Letterpress

DoCrafts have been selling their letterpress for half price, and I spent my eBay earnings on it. I love the effect it gives. It needs a bit of practice - my first attempts were dreadful. These are the cards I've made with it.

Christmas gift

Just finished this lovely bracelet for my Mum. It's a memory wire bracelet so should stretch to fit. I made it from a kit bought on eBay. It was fairly easy to do.

MSE birthday cards

I received two beautiful cards for my birthday from the MSE forum.




Thanks Padster!




Thanks Jowri!

Craft Club Week 2

Just had my second week at the craft club this morning. Was good fun. We made two cards with a lovely autumnal feel.




This one was made from a selection of x-cut botanical punches, with inked edges, stuck onto a die cut hoop. A few wire spirals made from garden wire are stuck in there too.




This one was a distress ink background (my second attempt - made a complete botch first time). We stamped with water and blotted to create a white shadow and then stamped with ink on top. You can't really see the effect in this photo though.
