August Makes

Hello there again.

These are the last makes for this month's. 1 wedding anniversary card for my partner Dave. Followed by his birthday.

For the anniversary card I used my Cricut to make the pop out hearts and the layer underneath. I finished the card with wording stamps and gems.

For the birthday card I used my trusted craftartist software and made this very cute male card. I then added shimmer to the cake and gems on the banner. 

I do love baking so when my daughter twisted my arm to bake a birthday cake... Well it wasn't twisteing, she said the magic word. "Baking." 😂 This morning I baked a chocolate swirl cake adding chocolate icing in the middle. 

I was going to ice outside and remembered we are going out, so over load in afternoon cake would be too much so left it as it is. 

I hope you have a lovely day and hope you enjoy what I have made this month. 

🥰❤️🥰

Badge making time

Well hello there my crafty reader.  Today is a special day. In England we have a Luna eclipse and I have a new toy.

I can't wait to show you. My daughter is growing up and get taste will forever change. So I agreed with her I'll make her badges to put and decorate her backpack.

Once I got the hang of it I made so many for her to choose from. 

I hope you enjoyed looking what I have done. Have a lovely day. 😊❤️😊

Stevenage Museum family Saturday

Hello all I hope you are having a lovely day.

Today. Me and my daughter Bonnie went to our local museum for a family event. I love these things because it's free and family time where we can craft together. This month the title was Gone Fishing and Bonnie was asked to create a rainbow fish. She really had fun with glue stick and dots. 😂

I was in my element. Give me felt tip pens and I'm lost so for one hour this was where I got up to. 

Yeah as you can imagine I was not totally happy it's not finished so when I got home. I grabbed my brush pens and .... Yes I completed the colouring. 🙂🙂

I might buy a colouring book for adults it was fun, nice and relaxing. 

I have got a birthday and anniversary card to make so watch out for my next post.

I hope you enjoyed looking what I have done. Have a lovely day. 😊❤️😊

Growing up fast

Hello again. Just when you thought I won't hear from her for a few months I'm back.🙂

My little one is leaving infant school this week and will be starting Juniors in September. Very different from my day I went to 3 schools in my school years she is going to break my record 😂

Now I don't normally do graduation cards but after reading her last school report and I'm about to get ready to attend her leavers assembly and thought. I just make this quick card. So with a little help with My craft studio software and artwork I came up with her congratulations fairy.

As always I do hope you enjoy looking what I have made. If it brought any joy and inspiration then I am glad I've helped have a good day.

my July Crafts

Hello again to whoever is reading it. 

Yes it's been a long time a year in fact.work has taken much of my time and crafting took a back seat. 

This month alot of crafting has happend either for need or family. Mainly Family so here is what I have done this month.

Birthday Card for my Mother-in-law. ❤️

New water bottle for Bonnie. I used Disney vinyl and cut out the size I needed with my Cricut Joy Xtra. Still learning that machine but getting better.

While I was writing this I might have forgotten the cards I did last month for family members so here they are too. 

Fathets day card for my father in law who loved fishing.

Birthday card drawn using my Cricut Joy Xtra then I added colour.

Now this was fun to make. I used my craft artist sheriff to arrange the flowers before printing and putting together. 

My first card in June was for a family friend. I used my first layer SVG template in my Cricut Joy Xtra machine. It was fiddly but the end outcome made me look for more to use through the year. ☺️

As always I do hope you enjoy looking what I have made. If it brought any joy and inspiration then I am glad I've helped. There will be a few cards next month and I will try to remember to add to my gallery. 

part 2 of crafting day

Hello again. 

Yes, like I said yesterday, my little one was not the only person crafting. While she was doing schoolwork, she didn't need me for most of it. I did my own crafting, keeping busy 😁

So, the first thing I did was get my crafting laptop out and fire up the Craft Artist2. I used my fuzzy moon collection and made 3 Easter cards. I made sure that they fit a 5 x 7-inch card base.

 

 

My last card was more fun to make. I used digital stencils and punches to make this card. I have not decided who is getting which cards yet, but it will be family members, and I'm sure they will appreciate it.

There is 1 more I made yesterday. While Bonnie was doing her colouring, I decided to do one too. I used my brush makers and then added this to a 5x7 inch. I waited overnight for the colours to blend together.

I hope whoever reads this is well. I also hope that you enjoy what my little one and I did this weekend. I'm treating her to a Costa. For the hard work she did yesterday, she deserves a baby, Chino.
