July 10th demo

How I hate summer colds I am sat here, my nose and eyes are streaming and my throat is killing me. Why is it that any little previous injury or dodgy kidneys always kills like mad? Plan on being back to work by Thursday at the latest so am not cancelling Thursdays demo at the moment watch this space for update.
Thought I would make use of my time and try updating my blog. May find more things to put on here later.

How I love Penelope and Percy and these little pal pom pom I also love make my own flowers and these easel cards loan themselves to that.

This card is from John Bryn range. These stamps are lovely. I like to just stamp them using fluid chalks. This card is my version of a step card.

This card was not made for my DO demo but I thought I would include it in here as the only thing that isn't DO is the ribbon. The papers are all from silent night.

Shop till you drop love this new range I used a piece of Summer bloom paper to creat the rose this was made with the papermania template. I chalked the edges surprise, surprise. The foot of the easel card was made using a piece of the yummy pink glitter card. To help the foam pads stick I scratched the glitter away using my x cut distressing tool.

This card uses 2 A6 cards to make a tri fold and the the end folds are folded back on themselves. The ribbon is 69p organza I created a loop and stuck this down and then threaded another piece of ribbon through the loop and stuck this down.

Foiled cards and envelopes remember to use the envelopes for matting and layering

Oh gem stone stickers. These are really beautiful they are clear and lone themselves to being put onto acetate and then colour in the back with permanent pens.

Summer bloom decoupage card pack is really lovely So far I have mad 4 cards from the pack and I still have a few bits left. I did use one sheet from the vellum quotes pack.

These cards are made from the A5 decoupage and pyramage pack, some silent night vellum, and some textured cards and envelopes in Christmas green and red. I like to post my cards in white envelopes so I use the coloured ones as mats for my matting and layering.

These little box cards were so popular.For the bottom 2 I punched out a 3"scalloped circle and the cut out the the circle from the middle. The card on the right was finished with a couple of the new flowers from the elements range and the card on the left was fiished with a decoupage from born to shop. The top card has penny and the snowman the snowflakes are white glitterations I used fluid chalks to colour these.

This A5 card has a piece of the double sided poincetta card stock from the goody bad, a piece of vellum from the silent night Christmas range some poincettas from the goody bag and a few red dew drops.

The square card was made using a piece the crd stock in the goody bag The poincetta was made from the new template.

I promise I will try and update my blog at the weekend!!!!
