June crafting

 Cards from a embossing class. The heart and butterfly didn’t get sayings onto at time of class as i wasn’t sure what I would use them for.  Butterfly ended up a get well soon and the heart cards got a big hug stamped on it and sent to a close friend who received word that the dr’s decided that she needed to continue (repeat last round) of cancer treatment. 

DD’s July birthday card, sympathy and Valentine card. B-card was stamped with one of the stamps from the friendship set and than embossed in antique gold. Hearts embossed with ruby tensel, pippin pink, copper penny and poppin blue. Butterfly in gold and party pink opaque.

Cards being sent out in July to church ladies. Stamp is friendship in black ink and coloured in using metallic water colours. Used actual lace.

Last Friday of June our church lady group did a paint night and for this one the leaders decided to paint flower pots. We were given a lesson on painting a branch with cherry blossoms. The other one we were sent home with it to do at home. It was also pre painted white. I repainted it a blue and painted it with hearts in gold, baby blue flower and added dots around the top.

April/May crafts

Sarah’s birthday present.

Sarah requested a crochet type sweater for her birthday in July. She send me a picture of the child size and asked if I could make her something like it and shortly afterwards sent me a picture of the adult one. She requested it in either white, hunter green or black.

The pattern is called  “It’s Shawl Good” Cardigan. Child size pattern is free and the adult pattern is a paid pattern on Annie’s. I made it in white using lionbrand coboo yarn. I think it would look lovely in hunter green (or a dark green) but could not find that colour in a #3 yarn. If I do come across I may grab it and do her another one in the green.

Birthday card for my Mother in-law using spellbinders stitched medallion and impressabilities flower. It looks a little on the green side but blue card stock was used.

 

Cards I made for May. I used Elizabeth craft designs floral 5 dies. Cutting them out of circuit pastel sticker paper and adding a little ink to the edges of them. Used the same floral die for the Mother’s Day card(pink card)

The next three card pictures are cards made from the Cherish card kit. I made the cards and gave them as a gift. The first picture is cards I made from left over bits and pieces adding a couple butterflies from my stash to a couple of them. 

June cards I made.  Used a free clip art off the internet for the strawberries.
