Week 319 - Allsorts Challenge - Strawberries and Cream

Hello my fellow crafters,

Thankyou for joining me for another Saturday morning blog post and another week has flown by but how lovely has that sunshine been.

For all of you Wimbledon  lovers I hope that you have been enjoying it and what a shame that Andy Murray has been knocked out :(  bring on next year!

Anyway! lets get on with the job in hand today and  the team have been asked to make a project using the title -

 

Strawberries and Cream

Yummy!

We could have either chosen to use the colours or the image and this is what I have chosen to do -

 

So I went with the image of the gorgeous summer fruit and cream and this is a very pretty topper from a set from the Hobby House. The topper already comes die cut in that lovely shape.  The background has been made using a Create a Card die from Crafters Companion.  The bunting has been made using one of my favourite dies from Joanna Sheen's Signature range - I have cut them in the pink and the blue and then layered both strings with a lime green which I have picked out of the background card.

The team at Allsorts have done a lovely job this week showing off all of their different projects so please pop over to the blog. We have 2 very generous sponsors this week so why not post a design and be in with a chance to win.

All of these dies and the Hobby| House toppers, as well as many other Hobby House products that we love are available on our Let's Create website and all orders over £10 are all free p and P!

I hope that you all enjoy a lovely weekend and please find a couple of minutes to leave me a comment if you like the project today.

Thankyou for popping in and hope to see you again next Saturday.

Bye for now

Day 4 - Christmas Inspiration

Hello again Crafters,

Day 4 of Christmas inspiration has arrived and I have a really quick and very simple card to hopefully get your mojo going for your Christmas makes.

The is the Nativity scene from Crafter's Companion Create a Card dies.  

I have cut and embossed it once on black Centura Pearl which is ideal to use for this traditional scene. It is a must to emboss it as well as cut as you get all of the fine detail.

I have used guilding flakes onto double sided adhesive for the background - I'm not sure if you can get the real feel of this from the photograph.  Gold gems dotted around gives it a bit of bling. I matted both layers onto cream cardstock and then onto a 7" ivory cardblank.

This is one of Friday's workshop cards and hope they enjoy making it as much as I did.

Thank you for popping by again and hope you can leave a comment,

See you tomorrow,

Bye for now

Jo xx
