New Baby Card
Our very first grandchild was born on Saturday, June 19th. Millie arrived 5 weeks early and is very tiny and, currently, full of tubes and monitors and is living in the special baby care unit. Because it was a surprise, I was not ready with a card so had to make one in a hurry. I had recently bought...
80th Birthday Star Book
My lovely next-door neighbour, Harry, recently celebrated his 80th birthday so I made him a special card. He really does deserve something a bit special – he is the oldest paper-boy in the district . He always gets our weekend papers for us and we do appreciate that. I’ve made several variations...
Birthday Cards
I’m awaiting a hospital appointment to have some hand surgery so I decided I’d better get my birthday cards done ready for the next few months. I hope to keep posting here every-time I complete a new one. I’d better not label them just in case the recipient sees it on here before...
Bookatrix and Brooch
I’ve had the Bookatrix board for quite some time but really don’t use it often enough! I was never happy with the cutting-out around the edges of the ‘book’ but I think – since I was recommended to use decorative scissors to cut around the edges – I’ve liked those that...
Christmas Cards 2009
A few years ago I decided to go green and not send Christmas Cards – instead I donated the money to charity. A couple of years later I decided that I really did enjoy making cards too much to carry on being green so I’ve gone back to old ways. This year, I had all my cards made by early November,...
Joseph’s Coat
Joseph’s Coat is an interesting technique involving the laying down of colour onto glossy card in various layers. If you Google it you’ll find all number of examples (try “Joseph’s Coat craft technique” or you’ll get links to the Technicolour Dreamcoat!). I started...
10th Birthday Card
Mold Rubber Stamping Club has been running for ten years so we had a small party! We had cake with our coffee and our homework from last month was to make birthday cards to be kept in the book which Gloria is using for our keepsakes. For my card, I stamped the number 10 with a Versamark ink and embossed...
Hair by Honda
Most people who travel by motorcycle will understand the term ‘helmet hair‘ – it’s something which cannot be avoided and which we all tend to ignore – we get used to everyone looking as if they’ve been dragged backwards through a hedge or, as in some cases, like they’ve...
Stamp Club Challenge
I’m trying something different…… throwing out a challenge to the ladies at my local Stamp Club. We meet once a month and I took a whole bunch of items with me last month and shared them out giving everyone two months to see what they can come up with. The items I took were empty cat...
Pyramid Boxes
There was a competition held by one of my favourite stamp manufacturers – Non Sequitur – to make something using their images and email the photos to them when done. I did quite a few different things but the one that I really
Book Exchange 2008
At our Rubber Stamping Club last year we had a round-robin book exchange. Those taking part were split into groups of 5 or 6 people and we each chose a theme for our own particular book. We made or bought a book and decorated the covers
Altered Tea Caddies
This was a challenge to alter a tin to make something to hold pencils. Well, I can’t resist a bit of competition so I thought I’d better have a go. Visit http://oorchallengeblog.blogspot.com/ to see other entries. I took photos of all the steps (well, most of them) so you can follow what...
