Blooming Gorgeous

Hello folks, time to share another project for 

THE CRAFTY ADDICTS

Challenge 04 

(Always Anything Goes)

I've mentioned before how I could be a bit of a

"creativity snob" at times, but I have always appreciated

the pre-cut card kits you can buy.

We don't always have the time or the inclination 

to create from scratch.

I decided to use this gorgeous kit from 

HUNKYDORY

Beautiful soft shades and classically elegant images.

(and foiled which makes photos difficult lol)

Took a base card sheet and my trusty score board

(Crafter's Companion Pro)

and made a fancy fold....

I had a piece of lace I wanted to add, but it was the

 wrong colour blue, so I took a pro marker and 

changed it.

I also wanted to add an extra butterfly, 

stamped and fussy cut and coloured with same marker...

Minimal effort for a beautifully elegant card.

Enjoy XXX

I would like to share this card with the following challenges:

Everybody Art Challenge #540 - sketch

A Perfect Time to Craft #8- August 2023 - anything goes

Crafts Galore Encore Challenge#114 - anything goes

Rabisco Challenge #48 August Birthday (must use haberdashery)

 

Scarier than Halloween....

is the idea of batch making Christmas cards!!!

So this year I bought a kit from Hunkydory...

made up of 4 compete kits(cardstock/inserts/ toppers)

cos they were at a mega sale price....in June.

My intention was to make a pile of cards up ready to give my MIL 

so she didn't have to by any. She likes larger card and they 

get quite expensive 

(and she always asks me to make some 2 weeks before Christmas)

 I shy away from kits as I don't like being told what to do...

but with such a large quantity of "stash" it has proved quite fun.

 I have made some sticking to the rules ish, using the matching base card and toppers,

and adding matching inserts(MIL loves an insert)

 and then I made some small ones just using blank cards and a single topper :D

 2 cards made from same topper sheet.

 Then I played a bit more...

using the inserts to cover fancy cut cards

 Before adding matching toppers :D

It would appear I have conquered my fear...

this is just todays batch!

BTW I also added a sprinkling of glitteriness to each card

though you can't see it on the photos.

Have Fun :D XXX
