Pumpkin Patch...

 Good Afternoon,

It's nearly Pumpkin time and I enjoyed making up this card with my Pumpkin Die-set and the Autumn coloured scrapbook papers.

Close Up:-  

A5 Kraft card:-

Cut the check card slightly smaller than the main card. Rough up the edges with the edge of your scissors and attach to your card. Run a running stitch around the edge of the check card with a fine liner pen. Die-cut three pumpkins with the leaves and 2 x fence panels. Cut an oblong of Kraft card 6cm x 9cm and add to the card on a slight angle as in the picture. Add a piece of Hessian 7cm x 5cm, fray the edges and add across the Kraft card. Ink around the fence panels with brown ink and attach both panels over the Hessian on foam. Attach the three die-cut pumpkins and leaves to the front of the fence, again on foam. Die-cut two small oblongs 4cm x 3cm in the check and leaf papers and tuck down behind the Hessian. Tie strips of the Hessian strands and add to the top of the Kraft card. Add three die-cut leaves to the bottom left corner. Add ink and clear embossing powder to the wooden pumpkin and add to the main card as in the picture. Stamp out the words PUMPKIN and PATCH with the Pumpkin ink pad, clear emboss, and cut out, then add to the card.

A Pretty Patchwork Card...

 Good morning

A patchwork card using a Craftwork clear stamp set.

Close up:-

White 6"x6" Card:-

Brown is very much the colour this Autumn/Winter so I have used brown ink and pale turquoise to co-ordinate.

Die-cut a piece of brown card slightly smaller than the main card using a square with a stitched edge and attach. I stamped out the small hexagons onto white card mixing the two ink colours and then embossed them with clear embossing powder. Leave enough room to be able to put your greetings in between as in the picture. Die-cut this stamped image again with a square stitched die, slightly smaller than the brown square. Add a cross stitched edge around this white square and attach to the main card. Stamp out two more separate hexagons, cut out and attach with foam. Stamp buttons and crosses in some of the hexagons. Add two cross stitches to the corners of the main card as in the picture using the brown ink.

With Love...

 Just got a last card in for September, 'With Love', Crimson coloured papers from 49 And Market. Tall slim Kraft card 21cm x 7.5cm.

Close Up:- 

Cut out the spotted paper to fit the front of the card leaving a small border edge of the Kraft card.

Die-cut the ribbon border with a contrasting paper (2) and join together so it fits the length of the main card. Thread a small slim piece of the spotted paper through the slits in the ribbon die. Add this to the centre of the card. Punch out three envelopes, one in the spotted paper and two in the contrasting paper.

Make up the envelopes leaving them open as in the picture. Run a running stitch around the envelopes with a white liner pen and contrasting pen. Add the envelopes to the card as in the picture, on foam. Die-cut a small card for the greeting and small foliage for the top and bottom envelopes. Add a button thread bow and heart button on the envelopes to finish off. Run a white liner pen around the whole of the card.

Another Year Older....

 Good Afternoon,

Another year older is the card I have designed today using some lovely papers from Photoplay Autumn collection.

Close up:-

White Card A5 Size:-

I cut out from the scrapbook paper a section that had the leaves at the left hand side to fit on the card, leaving a small white border edge. I die-cut three tags from the reverse of the paper 11.5cm x 2.7cm. I attached them to the card, starting 4cm from the top and finishing 6.5cm from the bottom. Spacing them evenly apart, but only attach at the beginning so that you can weave the longer tags in between. Die-cut two longer tags 17cm x 2.7cm by joining two of the tags together to make them longer. Weave them as in the picture before sticking down. Attach the coloured string to the top and bottom tags and add a greeting.

Playing with VersaMagic Ink Pads...

 Good Afternoon,

I have designed a card using the VersaMagic inks on a card that makes a nice Autumn card although we are not quite there yet. Only a couple of weeks away.

Close up:-

White 12.5cm x 12.5cm (5"x5") Card.

Die- cut a mixture of leaves, different shapes and sizes. Colour with the VersaMagic ink pads, then clear emboss them. Die-cut a circle 8.5cm across and colour with the green ink pad and clear emboss. Add the mixture of leaves as in the picture. Die-cut two scallop circles, one 5cm across (colour with the green ink and clear emboss) and one 3.3cm across for the greeting. Thread string through the holes of the small circle. Add both these circles to the centre of the card. Add a small stitch around the main card using a fine liner pen. Stamp a small leaf and acorn stamp around the gaps between the main leaves.

Time For Tea...

 Good morning,

Time for tea.... I have designed a card that includes a teabag so as you can invite someone, a friend or relative for a cup of tea and a chat.

Close up:-

Tall slim Kraft coloured card...19.5cm x 10.5cm

Cut a piece of patterned paper slightly smaller than the main card so as to leave a small border. I used Stamperia Herbarium papers that had a Tea theme. Using the same papers make a small pocket 9cm x 8cm finished to fit on the bottom front of the card. Leave the top open to fit your teabag. Add a strip of Kraft card 10.5cm x 1.5cm to cover the bottom of the pocket, then add a patterned border strip for decoration.  Die-cut the same Zig Zag border to the top of the card using matching papers. Tie a piece of button string around the length of the card twice and then into a bow. Add greetings and finally a teabag.
