Animals Ribbon from Crafty Ribbons

 Good Morning All

This first is one of the Easter cards I have made for the Grandkids.

I used  Grosgrain Animals Ribbon. from Craft Ribbons, and the sentiment ribbon of from there too.

The images are from a pad I bought at my local craft shop, Hunkydory Toppers.

This next card was made for Auroras Birthday which was on Tuesday using a different variety of the same ribbons.

Two more Congratulation Cards

 Good Morning All

For Crafty Ribbons     I have made two cards, very similar, both using a scrap of seam Binding.

There are lots of colours but if you only have one, choose cream or white as  it can be coloured with your alcohol markers or inks.

I have just tied a tiny piece at each end of my sentiment tab which matches the colours  have used on the image.  I matted the Groovi heart onto embossed card which I inked around the edge but you cant see it very well in this pic.

The sentiment is stamped using a set of Johns (JND)

Anything Goes for Crafty Ribbons

 Good Morning All

Crafty Ribbons time again and I made this wonderful card using some super yummy ribbon available instore HERE.  The words ribbon is in there too.

Here is Crafty Ribbons facebook page where we post all the makes form the Design Team.

I used the heart embossing folder as I thought that matched perfectly too.

I have the perfect person in mind to give this card to

Here are afew pics of the orange trees outside my Craftroom window, they are heavy with fruit at present.

I was talking to my best friend Trudy in the UK on New Years day via Whats App and she asked me what the weather was like, so I turned my phone around and showed her this view with perfect clear blue skies.  She was so jealous!!

Say It With Flowers for Penny Black & Challenge

Good Morning All

As part of Allsorts Design Team we can Guest  at Penny Black Challenge blog HERE.

The them for August is

Say It With Flowers.

I used PB3822K Trumpet Vase and made two cards.

This first one was made a while ago when I was playing with water colour paints.

I simply painted different colours and stamped the image over the top - simples.

The charm is one I made, attached with twine and seam binding.

I used the same backing paper and used one of JND tags, played with Mica Magics and stamped the image on top.

Added afew flowers punched from left over scraps of parchment,  half a doily and some homemade sentiments.

****************************

Now onto my normal Sunday post for Craft Club Challenge.

Instead of a sketch or Tic Tac To, I gave the ladies 1/2 mtr of ribbon each from Crafty Ribbons

I want them each to make a Christmas card or something else using the Christmas ribbon I gave them.

Here is mine, a twist pop up card using a tutorial by Gi Kerr on You Tube.

I used the cute Penguin vertical ribbon, LOTV topper.

A Bellyband with a little tag pinned to it.

This is the back and I used a cut off from this paper for the bellyband.

This is the card all opened up.

It was quite easy to make too.

Crafty Ribbons are doing a SELECTION BOX

Envelope Notebook Folder

Good Morning All

I am so in to my notebooks at present and here is another one following a You Tube video from Gi at Happiness in Crafting.

Quite afew pics to follow.

This is the front cover of a fold up notebook envelope.

Inside the back cover

Inside the front cover.

Gi also has a video on making these cute little dresses and handbags.

UYou can deocrate as much or as little as you wish.

Most of my lace and ribbon on these comes from Crafty Ribbons - Link in sidebar.

I made mine into paperclips and attached to journaling cards but they would make great toppers for cards.

I decided to add a little tuck spot on the 1st page of the journaling pages.

Coffee stained and notebook pages sewn in.

And this is the envelope part on the back of the journal notebook.

All the ephemera stored in two pockets.

And this is a fold out page of journaling space of coffee stained paper.

How gorgeous is this.

Take a look at Gi's tutorials, they are fab.

I used papers I already had in my stash but I am going to make another one using Gi's papers.

Another gift to go in my drawer for Christmas.

Crafty Ribbons have a massive sale on, go check it out.

Yummy for Crafty Ribbons

Good Morning All

It is my turn to post for Crafty Ribbons.

I have made two cards for this using some yummy Cake Grosgrain ribbon and Keep Calm Ribbon, both available in store HERE.

I used the same toppers from LOTV but in different sizes.

I added the sentiment tag with Seam binding which I adore and comes in loads of different colours.

Even if you can't find the colour you want, it is so easy to colour with alcohol pen, which I have done before.

This one, if you dont have the seam binding in the  correct colour to match your card, just ink it.

I used  a Tim Holts Distress pad to colour this yellow one to match.

Happy with these two and they will go in my box for charities.

Inspired by a Song for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is 

Inspired by a Song chosen by Helene.

I chose 

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
How lovely are thy branches

The branches on my Christmas  tree are pieces of ribbon.

I made this Christmas tree ornament from a Polystyrene  shape, about 6" tall.
I really enjoyed making this and it would make a nice centre piece for the table.
Not that we have a Christmas dinner!!!!!!
We have not had a traditional  Christmas dinner since the first year we moved here, 8 years ago, we went to our local Indian last yer and we re doing the same again, I think.
They dont do  special menu so just the same price as usual, not getting ripped off just because it is Christmas day!!!!

We have a lovely prize this week, a Christmas crafting kit.

Ribbon

Good Morning All

This is a design I copied from one of my MAWTT design team ladies when we had a Ribbon challenge afew weeks ago.

On this one the ribbon seemed to want to curve so I let it.

I used Phill Martins Scribbled corner sentiments.

Quite a simple card.

This is Jessies' card that inspired me.

Alot neater than mine.

Have a nice day
