A few piccys of my sample cards for Particraft

Hello there.........still busy, busy, busy and a poorly little man but I thought I'd post a few piccys of some of my samples that I've made previously for when I do my Particraft demonstrating. Hope that you like them..................:-)

From the Happy Birthday plate, heat embossed background, heat embossed greeting in white and the ribbons decorated with glossy accents..........simple but quite striking......suitable for a man me thinks



From the Birds plate and Bold Backgrounds plate................just a few different shades of cardstock and Vintage Photo Distress ink pad........



This is a great technique.........ink and clear emboss the edges and then, using your craft mat as a palette put distress ink straight onto it........add sprays of water and then simply slide the card through the watered ink.......dry it with a heat gun and keep repeating that process until the desired background effect is achieved........The stamped image is from the Dream plate.

Hi

Well hello there everyone.................I've been so busy making cards for the craft fair in Bakewell that I haven't had time to take any new photos or even to tell you what I've been up to.

I've not even managed to play much with my Grand Caliber yet and have only used it for cutting out some mats so far. If anyone out there is doing anything adventurous with their machines...........drop me  a line and tell me all about it. Would love to know what you are all getting up to.

My little man has been so poorly this last week too and that's knocked me off my stride. He's lost over 10 pounds in weight so far and the antibiotics don't seem to be working for him. My parents are ill to but I seem to have escaped the virus...........keeping my fingers well and truely crossed :-)

Here's a couple of my sample cards for you to have a look at and I'll get some piccys of the fair cards asap. Until then hope you all have a great week and get plenty of crafting done yourselves............Take care x


using 1 stamp only  from the Dream plate 




From the Happy Birtday stamp plate....simple but quite effective



Problems Problems Problems

Hi Everyone...........Sorry not posted for ages but everytime I tried to post my internet would freeze. My wonderful niece has just spent ages on the phone talking me around what the problems could be and I gather it was something to do with my Internet Security. What a wonderful young lady my Clare is and now I shall be able to post to my little heart's content and will get some more piccys on here asap. Been busy making for my first craft fair of the year at Bakewell on 26th Feb but had to diverse from all stamped creations as there are many different tastes out there.

See you in a couple of days.............
