<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today I want to share a memory type book I was asked to make by
a lady whose son was turning 21 and she just couldn’t find anything that summed
him up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">She told me her son was VW beetles and VW campervan crazy and
was actually rebuilding one in red, white and blue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So that was my challenge<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I knew I had some papers that were actually free in a Do Crafts
magazine some time ago – Portobello Road, it had Union flags, postcards,
stripes and of course plain colours red, white and blue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I folded 2 A4 sheets of card in half and stuck one side to the
other card making 3 work spaces on the front and the back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I started on the front page which I covered with a flag paper,
then die cut a mat using red card then a verse on a size smaller die, these
were attached to the card using DST.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I used Google to search for VW and after finding suitable images
I resized and printed onto matt photo paper, rounded the corners and added
under the verse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I printed out some VW blueprints and used them as backing paper
for the inside left and right pages after 1<sup>st</sup> inking the card. On the
left side I cut out cogs using black card and added them randomly across the
page and used some of the waste in the top and bottom corners.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On the right hand side I used some Tim Holtz tickets and the end result said “Live The Dream, Wish
Every Day, Story Of Love And Hope”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And then the centre page I made a collage of different sections
of a VW Beetle, stamped Matthew onto white card then used red and blue distress
ink to randomly colour the letters, then heat embossed with clear embossing
powder and then stuck down the card. I used an MDF circle which I drilled holes
in and used as a button, I stamped Happy Birthday on the button, rubbed over
with versamark and clear embossing powder, I added some butchers twine and tied
it on the top then stuck to the card, 21<sup>st</sup> was stuck alongside the button.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On the reverse I made a collage using the blueprint and images,
faded it out then stuck to a blue mat and finally onto the card. I stamped VW
beetles and words over the paper and cut out a Happy Birthday panel from red, white,
blue paper and stuck at the bottom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

scalloped card blank , I trimmed a sheet of aqua coloured card to fit leaving a
border then the same with a lilac sheet. These were taped to the card blank
using DST and then a couple of pieces of metallic lilac ribbon was stuck across
the top left and bottom right corners. The main image layer was glued centrally
using sticky pads and the 2 further levels were done in the same way.</span><span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: CalligraphScript-Swash; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">All that was left to do was decorate the front, to do this I
added 3 lilac gems in a line at the 4 corners of the aqua card layer, placed
tiny pink on the flowers in the background and then a hand tied bow to top right
corner, and a few drops of glossy accents were added to the rain splashes and
glitter to the wings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent5; mso-themeshade: 191;">The kits come with main card base, backing paper, pyramage
layers and an all in one sheet envelope!</span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent5; mso-themeshade: 191;">I trimmed the card base and then used stick and
stay to glue the sheet to white 300gsm card, and I did the same with the base
layer of the pyramage, I also used the backing paper on the back of the
pyramage piece as it looks prettier from the back than plain white card.</span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent5; mso-themeshade: 191;">The card is really easy to do, there are several
lines printed so I just scored them all and following M or V folds gives the
Upright Diamond Fold card, the folds simply push towards the centre which then
forms the diamond shape</span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent5; mso-themeshade: 191;">I cut out the 4 shaped pyramage pieces and used 1mm

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent5; mso-themeshade: 191;">To finish I added 3 pretty yellow gems for the
centre of the flowers, tied a bow using lemon satin ribbon and placed it below
the flowers, then used an X-Cut butterfly punch to punch 4 lemon and 4 pale
blue Bazzill cardstock, I then stuck one lemon and one pale blue back to back
using a little cosmic shimmer pva glue.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Good evening</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I can now share
a card I made recently for a little girl who is now a big sister after their
mummy brought home a new baby boy last week</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The sheet was designed
by Angela Wake, it didn’t have much scope to add my own touch to the card which
is the only downside with a lot of these sheets</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I used a 6x6
scalloped card blank and after cutting out the main image it was stuck to the card
front with pva glue then set aside for 15 minutes to set</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The decoupage
was then cut out and I used tiny sticky pads to build up the 3d effect.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">This was an easy
card to make as it has 2 large panels and then just a little decoupage so good
for anyone hating the cutting out.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Before I printed
out the sheet I used the blank tag to add Big Sister Lexi... and once I had the
insert in I wrote it to the 3 year old then put it into its own envelope and
was sent with Lexi’s name and address on!</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I’m sorry but
there really isn’t a great deal more I can say about the card except I have had
a message from the new mum to say the cards arrived safely and Lexi had loved
having mail just for her!</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Got a super
duper card for today – in fact I used the same kit and created 2 cards which
are very similar to each other</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I started with a
sheet of white card measuring 16”x8” and used an 8x8 embossing folder to emboss
one side of the card, then I scored along the centre, folded and that is my
card blank created.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Last week I
bought myself a set of Faber-Castell Mix & Match Gelatos and haven’t yet
had a chance to play with them, but because I had a fab embossed back ground I
used a cotton wool pad which I sprayed with some Avon lemon room spray and set
to a side for a moment</span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I used 3
coloured Gelatos, a pink, lilac and purple, I lightly ran each colour randomly
around the edges of the card, then used the cotton wool pads and gently rubbed
it all over the embossed part of the card, I loved how it was varying shades of
colour – and the card smells yummy too!</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I cut out the
main image – which by the way the info for the kit – it was designed by Janet Roberts
and has 3 sheets to the kit, the main front sheet, the single insert panel and
the decoupage elements, and it is all so easy to cut out!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So the main
panel was cut out and I used 2 A5 sheets of silver mirri card, one was plain
and the other embossed with hearts, so I trimmed them both down and added the
piece with hearts to the top half of the panel and the plain silver to the
bottom, leaving the famous all round border.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Using double
sided tape I stuck my panel to the card sort of to the right and bottom corner.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Using the bow
making I created a double bow from some beautiful lilac organza ribbon with a
satin edge, I cut the tails into V shapes and stuck the bow to the top left
corner with a sticky dot. The heart shaped Birthday Girl sentiment was cut out and
placed directly under the bow, I used double sided sticky pads to do that then
added a tiny sticky dot on each of the ribbon tails and positioned these around
