12 x 12 Wallet

Hey Guys

I'm loathe to mention Gill again as you will all think I have only one friend but to be fair we did have a craft extravaganza the last time we met up.  She showed me how to do this wallet, cant remember where she learned though, oh maybe it was Dawns Stampin Thoughts now I think of it - my fav youtube lady, "Hi Stampers" ;o)

This is really easy and just involves a bit of folding of a 12x12 sheet of Designer Series Paper, no cutting, no glueing, nothing!  Gills one, (the Pumpkin Pie) has a belly band and an insert with a tab top.  Mine doesn't have a belly band and has some decoration on the front and 3 inserts with tab tops.  Love it!

 

Front view of mine with two tab cards slipped into the top.

 

View from the bottom with another tab card slipped inside, all in all you have space for 4 little cards.

Hope you like it and come back again soon.

A Selection of Colours

Hi Guys

As I went to bed before 9pm last night (very early I know), I was up at the crack of dawn, well 6am with hubby.  As a result of this, beds are changed, second load of washing is on the line and a general tidy of the house, woopee, that left time for some crafting ;o)

I made the first one in Pink Pirouette and Night of Navy and loved it so went on to do the Pink with different combos, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Rose Red & Bashful Blue!

To make these cards I've used
Card - Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette, Rose Red
Ink - Rose Red
Paper - DSP Subtles, Pink Pirouette
Stamps - Simply Said, Swirls & Curls Verses
Tools - Paper Piercer, Scallop Circle Punch, Circle Punch, White Uni ball pen

Only the accent colours then changed.

Hope you like it

Hi Guys

Uurgh, weather is rubbish today....lots and lots of rain.  Hopefully it wont last and the sun will break through at some point today, it is summer after all ;o)

This card is one I've copied from the catalogue and did at my Wednesday night card class.  The girls liked it a lot and I do too.  It was very easy the main effect being the polka dots and the twine with the pegs.

To make this card I used
Card - Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Old Olive
Ink - Basic Black, Old Olive, Melon Mambo
Stamps - Happy Moments (retired), Simply Said
Embellishments - Twine, pegs (non SU)
Tools - Sizzix Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Scallop Edge Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch


Hope to see you again soon

The next card in class

The next card we made was the same technique, heat embossing.  Again we used versamark and embossed the sentiment with Black embossing powder.  The ribbon and cardstock are Pumpkin Pie, the other cardstock used is Basic Black & Whisper White.

It is actually quite difficult to make out the embossing but you can see the & is much darker than when you stamp it normally.

The last card we did was this one, pink with the same sentiment.  The main focus of this card is the vellum embossed flowers.  This idea was cased from Julies Japes blogspot & the girls made lots and lots of gorgeous flowers all different shades and designs and I'm annoyed that I didn't take pictures as they were so lovely!

Once the flower outlines are embossed they are coloured on the back of the vellum with Marker pens then glitter is added with some glue for the final sparkle.  I love them!

See you soon
