Afternoon everyone

Hope you are all staying dry today??

Its just horrible here, more like Autumn! Cold and wet and just not nice for our summer! I mean this time last year I'm sure I was sunning myself in the garden with a good book and my crochet! Ack well, fingers crossed Mr Sun puts his hat back on soon!

Now today I wanted to share a wee card I made for a special person to just THANK them for everything they've done for me the past few years!

 

The lovely papers are Basic Grey Fresh Cut and I just love the gorgeous tones in the pad, tho its almost finished now boohoo!

Morning everyone

I do hope to find you all well??

I'm doing ok, had a good weekend but over did it a bit and ended up rather sore and feeling run down again! Still can't get used to taking it "extra" easy!! Maybe next weekend I'll be back to my wee self, it is my birthday weekend and want to enjoy it!

I spent most of Saturday colouring and Sunday making a few cards! The hours just disappeared on Saturday while I was colouring, perfect wee day for me and my promarkers and my favourite Crafts and Me digital stamps

I used the gorgeous Hannah Lynn Dee Dee image with the fab sunflower design coloured with promarkers and used an oldie Basic Grey 6x6 paper pad

Good Morning all

Well its Friday again and that only means one thing Clare Curd DT post! And this week I have gone all Halloween for you all!

Yeah I made a little pumpkin card with some more of those lush Hey Boy Basic Grey papers

Firstly I drew out my pumpkin on scrap paper than drew round it on a card blank before making panels with the papers, layering the vibrant orange onto brown to help it pop! I distressed the edges with Vintage Photo before sticking together and layer onto the card blank. Added some die-cut leaves then some swirl and gems to finish

A nice easy simple card but perfect for the season!

Well lovelies until next time TTFN

Time to use those scraps!

Good morning lovelies

Its that time on Friday for my wee post for Clare Curd Crafts and this week I have decided to share how easy it is too make some quick cards using scraps! We all have them and so why not use them and create some of those "last minute" cards we're always needing!

The papers scraps I used are Hey Boy from Basic Grey and some cream coloured 5x5 card blanks I had lying around! I wanted to show how easy it is to use up the little scraps you always have left over when you use up most of your paper pad

This wee star card was made from using paper strips about 2cm wide stuck down directly onto the card blank. Next I took the card blanks and cut off one of the fronts and run it through my Silhouette Cameo to get the stars. The using foam pads I stuck it over the papers, just so they peeked through. Added some Hey You stickers, some twine and some enamel dots to finish it off

I made this wee card using one of only a few left over full sheets to make the background paper next added a wee Polaroid shape cut in my cameo stuck with foam pads. I then stamp out Gorjuss Girl- The Lost heart with tuxedo black Memento ink and coloured with Promarkers, before embellishing with some of the cut out stars, twine and more Hey You stickers

Lastly I mad this wee card using lots of the scraps making ribbon style panels, some circles with my dies cutting machine a dies. Adding buttons from my stash with the some twine, some brads I had lying around and Hey You stickers

I hope these wee cards influence you to use on your scraps. Just added some extras from your stash, you can make simple "scrap" cards stand out!

Will till next time