the heart.</span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The decoupage

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">A few months ago
I had a magazine with the free gift being a die – I haven’t given it a 2<sup>nd</sup>
glance until today when I was going through my dies looking for some pretty flowers
for the card</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguI3uFElpPOBBlVMsztT2KGC_ar3mHBxo4HOs-EOGpGBUoBOsWVUhsNwGkKKxwEhMJ0vspEs87-2U24OUaID232N3nkPJ5W6jQgRnXi16x1rGxpWSzmyMXs4P-blCr_bWrCVrWFaM2YsY/s1600/DSC00793.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguI3uFElpPOBBlVMsztT2KGC_ar3mHBxo4HOs-EOGpGBUoBOsWVUhsNwGkKKxwEhMJ0vspEs87-2U24OUaID232N3nkPJ5W6jQgRnXi16x1rGxpWSzmyMXs4P-blCr_bWrCVrWFaM2YsY/s1600/DSC00793.JPG" height="400" width="393" /></a></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So I cut out the
panel 3 times – so it was 3 large, 3 small and 3 leaves in lilac 300gsm card and
I used a Tattered Lace leaf die which I cut out of white card. I stuck the 3
larger flowers in the bottom left corner using cosmic shimmer pva to hold them
in place, a dot of pva was added to one end of the leaves, both the white and
the lilac and then gently pushed under the flowers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The 3 smaller
flowers were placed in the top right corner in the same way and had leaves
added too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">To finish my
card I added a big blob of pva to the inside of the larger flowers and
carefully dropped a 10mm lilac AB gem into it. For the small flowers I had
bought a pack of pretty cerise pink aluminium roses from Hong Kong and I though
the darker shade made the card.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The insert was
trimmed and stuck inside the card using double sided tape.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I made a 2<sup>nd</sup>
card which is along the same lines but this time I made it a landscape card and
changed the position of the flowers as well as changing the amount....</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So there we go –
my card for today.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I have entered
the card into my Card Challenge Competition and will be posting this card out
to a young girl who will be 16 next week, suffers from Aspergers Syndrome and
her proud mum has asked people to send her cards and make her day extra special
– mum said daughter would be lucky to get even 4 cards so was hoping her
request might see the daughter receive 16 as that’s how old she will be – that number
has been walked all over so now its set at 116 cards, if you want to help and
send her a card I have the young ladies postal details</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And this is the
link to my card challenge group if anyone would like to join in - you have until
26<sup>th</sup> April to complete your card – all details are on the main page!</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I won’t
apologise as this missing days is happening all too often just now – I haven’t
been too well and not had any real interest in crafting</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Yesterday I
caught the train over to Grimsby and headed off to Wilko’s my favourite shop
for a good bargain, managed to get my main toiletries for my holidays and a few
stationery bits and bobs too</span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">But my best buy
was a foam bag kit – the kit had 2 funky foam handbags to make up – the kit
included the nylon cord, 2 needles, 2 long plaited pink handles and of course
the 3 pieces needed for each bag,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I know I am a
child at times, but I couldn’t wait to make a start on the bags – I started
with the lilac one – the stitch is a simple over stitch which I felt might have
been a tad difficult for a child to do seen as these were aimed at 6+</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I think it took
me around 15 mins to complete the bag </span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">On to the pink
bag – I sewed one side only to find I wouldn’t have enough cord to do the other
side so had to take it all out and I used some white dk wool that had a cotton
lustre running through it, it worked – but not as good as the cord did,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">One other thing
I will mention – the kits are well packed – but that isn’t such a good thing as
the flowers and studs have embedded into the foam, I have tried to warm the
foam with the heat gun in the hope the indents would disappear but nope they
are still there!!!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">To sum up then,
the kit was just 99p for 2 pretty bags – downside was the shortage of cord and
the indents, but just think how exciting a little girls birthday party could be
if they each had one of these to make and take away!! Cheap entertainment in my
mind!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">See you with
something else I bought and will be making up hopefully this evening!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Hello<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">As soon as I
bought this pad of sheets I couldn’t wait to make up this sheet – it was a
mixture of pretty colours and the butterflies. I have scanned the sheet and
copied the butterfly which was for the decoupage so I had 2 for the finished
card.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The sheets were
from a card making pad I bought from Joann Sheen, it’s called Jody Bergsma, and
the artwork really is amazing.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: 'BD Merced'; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I created an
easel card measuring 6x6 inches (15x15cm) from some lovely card I have which is
smooth white on one side and shiny creamy colour on the other side, I used the
white side showing for the card.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: 'BD Merced'; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">As this is an
easel I needed an extra piece of card the same size, this was then put through
the Big Shot in a 6x6 pretty floral embossing folder, it left panels of flowers
which really look pretty – but there are no makings on the folder so maybe it
was a free gift on a magazine...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<o:p></o:p><br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Right then, I
used Tim Holtz distress ink pad in dried marigold to ink the edges of the
embossed panel and then I lightly inked over the embossed sections. I then
decided to ink the edges of the entire card so used the same colour.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgmIb0pVHL6T1I4oIiSYjOh4rfJlU0iQl3fT_k5r5MHTx4VynH1EfAtD5gccJz0xcongmPHqQJG2I7Ar1tSsq1Ytcukd-RS-HD-uNGWXCdLCi9IrlPzgXIXbldCkbszdPOqROq164TGG0/s1600/DSC00746.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgmIb0pVHL6T1I4oIiSYjOh4rfJlU0iQl3fT_k5r5MHTx4VynH1EfAtD5gccJz0xcongmPHqQJG2I7Ar1tSsq1Ytcukd-RS-HD-uNGWXCdLCi9IrlPzgXIXbldCkbszdPOqROq164TGG0/s1600/DSC00746.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Next I added
strong double sided tape the flap of the easel then pressed the embossed panel
against it. Using the red tape again I ran the tape along all sides of topper
then pressed it centrally onto the embossed panel, this covered most of the
embossing but that wasn’t so important as the embossing showed clearly on the
back of the card</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: 'BD Merced'; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Because the card
I was using was bigger than the 6x6 I needed I was left with a couple of strips
of card so put one into the embossing folder lining it up with the flowers and
put that through the Bog Shot, once embossed I used the dried marigold ink and
coloured the panel making sure the edges were a deeper colour than the flowers.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: 'BD Merced'; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I added very
thick, very wide foam tape to the back of the single panel and put to one side
as this was to be my stopper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNicENDCM_enTgEV7JwhIt7T3caDbo0SLzVmBxiI5EX3U3PT4w5WKNKaqUbVXTAfDHWN9CIMqsXPN6p2IaB174KEaJdXiiddQD_-y12F216LXzbs0J4kV6ll3DqCkcjkhu6_WcFpzn930/s1600/DSC00749.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNicENDCM_enTgEV7JwhIt7T3caDbo0SLzVmBxiI5EX3U3PT4w5WKNKaqUbVXTAfDHWN9CIMqsXPN6p2IaB174KEaJdXiiddQD_-y12F216LXzbs0J4kV6ll3DqCkcjkhu6_WcFpzn930/s1600/DSC00749.JPG" height="400" width="380" /></a></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I printed out
