Die-cut is K& Company and I've stamped the sentiment with a Woodware stamp.

Father's Day Gift Bag

A little gift bag to match the card on previous post.
Made at SU class.

Father's Day

This was the Father's Day card we made at SU class.
I couldn't give this one to my dad because my mum made the same card (she comes to class with me) and she wanted to give him it.

A new technique we learned was how to make a splattered effect with a felt-pen and a spritzer tool.
I guess I'll be putting the spritzer tool thingy on my next order.

Father's Day

This is the card I made for my dad this year, he loves anything nautical.
Image is Anita's, I found the verse on the internet.
Faux bow (strip of ribbon, small piece of looped ribbon attached horizontally and then a smaller loop going over both vertically).

Thanks Sew Much

Made at class, all materials SU.

Sewing Kit

Made at SU class.
We stamped some white ribbon to look like a tape measure and made the inner box from a single sheet of 6x6.
Just the right size to hold a couple of small reels of cotton and some needles.

Happy Birthday

Not keen on this one but it's using up the masses of WRMK paper that I bought in TKMaxx recently.
Sentiment is SU.

Happy Birthday

Paper is by Echo Park (the red and white is the reverse)
Sentiment from a freebie pack of rub-ons.
Stars are a Sizzix die

Happy Birthday

Patterned card is Mariposa by DCWV. I've put self-adhesive pearls on random butterflies.
Sentiment is SU.

Love

I don't like this card but thought I'd show it anyway!
When I've been blog-hopping I've seen quite a few cards made with SU 'Baby Blossoms' stamp set, mostly in pinks and blues. I thought I'd try a completely different colour scheme and when I did I realised why the pink and blue is so popular (because it looks nice! mine looks dull).

Recycling

I really like Orla Kiely's designs but have got fed up waiting for her to bring out a craft line. Instead I bought a scent diffuser and cut up the packaging to make cards with (I did actually want the diffuser, I'm not mad enough to buy something just for the box!)

In the end I managed to get four cards from the one, quite small, box so was happy with that.

Anniversary

My wedding anniversary today so I made this card for my husband.
I wanted to try something a bit different to the usual hearts etc.

I've used clear embossing ink and powder with an Autumn Leaves swirl stamp. All the word stickers down the left hand side are by K&Company, the glitter stickers on the right are by Making Memories.

New Home

I bought some very cheap WRMK paper recently in TKMaxx so am trying to use it all up before I get bored of it
Alphabet is Sizzix Script.

Peg

I'd been looking for some over-sized pegs for a very long time with absolutely no luck. I think part of the problem was I have no idea what the correct name for them is so Google just brought up normal wooden clothes pegs.
Anyway I finally discovered them in a craft shop at Embsay near Skipton. They have a website here.

I wasn't sure whether or not to take the pegs to bits and then paint/ varnish. My worry was that I would not be able to put them back together! I know there's not much to a peg but sometimes in the past I have painted things and it has altered them somewhat with regards to size, ie drawers no longer fitting etc.

So for the first one I decided to keep it simple and just slap some patterned paper on, adhered with Mod Podge. Paper, button and seam binding all by Stampin' Up.

I purposely put the paper on upside down because I knew I would mostly be using the peg upside down too, as a memo holder.

Literally a five minute project :)
