Exploding Barkley...

...well not literally!!! I am here today to finally share my first sneak peek from the new Barkley range from Crafter's Companion. He is GORGEOUS!! and today I am going to share my first ever exploding box.



Thanks to the cd rom all the hard work is taken out for you. It was simply a case of printing out cutting out the elements and then assembling.

Here's a pic of the inside...


The only thing I added that wasn't printed was the punched butterfly but was still using coordinating paper.



I will be back tomorrow with another sneak peek!! Bye for now :0)

Thanks for stopping by today feel free to leave a comment I love to read them :0)

Party with Bamboo

Today I have a card to share using one of my favourite Party Paws stamps. I was asked to make a birthday card for a friends Mum so decided to use this one..

The stamp is called Party with Bamboo. The papers used on the card are from Which Craft and the pad is called Rose Garden which you can get here. I used the Enchanted Spring frame die from Crafter's Companion and also made a flower using Lace Flower quilling die and Small Camelia quilling die. I stamped the image onto Neenah card stock and of course coloured the image in using my Spectrum Noir pens to colour the image in.

Here is a close up with a list of colours used...

Shoe= DR7, DR6, CR11 & CR9, sole of shoe TN1, TN2, & TN3, BGR1, BGR2 & blender
Bamboo= IG10, IG8, IG6
Flower= CT4, CT2, & CT1 GB10 & GB8

Diary of an Edwardian Lady and Natures notes album

Good morning all! Did you all catch the first of the Four Day Deal shows this morning with Sara on Create and Craft? Sara will be back with more live shows today at 1 0'clock and 6 0'clock so be sure to tune in.

Today I have something a little different to share, rather than a card I decided to make a mini album which shows some of the elements available on both of the cd roms.

 

I had great fun decorating this album, the base of the album itself is made using Centura Pearl. I used papers from the Natures Notes which are actually bonus papers and are AMAZING!! Each page then is decorated with a mixture of toppers and embellishments from both cd roms. I even cut into some of the embellishments cutting out the butterflies. I also used Die'sire Quilling dies to make a flower for the first page plus Die'sire lace border 6 for the edges for two of the pages. Finished with different ribbons, lace, bling and some kraft card stock I was happy with how it came out.

 

As well as the live shows today there will also be some tomorrow which are at 9am and 4pm, where there will be lots of demos and inspiration :0)

Sneak peek of Natures Notes

Good morning I am here today with another sneak peek from the upcoming Four day deal which Sara will be launching tomorrow.

Today's card is using the Natures Note's cd rom...



This card is made using a topper sheet from the month of may section along with elements from an embellishment sheet which also coordinates. I used some backing paper from the month of May on the Edwardian Lady cd rom, which match perfectly.

I will be back later today with another card to share :0)