some backing papers for different cds but in the end I decided I liked the mid
green with tiny white hearts on, it was from a set of sheets I had called Wee
Stamps Decoupage Set<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So I trimmed
this paper down to fit the base of my card leaving a narrow border all round
the card to show the orange, I used double sided tape to hold the paper to the
base card.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Taking the
floral panel I removed the backing tape and secured the panel where I wanted it
to act as my stopper and just below that I added the With Love sentiment which
again I used thick foam tape.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I cut out the 2
butterflies I had made and stuck them back to back and inked all around using the
dried marigold ink again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And then to
finish I used orange stickles which I used to add a blob to the centre of the flowers
on the stopper panel, I used the stickles to decorate the back to back
butterfly wings then creased either side of the body to lift the wings and
added more stickles to stick the butterfly to the top right corner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">On the sheet is
a small square the same as the main topper so I cut it out and added to the back
of the easel – no point throwing it away as it fitted there perfectly....<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So there we are –
a pretty butterfly and embossed flowers easel card! As it has the simple sentiment
With Love it’s perfect for most occasions don’t you think?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Good Morning</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">It was lovely
opening the curtains to sunshine....it’s a little over cast just now but
hopefully the sun will burn through as the morning passes, after all it is only
a little after 10.15am.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Ok so this is
the 2<sup>nd</sup> card I made yesterday, it was using the fab sneakers stamps
again – oh I love this set.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Making the card
I used a sheet of white A4 card which was folded in half making my A5 card, I
used it as a tent fold card this time. I came across an A4 sheet of shiny red
card, it’s not mirri card just a high gloss card, so I cut a piece to cover the
base card leaving a narrow border, then cut a piece of silver mirri card again
leaving a narrow border all around.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I used smooth
white card cut to 19.5x13.5 cms and the back ground sneakers stamp, I stamped
this twice and then had to ink just the edge of the stamp to cover the card, I
stuck this to the card using double sided tape and put to one side for now.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I cut another
piece of white card that measured approx 14x10.5 cms. I stamped the sneakers in
the centre of the card and again onto the piece of card that was left over
after the background and main panel were cut. I coloured the sneakers on the
spare card using Poppy Pro Marker, I went over the stitching using the same pen
2 or 3 times to make it darker. This was then cut out and I used tiny sticky pads
to attach the coloured sneakers to the stamped image.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I thought the
panel looked bare so began searching through stamps for something to use as a
border and eventually came across a small pack of 4 border stamps that had been
a free gift on a magazine, I was sure I would never use them but the rik rak
looked perfect so stuck it to my acrylic block and stamped along the short side
only to find the stamp hadn’t been put on the block straight but after looking
at it again I quite liked the wobble so carried on and did all the edges using
Black Versafine ink pad.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">This panel was
then matted onto a piece if the red shiny card, I covered the back with tiny
sticky pads and added this to the card on an angle, when I had stamped the
background I found a few places where the ink wasn’t as dark so the topper was
perfect to hide that.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Next I started
colouring the tiny sneakers, I used my lovely Derwent Inktense watercolour
pencils and Pentel water brushes as I didn’t want then as red as the main image
with them being the background. By adding the topper before I coloured the
background I didn’t waste time and effort colouring what would then be covered
up with the topper.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And the last
part was the sentiment – no matter how many time I stamps this out, or what
inks I use it always looks quite faded and blotchy so I think that’s how it’s
meant to look, so once stamped I trimmed it down and matted it onto the last
scrap of shiny red card, this was then stuck across the top left corner of the
topper.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I am now
undecided as to decoration – I don’t want to overdo it, don’t want to add
sparkle or gems so really all I could do is add some glossy accents...but for
now I have just left it.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So, do you like
the red sneakers? I think the stamp is perfect for any colour really – in the
set I had the small circle and a choice of star, heart or leaf to go in the
middle, Converse I believe had the circle with star inside and after looking
them up they come in every colour imaginable!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Right time to
look at tidying up my room again – I am the only person that uses this room but
I do wonder how and why it is always so untidy! Good job it only takes 15 mins
or so to put everything away and create a workspace again!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Catch you again
tomorrow</span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Hello again</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Well today I
have made 2 cards and couldn’t decide which to share 1<sup>st</sup> but as one
was similar to one I had previously made I decided on the teal Butterfly card</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">This was a sheet
I came across in one of the folders – sometimes it’s like Christmas coming
across a folder of sheets and kits I had forgotten about...</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I’m afraid I don’t
know the sheet maker or where it came from.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilXDjFAACDrFkRH3P5GSOJJdV44S62aoywHZ_T0KKQDW1dugrJLQK-4-ZTxZ-SRXOxbxFDRldKVV56QmsV-fm7dDhycFDJjrmgH2N8dRsxLC4CTOjq3FOX7q1axoDQN8_k1m2BXtBvzaE/s1600/DSC00702.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilXDjFAACDrFkRH3P5GSOJJdV44S62aoywHZ_T0KKQDW1dugrJLQK-4-ZTxZ-SRXOxbxFDRldKVV56QmsV-fm7dDhycFDJjrmgH2N8dRsxLC4CTOjq3FOX7q1axoDQN8_k1m2BXtBvzaE/s1600/DSC00702.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">For a change I
used coloured card – this was a pale green adorable scorable card which I
folded in half. Something else I have had for far too long is a bundle of
beautiful coloured card that has silver chunks embedded in it – so I used a
pale pink, this was trimmed to fit onto the main card leaving a border all
round.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz_Gii9S2VHKbD3PGaX_6rO6wxQxopK8oJxK5OVM42c9juPmvn2U5gbrj4GoCzrgKPGKGUl32JnBiEyB5gmi3mMRGPS6qPig1msHtzJ3kdkVc4tZ-G3on6379UkOi30t2P1kTJLi8lCds/s1600/DSC00703.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz_Gii9S2VHKbD3PGaX_6rO6wxQxopK8oJxK5OVM42c9juPmvn2U5gbrj4GoCzrgKPGKGUl32JnBiEyB5gmi3mMRGPS6qPig1msHtzJ3kdkVc4tZ-G3on6379UkOi30t2P1kTJLi8lCds/s1600/DSC00703.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I cut the main
image from the sheet and used a pale green pro marker to colour the edges then
stuck this panel onto the pink mat.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The beautiful
flower come in 2 sections so they were cut and attached using sticky pads, the
top flower was shaped before being stuck in place.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAL9HDfsLWnzvqAVisznc6xSLcjDK6pLBPTQR5_dA9k_oiLl1pPWiEp0OMFRQteJrJDzhiLQEmpo92qvJq9meGLTY-tGCsVFxEAlNzYDYQtslHNvfl1h94T6opqR2DVqaV4sjbqFjyS0Q/s1600/DSC00704.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAL9HDfsLWnzvqAVisznc6xSLcjDK6pLBPTQR5_dA9k_oiLl1pPWiEp0OMFRQteJrJDzhiLQEmpo92qvJq9meGLTY-tGCsVFxEAlNzYDYQtslHNvfl1h94T6opqR2DVqaV4sjbqFjyS0Q/s1600/DSC00704.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Next it was the
butterfly – this had 2 identical butterfly sections and I did consider doing
back to back but then went for the normal one on top of the other.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzHqG9xMZ99OhwLpzS739Po4020DBZjyAs5vpV_RhU-Z75xDaHEnahSVyxWp72NGDdUkgb9D6_o6M2xfsaD-mLIWhta3Qoa3_cyiJJ5ZvIs3sp0g8pOlezchUXl-y7KZFGKc9-F65fgLs/s1600/DSC00705.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzHqG9xMZ99OhwLpzS739Po4020DBZjyAs5vpV_RhU-Z75xDaHEnahSVyxWp72NGDdUkgb9D6_o6M2xfsaD-mLIWhta3Qoa3_cyiJJ5ZvIs3sp0g8pOlezchUXl-y7KZFGKc9-F65fgLs/s1600/DSC00705.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The sheet
offered 3 sentiments so I used the happy birthday, this was also attached with
sticky pads.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Now my favourite
part – decoration!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">For the centre
of the flower I used purple accent beads on and then around those I used a deep
pink. To attach the accent beads I used blobs of pva glue, this can take around
4 hours to set hard.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I used some tiny
pearl gems and pva held them in place on the pretty flowers, then I used a
pretty green Stickles glitter glue to add dots f colour around the flowers and
then the same again with a crystal Stickles this time added dots to the large
flower too.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The Crystal
Stickles was laid thickly along the butterfly body and again this takes time to
dry </span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And lastly the
sentiment, I used dusty pink Stickles and dotted around the edge.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Not sure why but
this card really appeals to me – I think its the rich colour of the butterfly</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I hope you like
the card...and if you fancy having a go at card challenges leave me a message
or look me up on facebook where I have just set up a group – everyone is
welcome.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Back again
tomorrow</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Bit of a cop out
tonight I think because I have just cut these on the Cameo so all i was left to
do was stick them together, add a ribbon and knot and a few sparkly gems.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I used 2 shades
of orange card – this is a heavy textured card, very similar to Bazill card – I
seem to this is Core Color by Core’dinations. I cut the first card and
decoration then decided I needed to cut again using a different colour which
has worked quite well because I now have too lovely Get Well cards in colours
that make me smile – they look all summery don’t you think? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Not quite sure
why but both the cards have an overhang which is ok but I didn’t like the spine
left open so needed to add the length of brown ribbon with white dots, I added
a piece of sellotape to the ends and stuck down firmly inside the card.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I cut another
length of the same ribbon, folded it in half and slotted it through the border
ribbon, tied into a know then cut both long pieces shorter and added the V
finish.</span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The 3 flowers of

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Hello</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I had some new
stamps arrive so couldn’t wait to have a play with them</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">They are by Woodware
and I have the main stamp and sentiment and the background stamp.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I started by
creating an easel card using white card, I was using the blue Easiscore board
so with the short sides at the left and right i scored along line 7, spun the
card so the long sides were now at left and right and scored again down line 7 –
this excess was chopped off but put to one side. Next I folded one side in half
making the base of the easel card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Using a sheet of
pink card I cut a panel to fit on the top fold, used the nip corner punch and
then stuck this to the easel fold using double sided tape. Next I cut a piece
of white card approx 14x14cm and stamped the main image in the centre. I used
Blossom pro marker to colour the Sneakers then nipped the corners and used the
blossom pen to colour a border all around the card – I went round twice so it
was darker than the pink mat. This panel was then stuck to the pink panel and left
a narrow border all around the panel.</span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">For the base of
the easel I trimmed a piece of pink card to fit the base of the card, nipped
the corners then stuck in place using double sided tape.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZOixL42B69p5W9QA07b3iY-BKswF3A3PWVwunQq1UZCnkJ4DNkGDjpqF-j1Wohyphenhyphen4UmXDvs9LKlwJ09XjKF3o2ct1oc-DVGFIpyWm5k0K1VQ1IxddwCug0vuDAMOMjT2UGzYrscHHyvo4/s1600/DSC00694.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZOixL42B69p5W9QA07b3iY-BKswF3A3PWVwunQq1UZCnkJ4DNkGDjpqF-j1Wohyphenhyphen4UmXDvs9LKlwJ09XjKF3o2ct1oc-DVGFIpyWm5k0K1VQ1IxddwCug0vuDAMOMjT2UGzYrscHHyvo4/s1600/DSC00694.JPG" height="386" width="400" /></a><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Another white
panel – 14x14cm – was cut and had the corners nipped, then I stamped the big
background stamp all over using blank Versafine ink. Once the ink had dried I
used the Blossom pro marker to colour in the tiny sneakers.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I also stamps
some more onto one piece of the extra card I cut at the start...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNRk0T1pI49X8XUwRo0eoGJ94AYZ5wIETvOiG9JWIPEbGDt_mssoaEWEqjyLFjxfulRWlaH2et9LM-91vrozM1W3r79VTsNkgVcFdv-Sf-Pxzwr4SmsyJ74wMcU8YtSWEfI2gm-OVPBLM/s1600/DSC00695.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNRk0T1pI49X8XUwRo0eoGJ94AYZ5wIETvOiG9JWIPEbGDt_mssoaEWEqjyLFjxfulRWlaH2et9LM-91vrozM1W3r79VTsNkgVcFdv-Sf-Pxzwr4SmsyJ74wMcU8YtSWEfI2gm-OVPBLM/s1600/DSC00695.JPG" height="383" width="400" /></a><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Using the pink
card I cut a piece that was the width of the card and about 5cm deep, I used a
Tonic border punch to punch a border along both long edges and then stuck this
across the centre of the card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFv2KDHBEf1gODYIr0lwiW5VFsWotNnjjFzIZgRl3u2W9cU3UeWLHN4E7SegCrekk1RykzDq11sIhbS0MbZYbSNg0-DztbRfcP2QCpnCILEmc8BQ39s9MeYWz-YtUNTD8Bp6bwXlvCUZk/s1600/DSC00696.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFv2KDHBEf1gODYIr0lwiW5VFsWotNnjjFzIZgRl3u2W9cU3UeWLHN4E7SegCrekk1RykzDq11sIhbS0MbZYbSNg0-DztbRfcP2QCpnCILEmc8BQ39s9MeYWz-YtUNTD8Bp6bwXlvCUZk/s1600/DSC00696.JPG" height="400" width="202" /></a><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I stamped the
sentiment using Black Versafine ink onto the last scrap of white card, trimmed
it down then ran the Blossom pen around it before adding thick foam tape to the
back and finally positioning it in the centre of the pink panel.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I coloured the
odd sneakers that I had stamped onto the scrap card – then used 2 at each side
of the sentiment so they were facing each other.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I would like to
say the card is finished – but it doesn’t look it!! I feel it needs something on
the main image panel but have no idea as to what – have you??</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I will use some
glossy accents on the main sneakers but wanted to get it shared before I
forgot!!!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Would love to
hear what you think to the card and also if you can suggest something/anything
to go on the main panel – or does it not need anything else?</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I will be back
again tomorrow</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I do hope all

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Anyway, I had
bought some lovely mdf plaques that I decorated so the grandchildren could
surprise their mums, I popped one in the post to my son so he could hide it
away and then my 3 grand children could sign the back and make it extra
special.</span></div>

and Auntie Nicky who is like his mum number 2</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So as I think
you all know, the mdf items come bare so they can be decorated in any way you
like.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I started by
dabbing a piece of foam into the flitter glue then dabbed it all around the
outer edges, the flower shape, then for the Mum plaque I covered with Silver
gilding flakes and the Auntie with Variegated red gilding flakes, the excess is
rubbed away with a rough spongy thing (cannot remember its name) and that then
