November Card Club Pt 1

 So the first card club of November wasn't really a normal card club night...we had more of a workshop making 3d items to inspire us for christmas.

The first thing we made was a giftbox. I must admit I hate using the Envelope Punchboard with a passion but for some unknown reason I found the Gift Box Punchboard a lot easier. Anyone else have this issue or is it just me?

 I used:

• Gift Box Punch Board
• Under The Tree Speciality DSP
• Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon

 Then we moved on to my favourite project of the evening, I've been wanting to play with this die for ages as Pinterest has shown me so many good ideas to use it for. I coloured my pearls in using my cherry cobbler blendabilities so they looked like berries. Inside this little christmas pudding was a ferrero rocher...yea i ate that when I brought the pudding box home.

I used:

• Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlit
• Whisper White cardstock
• Early Espresso cardstock
• Under The Tree Speciaility DSP
• Jewels Basic Pearl
• Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities

The next project was a giftcard holder, or money holder as was suggested by Suriya who was running the workshop.

I used:

•  Dots mask
• Coastal Cabana ink
• Gift Card Enclosure Pack
• Metallic Bakers Twine
• Mossy Meadow ink
• Sponge Daubers

 Suriya must know that I get through masses of notebooks a year as there was a notebook project on the to do list as well... I kept mine rather simple as it will no doubt end up in my work bag and get a tad dirty.

I used:

• Kraft Grid Journal
• Stars mask 
• Coastal Cabana ink
• Sponge Daubers

Then there was a candle to work on...

I used:

• Heat Tool
• Tissue Paper
• Real Red ink
• Mossy Meadow ink
• Festival of Trees stamp set

Using some of the spare card I had I made myself a dozen tags to go on presents.

I used:

• Whisper White cardstock
• Festival of Trees stamp set
• Mossy Meadow ink
• Tag Topper punch

There were also some card blanks to make 5 cards. really love this stamp set and it's so easy to use, it's one of the new photopolymer sets.

I used:

• Whisper White cardstock
• Mossy Meadow ink
• Real Red ink
• Pear Pizzazz ink
• Wondrous Wreath stamp set

The final project was a fabric bag to decorate.

I stamped different images from the same stamp set on either side of the bag.

I used:

• Mini Muslin Bag 
• Mossy Meadow ink
• Crushed Curry Chevron Ribbon
• Many Marvellous Markers

November card club Pt 2 is on the 23rd and it's more 3d projects but this time playing with the stanmp set Lovely As A Tree. 

 

If anyone has pinterest or blog links to projects using this stamp set can you share them with me as a comment for future inspiration please?

Torso tag swaps

So here are my long awaited torso tag swaps that I've received from some of the lovely ladies on the lots to do forum.. they got lost along the way and got hidden under the passenger seat in my OH's car.... so thanks to monalisa, claireabelle, hilmof and carian :)

Lots To Do- Angels

This weeks challenge over at Lots To Do is 'Angels' so here's my PB angels tag. Mottled white card stamped with my silver ink pad, gold paper stars, gold ribbon, cotton wool clouds and hedgies coloured in with marvys and watercolour pencils

Torso tags

These torso tags are for a swap going on over at the lots to do forum where we each make 4 to go in for a swap. i distressed the backing papers for all four by scrunching up the paper and rubbing an ink pad over them, i've used red, black, silver and gold and then put the appropriate colour ribbon on them. The red one i tried to make a corset and skirt for.... the black one i covered with red felt flowers... the gold one has a silver skeleton leaf attached with brads, 3 gems and a parchment butterfly on it.. the silver one i stamped the word 'love' over it in 2 different shades of pink before added the heaqrt embellishment, there's 4 flower charms on the bottom and 2 heart charms one below each shoulder.

more bits n bobs

Just sharing a couple of other bits i've made tonight..
