for the foliage and holly sprigs is a Tim holtz alterations die called festive greenery. I also stamped the Vintage image trio's script on some plain paper and matted on the back of the card (which is on the base as it stands in the picture).
The stamps are available on the Visible Image web site.......
Vintage image trio and the vintage santa

And here are the photos of the finished card...

Prima Romance Novel Mini album...just me me!

Woo Hooo,

Well have finally finished my Mother and daughter album at long last.  I am really pleased with the way it has come out and showcasing the gorgeous Prima romance novel papers has made it very special.  What a brilliant line this is lots to cut out for journalling and pockets, tags and tabs and a wonderful mixture of soft romantic roses and rustic bikes and typewriters, but it works sooo well  together. I bought the case at TK Max as it goes so well with the papers, so the album will be well protected inside.

So here a some photos and a link to the you tube video which shows it fully if you are interested. Link here

 

HAVE A GREAT WEEK

WOYWW

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't posted on WOYWW for ages...just seem to be sooo busy.  Have been away quiet a bit mainly to Florence in Italy to see my daughter who is working as a nanny out there at the moment.  It is a good excuse to go out to one of my favourite places though!!

We went out a couple of weeks ago to celebrate Hannah's 21st birthday....

 

So to my work desk.... still struggling on with my Prima romantic novel Mini album but have almost finished it now....will post a video of it as soon as it is finished.

Meanwhile here is a halloween album  link to the you tube video here

Crafty Individuals drop front storage box

Hi all you crafters,

I have posted some pictures of the finished storage box that houses the crafty Individual stamps.

There is a you tube tutorial on my channel here if you would like to make one for your own stamps.

 

Decoration wise I have used two of the Crafty Individual stamps... CI 338 and CI IRS 148. The flowers from wild orchid crafts and Hobby Craft and the papers are Crafty Individuals background papers 'book 7' (shades of summer)...they are very pretty papers.

Pop up card

Hi everyone,

 

Here is another of the Large pop up cards using a Crafty Individual stamp and their shades of summer background paper pad.  I also used one of the crafty Individual masks on the front with some acrylic paint.  The chip board embellishments are from K & Company - amy butler chipboard pieces.

The tutorial for the construction of this pop up can be found on my you tube channel here.
I also have a tutorial for a smaller version which goes in a C5 envelope here
