" QUOTE "..DT

 Hello everyone,

Wednesday which means???? Little Red Wagon time of course and sharing that funny back I made from yesterdays post..

Our Imke is hostess this week and she wants to see quotes..

So I went literal with a quote from George Bernard Shaw..

This is what I was left with and couldn't throw away..

and added a circle die cut to write on and the quote on other side for the lad..

" Life isn't about finding yourself "

Life is about creating yourself "

The front of the card also has leftovers like the kraft circles and the the pocket.

it was an ATC which I made too small so added another card onto which

a book type pocket..

then I stuffed as much as I could inside...tags, bingo panel, and tiny tag..

too big tags on back pocket..

and that was it..

I always use up as many leftover and odd cuts I can..

 So do come and join us HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll catch up soon..

PINK AND TEAL

 Hello everyone,

WOW, what a busy time in my part of the woods, kids, dogs, travel, chaos, flight details change, flight diverts, then they forgot someone !!! not me though.. I was at home doing the hard stuff, but it all worked out, the family had a wonderful 50th birthday down south, home now safe and sound and I'm back in my room and so happy...and have them all tonight for a 4 course dinner..

Today I'm sharing and pink  and teal card mainly to share the leftover bit which ended up in a DT project and showing that tomorrow, so thought I better get this posted so you can see where I was going or came from....confused?...me too..

so these are my papers, they are beautiful from Temu ( sorry )..

I made a card base and papered them up

 then out came a blast from the past, 

my Friskars border punch, my favourite..

I cut a few of them as the papers - panels were a little small 

and the the teal just bought an edge which looked better..

then on the inside a vellum envelope which is not glued together just 

glued inside the card with a panel inside that covers the glue..

added white lace on the edges 

and on the front with a gold sentiment..

an oval to write on..

wide open

and a tag with a doily on it..

then added butterflies inside the envelope..

and back to the beginning..

And now sharing this..it was a sheet of card that when I was doing another project and stamping all over the place I ended up with over stamping and test stamping with many stamps..

Well, I couldn't throw it away..so come back tomorrow and I'll show you what I did..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

See you tomorrow..

You guessed it, it is Wednesday and time for another challenge over at Little Red Wagon  and our lovely Kate is hostess with another Billy Joel themed style challenge...We Didn't Start the Fire, candles, or even History/timeline..whatever you want to make with a theme of fire...

I went with candles..

and I die cut a few layer to glued together 

to give the candles some dimension

added the dripping wax and using markers I coloured the wick..

then die cut Honey Bee Stamps pinecones and leaves

used plaid papers on my base and an oval inside for writing on..

dimension tape for some lift..

and started putting the card together..

No spatter

with spatter

 it does make a difference especially in real life..

so do come and join us with your fire projects

IN THE GARDEN

 Hello everyone,

I was thinking of something the other day and decided to go for it....a giant gate fold garden card

This was after I made that giant nautical card

and just wanted to do it again..

So, fold is done..8 inches high, 14 inches across.

papers..

such a beautiful pattern and colours

There she is all covered..front

and back..

now the fence

i didn't want to use the railing die for the fence, I wanted it to be a little bit

deeper so made my own..

Branches was a after thought..cut in brown then green then leaves

 were nipped off and glued onto the brown..

Daisies were a definite

and an idea for the centers, but no, looked silly and didn't work..

so die cutting began with these centers.

Yep, much better

another idea for the hearts but they needed severe painting or inking.

die cut loads of leaves from Altenew

glued the layers

nothing straight with my eye sight !!!1

but they passed

The hearts became the nails on the fence..

Then on went details and things...

metal handles with a tiny piece of Camillia branch holding it together..

Wide open..

cute little bird..

tiny white flower glued inp lace with Nuvo crystal drops for the centers..

and standing up..

So there you go..a giant tri fold garden card..fun.

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