Vintage Angel Card

December Challenge for Craft for the Craic

Christmas Colours

This card measures 21cm Sq

I cut 1 green sheet of card 21cm Sq and a 2nd one 21cm by 23cm, which I scored  on the 1st line of the box  base side of the crafters companion board, to give a hinge panel and joined both together to create the 21cm card.

I cut a sheet of gold card 19cm Sq and Stuck lace around all 4 sides. slightly gathering it at the corners.

Added a red 19cm Sq panel and 

a 17cm  Sq Printed background

I cut out the music sheet an glittered the edges with fine gold glamour dust.

Stuck a piece of cream cotton lace across the music sheet, and hung the J.O.Y. charms in ribbon hanging from the lace, add 3 little tiny bows to hide the ribbon ends

I cut out the angel and decoupaged the layers

and added some leaves poinsettias and berries.

Chose blue and buff matting layers for the image a sentiment.

December Challenge for Dragons Lair DT

Hi Everyone

Thanks for stopping by.

Here is this months Project for

Dragons Lair

Theme, Christmas Time

I used the trees from the Holly Dayz add on's HERE

and the mat layers from the Holly Dayz Collection HERE 

and overlayed  the letters from the Holly Dayz Alphabet HERE

Each mat was sized 8cm Sq and cut out,

 they were then matted on to Red and Green contrasting Squares  

which were 8 ½ cm Sq and 9 cm Sq Gold

This project is about 40 inches long and about 16 inches high.

The trees are 8 inches high, I printed the trees 6 times for each tree, I folded them in half and stuck the them back to back.

and edged each layer with red glitter.

Arranging them on to a Curved panel strip for the top, and a straight panel for the bottom,

I joined them together with a strengthened strip of card

and then hid the join, with the bows, poinsettias, leaves and berries.

Three Angel Cards I made today.

Baby'f 1st Christmas card

Box aperture card

Main card when scored is 13½ cm by 21cm ( I trim a C5 card to create this size card)

The top panel is 17½ cm by 21cm 

And the aperture was cut on the inside of the large oval template from X Cut

It was scored on the 1^st  and 2^nd  line of the lid side of the crafters companion board on both sides.

The music sheet and angel were stuck to a 13½ cm by 21cm panel.

The aperture panel is then attacked to a 13½ cm by 21cm panel to create the box

Which is then stuck to the main card.

I make this card this size, so that it fits a box made from A4 card.

Box measurements

Cut an SA4 sheet of card 21cm by 28 ½ cm

Score on the 2^nd line of the base and lid on a crafters companion board.

Christmas tags and toppers

Hi Everyone

Thanks for stopping by

It's a truly miserable day here in Kilcoole, Raining cats and dogs.

I never get time to play with my craft stuff, 

as I am always so busy.

So this morning I took an hour off, and sat and played with the stuff left on the table from last night.

(we had our monthly card making fun evening)

At the fun evening, I pick a theme,

(Christmas Tags and toppers) this month.

 Then make a goody bag, and fill the table with all sorts of lovely things. The ladies then get to play.

Anne Rowe normally wins the biggest number of finished projects, and last night made 10 tags and 2 cards.

Here's the ones I made this morning

(as I helps everyone with bows and designs last night)

With out the hanging loop, these would make great toppers.

Craft for the Craic November Challenge.

Hello Everyone

thanks for stopping by.

Craft for the Craic

November Challenge.

The Theme this month is a birthday.

I've gone for a Paris Fashion theme

Handmade Miniature Paper dress,

Images and backgrounds were found on pinterest,

I designed this little dress for a class last year, it has a double bodice which I embossed and added the little gems and flowers to.

a stretch crepe paper underskirt was stitched to gather it. and the Lace over-skirt was also stitched to gather it. these two layers are stuck between the double bodice.

I added a lace finish to the side of the card and over the greeting.

some pretty little ribbon flowers, a sparkly gems flourish. 

and a tiny Eiffel Tower charm.
Because the dress is quiet weighty, I had to line the insert with a black background, and also mat and layer the back of card, so added the lovely Marilyn Munroe Quote.

If you would like instructions for the dress

please get in touch HERE
