Too-wit! Too-woo!

I love , love, LOVE this card! It was made using two of my current favorite things: Card Candi from Craftwork Cards and the second of my Martha Stewart Round the Page punches.

An owl shape was cut from a piece of blue/green  tartan-ish paper and pale blue Stickles was used to go around all the edges. A white scalloped circle was glued onto the centre of the owl and a small blue triangle was cut for the beak.

The owl was then glued to a piece of blue card measuring 6.75 inches which had been punched with the MS round the page punch.

The topper was then glued onto an 8 x 8 square card from Craftwork Cards.

Co-ordinating Card Candi was then attached around the edge using small squares of 3d foam. Card Candi was also used for the owls eyes.

Another Round the Page

Another card made using one of the many toppers I have and my new Martha Stewart Round the Page punch.

Martha Stewart Round the Page Punch

I have recently purchased a couple of Martha Stewart Around the Page punches and this is my first attempt at a card using the "French Scroll" punch set.

First of all you have to cut your card stock into squares of set sizes, The larger square being 5 inches and the smaller on being 3.25 inches.

You use the corner punch first to punch all four corners of your card and then you punch out the edges using the second punch which has a guide printed on it so that you line up your card correctly.

I know Martha Stewart punches are a little more expensive than those in other ranges, but the quality is superb and they are so easy to use.  Will definitely be buying some more of these.

More Box Cards

Three more cards made - bringing the total this weekend to 22!  So I can now justify buying the Sweet Meadow collection from Craftwork Cards - yaaay.

I also managed to sort through two more boxes of my crafty bits and bobs, only one more box to sort through - and it's a big one! But once it's done it's done.

Box Cards

Last ones for today -  four simple box cards made with some decoupaged toppers. Glossy Accents and Stickles glitter was used on the toppers to make them stand out a little more. That brings todays total to 19 cards. Have had a very productive day as I have also managed to sort through two boxes of crafty bits and bobs - I've been ruthless and actually managed to throw a few bits way. I've also managed to clear my main workspace again, and am determined to be a lot more tidy when I am crafting - it makes thing so much easier!

Neutrals/Naturals

Another two, one made with a Lily Of the Valley topper and one made with a stamped H'anglar Stangler image. Have recently purchased 6 H'anglar stamps so there will be more cards of this type to follow.

Toppers Galore ....

I'm on a roll ... here are another eight cards made with some toppers that I have had in my craft room for eons! I also had my very first play with my Cuttlebug ... the circles surrounded by hearts are my handiwork. (The scalloped ovals were purchased, but am saving up for some more Nestie's) I am also the owner of four fab embossing folders, examples of my own embossed paper will follow shortly

Gorjuss Girls

I am on a mission this weekend, to use up as many of my old toppers as possible! Having had a thorough clean up of my craft room,I discovered I have more crafty bits than I realised, and I can not justify buying any more until I use some of them up. As the new craftwork cards collection "Spring Meadow" will be arriving in my local craft shop Bee Crafty, I have set myself a challenge to make at least 20 cards over the weekend. If I make 20 I can buy the new collection if I don't I will have to wait!

So these are my first five - made with some toppers from the Gorjuss Girl range. My favorites are the two that have pop-up middles ... I didn't realise how easy these were to make!

Anyway onwards and upwards ......

Maze Book Two

A slightly more simplistic looking maze book than the one in my previous post. Once again it was made using the new Maze Book kit from Bee Crafty. The papers and die cuts used were from the Fruit Scoop collection by Craftwork cards (also available from Bee Crafty). The front & back covers of the maze book were actually made by using the advertisingng slip from inside the bag of Craftwork Cards papers! The mini images were the perfect size for use on this maze book. 
Happy crafting! x

Maze Book & Johnney Depp

This is my first ever attempt at a Maze Book, made with one of the new Bee Crafty Kits, some off-cuts of the Tres Chic collection by Craftwork Cards, a few piccies of Johnney Depp and a little bit of bling from my own personal stash! I am really pleased with the results, so much so I am about to make another one!!

Come see my maze book and lots of other goodies on the Bee Crafty stand at the Craft Show in Worcester on Bank Holiday Monday!
