Tick Tock, Shabby Clock....

I just loved making this...

I've used Funky Meets Shabby Chic and Funky's Garden papers from Funky Fairy's Papercrafts.
The base circles are CDs...so my beloved Crop-a-dile was needed to make the holes. The Cds were covered with Shabby Chic papers and then heart images from the Stampin' Up! 'Doodle That' collection, were randomly stamped over both in coordinating colours.



The two CDs have been joined using an old dungaree clip and attached with a 'Round Tab' punched out shape from Stampin' Up!
I've then added organza ribbon.








I've used elements from the Funky's Garden collection on the clock along with a Penny Black butterfly, which has been stamped and glittered using Stampin' Up! 'Heat and Stick' and Dazzling Diamonds glitter...then finished with flowers, brads -which have been dotted with a white pen- and liquid pearls.


The second CD has been finished with a water coloured 'Sweet Ebony' image, more flowers and brads and completed with a little silver hat which dangles from a chain attached by more ribbon.

Funky Fairy Challenge-week 3

Phew...that wasn't so easy !!!
This weeks challenge was set by Karen and this was it...
'put away your tape, glue or anything else sticky: This is a no-glue card challenge!' !!
Easy you think? ...Well, I hate to tell you how many times I mindlessly reached for the 'sticky' stuff!!! ^.^

Anyway...I managed it...

I cut the background paper to size, then tore the vellum randomly and layered on top of the backing paper. I've then attached both layers to card stock with white eyelets using my trusty Crop-a-dile. Through the top two eyelets I've strung 3mm satin ribbon and attached the double layered matching tag.
The daisy flowers have been stamped onto pearlised vellum and cut out. I've curled the edges over and placed each one on a piece of foam, then wiggled my Bookatrix glitter tool around the centres to give them a bit of dimension. These have then been attached with pink brads...and although you probably can't see it, I've dusted over the whole card with...wait for it...a 'sparkle brush'!! This is a childs make up accessory that I bought from Asda last year and is great for finishing little girly cards ^.^

**Oh and...it's mummy's own brush, so no child from this household was upset during the making of this card ^,^
Both the backing paper and vellum are Pinkie Pops designs, and the daisy stamp is from the 'doodles for daniel' range.

Hope you like it!

Pinkie Pops...With NO Pink!!!

A birthday looms for a friend whom, I think it's fair to say... doesn't 'DO' pink!!!

Well, seems as I'm lovin' my new Pinkie Pops kit, I challenged myself to make her a birthday card...with said kit!!!!!

Ok...before you shout at your screen...I see pink!!! *.*
I decided to stand the card on a piece of pink mount board just so's I could have a tinsy winsy bit of pink in the picture, and it's reflected in the silver mirri card that I've mounted the 'Birthday Girl' greeting on...doh!

The letters are stuck to a piece of acetate and hung over the top of the card so they actually dangle freely. The greetings are on silver mirri card and my wonderful Crop-a-dile has helped me to set eyelets to each tag to which I've added contrast ribbons. The edge of the card has been inked with a Charcoal chalk ink pad.

The centre has been made using a W S Designs Small Pop Out - Rectangle template... and from that I have dangled two hearts that have been embossed with 2 layers of clear embossing powder and stuck back to back.

Hope she likes it!!!

Wedding Box

This is something I made as a wedding gift for my FIL and his Fiance on their wedding day earlier this year.

I used mountboard for the main box pieces, covered them with wedding papers from Creative Imaginations and inked the edges with a 'Warm Red' chalk ink pad.

I lined up all the pieces and punched the holes with my Crop-a-dile ...then (painstakingly) threaded red and cream coloured ribbon alternately through them all. Decorated the outside with embellishments and charms and finally put the Cherished Teddy ornament inside...secured well with silicone glue.