produces the fantastic rich shine – looks great when the sunshine hits it!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I really didn’t know
how I wanted to decorate the lettering and after much thought I decided to go
all glittery! Neither mum nor auntie have favourite colours so I decided to use
a beautiful jade green for the Auntie plaque and a rose pink for the Mum
plaque.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">To get a good
thick coating of glitter I used Cosmic Shimmer pva glue to completely cover the
letters then sprinkled the glitter over the wet glue and lightly tapped away
the excess then set them aside to dry – because the glue was so thick I allowed
24 hours before wrapping them up just so I didn’t spoil them.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Once they were
dry I found a length of cream crafters rope so slotted it through the holes and
tied a knot in the ends.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I simply wrapped
each plaque in a sheet of tissue paper and wrote Mum on one and Auntie on the
other – so as we did Mothers day on Saturday (because my daughter Nicky was
working Sunday so would be home after I left)</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Layton gave the
gifts out and it was lovely as neither of the girls expected it. Nicky had
bought a Pandora ring and charm for Vicky from Layton and Vicky bought a Pandora
charm and ring for Nicky from Layton.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I have searched
but cannot find the photo of the other mum plaque I made for my Daughter-in-Law
so it must be on my mobile...as soon as I find photos I will share them</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And that’s it
for today, I do hope you liked the plaques – I know the girls do!</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Hi</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Yet again I am
skipping days – I am struggling to get cards made and also where does the time
go?</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">This card is one
I put together a few days ago and I think it’s really sweet</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The kit is by
Janet Roberts and is called Chloe in a knitted hat, where it was bought I
really don’t know – sorry</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I started by
trimming away the excess to the main stepper sheet, sprayed the back with
Crafters Companion Stick & Stay then smoothed on to a sheet of white 350gsm
card, cut it out and scored along the score lines, and that was the perfect
stepper card base sorted.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The main sheet had
the topper and then 4 or 5 sections of decoupage – I used tiny sticky pads for
the decoupage and shaped the top pieces.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I cut out the 4
pretty pink butterflies which had tiny hearts over them so using the quickie
glue pen I covered the hearts then sprinkled with glitter; I used a little
cosmic shimmer pva along the body of the butterflies and stuck 2 on each of the
side panels.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I couldn’t
decide which sentiment I liked the most so used 2, With Love and Birthday
Wishes. I added these to the bottom panel, one at each side of the topper, I
just used cosmic shimmer pva to hold the heart sentiments in place.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">This card really
didn’t need much in the way of decoration so I used the quickie glue pen to
highlight the butterflies on the boots and the one on the knitted hat.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Last thing I did
was add glossy accents to the collar and pocket of her dress and the hair
bobble.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Oh and there is a matching gift card to go with this kit.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I think I might
have to keep an eye out for this designer as this kit is really pretty and can
be used for girls of all ages, I would be happy to receive it myself.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Not sure if I
will get to share anything this weekend as it’s my lovely grandson Laytons
birthday tomorrow so I am going to join them for a little shopping trip for
Layton to chose his pressie, then off to lunch... after that Layton is going to
cinema with his mum and auntie so I will have a wonder around the shops then
head off to my daughters as I am spending the weekend with them, more because
its Mother’s Day on Sunday</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So all I can now
say is have a lovely weekend – and all the mums out there – I hope you have a
wonderful day and get spoilt, as mums should!</span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Good evening</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Again I have
slipped and missed a day – but yesterday I really wasn’t well and in fact was
in bed around 7pm....thank goodness I feel better today, it could be because I have
had a visit from 2 friend, Katie & Karen were members of the class I ran
before I moved over to New Holland and I’ve not seen them to have a good natter
with since so I have a few projects we will get to make.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Anyway on to the
card – I made this for my lovely friend Ann, she has a collection of dogs just
now – and she loves any breed </span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">When I saw this
set on the new cd by Creative Crafting Pollyanna Pickering Best Of Breeds, I
printed it out and sent it off to her – as it happened she opened it with her
birthday cards and now has it sat on her desk</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Again this
design is a plate and stand, so I printed the sheet which had the plate, the
stand and 2 small circular toppers. I stuck this sheet to a sheet of white
350gsm white card then printed off a backing sheet which I used on the back of
the stand. The plate had an interactive back so I added my personal message and
printed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">As you can
imagine there really wasn’t a lot to make up, I cut out the plate then stuck
the back panel in place with pva glue. The stand was scored down the centre, I
scored it on the front and the back so the papers didn’t tear.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The 2 circles I
made into badges as I have a bag of pins with a self adhesive strip, at least
then the badges were more use than 2 small circles!</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">As I said the
card arrived without Ann knowing I was sending her it so as it was near her
birthday she just added it to the cards she had received ready for the big day.</span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Evening everyone
and thank you for the reminder I hadn’t yet blogged today...I had it all worked
out so I could watch tv from 6pm to 9pm then get down to sharing a card</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">This card was
made up for one of the class lady’s who celebrated her birthday mid week so I
am safe to share with you</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I have used the
stepper die by Presscut to create the card, this was cut from 350gsm white
card, I then cut the 2 side panels, lower front panel and centre panel from
purple pearl card, and these were then put through the big shot using a
Cuttlebug folder, Swiss Dots</span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The purple
panels were then stuck in place using double sided tape and then it was put to
one side while I did the die cutting.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I used the same
white as the card base and the same purple card; I cut out 2 of everything – 1 in
white and the other in purple. 2 large scrolls, I think they are Cheery Lynn
dies, 2 Happy and 2 Birthday then a selection of Tattered lace flowers and some
leaves.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">To start with I
used dots of pva glue on the back of the purple scroll, and then laid this
slightly off centre onto the white scroll. This was then stuck across the main front
panel with some of the scroll over hanging the card at the left side as well as
the top.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The Happy and
the Birthday were stuck in the same way, so the white acts as a shadow. The
sentiment was stuck off centre on the panel.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The flowers were
built up using a mix of white and purple flowers – loopy daisies and filigree
looking daisies. I slipped in the odd leaf here and there and glued the biggest
cluster to the top left of the main panel, the smaller cluster was built and
