Barrettes

Loved using Papertrey Ink's Clever Barrette dies and some lovely wool felt to make some barrette covers for my sweet niece:

Have a purrfect day

I have a few cat-loving friends, so thought a few cards like this wouldn't come amiss. The cat stamp is from Papertrey Ink, the wreath from a Studio Calico set I picked up in a sale.  Colouring with copics.

Applique card

This is a recent attempt to combine two of my crafting interests - quilting and cardmaking! The card features an applique flower (a piece of leftover Amy Butler quilting fabric):

Supplies
Paper - PTI stamper's select white
Stamps - PTI Asian Fusion (sentiment)
Ink - Versafine onyx black
Accessories -Fabric, sewing machine, PTI felt

Just because bling

Here's another card which didn't get picked up by Cards Magazine in a recent publication call. I just love these colours (inspired by Crate Paper's Restoration line) and these flower rosettes are super easy to make.  Gather ribbon (using a running stich close to one edge) and layer it on a circle die cut.  I adhered mine using scor tape but you could use fabric glue. Out a button or brad in the centre and you're done :)

Supplies
Paper - PTI stamper's vintage cream, Crate Paper Restoration patterned paper
Stamps - PTI Giga Guidelines (sentiment)
Ink - Versafine onyx black, PTI vintage tea dye duo
Accessories -Vintage lace, PTI enchanted evening & raspberry fizz satin ribbon, Zva crystal flourish, PTI button, Martha Stewart rinestone, sewing machine

Fly away with me

I've decided I love this colour combination of grey, deep red and teal. Here's a card using PTI's Matstack 3 collection and a gorgeous balloon from Up Up and Away. Some days I wish I could fly away like this!!

Supplies

Fabric just because

I recently submitted some cards to a publication call from Cards Magazine. One  got picked up (yay!) but here's one that didn't get accepted.  It features some fabric scraps from one of my favourite designers ever, Amy Butler.

Make it Monday #5

I've finally had time to make a card for a Make it Monday challenge over at PTI - mainly because this was something I'd already started working on!  This week's challenge is to incorporate distressed edges. I used some white ink around the edges of this card and also distressed the top layer. I didn't want anything that looked too distressed, so just used my fingernail!

Supplies
Paper - PTI scarlet jewel, DCWV Marisposa paper stack
Stamps - PTI Butterfly Dreams (sentiment)
Ink - Versamark, PTI fresh snow
Accessories - Tulle, white embossing powder, clear rinestones, sewing machine, clear rinestones
