COFFEE TABLE CARD..

 Hello everyone,

If you remember I mentioned and showed my last card standing up and said the joke would come later?..well, here is the reason why..

I made a panel card, it ends up like a booklet really 

but with all different layers..

I used a darker brown card stock for the panels

and there it is all opened up, all good so far.

Mmm...made a boo boo here and need a new edge along the top,

 see, it tapers off.

so a very thin strip pf white

perfect.

this panel needed a touch up too..

a little punched detail trim

and will have to fix this too..

adding my cat food decorated pouch with a tag.

and an envelope made with 8x8 papers.

this bit of kraft paper was a leftover from something

 and had holes punched in it, but it will work.

so after mucking for hours, and putting it all together..

here it is.

Front cover

second flip to the left...

well, there you go, 

BUT...notice not once did I show a picture of it standing up, 

do you know or see the reason why?

It is front heavy and falls over, bum!

Not that it really matters I suppose as you look at it laying down, but, hence the name

My Coffee table card.( book) journal really..

Thank you so much for stopping by and yes, my pork chops were divine..

NEGATIVE PANEL CARD..

 Hello everyone,

Sunday today, I just got some pork chops out to cook up for myself, it is 8am in the morning and I really want to eat them now!!!

Sharing a card I made recently, and called it a negative panel card, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember why until the pictures popped up and I had an Ohhhh!! moment..

these are the fabulous rustic coloured papers and

great patterns and I made a few panels..

Panels glued in place and a smaller set on top going in opposite direction.

Then a frame I had made with scrap papers went on top.. 

then was added to the smaller panels.

And this is the negative bit..I could not throw this away,

I had cut three circle for my round tags and this was left..

and it was plopped right on there..

sort of on the inside..

and it turned out like this..after adding a butterfly..

open like this..

and this..

the flowers and butterfly was cut from my masterboard..

the arch..

standing up..

there is reason why I'm showing it standing up,

 that joke will come soon..

So, there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you soon..

NEGATIVE BUTTERFLIES..

 Hello everyone,

Back to share another project..

I was die cutting up a master board and scraps of papers, making butterflies and flowers for projects, I think I already shared one or two projects using them, but this is what I made using the negative papers..

These are the panel I cut the butterflies from layered onto bright orange cardstock..

and yes, I cut them knowing what I was going for after..

because I did do something similar once before..

anyway, moving on..

i die cut loads of black bodies

using my blossom from Altenew.

three panels done..

and decorated the inside of the cards too..

and made..

two

three

Three thank you cards just changed the sentiment style..

Done.

Thank you so much for stopping by..

MASTER BOARD..

Hello everyone,

Sharing a master board I made using up funny little vintage papers, stamps stickers and stuff..and it kept me busy and it stopped my online shopping!!😂

plus all my orders were done and the Christmas ones are coming in now..

These are the papers, too small really for what I make,

 but very cool as well, so they were my base..

This glue stick is the best I've ever used from Dollarama store here at home

but they have no more and only 99 cents for gosh sakes, 

I only bought ten of them and ploughing 

my way through them..

they stick so well with no sticky up bits.

so covered both side of this very large sheet A3 I think it is, 

So this was emptied, so proud..

now this ones turn but only to fill up gaps..

there they are three of them, both sides..

i don't want to talk about how one side is facing one way and the reverse side is upside down,

 but I really don't want to talk about it..

Time for stamps, stickers or printed, I used them all..

Not bad..

going to get better..

Done..dried and time to chop up..

I made frames, panels (skinny ones, )

labels

butterflies ( come back tomorrow)

and flowers...

So there you go, pop back tomorrow and I'll show

you  what I did with the negatives from the butterflies..

Thank you so much for stopping by

See you tomorrow..
