Love you Sew

This is an idea from 
the Crafty Owl


These were my team swaps.....
I thought they made a cute card and gift combined


I love this new Hostess set
Love You Sew


Envelope Punch Board makes the indent
for the Bakers Twine


Button added from my stash, 
Gold Wink of Stella on scissors

confession : it wasn't until I saw this on Pinterest
that I realised the little cross stitch segments were heart shaped doh...

You could use a similar style for gifts of twine, or ribbon snippets

Have a good week

Look who's turned 5...

....Finally I got round to using my new
Large Numbers Yay!!!


Had Large problems with the light and my photography


so this might be a bit picture heavy...


I added Wink of Stella to the 5,
and some silver thread to the balloon


added some balloons and spare swirls to the inside..


I think I may have cased this from Kirsteen Gill....
my notes are as fuzzy as my photos!

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

Double Rose


Morning!

Had some gold foil petals I couldn't possibly throw away



So I added them to blackberry bliss and our thick whisper white cardstock,
gold embossing the sentiment.
Simple but luxurious.

Edited to add that Sarn reminded me of a pancake race taking place at
so I may pop in to see what's cooking !

Watercolour Rose Wonder

Happy Sunday!

Here's one I made for my Sister.


Die-cut the rose twice from gold foil sheets,
adhered to Shimmery white card,
and water coloured using aqua painter brush
and shades of yellow and green ink.


I added touches of gold wink of stella,
then painted clear wink of stella all over



I used the stamp to add a rose image to the inside and envelope