glued to the bottom of the panel.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">To finish I kept
it simple, I simply added a contrasting Card Candy to the centre of each flower
cluster using a small sticky pad to hold them in place.</span></div>

is another card shared... </span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">If you like the
look of the stepper card, I will happily cut you a couplke and mail them to
you, just send me a message with colour card and colour for the mats and also
your address and I will get them off to you asap.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And now its
coffee time and got a program all about owls that I want to watch – if I can
stay awake that is!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Hello</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">First of all I
want to say a huge thank you to my wonderful friends who have emailed, texted
and facebook messaged me about my not blogging for 3 days now, it means a lot
knowing you really do enjoy what I share with you</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I have had a
rough few days – I really over did things on Wednesday which resulted in me
going off to be around 8pm – totally unknown for me unless I am ill. Thursday
and Friday turned into busy days so again I was shattered – add to that
restless legs which would not calm down despite taking all my meds on
time...but I am feeling much better today</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">This morning I
caught the train to Cleethorpes with Fern and my friend, Fern was great on the
train and loved the chance to run free on the beach, shame every man and his
dog were on the beach at the same time...people see this big white Lurcher
charging towards them and their dog at 100 mile an hour and start squealing...so
sadly she had to go back on her lead, but we walked along the prom then headed
into town and took it in turn to do a little shopping – sat and had a welcome
coffee before catching the train home again....Fern came in, had a bowl of
water and then flopped and hasn’t moved since!!!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Anyway you pop
by to see my card not hear about me and the dog sorry.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">This card is fab
– but it had me baffled – 3 attempts before I finally got it right!</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">This is a kit by
Carol Clarke and was bought from <a href="http://www.craftsuprint.com/">www.craftsuprint.com</a></span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">It has loads of
sheets to the kit, 2 for the envelope, 2 backing papers, 2 to make up the
pirate and a sheet to form the stand and some sentiments.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I started but
cutting the main pirate and the mechanism out roughly, sprayed the backs with
Crafters Companion Stick & Stay then smoothed the pieces onto white 300gsm
card and then cut out properly, the decoupage elements were also cut out. The
mechanism was sprayed on the back and stuck to the black and white striped
backing paper and cut out. The pirate top and bottom were sprayed and then
stuck to the red with black spots backing paper and cut out.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The decoupage
elements were attached to the pirate using small 1mm thick sticky pads, once
that was done I used a black promarker and ran it across all the outer edges of
the card, just looks so much nicer than black sections with white edges.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizadIG_QOaMX0KAuA0ls4OU0FgVhySKzHj1Dg4k2ymtO-0KTAYCmhT0rWX4c8SHA8yWoePJXNfHzG7EgYlMAZh9fAvi42MeNYIcyIgpHrhYkbJo1asguxPb2bxQzoKayPjBJsQiDJQBGI/s1600/DSC00633.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizadIG_QOaMX0KAuA0ls4OU0FgVhySKzHj1Dg4k2ymtO-0KTAYCmhT0rWX4c8SHA8yWoePJXNfHzG7EgYlMAZh9fAvi42MeNYIcyIgpHrhYkbJo1asguxPb2bxQzoKayPjBJsQiDJQBGI/s1600/DSC00633.JPG" height="400" width="115" /></a></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And this is
where I went wrong, not once, not twice – but 3 yes 3 times!!!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">All I had to do
was score the mechanism in 3 places and add double sided tape to 3 sections...
I scored all 3 lines check. Added the double sided tape in the 3 sections check...so
that was 2 of the 3 parts correct. Now I had to remove the backing tape from
the smallest section and attach to the back of pirates lower body, 1<sup>st</sup>
mistake! I attached it upside down so as I removed it I tore the backing paper
so luckily saved the excess, so I recovered and was ready to go again. I added
more double sided tape to the smallest section, removed the backing and made
sure the pirate was the right way up – 2<sup>nd</sup> mistake! I stuck the
boots to the panel. Again I tore the backing as I tore away the panel, this
time I had to reprint the full sheet of backing paper, recovered the pirates
lower half and added yet more double sided tape to the panel but this time I
played with the mechanism until I was sure I had it right – and at last it sunk
in, I had to stick the panel to the top of the shorts at the back – hooray! How
easy was that!!!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">All I then had
to do was stick the upper body to the other section of the mechanism where I
had the double sided tape – I even managed to mess this up because I got the
mechanism stuck to the body at the most peculiar angle, but thankfully I had
used Pritt stick so it peeled away without damage to the panel or the body –
phew! </span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So there it is –
my on the shelf Pirate card...I just need to make up the envelope and add my
verse to the back. I know the sheet had a few sentiments and also a diagram on
how to display the card but who knows where that went to...</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So I hope you
liked the card – and got a little chuckle along the way!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Next time I will
share my 1<sup>st</sup> visit to a tanning centre as well as a card of course</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Enjoy the weekend;
especially if it’s as nice where you are as it is here, summer is certainly on
its way (just like my holiday)</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Hi</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I am so angry
with myself as I really thought I had posted a card on my blog yesterday, it
was only when I opened up my word doc I saw the last entry was for the new baby
cards</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Normally after I
add photos to the blog I slip the folder over to a card folder, I saw the card
I thought I’d shared yesterday so dropped it into my card folder, but there isn’t
anything I can do about it now so let’s just get on with the card for today.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I have used a
Pollyanna Pickering cd for the main image – I had to make up a card with the
theme of rabbits, I saw the little rabbits on the sheet so opted for it.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The sheet was
for a square card but I wanted to do it as an A5 so simply printed a sheet of
contrasting backing paper, punched the corners with a fancy X cut punch then

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Then the square topper
was stuck to the top half of the card and the simple shaped topper and ribbon
bow added on sticky pads.</span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I had printed
out some teabag tiles so played around a bit and ended up with a nice square
base design but with a diamond centre so I cut out lots of bunnies using scraps
of kraft card and they were then stuck across the ribbon and bow and the seated
bunny sat happily in the centre of the teabag</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I came across a
simple banner that said Just to Say and was in a lovely powder blue so used
that with a bunny at either side of it.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">To finish off the
card I sued small peel off dots in all the corners and in the fancy punched
corners too then used various different coloured flower soft on the trees and
pretty summer flowers in the field</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So what was a

will like it!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Afternoon</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">A little treat
of sorts today as I have 2 cards – both very similar and both the kits were
designed by Paper Creator and were bought from https://printable-craftshop.com/boutique/
at an amazing price too...I paid just £1 each but when I came to checkout I
