Handmade With Love

Last week I posted a picture of the magazine article I was featured in, so I thought you might like to see the cards close up. Firstly I am sharing this one below.

The digi images and papers are from a collection by Wendy Massey at Handmade Harbour. To create the card I coloured the image with Promarkers before adding a die cut fence and mounting the picture onto card and the corresponding papers. I really love this image (excuse the pun) and think it would make a perfect valentines card.

Later this week I will be sharing the second card in the article -so do pop back!

I am entering the following challenges

That Craft Place - Love / Valentines

Handmade Monday - Handmade Harbour

My Time to Craft - Love is All Around

In Print!

I was so excited to pick up my copy of Cardmaking Using Your PC today as my projects for the Handmade Harbour Design Team are in it!!

These wonderful images can be found on the free cd with the magazine or from the Handmade Harbour Digi site.

I will be posting close ups of my projects later!

Thank You

After Christmas making last week, normal(ish) service has resumed! I have been so busy making Teacher thank you cards that the theme at Handmade Harbour this week is very apt! So why not make a card to say thank you to a special person and or Teacher and join in with the challenge.  I think this one will be winging its way to one of my son's teachers very soon!

I chose Wendy's Thank You In Pots Digi stamp to make this card.I used watercolour paints and pencils to add the colour. I think the bunting gives it a country fete type of feel!

Parties, Picnics and Cake!

No that's not what I have been enjoying, but the theme at Handmade Harbour Challenge this week.

I chose to use the Cupcake and Bunting stamp to create my card.And this is what I came up with

I printed out the image twice so I could decoupage the cakes. I then diecut one of the images with a Spellbinders Scallop Circle die. Then with pens, glitter and glue I went to town on the decoration! The sentiment is made using Thickers which I coloured in with Promarkers.

Do come and join us at Handmade Harbour!

Home Sweet Home

I may well be uttering those words this week, as I am writing this before I leave for a break! However, by the time this is published I will be back!

The theme at Handmade Harbour Challenge this week is Home. For my DT card I created this one.

I used the cottage stamp and coloured it with Promarkers. I paper pieced the bunting and curtains and the door actually opens! I added grass to ground the image. It would make a lovely new home card. I do hope you can join us at the challenge this week!

Other challenges I am entering:

Crafting By Designs - Anything Goes

Spring is here!

What beautiful weather we had at the weekend here in the South. The sunshine inspired me to create this card for the Handmade Harbour Challenge (on which I am a Design Team member). The theme for the fortnight is Spring -  flowers, birds or rabbits.

I used the paper piecing technique with the digital stamp Flowers on the Hill.

I have to say I am quite pleased with the result!

I do hope you will come along and join us at the challenge!

Other challenges I am entering:

The Crafters Cafe - A Square Card

Handmade Harbour - I'm on the DT!

I have been a fan for some time of the fabulous digital stamps from Wendy at Handmade Harbour. So I was over the moon to be accepted on her Design Team.

My first challenge with the team is to add ribbons.

I chose the Campervan Stamp and coloured in with Promarkers. I added I Love You to the number plates and then added ribbon to the bunting.

I can't wait to take part in more challenges with Handmade Harbour and I hope you will join me there!
