Freebie Friday-Card tutorial

Good evening everyone, I hope you are all well?
I am posting the freebie early this week as I am going to the craft show at the NEC tomorrow and I will be late home and probably very tired, its hard work spending money!!! Maybe I'll see you there?

The pictures below are the card I have made a tutorial for which as usual can be downloaded from my main site under the free tutorial section.

Front

Inside

The card itself is very simple, it is more the decorating that takes the time!

Here are some other cards I have made this week:

This card was made using the Marianne Anja corner die on all 4 corners of a square piece of card, matted onto a coloured card. The topper is a little notelet I have had for ages, stamped with a Clarity message and a bow to finish it off.


This card was made by measuring 10cm from each side of an embossed A4 card and drawing a pencil line. The semi circle die is from Heartfelt creations and was cut on the line each side. I then scored the card, top and bottom of the die cut area. I used a Martha Stewart punch and punched 2 flower borders which I glued on the front panel of the card. The little flowers on the semi circles come in the same die set, I then used Cosmic shimmer glue in the centres of all the flowers on the card. The topper is a Spellbinder die and so is the main flower in the centre. 


For this card, I stamped Little Claires beach hut and coloured with pro markers. I die cut it using an Xcut ornate frame die and mounted it onto a square card which has been embossed with an Embossalicious frame folder and inked over.


Thats all for now, Tina x

Freebie Friday

Good evening Bloggers,
I cant believe its Friday again! 
I have had a busy week with club meetings yesterday and another one tomorrow!
Here are the cards I made yesterday:
This Bookatrix card was made at club yesterday afternoon, it has been a long time since I made a Bookatrix card!
These stepper cards were made last night at another club.



Freebie Friday
This weeks freebie has been made with the onset of Spring in mind, there are two sheets, one pyramage sheet of two daffodil pictures and the other one is faux pyramage which gives all the effect without the cutting!
As usual you can find the freebie on my main site.
Have a good weekend, all for now, Tina x

Freebie Friday-Cute mice stamps part 3

Good evening everyone, I hope you are looking forward to a lovely weekend?
I have had a busy week as always, I've been playing at some new projects for a change.
I've had this chest of drawers in my craft room for ages and I was fed up with them being so boring, so I decided to jazz them up a bit.

 Before


After


I made a picture frame card for the first time this week as well.


Now to the freebie, to conclude the collection, you can download the final part of the cute mice stamps on the main site.
All for now, Tina x

Freebie Friday- Cute mouse digistamps part 2

Good evening everyone, its freebie Friday again!
I cant believe how quick its come around again! I hope you liked the freebie last week, if so you are in for a treat as this weeks freebie is the second part of the collection.
As usual you can download the freebie from my main site.

This week I have been busy with my latest toy! I have loads of silicone moulds which I normally use UTEE or modelling clay with to make my own embellishments but this time I have been using hot glue sticks with my hot glue gun to fill the moulds and they come out lovely!

These are some I made and then painted with pearl acrylic paints.


I went for a workshop yesterday with Cutting Edge crafts, we had a lovely afternoon with them in a lovely relaxed atmosphere with David being very patient and kind to my ladies, here is one of the cards we made which is a double dutch fold card.


We will definitely go for more workshops with David and I can recommend them to you. 

All for now, Tina x

Craft and chat club

Good evening Bloggers,
I hope you are all having a good week? 
Mine is better than last week as I am feeling so much better, I had a horrific cough for two weeks which with the help of antibiotics is starting to get better.
I was at Craft and Chat club last Saturday and made a couple of cards using a Sizzix Bigz die which cuts 1 panel and then you link however many you want together to make a concertina album. Here are the two I have made:



I hope you like them, personally I cant choose my favourite between them!
All for now, Tina x

Freebie Friday

Hello everyone!
I am sorry for the lack of posts but it was my sons' 18th last Monday and so we travelled down to Sussex for a family get together to celebrate his birthday. I have been ill with a terrible cough which has been upsetting my asthma for the last 12 days and so haven't got much done lately. 
Today's freebie is a set of 4 cute mice digistamps, they are really sweet and I hope you like them! 
Hopefully I will start to feel better this week and get round to some card making.
Have a good week, see you soon, Tina x
P.S. As usual you will find the free stamps on my main site
