Morning my lovelies

Just wee me sharing a wee card I made a few weeks ago but never had a chance to share

 

I used the cute little Gorjuss The Fox girl and coloured here with Spectrum Noirs and teamed her with some American Craft Designer Papers

 

I still think Gorjuss Girls are my all time favourite range of stamps! What about you, do you have a favourite range of stamps?? 

Well I'm off to work on some secret things that I'll hopefully be able to share with you in a few weeks time! Its gonna be a fun MESSY time heee

Gorjuss Paper Piecing xx

Well hello my lovely crafters

Hello to Friday again, time for another wee post for Clare Curd Crafts and this week I have gone with an oldie but a goody for you all

Using another of my Gorjuss Girl stamps I decided to do a little paper piecing. I haven't done this for ages and for got how simple it was and how much fun.

Firstly I made a simple layout on my card blank with my American Crafts Shoreline papers and some ribbon from my stash. I also outlined all the papers with a red alcohol marker

I then stamped out my lovely little Puddles of love stamp onto some more of the pattern papers and my white cardstock. I then cut out the different parts I wanted in pattern paper

After colouring my image with alcohol markers I then paper pieced the pieces into place. You can see below I paper pieced the jacket, umbrella and boots

Next I cut out the image leaving a tiny small white border before adding foam pads to the back and sticking down on the card. Lastly I added a little sentiment and some embellishments I had in my stash

and thats it finished!!

A really quick simple card that brings all your beautiful papers together

Well thats me TTFN

Hello everyone

its Friday which means its time form a post from little me, over on Clare Curds and wanted to share  the stunning summer themed paper Shoreline from American Crafts!

I'm such a paper magpie (as some of you already know) and these papers just needed to be in my stash and I knew they would make the perfect birthday card for a special friend

The wee card is a "Z" fold and is soooo simple to make

Here's how I did it

I used the lush papers, card blanks and some yellow card stock from my stash to make the main card and everything else I used to decorate was in my stash too

Firstly I took 2 to 6x6 card blanks folding them and then taking one and cutting an inch of one edge and then cutting the other card down to 4.5" square

Then I started decorating the inside and front panel of the large card by layer with the yellow card and the Shoreline papers

after that I stuck the small card blank to the inside of the large card with the opening going the opposite way. This forms the "Z" shape of the card, then decorate

I then used my spellbinders to make a small ornate frame for a birthday sentiment, you could use the Nestabilities Labels 25 to get the same effect and even better is they are on sale!

Then using my trusty Silhouette cameo I cut out this layered Bike added gems and flowers to the basket and highlighting with a black marker

and after added some Craftwork Sentiments and more gems the card is finished

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it??
Well its party time here tomorrow with hubbies brother turning 40 and I've still loads to do!
Till next time
