An Entry

I never find time anymore to enter challenges always so busy doing this flippin house and garden up, so I have taken time out to enter http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ this one instead of just being a Guest DT. It's theme is "add some texture", so some embossing from the parchment and ribbon and a little decoupage is my bit of texture. Now back to the garden.

April Guest Card

This time on http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ it's "Cute and Cuddly" I do hope you can join us with your interpretation of Cute and Cuddly.

I made a shutter card, been a long time since I hand cut one of these, it's also been a long time since I used peel off's, I forgot how fiddly they were, with arthritic fingers. The centre piece of embroidery was done on my machine and I found a Spellbinders Die to make a frame for it.

Take a look on my website http://craftybrensembroideredtoppers.weebly.com/ for more embroidery you can use on your cards.

March Guest DT Card

My card this month for http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ Is not an embroidered one, I have had such a lot on this last few months I sort of ran out of time to make the embroidery pattern. So instead I have used my computer to make the background and image, from one of Docrafts discs, then glued a button in the centre of the flower and sprayed it all over with Spray and Shine, boy does that stuff stink, I then cut out a card blank on ScanNCut and attached my image to that. The theme this month on http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ is "Button it Up" hope you can join us this time.

My February Card

My Guest DT card for February 7th challenge on http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/

The theme is "Decorate a Corner/or two"

For mine I once again embroidered the two corners and the words, used my ScanNCut to make the white frame, I used a punch for the two corners, the pine cones and the stopper are from Klever Konstructions. The whole thing being mounted onto an easel type card.

To purchase this embroidered design just drop me an email ( see shop website for email address http://craftybrensembroideredtoppers.weebly.com/), as the design as a whole is not in my shop.
