Home Sweet Home Banner

Here is the latest project which I set for the Marton Library craft group. It is four decorated mount board houseswhich I drew free hand. Each one is decorated with DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies stack, sequins and ribbons. There is a concertina flower on each and the letters are stamped with Papermania - Alphamania stamps. The roof has been finished off with a punched flower and I have added a fringe on the bottom. Each house has been threaded on to some craft wire and net and wool bows added.

Bouquet Card

I bought this fab new punch that punches fancy ovals, circles, squares, corners all sorts so I thought I'd put it to good use and try the oval first which I have used in the background of this card. On the front I have stuck on some paper roses,punched flowers, sequins and beads and finished off with a ribbon. I think it looks quite sweet.

Butterfly card

Well I bought a lovely little butterfly punch so I thought I'd put it to good use. The silver butterflies are just from a bag of table confetti

Birdcage Card

For this card I cut a cardboard birdcage amd covered it in gold embossing powder and stuck it on to the patterned paper with foam pads. I have downloaded a template of the birdcage I drew. The bird I drew freehand but there are plenty of birds you can get off google images if you put in clipart bird to help you get the right shape. At the base of the birdcage I usd a flowery border punch to cut out a design on a strip of patterned paper and then mounted that on to gold card and glued it to the base of the birdcage. There is a punched flower and a paper rose at the top to finish it off.

Double Easel card

These cards look so effective and are really easy to make. I will get round to down loading the template eventually. I used Craft Individuals papers and images on this one.
