A couple of months ago, after I had shown a friend one of the new stamps I was looking at purchasing, he asked if I could make a card for him to give away. As always I felt up for the challenge, so I asked what sort of things he wanted on it. The unusual request included elephant, dragon and pink. Slightly puzzled at how I would pull this one I went to work making this card.
The best thing about today is that I haven’t got to open a single book. It is going to be a relaxing day with a spot of crafting! It’s been over a month since I last many anything, so I’m glad to finally fill the dining room table with my craft bits again! This card is for my other half’s brother who recently bought a house.
One exam done and two to go; all this week. I am so looking forward to the weekend right now! Although I’ve barely done anything but study the past few weeks, another card post was well due! This card and box were the last I made before I packed it all away for the exam preparations. The card was a request from a co-worker and I suggested to make a box to go with. This is the first time I’ve attempted making a box! Let’s have a look then!
What a beautiful day! After several days of heavy rain, darkness and dull colours, the sunshine gives plenty of energy. My exams are approaching as fast as ever, and are only a week away now. Thankfully, stressing is not something I seem very capable of. Although, at times I’m sure it would help get things done a bit swifter. The pile of books still appear to be somewhat within control as well! Anyway, such a beautiful day calls for another card posted!
As might be guessed from my complete lack of blog posts as of late, I have been very busy. The days are rushing past at an unbelievable pace and the exams are getting closer by the minute. At least that is how it feels when the pile of books is only growing taller, instead of smaller! Nevertheless, a blog post was well over due, so here is a new card:
Ah, a few days off! I decided to take a studying break as well, so there has been much card making and other random fun stuff I don’t normally have a lot of time for! Shame it’s all back to normal again on Tuesday, but until then I shall enjoy every moment! Tomorrow all the crafty stuff is going to be tidied away until my exams are done, but I have made a fair few, so I have some to post over the next five weeks! Anyway, time to move onto today’s card:
It’s only going to be a short post today, as time is flying so fast I can barely keep up these last few days! Studying is taking up a lot of time, and the rest of the time is filled with work. Hopefully I have a few hours for some card making on Thursday as it’s an official holiday day, yey! I shall try to get two more cards up this week also. Anyway let’s get today’s card added:
I have never tried it before, the shabby chic style, but I’ve seen so many beautiful cards with the style that I figured now was a good time to give it a go. There is nothing like a good dose of inspiration, and it is Fleur who has made me want to try this style. Her cards are absolutely gorgeous; take a look if you haven’t already! Always the same soft wonderful colours. Here is my take on a shabby chic card:
A co-worker’s 50th birthday was last week; of course a card was due for the special occasion! I asked her sister-in-law was sort of colours would be good and she told me anything purple and perhaps a bit of brown. So that was my starting point! After a quick trip to a localish shop to get some purple paper, as I was all out, it was time to make the card:
With such beautiful spring weather, the card creativity has been limited to bulks! When I feel creative I make a few cards and then I don’t really many anymore that week. I have to get a few made ready as I plan to move my crafty stuff out of sight for over a month shortly, to make sure my studies get at least some attention before the fast approaching exams! My boyfried’s baby cousin’s 7th birthday is coming up in less than a month, so hers was one of the cards I made yesterday.
