CHNC Guest Card

My card as guest designer for this month's challenge over on http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/  is "Twelve Drummers Drumming, the theme being "Can You Hear What I Hear".

I do hope you will join us there.

I embroidered the main picture onto a cotton poly fabric, over laid this with a frame I cut from one of Monica's free cutting  files http://monicascreativeroom.se/category/cutting-files/cards/gate-fold-cards/  Thank you Monica.
Then attached this to a card 7 x 7 inch.

 

Please check out my shop for other embroidery pieces you can purchase.

So true

This picture just speaks for itself.

Guest Card for CHNC

Well it's been a while but my move on 21 May was not a smooth one, then BT couldn't fit the internet for 6 weeks, the house is in a state of dis-repair so been busy renovating, still have loads to do but crafting is calling.
So here is my first card since moving to my new home, it is a Guest Design Card for http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ please do go along and join in if you can, Hazel has some great card challenges running with great prizes. Hope to see you there.

 

 

I used plain green card stock folded to a stepper, the main image is my embroidery on cream cloth, the flower was a gold doily, the  paper tree is a cutting file and the sentiment is ribbon.

Guest Design Card

Still busy packing and this may be the  last for a few month's. As yet I haven't got a move date but things have to be packed away. But oh what fun when I start to unpack and find all my crafting goodies, it will be like having all new things to play with.
Ok onto this month's challenge over at http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/
This week the theme is "Seeing red - a little or a lot" I do hope you will join us there, we are in April already so the month's are zooming past so best to get started on those cards as soon as possible.
As most of my stash is now in storage, my card was just a quick redwork embroidery on blue cotton/poly then glued onto a gold piece of card and then onto a red card blank. Simple but gets the message across.

Guest DT Card

Start of yet another month this year seems to be going faster than any other.

My card this month for http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ as Guest DT is this one

 

The challenge is "add ribbon/twine fibre etc". Do go along and take part.

My Angel is one of my Embroidered Embellishments from http://craftybrensembroideredtoppers.weebly.com/  and to keep in the theme I added the ribbon through the slots of the head and skirt. Although strictly speaking the cotton used on the embellishment is a sort of twine. Well I can try to get away with that one.
The background, well this is where I was a bit stumped, I was not at my usual computer so had no background images etc with me, all I had was a graphics program and some pictures of my lace embellishments, so taking bits of those and swirling them around a bit this is the result.

The red part looks nothing like a lace heart now, the green looks nothing like a white bell and the snowflakes were the centre of a lace flower. Don't you just love a graphics program.

Oh well at least it's a one off.

Die Cuts

For this weeks challenge at http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ it's use a die cut or punched shape.
I thought I would go really bright with this one as today is so miserable out wind, rain and dark skies

I used Tonic Dies on the yellow cuts
Tonic Punches on the flowers
The words and snowman are ready made die cuts.

Not sure who would want such a bold card on display, but it brightened my otherwise dull day.
