Let's go shopping!

Hey lovely peeps!

This is a schedule post! I thought I'd have a go to see how easy it is, and if it actually works! Knowing me, something will go wrong! hehe!

BUT!

If you're reading this, then.....IT WORKED!!!!!

Well, the card I have to show you today, was created from another one of my Kanban kits.  I think it's from the 'So femine' kit.  Forgive me if I'm wrong as having a 'blank' moment! lol

I entered this card into the Facebook 'We love Kanban' Group - for their November challenge!

I so miss Kanban still.  I just loved their kits, mind you, I have loads to keep me busy for a long while yet!

So, that's it.  I shall be tuning in tomorrow to see if this scheduling malarky has worked or not!

Until then, take care all,

Happy crafting!

happy 70th!

Hi Peeps! forgive my missing in action around blogland, facebook etc.  I'm battling with ill health inconveniences at the moment.  I have tried being crafty but what with my mojo taking a break & my health not having the energy to go looking for it, well, things have been much of a standstill..

Hey ho, onwards & upwards, huh?!

I have managed in past couple of days, to create this card which I am sharing for all to see! Some may already recognise where I got my inspiration from, but if not, then I will tell you.  I follow a lovely, talented lady who blogs & youtube's her makes & has a wonderful way of 'teaching' her card craft.  Her name is Christina and she is from flowersribbonsandpearl & Card-making-magic.com.  She has a gentle way of explaining & teaching what she has learnt along the way.  I am in awe of her designs & wanted to create a card very similar to her designs.  My measurements are not the same as Christina's, I think this was a 6 x 4 size hinged-card blank I created & all my layers were measured out and not one die was used in the layers although you can see I have used the lattice die cut from Spellbinders & also the Spellbinders decorative label 28 die cut topper at the front of card.  I really like the way Christina also embosses the inside of her card & adds matching ribbon too; for my inside of card, I did the same & added another label 28 die cut over my verse.  I was really pleased how this card turned out. 

 Here's a side view where you can see the embossing & verse.

I made a matching box to present the card in.  The card & box were both made from Centura Pearl card.

So, there's my little make & I so hope the recipient likes her card!

Just want to say thank you to Christina for her lovely blog & tutorials & for the enjoyment I have reading, watching & learning from her.

Until next time,

Steampunk!
