still using up bits.....

 determined to finish all of the projects that I have cut all the bits out for and just not finished...and try and find the top of my desk!


I am really naughty I have a day die cutting and flower making and then slip them into cello bags and put them into a box tobe made up later  ....that later is now...

Heartfelt creations background die and tattered lace flowers..gems for the flower centres...made up at last!

thanks for popping by today I hope you are staying safe and well...we are about to go into level 2 covid tier on wednesday...the rates here are dropping and people are being ultra careful....staying at home and looking forward to making it through to our vaccinations.....

making some foam flowers...

 having a little play I haven't done many flowers with the foam so after my niece gave me some heartfelt creations to try I had a little go....


I used a trifold heartfelt card blank and the round eyelet window die...cover with paper from one of the paper pads...and then made the flowers using oakberry lane blossom dies...a few other little die cuts and a sentiment inside....the hardest part was positioning the magnet to keep the clasp closed...will I remember to do that first next time ...probably not....

hope you are all well out there and staying safe.

thanks for popping by today and keep safe....

pink carnations....

 some while ago I treated myself to the carnation crafts usb Carnation blooms but haven't really got round to using it...so today I got it out and made a flower or two up....


I used a tattered lace die for the base of the card..easy easel archway...and then made up several carnations using my scan and cut...the sentiment is from an old tonic die...

Day 2 of lockdown and plenty of crafting going on here...I hope you are keeping busy and staying safe and well....
