A Most Eggs-cellent Day (with video

 Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

November's Die of the Month from Spellbinders is all about Doing Brunch and features some very cute  characters! Although there are a few ready made sentimet dies, this set is definitely ripe for some imaginative puns of your own and I couldn't resist making one for a Dancing Fried Eggs card!

 

I used just the cute fried egg from the November Small Die of the Month club die set and added a little spiral wire spring behind each one before adding the my card. This simple mechanism means that if you flick one with your finger it will 'dance' merrilly!

My "Hoping your day is most eggs-cellent" message adds a pun to the fun!  It was created on my pc and just printed out in the size I needed and added to the card

Let's do Brunch

 Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

November's Die of the Month from Spellbinders is all about Doing Brunch and features some very cute  characters! Although there are a few ready made sentimet dies, this set is definitely ripe for some imaginative puns of your own! For this first one though, I used the 'Let's do Brunch' sentiment from the die set along with the various ingredients you need to a good brunch!

I added a fancy plate to put my brunch on, then decided to ech the shape by making the card base into a 'rocker' - nudge it and the card rocks from side to side.

All the card used here, apart from the white card base is from the 

 Full 48 ColourWheel Cardstock Pack 8.5" x 11"Spellbinders 

 

The circle and scalloped circle dies I used for the plate are from sets I've had for so long I can't remember where they came from - I think either Spellbinders or TonicI think this would make a cute little invitation card, maybe for taking your Bestie for a Birthday Brunch

Here's Looking at You!

 Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

It's Spellbinders Club time again, and as Christmas in Julyis all over we're heading to the sea for August - or should I say under the sea

August's Small Die of the Month  features the loveliest set of undersea items - there are fish, coral and even a couple of cute divers - because you always have to have a Dive Buddy!

I've also used the beautiful Glimmer of the Month set; the gorgeous background plate, the pretty Speckled Prism foil and one of the two sentiment plates

This is a diorama style card so has an extra hinged layer in the centre to give room for one of the divers and some tiny fish to move inside the card.  However the hinges allow it to be folded flat to fit into an enve;ope

 

The movung elements are attached on silver twine - I cut some of the pieces twice so that if they rotate fully they have a back view too

I started by making the basic pieces of the box card, then added the Glimmer 'bubbles' foiling to the back section. 

For the porthole window I've used Tina Smith's Coastal Escape View Die set

I made lots of little fishies and attached them with foam dots, and a second diver who looks as though he's waving through the porthole 

I kept the fron ot the card plain and just added a Glimmer sentiment and a few dewdrop 'bubbles'

All because he Loves ....... Maltesers!

 

   hi there

Yes! Another a midweek blog post - are you shocked?

Once again I'm heading back to February for this birthday card made for my Malteser-loving hubby.  

Honestly the things I let myself in for! Especially as I had to make this with him in the same room as we share the study and he's working from home of course!

 I won't even try to explain how I made this as it was very much a "Let's give it a try and see what happens" kind of thing!

It's got a pop-up 'box' inside it, and although its  not a box but a flat image, I cut the lid shape carefully so that it lifts up to reveal a Maltesers image underneath.

 

 

Basically, its a lot of layers and plenty of printed images.

Hopefully the pictures will give you the idea of how it works.

 

 

Materials:

Glossy photo paper for printing images 

 White, Black and Kraft card

Alphabet die set

 

 That's all for today, thank you so much for visiting, I hope you'll leave a comment, You've no idea how happy it makes me when someone leaves a message, and I'd really love to know what you think of this one!!

Happy Crafting, and Stay Safe,