found it was a bogof so even better.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Rather than show
one today and the other tomorrow I decided they should be grouped as one – so we
have baby boy and baby girl – the kits are called Bubbles Of Love 6x6 card kit</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnEZrk_DIzrennKhs1I5UErX7zxdAEX3WNQ36Wkd3yFiUfkqk3IJuevTivRgUjY5euwYxLXD3Rkd1Zl8_6QuPzsHVt30y5IcXU2vwYnabu0TntEavYjiUlm_Rwn80RsZi5b60QZai26l8/s1600/DSC00561.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnEZrk_DIzrennKhs1I5UErX7zxdAEX3WNQ36Wkd3yFiUfkqk3IJuevTivRgUjY5euwYxLXD3Rkd1Zl8_6QuPzsHVt30y5IcXU2vwYnabu0TntEavYjiUlm_Rwn80RsZi5b60QZai26l8/s1600/DSC00561.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So for both
cards I used an A4 sheet of 300gsm card which I folded in half using line 7 of
the blue score board the turn the card and score again to create the 6x6 card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The base layer
was attached to the card front using double sided tape, and there are 2 panels
to each kit – one is a pale blue panel with pale blue bubbles on it and then
the other panel is a pink or blue mottled looking paper, so I made them both up
the same, the bubbles paper was stuck across the card and the coloured panel
stuck down the left side.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The topper was
mounted using double sided tape, it fitted nicely over the bubbles and between
the mottled panels. I have used double sided tape throughout the card so far.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The decoupage
was very easy to cut out making the kits perfect for new crafters as well as seasoned
crafters.</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The sticky pads
I am using now are by Stix2 and I like these as they are just 1 mm thick. This
gives the decoupage lift but doesn’t make it high and wobbly looking.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The sentiment is
the same on both cards – Bubbles of Love but obviously in the colour of the
card itself and the text is facing the baby – and I love the baby boy just look
at his sweet little face!!</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The sheets were
very generous with the decoupage; in fact I only used 3 layers on each card and
left over 2 layers which I made into atcs so making this kits even more value
for money.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I bought and
made up the kits for no other reason than they were lovely to make up and
always handy to have just in case a new baby should come along!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The kits also
have lots of different sized bubbles to decorate the cards with – after all they
are called Bubbles of Love, but I haven’t used them yet as not sure I like them
on the cards, but when I come to add some glitter and glossy accents I may well
change my mind.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I hope the cards
made you smile with the cute babies – and if they did I'm glad I shared the
cards and cheered up your Sunday.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Be back again
tomorrow with something else – as yet don't know what and I don't think I will
be working on anything today as got a touch of headache and apart from that – I
can't be bothered with anything, could be because I was up and down all night
as I wasn't too well...but never mind!</span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Hi</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">It’s another
late entry, I completely forgot until hubby asked what card had I put on my
blog today, it’s a 1<sup>st</sup> because like most men he doesn’t generally
take much notice!!!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Its my good
friend Ann’s birthday today – Happy Birthday Ann, and I decided to make her a
card that is similar to lots of others I make – just because she always
comments on them and says how nice she thinks they are.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I have used the
Cupcake Crafting Bloomilicious cd – so now you know where I am coming from you
should know what to expect!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">This is set 7
the blue and lemon flowers – I think they may be Iris but if I am wrong please
correct me.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I cut the centre
from the insert, removed the printed white borders then folded into half and
both sides in half again for the gatefold. I used a full sheet of backing paper
to cover the inside of the card then added the insert which left a border along
the left and right edges. I used some fine metallic thread and secured it at
top and bottom of the insert centre and used 2 pretty lemon circular sentiments
back to back with the thread running through it.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">For the card
front I used a deckle edged blade to cut a piece of backing paper to fit, stuck
this in place using double sided tape.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Then I cut out a
mat from lemon adorable scorable using an X-Cut die, this was stuck to the card
front slightly over to the right as I used some beautiful lemon organza ribbon,
I went around the spine with it and secured in the centre, and tied a lovely
double bow and this was stuck over the join using a large sticky dot.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">My decoupage was
carefully cut out and built up using Pinflair gel I believe, the top most
pieces were shaped before putting into place.</span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I struggled to
find a suitable sentiment, I have lots of general sentiments in a rainbow of
colours thanks to the fab parcel that arrived from Dianne Jackson of Diannes
Diecuts, but I couldn’t quite match up with the flow of the card so my bumped
box of all manner of sentiments, mainly what have been left over from sheets
and kits or printed from cds, and I came across a sheet of butterfly shaped
foiled sentiments – what could be better – a butterfly to go with the
flowers!!!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And it was in
the right colour too, that was glued to the bottom right hand corner with
Cosmic Shimmer pva glue. 3 clear ab gems were glues to the bottom corner under the butterfly</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFpbl_eD1W72vDqz1a5_67E55Q2wqS8_Nk4dcCRvHw-yOCLZ3MM33wreXxCShkmfvo0dLXMl95rty3HRKbZMHL9Cu2olg-bg8Mks9DVcfRAF4RuEF7oakxl2NbiO4qHohWKShGmB8e0ZE/s1600/DSC00526.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFpbl_eD1W72vDqz1a5_67E55Q2wqS8_Nk4dcCRvHw-yOCLZ3MM33wreXxCShkmfvo0dLXMl95rty3HRKbZMHL9Cu2olg-bg8Mks9DVcfRAF4RuEF7oakxl2NbiO4qHohWKShGmB8e0ZE/s1600/DSC00526.JPG" height="400" width="275" /></a></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And that
completed the birthday card, I enjoyed the cutting out and they always look
lovely with the cut out centres.</span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Hello</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I just have to
show you the fab card I had in the past a day or so ago.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">You may recall I
had made a card as part of my craft forum challenge, I was sent a kit to create
something with and I made the card and shared it on here – it was called the
Ukando challenge I believe...well I made up a kit and sent it off to a talented
lady Caz to see what she could do with it</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I sent out the
topper, backing paper, a bit of ribbon, gems and some other bits I really can’t
recall now.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I knew having
Caz as my partner I would be getting a grand card back and I did!!!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">She has matted
the backing paper onto silver mirri card leaving a narrow border all round, the
corners have been cut in rather than out which looks great.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The whole card
has been through an embossing folder then the matted paper stuck on top – and
then used more silver mirri, put that through an embossing folder then matted
the image on top and tied a bow along side of it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglKytPVjZsCKD6lFO36dtel5Dgpb0agvTGUvvrPBA-frVmHWBiVM6_3Yj5J6bUqKKTxxyvWo1b3i32ODGzYwnM39Jzk8YFUh0qg73Pi1qQA0NiaDMh4qOfUuKCnvC-Eck7WhYCj6olKiU/s1600/DSC00550.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglKytPVjZsCKD6lFO36dtel5Dgpb0agvTGUvvrPBA-frVmHWBiVM6_3Yj5J6bUqKKTxxyvWo1b3i32ODGzYwnM39Jzk8YFUh0qg73Pi1qQA0NiaDMh4qOfUuKCnvC-Eck7WhYCj6olKiU/s1600/DSC00550.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Caz has created
