An evening with Jack

We had a card making evening, Jack informs me that he loves to craft and that he saves bottles and toilet roll cardboard to craft with but his Mam is very naughty and keeps throwing it out ha ha! his mam informs me that he hides them in his bed and then they spill over onto the floor and his bedroom is like a pigsty.

Somehow I believe his Mam but one thing is for sure, he has a flare for crafting and loves it when we craft together.

The Hunkydory Magazine from Create and Craft had not one but two paper crafting packs free with it and Jack fell in love with this set.

He added all of the foam pads did all of the gluing, added dew drops to look like bubbles in the sea, button and bow, all I did was cut down the background card and tied the bow.

He even added an insert from the Little Book of Poetry and then wrote out the card.

Oh and yes, a button did find its way into his trouser pocket.

I think we should all encourage our children to craft, the sense of achievement is immense.

Jack now has his own crafting box with loads of bits in to craft with.

Little Pearl Dress

I thought I’d squeeze this one in, I am driving down to Peterborough tomorrow ready for shows on Create and Craft Friday 24th April at 10am and 4pm with Hunkydory. I’ve been busy busy prepping for the shows and I know I have some amazing deals on there so don’t miss it.

I want to show you some ways of using the fabulous little books and here is a sneaky peek.

I’m planning to squeeze into something like this for my Daughters wedding in 2016, well that is the plan.

I’m on first at 10am with Leoni so I think we will make a couple of these to show you how.

New Beginnings With Hunkydory

I can finally reveal that I will be doing some work with Hunkydory, we all know what amazing quality their paper craft is and when they ask if i could do some TV shows for them I was delighted. I’ve been playing with A Little Book of….. and some of the Adorable Scorable.

This card was made using A little Book of Flowers and The Second Book of Poetry.

A double twist easel card with a straight easel center.

Such pretty designs

and such beautiful poetry.

Free Image Card

It started buy buying some crafty bits, you know how it is right?

I bought a pack of buttons, pretty metal ones and soon realised that the packaging was just too darn pretty to throw away.

I carefully removed the buttons then got to work adapting the packaging into a card.

Really it was like one of those buy 1 and get 1 free moments.

The patterned card and the images all came from the button box. Santoro Mirabelle from Riverside Crafts in Market Deeping.

I did use one of the buttons entwined into a silk ribbon.

Also a Fantastic Ribbons ribbon and a Mei Flower ribbon slide and pearls.

Blog Hop day tomorrow, be sure to hop back here.

A Card and a Confession.

Grandson Jack came over today and I had started to make a card last night and did a little decoupage but hadn’t done much else. So Jack helped me today to finish the card off. I got out some dies and put Jack in control of the eBosser machine which he found amazing, He put the plates and dies in the front and then ran around to the back to watch them come out, isn’t technology marvellous? we then measured cut and stuck all of the components together and made a smashing card. Decoupage is from the Hunkydory decoupage book Sports and Leisure

We used Memory Box dies a trellis and a vine flourish.

Spellbinders Aster dies

and this pretty decoupage from the book.

All of the card is from Create and Craft TV here

So onto my confession…… My healthy eating went down the pan, I started having treats and cheating, secret eating in abundance. work patterns, being away from home and having to eat from service stations too many tempting foods.

So there it is in a nutshell, My name is Jak Heath and I am a secret eater.

Now that is the first step, I confessed to the world, the next step is to put it right and I have started to do that already, 2 bike rides this weekend and healthy eating, the tester will be when I have to go to Peterborough but I’m determined to get back on track.

Create and Craft 11am and 6pm

I’ll be in Peterborough all ready for the La Pashe shows on Create and Craft TV, we have loads of new goodies to show you. First show is Tuesday 11am and then 6pm, I am buzzing to get started.

So much to show you.

How about a Card Vase to decorate yourself, it is fully waterproof and can be stamped or decorated like I did and make a his and hers.

We also have some date cards (calendar cards)

great for personalising that special date.

Now how about a Pouch Card, you could send money or a gift voucher or even a disc with photographs on it.

Golden Swirled Cracker

I had a day off so decided to play a little more with the Christmas Cracker Card from La Pashe.

The first thing I did was reach for my embossing folder and embossing machine

I embossed the sides and the cracker pieces then used a brayers to add Versamark to the embossed pattern, then used a gold pearl embossing powder over it and heat embossed it.

It gives it a more luxurious finish don't you think?

I used the Santa decoupage from The Christmas Box cd to add inside the cracker opening.

I actually think Santa is on Facebook, what do you think?

I do know that who ever it may be must be finger licking good, just look at all that frosting, I have dabs on the bottom panels of the doors and it would be fight on for anyone who pulled them off before I got to them ha ha!

On the back there is a pretty verse too.
