Byzantine dies

Evening all, just been to drop off samples at Ideal World for Nancy Watt's show tonight at 9pm.
Here are a few of those samples

This card was made the new Byzantine lattice and Essentials Byzantine along with flowers from the pop up box. The flowers were cut from the decorative paper then embossed using one of the Trio folders, after which I fringed the petals. For the foliage I used the Sweetpea die.

The greeting came from one of the Sentiments pads from Tattered Lace along with the ribbon.

This was made using the Pop up box die, along with the Byzantine Lattice and Sweetpea.

Looking forward to tomorrow , the units for my craft room arrive, seems such along time ago we started to plan my room.

Happy Crafting.

Craft Room Update

As you can see I have gone for green which has been painted over a textured wall paper. The unit is now white along with the door.

I now have 2 strip lights instead of a central light, I need as much light as possible especially for the winter months.

The door is being glossed as I type, so now it's roll on Wednesday, when the units arrive.

I'm on the look out for curtain material  but it needs to have dragonflies on, so if anybody sees any could you let me know please.

It could be I will have to stamp my own !

Gone back in time for today's card.

Happy Crafting.

Craft Room In the making

I thought I'd show you today how my craft room is coming along,

This was how it started, it was my youngest daughter's bedroom, yes it was pink and white.

The floor needed a bit of levelling so while the floorboards were up my husband put in extra support, we all know how heavy card and dies are.

We have progressed since these photos were taken so I'll show you tomorrow how it is now.

Couldn't decide what cards to show you today but I'm watching Fiona from Crafter's Companion with the E-brush so I thought I'd show you a couple of cards I made with it.

Have to also say Good Luck Kay ( Hougie) who is back on TV tonight at 8pm and several times tomorrow.

Happy Crafting.

Sheena's Cat Stamp

Afternoon everyone,
Wish the weather would make it's mind up , I haven't got time to keep taking the washing in and out.
Back to normal routine, nearly, Husbands back at work but now my daughter's on holiday but she is heading to Skegness tomorrow for a few days.
Have been busy working on samples for the next Tattered Lace magazine which have to be sent today and then must start on the next new collection.
Did you have chance to see Sheena ? I loved the fusion technique on the die cut leaves, looks good, will have to try as soon as I have more space and can unpack my dies and stamps.
Here are a couple more cards made with Sheena's Embossing folders and stamps.

That's all for today.

Happy Crafting.

Sheena's Animal Stamp Collection

So look out for some great techniques and ideas.

Happy Crafting.

More Lattice

Morning, 

Lizzy is on today at 12 noon with more of the Tattered Lace POW Lattice and Lace.

Above are a couple more cards from the show.

The first was made using the Diamond Trellis Flourish, left in the card. The flower was made using just the head of the Lacy daffodil , with the Meadow leaves behind.

The second is the Diamond Trellis Frame with ribbon threaded though the lattice. The flowers are from Mini Blooms again with Meadow leaves. I can see I'll be using the leaves quite often in the future, so useful.

Right, I'm off to work now, enjoy the Bank Holiday everyone.

Happy Crafting.
