Skateboard Dude

I made this card for Fred, who will be 11 this week - he's really into boarding so this set from Woodware Boy Zone FRCL058 was perfick.  I used a 5.5" square card and cut out the zig-zag pattern and glittered the edges, backed it with the Doodlebug Stars & Stripes paper.   The dudes clothes were paper pieced.  Sic innit?

Crimson? Delights....

This is one of the latest flowers we made at Jane Gill's Floral Punch Craft classes at The Glitterpot www.theglitterpot.co.uk.    The flower is called Crimson Delight (we believe it maybe an Australian flower).    It's made from five different punches.    I can thoroughly recommend these classes, please don't think you couldn't possibly do it - we all started sometime and once you've got the bug for FPC there's no going back!



Oh!  and BTW - who said Crimson Delights HAVE to be crimson????   Poetic licence....

The secrets out!!

I was very flattered to be asked to make a set of Wedding Stationery for the Woodware Christmas Catalogue using Jane Gill's Wedding Set - scary or what?   I loved it, despite the sleepless nights and I actually found myself walking around with an "idea's pad"!    It was great.   Unfortunately I had to keep 'schtum' about it until the magazine was released, which was really hard when I so wanted to share it with my crafting friends, so I hope they forgive me.    Here's are two of the cards I made, the rest can be seen on http://www.woodware.co.uk/catalogues01.php



It's a beautiful set of stamps - I stamped the hearts on the top card onto shrink plastic - the heart on the second card is the actual size.   The heart set is


WOODWARE

BUBBLE HEARTS - CLEAR MAGIC SET
