Bits & Pieces

I really have far too many little embellishment bits and pieces left over from other projects, so this weeks challenge was to try and use some up that have been hanging around for TOO LONG.

A small sense of achievement after I made a few cards! I've also been selling off some of the stamps that I never use on eBay to make a bit of space.

Thank You Cards

In these difficult times, we all have people we want to say Thank You to, for supporting us in different ways.

At least us Crafters can easily come up with some special hand made cards for those around us

Basketball Cards

I bought these felt basketballs back in October on holiday in USA - they go well with the stamp of a basketball hoop that was in a Sporting set of stamps from Creative Stamps Mag a while ago.

I've teamed them with a flaky brick wall backing paper for a very urban street effect!

Stockpiling Essentials

Yes, I'm confess I have been out this morning just to stock pile some essentials in case of  self isolation.  A trip to The Range to buy up card blanks and double sided tape before they all disappear.

Phew! Now I can rest safe in the knowledge that I can keep on crafting for the foreseeable future.

Die Cutting

This weekend I've been using my Big Shot and doing lots of die cutting - this cute mouse and toadstool is from Creative Expressions and is from their paper cuts Edger range

I've made several variations of this cats climbing over grid - but this is the first time I have used a yellow scheme

It's difficult to make Get Well Cards for men, who don't really want flowers or cute animals! I thought this simple card would fit the bill for a builder friend who hurt himself recently.
