Critter Crazy challenge- 100 birthday bash - birthday cards with critters.
 

just playing around

 

managed to find a little time to craft- me time seems to be getting less and less. it's winter here in tasmania and whilst I'm not a fan of the rain it would be a good time to get some crafting done.

As you can see the above double z-fold still needs to be finished .  Do I add some green leaves poking out from the flowers or just leave it. I think once I add a sentiment to the front that might just be enough.

A new die 2

 This was another die from inlovearts . I also used their swiss dots embossing folder for the background. so you get the branch , the bow and the tiny dots in the set.

this die is Inlovearts Olive Branch Cutting Dies

A new die

 

If you have ever watched Lucy Patrick making cards with dies like this from Inlovearts feature a lot. .Lucy makes some lovely cards with their products.

I have recently got some of their dies and an embossing folder.

I made a couple of cards with this die above -  I'm not sure this is my thing- after I put all bits in place I really wasn't happy and put them both through embossing folders- liked them a bit more, but now I have made two cards that's it for me  not something I would keep making.Any ideas ?

The die is called Inlovearts Circle and Geometry Shapes Background Cutting Dies

paper ? not quite

I thought I had picked up some patterned papers from my local charity shop - turned out to be stickers. I know washi tape and pet stickers are very popular at the moment .

These two dark cards were transparent stickers, sadly only one sheet but it made two cards.

The other sheets all had white edges but I added them to white card so it's not so bad -  the sticker sheets cost $1 for the pack and will make about 12 cards so pretty cheap to create.

 

some bunny

It's only one little card but I hope I can get back to crafting after the floor upheaval. Things are taking shape in my little craft space, little being the operative word here. I will always be envious of you lucky people who have space to spare.

 I thought this might make a good valentines/ anniversary card cos we all need a little love. The cup is green but it was so sunny it's hard to see, inside the bunny ears are pink.

Passion for Markers week 782 - anything but a birthday-  

No floors

The  past few weeks have been a bit horrible. Our old house continues to throw problems are way. To be honest this latest problem was caused by shonky work done prior to our buying the house. We had floors which were uneven when we moved in and this got steadily worse until my foot went through the floor. Fearing the worst and a very large bill was about to come our way we were happy when the problem was the wrong boards put down before. It was actually very dry under the house and no rot present. On the downside one outside wall had no support and was sagging - lots of concrete- new supporting beams and jacking up to ger things a bit straighter.

So two bedrooms have had the new floors and it was a perfect opportunity to get in there with a paint brush and smarten things up. All the bedroom furniture, my craft table and supplies and carpets have been sitting in our lounge room , our dining table is in the garage so there has been no space or place to craft.  I have bought a few new crafty bits but I have no idea when I will find some me time to craft..
