Honesty Heart Thank You Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How it everyone doing? What strange times we are living in. My husband is working from home. We have managed to buy all we need. There is a very large jigsaw on the go. I have been needle felting and card making. I also have lots of books to read. I am also trying to get out for a walk every day but of course not interacting with anyone.

Back in February when things were normal I went to a workshop with John Lockwood aka John Next Door. It was the day after the Farnborough Craft show (oh boy am I glad I bought all that glue). We stayed over night in a hotel where we spent most of the evening talking to the couple on the next table who were also there because of  the Craft Show. A bit later Dawn Bibby and her entourage came in and had a meal.

This is the card that I started at the workshop but finished at home.


I found a patterned paper in my stash. 


At the workshop we stamped the Blossom stamp then we used Izink Ice to colour the paper. The stamp still showed through. When this was dry the Blossom Die Plate was use to cut out the flowers. The flowers were shaped that is as far as I got. At home I put the flowers together and I added a gem. The Star Flower leaves were used to accent the flower. 


I also cut the Honesty Heart die I backed it with a pale colour and I gave the heart a black mat. The sentiment was cut with the Thank You die from the Sentiments 1 die set. All the dies I used are from the John Next Door range. 


There you have it. Not quite what we were meant to make but I like it. I always make something better when I have a chance to think about it. 

Stay safe and well

Happy Crafting

Card made at a Workshop with John Next Door aka John Lockwood

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

Well it is a damp dreary day here today. I have been out for a walk to try out my new waterproof coat to see if it works. I am pleased to say that I didn't really get wet at all. I did treat myself to some matching gloves and of course I had a coffee while I was out. Today my dad is having a trial day at an Adult Day Care centre. I will be phoning later to see how he got on. He won't be able to tell me that is just how it is.

I thought I would share the card I made a a workshop with John Next Door which was the day after the Farnborough Craft show. I did adapt it a little when I got home.


Everything was provided in the workshop. We used the new Izink Ice to colour some white paper. We all used three shades. I chose two greens and a yellow. 


The Blossom Die plate was used to cut out the flowers and they were shaped with a ball tool. Gems were added to the centres. 


The Honesty heart die was cut into one of the mats. A larger heart was cut from the coloured paper to back it. 


At home I had some of the coloured paper left over so I cut a sentiment to add to the card. 


I was rather pleased with this card. The flowers are very pretty. I was very good and I only bought some sparkly embossing powder at the workshop. Now I am wondering if I should have bought that flower die. Oh well there will be other lovely new things out soon. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting
