Sew Many Thanks

I made some treat bags

 (they actually look like one sheet of paper)

and some tags 

with one of the new Hostess sets

in the spring/summer mini

called Love You Sew

I actually hacked carefully cut some of the words

so that I could interchange them with others 

without the faff of trying to ink part of a sentiment

These were little gifts for my customers who ordered last month

and made the most of the current Sale-a-Bration 

free gifts and special offers

Have a wonderful weekend

Happy Crafting

Butterfly Blues

Hello

and

Happy Birthday

to a lovely lady today.

I don't often get chance to post ON the day,

but here's one made with the FREE (oops, shouldn't have told her that!) vellum I got,

that's absolutely gorgeous!

Her favourite colour too,

all lovingly coloured in on the back,

and I coloured one in and fussy cut to lay on top.

Hope she had a fab sparkly day!

Wonderful Wednesday Wishes

Workshop Wonder

Hello everyone,

and a VERY special Hello to my new followers,

thank you for your support!

I was a very lucky birthday girl recently,

and was able to attend one of Eileen Godwin's Workshops.

A great big thanks Eileen for the inspiration for my

swaps for team training recently!

Can you tell what it is yet?!

Here's a pile of 'em

One of the tags inspired by Eileen

A closer view

Just to show the scale.....errrrr not very big!

I made tags because there was a lot of us in the swap.

(probably took me longer than if I'd done a card!)

Took some watercolour paper,

a jar from About The Label, stamped and embossed,

butterflies from Perpetual Birthday Calendar, also embossed,

then watercoloured the jar with inks,

tied some twine around it's neck, added a label,

then Butterfly Basics provided the larger butterfly with a Rhinestone.

Mounted on two punched tags....Scalloped Tag Topper, and Note Tag.

I will show you the delights from Eileen's workshop another day.

I hope you have a fab week,

and hopefully lots of crafty time.

Stamp-a-ma-jig

Here's blue on white, and white on blue.

First stamped blue on white card,

then using the stamp-a-ma-jig to help line it up,

stamped white ink onto blue card.

Take away s-a-m-j, and glue in place lining up the trees and horizon.

Added snowman (ok, you can see where my first attempt

failed, so I had to cut another and stick on top!)

Some snow, and glitter finished it off.

Just wanted to show that the clear sheet from the s-a-j

can be used to help position things without the handle.

Hope midweek finds you well

Class act

Happy weekend everyone,

thanks for stopping by.

I thought I'd show what we did in a recent class

with coordinating projects

in Coastal Cabana

A box of tags courtesy of Pootles

using the scallop tag topper punch,

petite petals, and sentiment from a current free set

Then our new Curvy Keepsake box die,

with one of it's tags cut from glimmer paper

Plus the card you may have seen on the previous post.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the tiffany style projects.

I also shared some of the same projects at a workshop,

and here's some more examples of the different styles.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

and I hope to be back soon.....

lots to share!
