Another Scottie

What with all the Jubilee celebrations, and family from Kent staying with us, there hasn't been much time for crafting, but I have finished a project that I started a while ago.It's another Scottie project I made for my friend Pat, it's a note pad .
She was going to spend a fortune for something similar on the Internet, and then she asked me if I could try to make one instead! and this is it.




This is how I did it

Start by scoring some stiff card that is 1cm larger all around than the paper cube, and then cover the card in paper of your choice





then cover the patterned paper overlap with white card, and stick the paper cube to the spine of the cover.
Next, decorate the top however you want.  Simples!!!!!






Recipe :
Card = Whisper White, Basic Black, Orchid Opulence, and some cardboard packaging
Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Embossing tool
Extras = DP from Create and Craft, Lilac bow, and square paper

Thanks for dropping by today, I hope you can call again soon when I hope I've had time to really craft!!

Simply Peachy

We're having another wet day here, but the birds are still singing their little hearts out! It also means that I can play with Nathan indoors and have time to get my challenge card on my blog.

Yesterday, I made a card for two challenges, and saved them as a draft until I had time to publish them today......well, guess what?....yes, one of them has ended!!! AAAAAAhhhhhh. Never mind I'll post it anyway.


The sketch was from Clean and Simple

and the colours from Stampin Royalty










Here is my card




The peachy card was embossed in a floral folder with a gap left for the white border, before being laid on a concord crush card base. The sentiment was stamped, and the stamped cut out flowers added, with the two largest being raised on 3D pads for dimension.



Recipe :
Card = Concord Crush, Peach Parfait, and Whisper White
Stamps = Vintage Vogue and Basic Phrases
Inks  = Concord Crush, Peach Parfait, and Blushing Bride
Tools = Big Shot, Cottage Floral embossing folder, embossing tool, and Stamp-a-ma-jig
Extras = 3D pads


I hope you like it.

I'll be back soon when us Super Heroes get some time to ourselves!!
