I finally finished the "emigrating to Australia" card I've been wittering on about needing to do for ages! I'm not sure why it took so long to actually get done, but I'll blame the after-Christmas lack of mojo.
I used some clipart to make the Robo template of the Australia-shaped flag, it worked pretty well, even if some of the red bits on the flag were rather skinny and easy to lose....hmmm! Never mind, got there in the end. I used the Cuttlebug Stars embossing folder for the white background but it doesn't show up on the photo - of and the brad on the bottom right is a red and white one, not at all pink as it looks here!
Materials and Equipment:
Bazzill cardstock, red, blue and white
Bazzill cardstock, red, blue and white
Aussie flag paper from Craftz Boutique, Long red pin (Creative Treasures) with red ribbon , beads and pc generated banner , Brads are a mix of shapes and designs in red, white and blue , Craft Robo template, Cuttlebug Stars embossing folder
I seem to have been making New Baby cards a lot recently - I'll show them on here eventually ;) but something I can share is this little box. Inside is a tiny, baby-sized TT t-shirt. We bought it when we were on the IOM back in October ready for when the baby of one of hubby's motorbike-loving workmates arrived.
Materials etc:
Handmade box covered with papers by Little Yellow Bicycle. Bow made with lots of lengths of ribbon (I have a huge reel of this stuff), Large blue button, Stork charm from Creative Treasures, Nesties Die for tag
I had a bit of a disaster while making this. The little box I keep reels of thread and wire in "jumped" off the shelf above my desk - I caught it before it landed, but what I didn't realise till later was that the reel of my favourite very fine silver thread escaped - and landed in the open pot of bookbinding glue I was using......! I will leave your imagination to picture the mess hehehe
Just finished my DCM card ready for tomorrow - if you'd like to see that, plus the state of my desk by the time it was finished, please come back tomorrow! As I write this I'm trying to decide which of the things on my list I should tackle next.....Thank you for visiting, please leave a comment - it's always great to read them
Oh Kathy! I mourn with you over the loss of your silver thread :( What a shame!
ReplyDeleteLove your Aussie card, so much fuddly work gone into that.
Awe...a baby TT shirt? Now why is there no pic??? I would love to see its cuteness! The card & the little box are just exquisite & a lovely gift! xxx
Both cards are lovely Kathy and I particularly lie the ribbon flower.
ReplyDeleteWhoops to the box deciding to leave the shelf. I can picture the mess - and the naughty words you may have used! xxx
What a delightful little box Kathy. Lol at your wire in the glue, can't wait to see the mess :p
ReplyDeleteOH Kathy that is bad luck with the silver wire what did you use to fish it out with?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant makes as always though.
