Thelwell You're The Best Card

I made this A5 card a couple of days ago but had the print the sentiment on the card using Serif software.

The main picture comes from the Crafters Companion Thelwell card kit. It was half of an A4 backing card. 

On the top left hand corner there is a rosette made from some of the Crafters Companion Thelwell paper pad.

I used a Papermania template for the rosette. 

Thelwell Door hanging 2

As I said in my last post I have been playing with my Brother scan 'n' cut today.

I cut out 4 of this style door hanging in pain white card and 1 out of a sheet of Crafters Companion paper pack.

I choose an image that would fit on the door hanging nicely and was cute too. 

I edged the hanger with a Spectrum Noir marker LV2.

The sentiment was taken from a Polka Doodles CD and printed on white cardstock. It was then coloured in the background with Spectrum Noir maker LV2.

I then added 6 silver backed clear gems to add a little sparkle to the door hanging.

Thelwell door hanger

Today I decided to play on my Brother scan 'n' cut.

I cut out the shape on my scan 'n' cut 4 times and then stuck them together to make it sturdy.

I then cut the door hanger out in Kraft card. Then the Kraft card was run through a Crafters Companion Textures wood grain embossing folder.

The edges we then distressed with Pinflair Gentle Blends Dark Khaki

I then cut out one of the images from the Crafters Companion Thelwell Paper Pad and then used Nuvo matt glaze to stick the image onto the Kraft card.

  The wording on the door hanger was drawn by the Brother scan 'n' cut on Kraft card and then placed in a circle before cutting that circle out. 

A Black circle slightly bigger in size was then cut to mat the Kraft card circle and black was chosen to help it stand out from the rest of the door hanging.

I choose the words as I thought they went well with the picture I had chosen.

My Teapot Plaque

I made this Teapot Plaque last week for a friend of mine.

The MDF teapot was from Dreamies which I first painted in white gesso. I then mixed white acrylic paint with nuvo gold acrylic paint.

I printed the saying on some Craft Creations Plus Matt Transparency Film which you can put through any household printer. 

The flowers were made from Tonic carnation punch, Tonic Daisy dies, Heartfelt Creations Flowers, Tattered Lace poinsettia die and Mini Blooms and Spellbinders flower.

In the center of the flowers are either pearl embellishments, Nuvo Crystal Drop and Craftwork Cards Card Candi.

I but raffia through 2 hole I made in the handle and spout to allow the teapot to be hung up evenly.

BeBunni Box

Sunday 22nd February 2015

This box I made on Friday but went a workshop yesterday so didn't have time to post it so here it is.

The box is made out of White Centura Pearl cardstck with the box maker by Crafters Companion . The dimensions of the box are 15cm x 15cm, and 3cm deep.

I put the lid of the box through my die cutting machine with a Tonic die to put the edging around the top.

I then put a picture of BeBunni on the lid. The image comes from the Crafters Companion BeBunni flowers C.D. printed on super smooth cardstock.

I used Spectrum Noir pencils to add depth and shading to the picture before attaching it to the box.

I then used patterned paper from the C.D. to make the flowers for the corners to add decoration. 

The centre of the flowers are buttons printed from the C.D.and then covered with glossy accents before putting them in place.

The leaves are also cut from patterned paper from the C.D. and then the Crafters Companion BeBunni Floral Metal Die. 

Thelwell Card

Sunday 22nd February 2015

Well I made this card a couple of days ago but haven't had a chance to post it so here goes.

This card is a 6" x 6" gate fold card. 

On the outside I used Kraft card which I put through a textures Crafters Companion embossing folder.

The embossing folder was Parquet. I then applied vintage photo Distress Ink around the edges using cut & dry foam.

I place a loop of string in the centre of the card hiding the ends under the Kraft card before sticking the front panels down. 

The sentiment is from the Crafters Companion Thelwell 

papercrafting kit.

A button was attached to the opposite side for the string loop can go round to close the stable doors.

Inside is a Thelwell picture of a horse in a stable take from the Crafters Companion Thelwell Paper pack. It is mounted on Kraft card which has been run through the Crafters Companion Embossing folder. The folder used was the Dry Stone Wall which I then applied Pinflair Gentle Blends Dark Khaki around the edges.

If Friends were Flowers Canvas

Wednesday 18th February 2015

This is the first time I have ever posted on a blog, it is something I have been meaning to do for a while now but have found the thought of doing it very daunting so please bear with me.

I first started painting the canvas with white Gesso

Then I covered the canvas with paper from Craftwork Cards Butterfly Parade.
I then put rainbow sparkle embossing powder around the edges .

In the bottom left hand corner I put some lace coloured with Distress Ink Peacock Feathers, with a stripe of ribbon covering the top edge of the lace.

The ribbon used is the same colour as the ribbon at the top for the canvas to hang from.

The saying comes from the Tonic Die If Friends were Flowers cut in plain white card coloured with
Pinflair Gentle Blends Mediterranean Blue and another saying cut in Silver mirror board.
The silver saying was then put underneath the blue to highlight the saying before attached to the canvas.

The flowers are made from off cuts of the Craftwork Cards Butterfly Parade paper as well as
Centura Pearl cardstock and plain white cardstock coloured with the Pinflair Gentle Blends.

The Flowers were cut using Tonic and Tattered Lace dies and then used pearl embellishments in the centre of the flowers.

The holes were made in the top with a Crop-A-Dile and two eyelets were put in to reinforce the holes before the ribbon was threaded through.
