Flowerpot Birthday

A similar, but slightly different, card to one from a recent post.

I had enough brown quilling paper left for another pot - I must have more in the house but didn't have any to hand so decided to make one pot a feature of this card which was for a Crafty Bunch birthday.

Flowers made from the kit from JJ Quilling.  I have mounted the pot & flowers on some X-Cut dies and some matching pearly paper which are all layered on to a lovely shaped card from Craftwork Cards.

Some Anita's gems added in the corners and an SU stamped sentiment punched out and mounted on further SU punched labels.

I am now off to glitter the ongoing card that I might post soon!

Loving and Hugging

These cuties are a Penny Black slapstick stamp I came by recently!

I needed an Anniversary card quite quickly and just had to use them.

They are stamped, then coloured & shaded using copics. The picture and mat are cut out using the new X-Cut nesting dies (ornate frame) which I thought would be a useful shape and a bit different.

The greeting is mounted on a couple of trusty SU punches and the card is finished off with a few gems.

I got my new buys in Crafty Devils at Barnstaple if you are ever in the area it is a lovely well stocked shop!

A spot of Quilling!

Been to a quilling workshop this evening to make sure I keep trying to get new ideas.

This flower is made up of petals which are strips of paper wrapped round an onion holder, going up one 'rung' at a time!

The second layer is 5 eccentric coils and then a fringed flower sits in the middle.

Quilled tendrils and bow to finish the quilling side of things.

A Martha Stewart punch (not mine) was used for the border and an x-cut butterly. There is a room for a greeting if and when required.
