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!

Dad

Not long now until the craft show at the Perdiswell Leisure Centre, Worcester on Bank Holiday Monday - 30th May 2011. I will be helping out once again on the Bee Crafty stand and I am so very, very excited as Bee Crafty have put together some fabulous new kits and will  be demonstrating some of them at the show.

I have put together a couple of card ideas, which (subject to management approval!) will also be coming to the show. One of the ones I have made is the Dad card shown above. The 4 inch basic letters are from a Bee Crafty die cut word kit and were covered with a few of the lovely papers from the Craftwork Cards Tres Chic Collection (which  I believe will be on sale at the show). The letters were decorated with silver buttons, various black ribbons and small 1.5cm mirror squares. These were than attached to basic black card stock with 3D foam.

This card could be used for either a birthday or fathers day - which is fast approaching! On Saturday 4th June 2011,Bee Crafty will be holding some 1hr Fathers Day card making sessions. The sessions only cost £3.00 and include all your materials. The classes are are held in their fabulous workspace at their shop in Bidford, spaces are limited so if you fancy popping along check out the details on their  website - www.beecrafty.net. See you all at the show!

Paper Roses ...

... and no I don't mean the ones that Marie Osmond sang about!

Bee Crafty have launched their wonderful new Paper Roses kits. At only 99p they are a real bargain!
Each kit comes with full (easy to follow) instructions and enough die cut  flower shapes to enable you to make one large rose and one small rose, as shown above on a card I rmade last night.

The Paper Roses kits are available in lots of beautiful colours and will be on sale along with lots of other crafting goodies on the Bee Crafty stand at the Craft Show at Perdiswell Leisure Centre, Worcester on Bank Holiday Monday 30th May 2011. Look forward to seeing you all there - just look for the bumble bees!