a sentiment to match the colour scheme and matted it onto silver mirri card. A
shaped border of silver mirri has been embossed and a length of purple spotty
ribbon has been laid across it then the sentiment is on top.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Caz has used
large pink AB gems in the corners of the panel and also on the spotty ribbon. Pretty
white flower shaped gems have been stuck to flower heads on the backing paper.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And if that wasn’t
good enough, Caz had imported the backing paper i sent into Greeting Card
Factory and created a double page patterned insert with a super verse added.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I am sure you
will all agree with me when I say this is a wonderful card and so creative to
be made from a handful of basic card making bits.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Thank you Caz –
I really do love it!!!</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">It’s wet and

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">After printing
out the 6 sheets I cut away the pieces that didn’t need sticking to card, which
really wasn’t many pieces, as always I used Crafters Companion Stick & Stay,
I have found if you do small sprays rather than one long whoosh I don’t have
problems with the paper peeling away from the card – I just wish I could come
up with a way of uising it and not getting it over my fingers or nails as its
hard to get off even with sticky stuff removers.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">All the pieces
were cut out and on the side pieces are lots of slots that need to be cut away
for the supports to go through so I used a scalpel with a new blade for each
side, no point taking all the time to cut it out and make a mess of the sides.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I used a
selection of glues on this card, double sided tape, both red and normal, in 3
different widths, Cosmic Shimmer pva and the good old Pritt stick.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">As I have made
up lots of these cards before I didn’t need to refer to the instructions but
having browsed them while waiting for the printing I can see how some parts are
confusing....then again I must have used the instructions when I made my 1<sup>st</sup>
one and managed.</span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The card really
has the WOW factor, and the doors push closed so it fits in an 8x8 envelope.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">There really isn’t
much more I can say about the card and making it up – other than it went together
perfectly 1<sup>st</sup> time and I just love the theme of it too.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">My biggest
problem was what sentiment to use – there were 16 in all covering almost every occasions
so I took a safe option and used Just For You and stamped a basic verse to the
back, I can use this card for Birthday, Get Well, Thank You...the list is
endless, and if anyone wanted to buy it they will see it for whatever occasion
too.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The verse was by
Flower Soft, and fitted the panel perfectly as I forgot to add a verse before I
printed it and didn’t want to waste the page</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And that’s your
lot for today</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">But I have
something nice just waiting to be shared tomorrow so be sure to call back</span></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Hello</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Well the weather
here today has been lovely, at one stage I was sat outside in a sun top for
half an hour while my floors dried...good excuse not that I need one – for those
who know me the minute the sun is out so am I...</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Again today’s
project isn’t a card – it’s one of the pop up boxes which is a mystery as to
where it came from or even who designed it, it was another thing I found on my
pc when looking for something else! You should all have a go at this, go to
your Start/Windows button and click, this will open up a new window with a
search box – type a word in the box then click on see more results, this brings
up everything on your pc that has that word in it...sometimes when I am stuck
for what to do I do that and spend a couple of hours sometimes looking at it
all.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So as I said
this is a pop up box which I made for a lovely lady who is a member of my
online forum and also comes to our annual craft retreat – Caz...its her birthday
today and I know she has received this as she replied to a message I sent her
this morning.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I printed out
the 3 sheets, and as I do when a sheet needs some strength I roughly cut around
the pieces and used stick & stay to hold the paper to the card, then cut it
out properly, a little hint here – if you have to score card, and especially
card that has a printed paper stuck to it, score gently on the right side 3 or 4
times then turn the sheet over and score again a few times but a little harder
this time, this should stop the card from splitting.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">So now I have my
main pop up box, backing paper stuck on the inside, all cut out and scored so I
used strong double sided tape to hold it in place.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The 2 pieces of
card that are used inside the box to hold decorations in place was also attached
using strong tape.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuLp631plKXZBw6ehyThswLAZSQ9_Zv8gsm4mu6j3pZDh5JEOzAvQO8robmRo52RnF-CNejIwXt_qJMHq9J6bjEOgFve28eLOo02iVZDUQIODXKE_BVbe46js6iJB4mXvjubjiIPYe4eM/s1600/DSC00513.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuLp631plKXZBw6ehyThswLAZSQ9_Zv8gsm4mu6j3pZDh5JEOzAvQO8robmRo52RnF-CNejIwXt_qJMHq9J6bjEOgFve28eLOo02iVZDUQIODXKE_BVbe46js6iJB4mXvjubjiIPYe4eM/s1600/DSC00513.JPG" height="400" width="368" /></a></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Next I added the
printed panels to the flaps of the box, I used normal double sided tape for
this as these panels are for decoration not support.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">There were just
2 pieces of decoration, both flowers so I stuck them to card the cut them both
out. Before sticking inside the box I added a blob of pva to the centre of the
flower and covered with cerise glitter. The next flower had the same treatment
but with gold glitter.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">While they were
drying I cut out the 3 sentiment tags that were part of the kit, they had been
backed onto card, I punched a hole in them all and added a dark red eyelet then
slotted a length of pink and white butchers twine through the tags, I then
punched a hole in the back panel, top left corner and tied the twine through it.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The glitter was
dry on the flowers so I added strong tape across the bottom of each and stuck
then to the supports I added earlier.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I also printed
the envelope which I made up to send the card in – but had no actual postage
stamps so had to use my online account and print off the address label and
postage – doesn’t half spoil a pretty envelope, but it got there and the box
was in tact so job done!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I chose the card
making set, this was sheet 1 & 2 if you like it.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The set is to
fit a square card, I believe it’s 5.5x5.5 but its a gatefold design so to start
I use an unfolded sheet of card. I tend to stick the main part in the centre of
the card, then I score either side of it, then stick the inside gatefold fold
sheets in place.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I bend both
sides towards the centre to make sure I don’t end up with a gap. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Next I add the
side pieces first, they are a good fit so no measuring is needed. Now I am on
to the topper, to start with I stuck it to a piece of card for support then I
cut it out and added strong double sided tape to the left half only and stuck
it centrally to my card front</span><span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And that is the
card finished.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #31849b; font-family: "BD Merced"; font-size: 16.0pt;">As I said it’s
not the nicest card to have to make but I like this cd because it’s not the
normal cross or lilies, and the inside panel has a lovely verse incorporated into
the design.</span></div>
