Stick together until you have created 2 sides of six each.

Continue to build up and create two halfs. Lay the ribbon across the inside base leaving the ends out and making a loop for hanging.

This is the finished ball thank you linda for letting me use yours. Finish off with beads to the end of the ribbons.

Back to work

I am back to work today still coughing but if I stay home till it stops it could be another month so going to give it ago. Must say I have missed work!!! what a sado I am can't wait to see all the new things that have arrived and I want to play with the Bis shot.
Will upload some bits soon.

More pills and potions

As many of you will know I am off sick with bronchtis. I have been to the doctors today and got more antibiotics thats 3 lots and another inhaler. I have been signed off for another week so unfortunatly the Christmas Ball is now on 30th October. I have prepared a tutorial for this so if you miss it I will post it after the demo.

I love our buyer

I love our buyer at work he has got us the BIG SHOT and the BOUTIQUE at amazing prices the Big Shot is £49.99 and the Boutique £19.99. What a bargain. If that isn't enough to get you in he has also ordered a lot of promo goody bags as well unfortunatly I can't tell you whats in them as I am at home with a nasty chest, off to the doctors later and I hope it's only an infection.

All promos are in now and I am sure Tina will have got them out. So go say hi to her and grab a bargain.

Maisie put her neck out

I hope this is going to make sense. remember if you pop along to a demo I can show you how to do it.

Take an A5 and fold the front back so that the cut edge is level with the fold. Take an A6 and cut an inch off of the back.

Place the A6 card across the fold and draw around on the fold piece only.


Unfortunatly this picture did not work. So place the A6 card central on the front of the card and then draw round on the fold side. This is all done on the inside of the card.

Using your ruler and a knife cut on the pencil line.

Your flap should look like this.

A side view

Score a 1cm channel on the narrower side of the card.

Decorate thje front of your A5 card before assembly it's a lot easier

Decorate the A6 cardremembering that the fold of the card needs to be on the right.

Stick the A6 card to the inside flap that you cut previously.

Place the tape on the small scored channel top side and close the card press down, the A6 card will find it's own place.

Random pictures An exploding box

This is the latest addition to my family. Hazel my long haired Guinea pig had 4 cute babies on Maisies birthday.

Oh this is so cute and again so simple. I will be doing a Christmas version on Sunday so pop along and have a look.

Exeter 2009 mojo card so simple but a nice change this one.

This card is called "Maisie put her neck out" I will be doing this at my next Christmas card demo so pop along and have a look. I will try and put up a tutorial next week.

These cards are simply beautiful and need only the smallest amount of embellishing. Since I did the demo we now have the whole range of the laser cards I challenge you to not like at least one of them.

4x4 cards are really easy to do this one uses foil papers to mat white card. The image is a made using a metal stencil which I then stenciled with silver precious metal paint. A simple and quick card.

Linda we love you If it wasn;t for my BF this card would have ended up in the bin all I can say is read the instructions and forget everything you were ever told about water fall cards.

This is a window/decoupage with a difference I cut the window from a square card and put acetate behind the frame. The first piece of decoupage goes on the inside of the card and the rest on top of the acetate matching up as normal.

A moment of inspiration for this one the curve of the front was made using the waste packaging on the new A5 window card as a template. I should get out more.

This is from the A4 card pack

Oh so cute the tree is one of the chipboards painted with gold and a little silver precious metal paints. One coat was enough for a great finish.
