Crocheting for the Children

I've been ever so busy trying to get some crochet finished for a baby that is on the way.

A baby blanket, baby hat and baby booties make a lovely gift for a mum to be.

One of the floor managers at Create and Craft is due to go on maternity leave very soon and knows that she is to have a baby boy. I thought it would be nice to show my appreciation to her.

I'm really pleased how these turned out and will be taking them this weekend when I am back there for the Hunkydory Pick of the week.

I also made a Minions style hat for Jack as he is crazy about them, I loved it so much that I made a smaller version too.

 

Details of how to make the hats are on the previous posting from me so check it out, very easy to make.

Pretty Ballerinas Deluxe Card Collection

This is the most beautiful stunning imagery that I have seen in such a long time.

Hunkydory have totally given sophisticated elegance to this collection for our card making.

 

It's just stunning isn't it?

With this one I tried to give a Tutu effect at the bottom, the collection has both sepia and monotone colour ways and rich gold and silver foiling.

Anyone that love the arts is sure to love this collection.

Flight of the Butterflies

Be still my beating heart, that is the exact words that I said when I received this kit for my Shows on Create and Craft Saturday today at 3pm and Sunday 9am and 3pm.

I started to prep my demos for the shows and just couldn't stop, the more I used it the more I loved it. This set is quite different our usual Hunkydory sets, it craves to be used and explored.

 

I hope you can join me for some inspiration.

Poppy Garden Luxury Card Collection

Those that know me will also know that I adore Poppies, I love to see fields that a a carpet of reds with the bloom of wild Poppies dancing in the breeze.

That is exactly the feeling that I get with the new Poppy Garden Luxury card collection from Hunkydory.

This collection will launch on Create and Craft on Friday 25th September at 12pm with Annemarie and I will step in on Sunday 10am.

Due to family commitments at the moment, I will only be doing the Sunday Shows for this collection so I hope you will be able to join me.

I have been grabbing a little me time where I could and managed to have some fun with the stamps, card blanks and some of the luxury collection before my shows.

I love that you can get creative with this set.

This was made using one of the Fold Me card blanks, I've had great fun using these and have more to show you in my shows on Sunday.

Again using one of the card blanks and a stamp set, Forever Poppies, this set has seam to seam designs so you can get really creative using them.

I think this is one collection that you just don’t want to miss.

Adorable Scorable with Alcohol Inks

After using the Brusho Art Paints, I suddenly realised that I could get a stunning vibrant effect using the Hunkydory Adorable Scorable and Alcohol Inks. well I wasn’t wrong, I decided to use colours that I would normally shy away from and used yellows and orange and I’m thrilled with the effect.

After such a stressful few weeks it was good to get in the craft room and experiment, I truly champion Adorable Scorable by Hunkydory, if you haven’t yet tried it then you are missing out, quality smooth coated 350gsm card stock with flexible ink that is amazing.

 

I used cotton white Adorable Scorable to stamp and ink onto and cut some small slithers from the mellow sage colour to make spiral foliage.

I’m back at Create and Craft from Monday with a fabulous deal of new Hunkydory sets at 9am and 6pm Sky Chanel 674.

Show Cards

A couple of cards from the Launch shows for Hunkydory, Festive Windows of the Heart I think is the most beautiful set, I love good poetry cards and seemly so does the recipients, when I receive a card it is the first thing I look at.

The imagery on this set is also very beautiful some contemporary some traditional and some classic.

The above card started off as a concept card but I cut it up to make this one a little different.

The above card was made from one of the topper sheets and one of the background sheets.

A bit of vintage with the postcard sheet.
