A few cards I have made in the last two days.

Had a little creating binge over the past few days, here are some of the cards I have made.

Saving money on backing paper.

I always like to try and save pennies and also experiement with different backing materials, the card below is wrapping paper used as backing. 

I think it looks quite striking, and it really helps save money.

Simplicity

I have been making more Christmas cards and had a very productive day yesterday. The power was out most of the day so I decided to do some crafting and make good use of the time.

I made around 50 cards with using the same verse of scripture but all slightly different design

I left them very simple and I am pleased with the end result.

Mini Christmas Cards.

I have started making Christmas cards as I have many to make, I like to try to send as many hand made ones as possible to family and friends.

Below are six mini decoupage Christmas cards with matching envelopes.

Jumbo cards

Well your probaly thinking what are Jumbo cards , well they are 12 cms by 8.5 cms cards. I had a go at a private swap and here they are.

I might have a go at making postcards because they are a little different to sending a notelet to  a person.

Powder blue Birthday Cards

I have used one of my favourite colours here for three birthday cards, and yes they are vintage ladies but I just love using these type of images.

On an ATC roll

Now that I have my crafting stash sorted I am making up for lost time and making lots of ATC's. Here are a few I have made so far. I am trying to use different textures on each card to make them a little different.

Its a hoot.

I got these images and papers from a craft magazine and I came up with these two cards. I had a real hoot!

Card order.

 I made a set of 6 blank cards for an order. They are all vintage ladies. I just love making cards with images like these.

Its been far too long.

Sorry its been awhile but I have now moved settled in and found most of my craft stuff. I have fallen in love with my new home and hopefully will get more creatively inspired as I am situated in a beautifullly scenic place.
 
Here are four small canvas panels I painted today for my bedroom.

New ATC's

These have been done for a monthly swap I am involved in. As at the moment I am having a huge sort out and put alot of my craft stuff away. There is a possibilty we will be moving in about 6 weeks and I want to be organised.

Painted ATC- acylics

An ATC group I belong too sets a theme for a ATC challenges, this one was black and white with a hint of red in any medium. So I used acrylic paints.

Its quite difficult to get much detail on such a small piece, but hopefully I have captured moonlight over water with harbour lights shining through.

Cards, card, cards.

I have just completed a 24 card order. Here are a few I have done.

I try to make each one different.

Ivy and flowers

This card was made using ivy rub on transfers, and a four layered decoupaged flower in the centre.

I used some more ivy for inside the card.

Birdhouse ATC's finished.

I belong to a few ATC groups and these have been made for a birdhouse ATC. It is a 6 for 6 swap and I had loads of fun making them.
