Flower Power...

Hi ya, long time no write....

Here's a quick card made today for a lady looking for a simple idea to teach at her day care centre...

The brief from her was that it had to be easy for those with dexterity problems yet effective. Also using very little product to create to keep cost's to a minimum as they have next to no funding...

She also needed it to be versatile in as much could be any colour or pattern so she could use up odds and ends of card and paper she had in the store cupboard...

 

I hope you'll agree that this simple design is both cute and flexible, took me about 5 mins. to come up with the idea and 20 mins. to complete this first one, including the stamping of the image (Bee Crafty WORDage) which could be changed to suit the recipient...

Most of you that know me know I'm rubbish at the photo's - the red square is actually mounted onto an ivory square card but it just doesn't show up (I'll try and get Bev to do a new one)...

I will be doing a tutorial on this lovely card for anyone wishing to reproduce it, but in the meanwhile if you would like it feel free to email me julie@beecrafty.net and I will forward you full instructions...

Take care, have a good evening and I'll catch up with you soon...Julie Xxx

We're off to see the...

... Wizard!

Well what else could these guys be going to see???

I have been having lots of fun with the Wizard of Oz Stamps available from Bee Crafty

I took part of an old book (approx 100 pages) and went straight for the centre folding and tucking to create these cute little loops.  You can also see here that I have made some of my favourite paper roses from another sheet of the book.

Side view...

I stamped all of my images onto cream cardstock - not all the same as I didn't want it to all just blend in but wanted to keep the natural tones that the old book already had.  Carefully cut them out and inked the edges with a Distress inkpad.  All of the images are mounted onto sticks so that they easily slotted into the spaces between the curves.

All finished off with a lovely big Satin Ribbon bow, I love how this tones in with the rest of the book

Many thanks for reading hope you enjoyed as much as I did making it.  This is also available as a workshop please get in touch with us at Bee Crafty for details.

Thanks
