Design team make.....Birthday Teatime

Hello everyone...Genny here.For todays design team make I have used a stamp set from Hobby Art stamps called Teatime. It is a great stamp to create your own tea table. As everyone has seen lately..tea, china and old fashioned cloths have made a great comeback. For this card I stamped the cloth edging, teapot,jug,cups and cake stand with my Versafine inkpad. I then used my lyra watercolours to paint them. I also watercoloured the large cake and a collection of little cakes. The background was created by doing a watercolour wash onto a piece of watercolour paper. I mounted this onto a piece of pink backing card. Also from Hobby Art I used the verse and mounted that onto the same pink card. I finally added the two pieces of bunting which are from a Joanna Sheen Signature Die.

Following on from last weeks paper cutting make..I decided to do some thing different. I am lucky enough to be on the design team for Jiggery Makery. This is the team belonging to Adele, Julie's daughter. I decided to use one of her fabulous pin up digis and to create a piece of papercutting. I took the shape of the skirt and drew a design. I then cut it out and mounted it onto a piece of red paper.

I really enjoyed making both these cards and after all, this is why we all craft. Nothing makes me relax more than to work on a card or canvas project. Any thing that you need craft wise..please get in touch with Julie..here at JB-Crafting Supplies.

I hope that the weather is being kind to you, wherever you are. The sun is shining here in the mountains, so I can craft in peace because all my cats are outside, sunning themselves. Usually when I get my crafting goodies, they all arrive, wanting to help..lol. Well until next week..take care and happy crafting.

Design Team Makes

Good afternoon everyone...Genny here. My first make for the design team this week features an apron. When I was looking at the flowers and wondering what to make, I was reminded of a pinny that I had as a little girl....so I decided to make one. I reduced the size of the design to create a border and then cut it into an apron shape. i then repeated the shape in a darker blue card. I coloured the design with my copics and put both together. I went round the  whole design with a white pen to create a faux stitch effect. I then added some green ribbon. I cut some spoon shapes,coloured them with my cpoics and added them to the pocket.

My next creation came to me while I was sitting looking at a pile of the flowers that I had cut out. I decided to make a piece of art for the wall. I cut out two heart shapes and covered them with coloured flowers. A really simple thing but it looked good. It's going to hang on the stairs wall.

The picture below shows yet another of my handbag creations. I used yet another of my handbag templates...I didn't realise that I had so many..lol.I made it to match with the apron..using the dark blue and white daisies. I added a diecut butterfly, coloured to match the ribbon. This template makes this tiny handbag a gift bag as well..perfect  to put a small gift such as a bracelet in. When you look at the price of gift bags in the shops it makes so much sense to make your own. I'm sure that Julie here at JB CraftingSupplies will be able to source some templates or boards for you

Well I hope that you like this weeks selection of makes. I hope that you all had a fabulous bank holiday weekend. So until next time..take care and happy crafting

Design team Post

Good afternoon everyone..Genny here. This week I have been using the wonderful and versatile digi designs by Adele at Jiggery Makery. I have been lucky enough to be given them by Julie here at Jb-Crafting Supplies to make some items for the design team. Oh I love to play with flowers.
My first card is using the flowers to decorate the frame. I thought that this would be a nice card to send to someone who was having a difficult time..we all have them and it's always nice to know that someone is thinking of us. The leaves and frame were from my stash...if you check out the goodies that Julie has in stock you will always find something similar. The flowers and leaves I have coloured using my copic markers.

My second project using the flowers was this handbag card. This handbag I made using a board from my stash..there are lots of similar bags around..either on a board or using a template. The nice thing about this bag is that it works as a giftbag, allowing you to put a small gift inside. I know so many of my lady friends that have a passion for handbags and shoes..this would be perfect for them.

My last project features the flower that I zentangled last week in black and white. I was asked if you could zentangle something when it had been coloured. I said of course..and here is one that I have coloured in different shades of pink.I coloured the flower first using my copics and then zentangled over the top

Well that's me for this week..I have had so much fun creating using these flowers..I'm sure that there are many more ideas floating around. I hope that you all have a fantastic week..so until next time..take care and happy crafting.

Design Team Post

Hello everyone..Genny here. For this months design team project we were given some great flower and face designs by Adele...otherwise known as Jiggery Makery. As most of you know, I love working with flowers,so I have been having a good play. For my first card I decided to make a handbag and use the flowers to decorate it. The handbag shape was made using a board from the Glitter girls. I added a handle and then decorated it using the flowers and some die cut foliage. The digi design I took into a graphics programme and reduced the size and then coloured them using my copic markers. But you could colour them using any medium..other alcohol pens, acrylics or watercolours. I then added some peeloff buckles and a diecut butterfly. I know that Julie has some wonderful dies in stock..so why not have a look. The bag itself opens up so that you can write your message inside.

My second card is one of the flowers blown up and then I have zentangled the petals.  Zentangle is just doodling really, filling the space with small doodles or patterns. I then cut the flower out and mounted it onto some black glittercard and then in turn matted that onto some black card. I love tangling..it is so relaxing and I can say that it is one of the few times that I'm quiet..lol. Well I hope that you like my cards for this week. If you ever have any questions, I'm more than happy to answer..please get in touch with either me or Julie and I'll get back to you.So until next time..take care and happy crafting

WII Boy Birthday Card No. 2

Hi everyone!
It's been another lovely day here in South Yorkshire, I hope you are
all enjoying the sunshine.
I have been out all day today, this morning I went to a class to learn how to do
Pergamano, which made a lovely change for me and I really enjoyed it.
Then this afternoon I had my card making class, I will show you the card later on in the week.

I made this card for Carl's birthday using the WII boy download that I used for Jake's card.
I then downloaded some pictures of the internet to complete the card.

I have now got to go and finish off my gardening.

See you all soon.
