Stag Glass Vase

Hi,

For the craft stall I also decorated the below glass vase with a stag. I cut him out using vinyl and the image from the Teresa Collins December 25th Cricut Cartridge. I cut one image out and then reversed the other image and matched them up so when you look through the vase it just looks like one image. I also added a couple of candles and wrapped them in tissue paper tied with twine.

Craft Fair Photo's

Hello,

Last month my friend and I shared a stall at a local craft expo.  We had a good day and below are a few photo's of my wares that I had for sale.








 
The top picture is tea lights in a handmade box. I added Washi tape around the tea light outside of the tea lights to jazz them up! The next picture is a bottle gift tag. I added a die cut stag head to it and for a bit of fun added a "My Deer" stamp to the bottom of it. Next are more bottle gift tags, then lip balm holders complete with a lip balm. I did two sizes of pegs. The small ones and the large ones. The baking for these I made from Kraft cardstock and used the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set from Stampin Up to make the background.

Baby Shower Card

Hi,

A friend of mine is expecting her first baby and the scan shows it is going to be a little girl. Today she had her baby shower and I made her the card below.  The stamps are from Stampin Up - Baby bundle and the patterned paper is from Die cuts with a View - Nanna's Nursery.


 
 
I also stamped the onesie and the duck from the stamp set on the inside of the card but unfortunately it didn't show up well on the photo.
 
Jemma knew the card was from me as soon as she pulled it out of the gift bag, which I also decorated but forgot to take a photo of!!

Chewbacca Card

Hi There,

As I mentioned in my previous post it was Neil's 50th Birthday. I asked Sophie to make her Daddy a birthday card and she said what do I have she could use. I said anything you want. She looked through my Cricut Cartridges and said she would like to use the Mr Potato Head shadow from the Toy Story Cartridge. She also asked for some felt and black card. I cut the shadow shape for her and left her to create a birthday card for her Daddy.  She is a very clever young lady. She turned 10 this year and she loves to make things. So this is what she came up with.......




She made him a Chewbacca card!!!  She cut the felt out and stuck it on and then drew on a face and added googly eyes.  We just love it. So clever. Neil loved it.

Tardis Card for my Husband's 50th Birthday

Hello,
 
My husband, Neil turned 50 on the 25th October and I made him the card below. I saw the idea in a cards magazine a while ago and thought that would be perfect for him as he loves the TV series, Dr Who. 
I used 1 whole sheet of blue Bazzill cardstock from my stash and tried to get the blue colour as near as possible to the real Tardis. The top two windows are cut from vellum and then thin cuts of blue card taped over the top. I added extra depth to the wooden panels on the doors by adding a smaller square and inking around the edges. The Police Box sign at the back I just typed up in Powerpoint so I could align the wording properly & the sign on the left hand side in the panel is taken from an image online. The light at the top of the box is trimmed by hand and then I used my white gel pen to add the blocks of white colour.


 
 
Neil was very pleased with his card. I also made him a cake and put a Tardis on the cake using icing. Sophie has some mini lego Dr Who characters and she added them to the cake for decoration. So as you may of guessed the theme was Dr who, who is also celebrating it's 50th year this year too.
