Hunkydory Christmas card number 14

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your weekend going? We had a lovely time at  Gun Wharf Quays yesterday. We managed to   do some Christmas shopping and we had a nice meal in Cafe Rouge to use our vouchers. The in the evening on Saturday we went to an Autumn event at our church which was fun. Today should be a bit quieter.

Do you remember the batch of Christmas cards I made from a Hunkydory kit that came free with issue 188 of Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine?  Well there were some bits left over from the kit and I was able to make another card.

The paper came from the set it is just so pretty. 

This image was cut from a piece of card in the kit. The sentiment was made with a Tattered Lace die. 

I have enjoyed using this kit and there are still a few bits left. I would like to use it all up this year.

Hunkydory Christmas cards

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? We had a fabulous time at Destination Star Trek at the NEC in Birmingham. If you love Star Trek you will understand.

As you might know I have been struggling to get my Christmas made this year. I bought a copy of Cardmaking and Papercraft that had a free Hunkdory Christmas papercraft  kit. I loved using this kit. I made quite a few cards.

This one was my favourite I used the snow globe and one of the backing papers. 

There was a set of robin cards. I love seeing robins on Christmas cards. 

Here is a selection of cards with snowy scenes. 

The I made cards with deer on.

I made all of these cards in one session. There are some bits of the kits left so there will be at least another couple of cards to come. A lot of these cards will go to the Brownie Coffee Morning my friend is organising. 

Have a great week. I know a lot of people are on half term this week.

Flower Fairies Gift Collection from Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Happy Weekend. I hope you are doing something nice. Yesterday we visited our daughter and her new husband. They have been married for exactly a week. Doesn't time go by quickly. We did have a brilliant time at the wedding. We have lots of lovely memories to cherish.

Well I keep treating myself to crafty bits and pieces the latest being the August issue of Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine with its Flower Fairy Gift Collection. I remember the flower fairies from my youth and I know my mother-in-law loves them too.

The gorgeous paper came with the kit. There is gold foiling on the frames of the images so I added gold and purple mats and layers. 

This is a small picture of a Harebell. 

This is the Harebell Fairy she is very pretty. The paintings of the flower fairies were done in the 1920's by Cicely Mary Barker. 

The sentiment was cut with a a Spellbinders die I do like the font. 

I was very pleased with how this card turned out. There are lots of elements left in the kit so I will be making some more cards and other things. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Happy Birthday flowers

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope that you had a good weekend. We had a whirlwind of a day on Saturday. The concert by Rick Wakeman was very enjoyable he talked about a few concerts we had been to in the past. Including an amazing orchestral version of the Six Wives of Henry VIII set in the grounds of Hampton Court Palace. On Sunday we both worked on more of the wedding stationery that is needed for the end of March. Some things can't be done till right at the last minute. Our daughter and her fiancé are just beginning to thrash out their plans for their wedding.

I treated myself to the March issue of Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine and the free gift was a Hunkydory paper kit. I used the kit to make a birthday card for my mum.

This is an 8" x 8" card made with papers and toppers from the kit. I added mats and layers,  some butterflies, pearls and a ribbon. The papers and toppers are so pretty. 

I added mats to the topper too and I cut the corners to match. 

I added some butterflies cut with Sue Wilson die. They matched the silver butterflies on the topper. 

Here is is the finished card. The orange glow is from the setting sun when I was taking the photograph. 

Have a great week.

Happy Crafting
