It’s been a while since I posted anything again. Work still takes up quite a lot of time, but lately I have spent a lot more time on crafting as well. Soon I will get more added here as well. I must have made about 30 cards so far this month. It’s a bit therapeutic and it’s nice to be properly back into it.

This card was made on request by a co-worker. She picked a card I’ve posted on the blog previously and said she wanted something similar, but slightly bigger and purple was a must. You can see the card she picked out on the right here. This is what I came up with.

I have used a pre-coloured topper fromThe Hobby House. The purple paper is Papermania. There are a lot of Wild Orchid Crafts products used as well: all the flowers, the purple ribbon and bow, and the heart shaped doily. The lace is purchased at Bikuben, and the punchers are by Martha Stewart.

I have had a few requests from ladies at work the past couple of months to make cards for them. A couple of them have even been to celebrate other ladies at work, like this one. They were quite specific that it was certainly not to be very girly. Dark colours were to prefer and not a lot of embellishments.

I chose one of the pre-coloured images I have laying about and showed it to a couple of co-workers and when they agreed it would work well, I carried on and built the card around it. The image is purchased at The Hobby House, as are the pearls and the ribbon. The purple and green paper is from Paper Cellar, and I don’t remember where the other is from. All the flowers are by Wild Orchid Crafts and the numbers have been made with an alphabet die set by QuicKutz.

Relaxing on the swing

I’ve just got back from a short holiday and realised I forgot to schedule any cards… Oh well, I’ll try to make up for it by posting a few in the latter part of the month instead. I have coloured in a few images recently and will soon be posting the cards made with those images. Hopefully I’ll have some time towards the end of the month to make cards with more of them as well, unless I end up just colouring more… Additionally, I’ve made some bookmarks which I will soon be showing off!

The card I’m posting today has paper by Papermania and Paper Cellar. The pre-coloured image is by The Hobby House and I used copic markers to give it a bright blue summery backgorund. All the flowers and ribbon are by Wild Orchid Crafts. Additionally, I’ve used punches by Martha Stewart.

Disco power

Posted on by Liz

A week or two ago, I was sat looking at my craft stuff, unable to decide what to make. So, I asked my boyfriend to pick some colours, and he did… Purple, orange and green. Orange. I don’t like orange. I don’t know why, but I tend to do my best to avoid this colour when crafting. But, I decided to go all out and use a bright orange. In addition he gave me the theme of ‘disco‘. To be honest I felt at a complete loss, but soon I started coming up with ideas and this is the result of it. Turns out I actually really quite like it!

The paper are from Panduro, Papermania and Paper Cellar. The pre-coloured topper is by The Hobby House. I have used card candy by Craftwork Cards and flowers by Wild Orchid Crafts. The circles are made with Spellbinder dies and the leaves with a Martha Stewart puncher.

Today’s card is a fun one. At least I think it’s fun. I decided to move out of my comfort zone and make something completely different to what I usually make.

This is a step card, the blank from that is from Craftwork cards, probably anyway. I should remember these things, but I don’t. The papers however, are Papermania (purple) and Pion (green). I have used ribbon from Wild Orchid Crafts and the lace I don’t remember where I bought. I have used punches from Martha Stewart (butterflies) and Panduro (flowers). I don’t remember where the buttons are from either, but the pre-coloured image and sentiment stamp is by Lili of the Valley.
