Shades of Purple...

 Good afternoon

I have designed a card with the theme of Violets for February. The flower for February, but as I couldn't find an appropriate flower stamp for the job, I thought I would used the colour to make this card instead.

Wilted Violet is the Distress Oxide Ink Pad I have used from the Ranger Tim Holtz collection. A lovely colour it is too. 

I cut out the main stamped imaged and inked around the edges. Added the sheer ribbon at the bottom and made into a bow before attaching to the main card, leaving enough room to stamp the words.

I cut out the small butterfly that I stamped and embossed to lift the card.

Ideal for a birthday, anniversary or get well card.

I have used a white DL card.

A Spring-like Card..

 Good afternoon,

I am back with a Spring-like card, wishful thinking that we are nearly there...

I have used the Cardio- Majestix stamp set 'Crocus Garden'. These little stamps are great for backgrounds as well as the main section.

I continued the stamping along the back of the card too.

Close up.

                                  I cut out some of the flowers and layered on foam.

I used a white landscape card 7"x5"

Sid the Second is here to stay..

 Good afternoon

Sid the Second is finally finished. Didn't quite find this second one as easy as the first for some reason. I kept dropping a stitch and because of the fluffy texture, I couldn't find where the dropped stitch was. It was a shade darker wool too, so not sure if that had anything to do with it. Had a bit of patching up to do, but you can't see it.

Looking a little fuller round the middle than the first Sid. That was due to my daughter adding extra filling. Looks nice and chilled though.

Looking forward to my next project. Till then take care.

Thank you for popping by.

Head and shoulders as they say in the song....

Legs and ears...

Just the chest piece to finish off...

Off to sew him altogether, will be back with the finished 'Sid the second'.

Back soon.

Crafty Makes In January....

Hi there,

 Always nice to keep busy with some craft or other through the winter months. I started with a knitted Koala Bear, who now sits on my shelf in my craft room. A kit that was gifted to me. It was a boxed kit that included everything to make up the bear and probably more. Duttons for Buttons is the kit and although the bear was easy to knit it wasn't quite as easy to sew the pieces together.

 I have knitted lots of items, but haven't knit too many toys before.

The Boxed Kit includes wool and Knitting needles.

This is the lovely result.

SID

Going to make Sid the Second as my daughter now wants one.........

                                                   ____________________________________

Second of my January crafty makes is a present.

Knitted Hat and Snood.

                                             Using 2 Balls of Rico Melange Chunky.

The knitted Snood was made from one hundred gram ball. Patons Fab DK.

Both the wool and the spotted Pom Pom I got from Delta Wools.

I have also knit my daughter a black hat with a Leopard style Pom Pom, and in the process of knitting 

another speckled Snood like the one in the picture.

Happy crafting

and thank you for popping by.
