Modern Mosaic gets punched and embossed

Hi everyone.

Wow, where did summer go?  I think I blinked and missed it ........ I just cannot believe its September already.  Kids are back to school and college and normal life has resumed.

During the summer holidays I did some extra one to one classes with a few ladies and these are the makes from one of those sessions.

We used, modern mosaic stamps, embossing folder and punch.  Teamed with Love labels and matching punch.

Isn't this one gorgeous ....... its in early espresso  .......... no really Mum, this is brown not Black !!

The gorgeous love label and chevron ribbon just finish this of beautifully.

Tape it, meets modern mosaic - love this one so cute.  Hello honey and strawberry slush. I have also used the now retired occasions alphabet set  for the sentiment.  Finished the whole thing off with some lovely sparkly jewels. 

And how about this one - using the label punch and splitting them to create backgrounds.  I used the chevron embossing folder to create texture on this one before adding modern mosaic centres and those gorgeous itty bitty butterflies.  Cute.  

We had a lovely day at class an the ladies really enjoyed themselves.

If you would like some lessons or some crafty time with your friends and would like to do something similar then please get in contact to arrange a date and time.

I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

There is some exciting news coming tomorrow - I am just finalising my plans, so please check back then to see.

Early Espresso Birthday and 50% free

In today's post:

• Sandras Birthday, early espresso and crumb cake
• Short and Sweet - 50% extra free
• Big shot, big deals

Morning everyone.

Hows your week been?  Mines been lovely.  Although I am missing my kids, (They're away with family), the house is quiet, and too tidy.  But I have had lots of time to get crafty and make some special gifts for special people.

It was my friend Sandra's birthday so I needed to make her an extra special card.  I am loving crumb cake and early espresso together at the moment, and here's what I came up with.

I made the base for this by folding a piece of UK A4 in half to create an A5 card.

Very vanilla was stamped with Gorgeous Grunge

Matts and layers using the windows framelits were finished off with the lovely saying from the Feel Goods set.

Don't you love that heart border.  Created completely with our hearts boarder punch.  Yummy.

Beautiful ribbon deserves a beautiful bow.  Finished off with a gorgeous button.

Don't you love the colour of this button.  Yep, me too.  And it started life as a clear faceted button.  I coloured it with a blendabilitie pen in the darkest of the skin tones.  Gorgeous.

Off course the inside had to look pretty too.

 

And there was a matching tag for her present.

mmmm chocolates.

So I hear whats this short and sweet, and the 50% free.  Yes I did say 50% free.

Hello to all my lovely followers out there in blogland.  I hope that you are all well today.

Its a bit cooler here today, and we had some rain overnight ..... my tomatoes are really loving an extra dash of water - Its the first time I've grown tomatoes ......... the colour is somewhat inspiring me .... but more on that another day ........

So what did you do at the weekend ...................

It was the last Saturday of the month and that meant that my two classes ran on Saturday.  It was so hot, i'm surprised we didn't melt, but it was good fun.  

Anyway here are the six cards that were made during the One Sheet Wonder Class.  It is an A4 one sheet wonder and I got my inspiration from the lovely Mae.  Thank you Mae.

We used Blushing Bride, pear pizzaz and early espresso for our colours and the lovely Polka Dot Pieces stamp set.

In this class you get 4 sheets of A4 card stock and three co-ordinating sheets of A5 card stock.  If you want to join in the class you can order it via email :  craftybirdlisa@gmail.com and will I happily send the instructions and kit to you.  The cost for the Class is £10 plus (P&P)

This was the morning class.  Check back later in the week to see the afternoon class.  The two classes combine using the same stamp set.

Daffodil Delight meets Blendabilities

Hi everyone.

Are you well?  I hope so..........

Todays card was a joy to do, not only because of the lovely sunny colour, but also because I was again able to sit and colour using the amazing new blendabilities.

I just can't begin to tell you how much I love these pens.  Its because of them that I have rediscovered my passion for colouring ............. I'm now 45 going on 5 (hee hee)

Anyway I used one of my favourite stamps - The swallowtail and stamped it in momento ink and got out my pens .......... sat under the tree in my garden with a cold glass of juice and away I went.  My stress levels went down and all my cares melted away.  Bliss .......

I just love that my crafting takes me somewhere else ......... its a wonderful relaxing hobby which creates something amazing at the end.  Brilliant.

Isn't this gorgeous.  I just love love love it.

And here's a close up to show you how smooth and blended the inks are.  The highlights done with the blender pen come through really well and its all so easy with these pens.

Do you want to see the finished card?

Of course you do ...........

I also had great fun playing with my new embossing folder as well.  I inked one side in Early Espresso and then put in my whisper white card stock and ran it through the big shot.  Look at how cool that is.  I matted and layered the butterfly on Early Espresso card stock and added some ribbon to finish.

What do you think?  I love getting your comments and questions and always try and reply, so please do leave them.
