Sneaky Peeks......

This Saturday and Sunday I'll be demonstrating at Craftworld in Hillington.It's their twice yearly Craft Extravaganza.Ten demonstrators demoing lots of different products.This time I'll be showcasing Tattered Lace dies.


 Now I'm more of a coloured image type of card maker,so making cards using just dies was really taking me out my comfort zone.I did manage to sneak in a couple with Hobby House pre coloured toppers. (phewwww).
So I thought I'd show a couple of sneaky peeks of 4 of the cards I've made.

Piano Card

I saw some similar type cards to this on Pinterest and thought they were really nice.I already had a template for making a 3D piano so used that to make this. It's something a bit different. I hand cut all the keys,but since then I've bought the Memory Box die of the piano keys so should be easier to make.The papers are BoBunny.

Kitty

I've always been a huge Sugar Nellie fan. I just love all the stamps they produce and even better they are a Scottish company.So it's a joy to support and buy from them. This image is called Kitty and is adorable. I've coloured her with Copic markers apart from her apron and hat bow,which I paper pieced. I used lovely spring colours.

Easter Basket

I saw a tutorial for making a little Easter Basket using the We R Memory Keeper's Envelope Punch Board HERE and decided to give it a go. I cut out my doilies using a die instead of pre made ones. The bow at the top of the handle was also made using the punch board.
