DT Challenge - Papermill direct

Well you've got to be in it to win it so I thought I might as well have a go! The challenge is Autumn and this is what I came up with!

I managed to use some papermill card as well which I recently acquired, the Kraft card and the dark brown as well as dark blue. Love the Kraft Card.

I also used this as an excuse to play with my cameo. So I had a lovely nose around the online store for the sentiment (cut on vinyl) and the leaves. The decorative corner at the bottom of the easel is also from the online store!

Here's a bit more detail.............


Thanks for looking and happy crafting! x

New Craft room :-)

No card making for me this weekend yet as I have been sorting out the new craft room. Finally the move is over and more storage has arrived so have spent the weekend organising (although I am sure I will still be moving things around!). Most of the units are from Ikea but the table is actually a dining room table I picked up from Tesco in the sale....should have been £250 and I got it for £47. It fits perfectly and some shelves from ikea fit perfectly on the side on top of it, it stills leave me space to work. One of the units from ikea we have put on wheels and it homes my cameo so can wheel that across whenever I need it. Just need to sort out my wireless printer and I am sorted. Hoping to make a few cards later today but depends if Jennifer will sleep!

There are some cards from earlier on this week.

Spellbinders


I'm not sure I like this card yet! I love the colours, dies and stamping on the card but I don't like the flowers which I have stuck down! Was trying to keep the card flat for postage reasons but think it needs more 3D flowers. May have to unstick this and alter!

Have a wonderful Christmas

I'm back! After what seems like a very long 2 month break to move house and have a baby I have made it back into my craft room (all brand new!). Will upload some photos soon when I have finally finished unpacking - just waiting on some more shelves!

So I thought I mark my return with as Christmas card. I have used an owl stamp from willow designs (which I got from the NEC last Nov). I then coloured with my spectrum noirs (TN1-6, TB4-6 and IB1). I used IB1 to outline round the whole image. I then used a personal impressions stamp for the sentiment. I created the ice rink with some glossy accents and some diamond sparkles from hunkydory. I mounted on some blue card and then onto a white 6x6. Inside the card I stamped the owl again in grey to carry the theme through.
