Engagement card

Hi Everyone,

I love making romantic cards and there is nothing like a challenge when your son calls and asks you to have an engagement card ready for 9pm that evening. So I got home from work at 6:30pm had a bite to eat and got going on the card.

I used some gorgeous hammered shimmery card to make a tent fold card blank. Mat and layers are blue card and Graphic 45 12x12 spotted paper. The hearts are X-cut dies and the daisies are Woodware craft punches. A little bit of lace and there you go a very simple engagement card.

Until next time keep crafting and take care

Love

A Little Robin

Hi everyone,

Well that has been a weekend and a half. We have had our two grandsons staying since Thursday so things have been a little manic and not a lot of crafting has been done.

Tonight though I have manged to do two more samples for Personal Impressions to be used in craft exhibitions. That is a total of five, all using new Sweet Dixie Die's. They cut beautifully and make such gorgeous cards. Hopefully once I have the go ahead I will be able to share them with you. For now though I am sharing a couple of my own creations made with the Robin and Poinsettia die from Tattered Lace.

As you can see the two cards are very different which shows the versatility of the die's

I met with my lovely friend Linda, from Linda's Crafty Piece of Heaven today and she has encouraged me to start posting my makes on other craft blogs so I am going to have a go this week. Wish me luck ....... I'll keep you posted.

Take care

Bits and Bobs Box

Hi Everyone,

My goodness what a busy few days it has been, I have barely crafted and am now getting withdrawal symptoms so I have sat here all evening making a retirement card and submitting my samples for the Personal Impressions Blog. I do hope you get a chance to pop over there and have a look at our samples.

Tonight I am going to share a bits and bobs box my lovely friend Paula asked me to make her for her dressing table.

The photo's are not great I have to admit but hopefully you get the idea.

The products I used for this are:

Box from Hobby Craft
Wallpaper sample from B&Q (which covered the box beautifully)
Flowers from Tim Holtz Alterations Die - Tattered Flower Garland
Butterfly die - sorry can't remember the make as it is no longer in it's packaging and I have had it for ages

This is so easy to make and looks really pretty.

I am off to make a few Christmas cards now so will be back soon with more makes to share. xxxx
