Fabric Flower with Spellbinders™

Today I'm embarking on a whole new experience - I've made a video!

(Actually, without the help of youngest teenager I wouldn't have made this video!)

It is a fabric flower tutorial using the Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur Die Cutting Machine and

Blossom Three Nestabilities Die Template.

 I hope you enjoy it, if so please leave a comment.

I'm hoping to do a video every few weeks so in a year or two they should be polished to perfection!



Chicken Soup - Recipe #39

My second blog post today!

This week Chicken Soup has joined in with the Royal Wedding celebrations and provided this wonderful patriotic inspirational picture.

I grabbed the opportunity to show you again one of the little gift bags that I made

complete with chain and charms.

With extra Bank Holidays I hope you get a chance to craft and join in with the challenge.

Have a great weekend.

Red White & Blue

To celebrate today's Royal Wedding I put together a simple layered and embossed card with

Spellbinders™ S4-297 Nested Crowns and LF-001 Creative Book Pages.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and maybe you are partaking in a street party!

Sending Thanks

I've been busy making lots of thank you cards and this is just a small selection of them!

I wanted to send cards to all the cross promotional companies that kindly sent goodies to all of the new Spellbinders™ Paper Arts Design Team.

I received amazing products from lots of famous companies and

of course Spellbinders™ spoiled us all completely!

I made these cards using the Grand Calibur Die Cutting Machine and the following dies -

 S4-293 Lacey Circles and S4-058 Daisy Heads.

I will be queuing at the Post Office after Easter to send them on their way with lots of thanks.

I love Easter!

I love Easter, nearly as much as Christmas!

We spent Good Friday at my sister's lovely home with our traditional

Easter Egg Hunt, started over 10 years ago when our children were small - 

they are all teenagers now but they all still love egg hunting!

The masterpiece above was put together as a table centre - I managed to eat quite a lot of it later in the day!

Elliott and I in my sister's gorgeous garden, that's the apple orchard behind - good for scrumping..apparently!!

Just a few of the Spring flowers adorning their home.

I hope you are all enjoying Easter and eating as much chocolate as possible!

Chicken Soup - Recipe #38

It's Chicken Soup time again, this week the inspirational picture is this notepaper.

For my interpretation I chose to go with the lines and incorporated the word 'Love'.

I used My Minds Eye - Be Loved papers and embellishments, 

Spellbinders™ Nestabilities Eyelets Circles,

Martha Stewart butterfly punch and some ribbon and pearls from my stash.

Be inspired and have a lovely Easter!
