Just when you think you're busy...it gets even busier!! lol, my schedule for the release was blown out of the water today by little guy - I don't know...is it me, or are boys twice as likely to take up your Sunday afternoon with a trip to the A&E or the ER?
I don't remember having to go as often with the girlies! Anyhow home now and touch wood, all ok.
It's played havoc with my plans tho! lol, so I have one card now and maybe more later, I also want to spend some time checking out all the entries for the competition HERE - there's just time if you're a tornado in the craft room!!!! Six free sets up for grabs!! I'm hoping to draw a winner tonight at midnight!! if I'm still awake!! lol.
Today's card features the snowflake stamp from the Sewing Box Christmas set releasing on Tuesday, see, i told you it would come quick!!!
also used a stitch border stamp from Off Beat Backgrounds (also releasing Tuesday, here on the blog!) to make a little faux stitch line behind the snowflakes, twisted it some on the block to get the curves.
I can't tell you how easy the technique for these snowflakes is, Stamp the image onto a pieces of fabric, Iron a piece of Bondaweb (wonder under in US?) to the back of the fabric, peel off the backing and iron the fabric to the card. It's the only sort of ironing i'm doing lately!!! lol.
Then snip it out with a wee pair of sharp scissors. easy peasy.
Anyhow, might be back later, definitely back tomorrow - still another set to preview!!! can you believe it???
Oh, now THIS is the kind of ironing I WILL do! In fact, our friends were just talking about this technique yesterday. Such a CAS card for the holidays and I think very cheery; love the non-traditional colors too! Can't wait to see the last set; I'm already in awe of the first 5!!!
ReplyDeleteHang in there with the wee ones, Claire, it will get easier!
Soooo clever! Love that you stamped on fabric and then used the fusing to attach to the card - CREATIVE GENIUS!! Can't wait to get my inky fingers on these puppies!!
ReplyDeleteI just love the colours you craft with Claire - here's another beautiful example. I've never thought to use bondaweb on cards but I'm looking forward to trying it out. Roll on Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your little man being in A&E, thank heavens he's okay & none the worse for wear.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, such a pretty card and a great way of crafting using something just a bit different. Fingers crossed for Tuesday...
I sympathise having spent my fair share of time in A&E over the years and with 3 girls and a boy I don't think boys have the monopoly. You know that question they ask you -"Have you been here before?" and you just want to cringe. Anyhow I hope your wee man is alright.
ReplyDeleteLove these snowflakes and the idea of using material - great way to use up some scraps that might be just a bit too small for a patchwork.
How fun! and glad to hear that your little guy(s) are ok....I have two boys myself, ages 12 and 8....we are always on some sort of adventure...some adventures I want and others that I'm just along for the ride. LOL!!! Love all your previews so far...thanks for sharing and many blessings!
ReplyDeleteOh...I DO love it that you used fabric on this card, and what a great technique that is! Such a wonderful card, Claire! I can't wait to see the whole set!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Love that stitched look, & the colours are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning Claire, thanks for sharing this technique, I'll have to give it a go. Hope little guy is ok, if he's anything like my eldest son they will get to know you in A&E by your first name by the time he's 16 lol. Donna x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic card, Claire! I love the fabric - boy that could be a dangerous addition to my paper crafting! Hope you're little one is ok. Tuesday will be here before we know it!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm already sold on this Christmas set! So cute! Hope all has quieted down now at your home. Bring on Tuesday! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI'm ok with using the iron for projects!! This is a really cute Card Claire! I can't wait for Tuesday! I hope your little guy if feeling better. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely!! I checked out your work and the stamps. Love them!!! I'll have to place an order and see what the exchange rate does for me :) I'll be moving to the UK early next year so shipping should be a tad bit cheaper and if I land a job the exchange rate won't feel so bad :P
