Sewing theme card

Its snowing again here in Sheffield tonight. After a mild dry day, a lot of the snow has melted this afternoon, so I suppose we have room for more. lol I had already planned a crafting day and as a lot of the stuff was still out from yesterday it would have been a shame not too! lol 

 My card this evening has a sewing theme, its great having all my stamp sorted!
The pictures not great as the light was poor, I have gone close up, might try and take a better one tomorrow.

For the background I stuck a piece of dress makers paper pattern to a square of white card. I then randomly stamped all over. I stamped some more sewing images on white card, mounted them inked with antique linen distress ink and add dark brown cardstock.

The recipe for this card is:

Main card: Craft Den white 8" x 8"

Backing paper: White card and stamped paper pattern

Stamps: Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz, PaperArtsy sentiment.

Ink Pad: Ranger Archival Coffee, Jet Black, Distress Ink pad Antique Linen

Bigz Die: Ateration Sewing theme

Ebellishements: Ribbon slider, ribbon, pins and muslin from statsh

All products used available from the Craft Den

Keep warm and happy crafting hugs Lynne xox

Brr its so cold outside!

Just a quick post tonight, no cards, I have a couple of cushions instead. 

Recently I was asked to make two patchwork cushions in green and peach colours for a present.

The cushions are both 18" square.

I hope you are all managing  to keep warm tonight, it is so very cold outside.

My wise old dog has got himself wrapped up keeping warm

our other dog Alfie wants to play. Ikes ignoring him and has put his head under the cover

Alfie has left his ball just in case he changes his mind  lol

Get well card

Hello all my crafty blogging friends, getting a bit of a regular on here again, aren't I? It is one of my new years resolutions to try and put aside a little blogging time, another resolution is to organise my stash better so I spend more time crafting and less time looking for things.

Last week with this in mind I started to organise my stamps, first by companies and then into categories, putting the Christmas ones away, sorting the birthday ones in to male, female, children, wedding, sentiments etc this revealed I had several Easter stamps  mmmmm why I wonder had I got so many Easter stamps? come to that why had I got 3 of the same wedding stamp? 

So when the snow was falling on Monday I thought it high time to ink a few of those Easter stamps, then out came the Copics and I made a few Easter cards. Well that got a few of you rushing for your diaries yesterday when I blogged an Easter card! I still have some more to share but I will save them for another day...

Todays card is a get well card that I made for my brother-in-law who had a knee op.

The recipe for this card is:

Main card: Craft Den white 8" x 8"

Backing paper: Bo Bunny Double Dot and oddments from off cut box

Stamps: Magnolia Nurse Tilda

Copics

Punch: Fiskars Star

Card Candi: Craftworkcards

Button, twine, bandage from stash

Hand written sentiment: Wishing you a very speedy recovery

Hope you like it.

Thank you Kathryn for the pictures.

Exciting News

Good afternoon  to all my crafting blogging buddies. I hope you are all managing to keep safe if you had to go out and keep warm if like me you have been lucky enough to stay in. I have managed a little bit of craftyness in between doing a few jobs today. The studio is now closed on Mondays at least for the winter months. So I get to have a day off! Hurrah! well that is the plan although I have got lots of of chores to catch up on :-( Anyway that's enough waffle now on to my exciting news.
