Freebie Friday

Good evening Bloggers,

I hope you had a good Easter weekend and did something nice and didn't eat too much chocolate?

We went to Southwell and visited the Minster and the workhouse, we have never been before and it made a change. The workhouse was quite interesting and took us 2 hours to go round it, I would say it is worth a visit if you are in the area.

The Freebie for this week is a set of cat and dog silhouettes, as usual you can download it from the free download page on my main site

Freebie Friday-bendy card tutorial.

Hello everyone, I've only just sat down in enough time to tell you about this weeks Freebie Friday.

I've been getting ready for club tomorrow and then both my son and then my husband both decided they wanted hair cuts, so it is now 10.20 pm and I'm just doing my blog!

This weeks Freebie is a tutorial on how to make a bendy card, as in the picture below.

As usual you will find the download on the tutorial page of my main site.

Have a lovely weekend, all for now, Tina x

Freebie Friday-Easter inserts

Good evening everyone.

I cant believe it is now over a year since I started this blog! It certainly doesn't seem that long.

I have had a busy week but have had time to design my samples for a demo I am doing this week.

The demo is for the half in, half out technique using dies. I have used Tonic ones for my samples.

This card is one I made because I was playing with some new Marianne dies I bought at the NEC.

The Freebie Friday this week is a set of A5 inserts with an Easter theme. As always you can download them from the free download page on my main site.

Have a good weekend, all for now, Tina x

Latest projects

Good evening everyone, I hope you have all had a nice weekend?

I had a card from each of my children today but that was as far as the Mothers Day thing went!

I have been busy today making cards with a couple of the new dies I recently bought.

This first one is the Tattered Lace oriental panda die, which is so lovely you don't need to do much with it for a great card.

This next one is a white on white card, which can be really effective. I have used a new Marianne die for the shaped top, Petras mirror for the main shape and then various Marianne dies for all the other embellishments. Some handmade flowers to finish it off.

I hope you like them!

Freebie Friday-Easter digistamps

Good evening bloggers,

It is turning out to be a lovely evening, the rain has dried up and the sun is trying to make an appearance before it goes down. It is supposed to be a lovely weekend, so enjoy it while it lasts!

Happy Mothers day for Sunday to all those mums out there. Also my thoughts are with those who no longer have their mums with them. Just remember to appreciate them while you do.

The Freebie today is a set of Easter digistamps.

As always you will find the stamps on the Free download page of my main site. If you are a regular visitor you will notice I have had a bit of a shuffle and put the tutorials on a separate page as it was getting a bit full.

Due to such a busy week, I haven't been making much this week, I am at club tomorrow, so I will upload my projects over the weekend.

All for now, Tina x 

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.

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
