Last week we went and stayed at a friends shack while my husband recuperated from surgery, and this is the view I had while sitting and crafting!! It is the most beautiful view of the ocean, beach etc. Very relaxing and calming and the perfect situation to sit craft and relax.
I made a card that I had been meaning to do for quite some time, and was really pleased with the result, so will probably make it into a class kit. It is never to early to start Christmas!! This is a waterfall card that is a 'mechanical' card. When the ribbon to the right of the card is pulled the squares open up.
So as you pull the ribbon the second square is revealed and then the final square, as the pulling mechanism is extended I stamped Merry Christmas on it. This would be a good design if you wanted to add small passport photos to it as well. Infact mind is now working overtime and thinking Fathers Day card, tiny photos, New Dad, Pa, and Great Parpys first Fathers Day!!! Hmm... can see I had better start designing quickly.
Another card that I finally got around to doing is called a rocking card. You build the card on a half circle rocking section, so that it actually does rock slightly! I used foam squares to build the card up with but you could use silicone as it is just like a paper tole card. There is a lot of different designs in these series, plus in the kit you get several little tags with greetings on them and an envelope. I double sided taped these to the back of the rocking device which is where you could write your greeting.
It just goes to show that when you have the right relaxed environment and some spare time, you can create anything!
Well that is all for this blog. Thankyou for taking time to look at my latest creations. Feel free to leave a comment if you want, as I think I have finally fixed the problem and can now view the comments!! Have a great day.
