Colour Pops

Hello everyone...and happy Friday!

Hope you've all had a fabulous week and you're surviving the heatwave! Today, I wanted to share something that I was asked to create for Craftwork Cards the other week, to showcase their new Colour Pops range of Candi that were launched at CHA this week. You can read more about the latest varieties and all the yummy colours, here!!

As always, there's lots of pics to show all the detail and I really hope you like it!

I decided to make a wallhanging for the first piece and I think this would be perfect for a wedding gift and those colours of Candi are just delicious!!

As you can see I've used the Candi to make centres of my flowers and to add decoration around the cluster of blooms. 

So, that's it from me for today...I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and stay cool!

See you all again next week and bye for now!

Flying Visit...

Hello everyone and happy bank holiday weekend! I hope you're all having a fabulous time and that the sun is shining for you!!

It's a flying visit from me today, just to say hello and to share the first of two cards that I made last month, for a Clarity Stamp show that Barbara Gray was doing in Germany. As always, I really hope you like it...

 

The background to the stamped image is created using Distress Inks in two of my favourite colours and I then stamped the fern leaves around the edges. I stamped the main image in black and added the German verse underneath. The organza ribbon is from Craftwork Cards and I just LOVE that colour, it's so unusual and perfect match for those DI's!!

The finishing touch is a little metal coin that I had in my stash from when I first started crafting.

Okey dokey, well I said it was a flying visit and I'm now off to put on my Wonder Woman outfit, spin round a few times and see if I can finally finish this marathon of craft that has kept me out of trouble for the last week!! So, as I leave you with that vision...lol, I just want to say thank you for visiting today and I can't wait to read all your comments!

Happy Sunday everyone and see you tomorrow with the second of my German cards for Clarity Stamp!

Bye for now...love Emma xxx

Surprise!!!

Hi everyone, and a big hello to all my new followers!! Welcome to my crazy life....

Eek, where has this week gone? I think I'm so busy trying to catch up with everything after Christmas and New Year, that time has disappeared on me again!! As for that new year resolution and trying to find some "me~time"...that went through the window straightaway!!

Anyway, I'm just dropping by to show you all another of the magazine projects that I made for Making Cards Magazine, last year. Some of you probably saw it on the cover and if you want a back copy of the issue for full instructions of how to make these cards, then click HERE!

In the meantime, here are the cards in all their glory...as always, I hope you like them!

Set of two pop out surprise boxes.

I used 12" x 12" Echo Park double sided papers to create the folded shadow box.

The shadow box open ~ I used the Sizzix/Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers Die to create my word LOVE

...and the second card features the Sizzix/Tim Holtz WISH Movers and Shapers Die

The decorative band to hold the WISH box together

The decorative band to hold the LOVE box together, featuring the Tim Holtz Rosette Strip Die from Sizzix

 

The papers were from Echo Park.

So, I hope you're inspired by today's post and I'll look forward to hearing all your comments, letting me know what you think!

Okey dokey, Diet Coke break is officially over and no attractive man has appeared out of nowhere, so...time for me to get back to the craft room and start work again!!

See you all soon with another little creation from the House of Chez Williams!!

Bye for now...Love Emma xxx

Hovering Around....

Hello everyone!

Hope you've all had a lovely day, so far. A quick hello...goodbye from me today as I'm feeling a little under the weather! I'm suffering from severe neck and wrist pain and so, I'm having an easy day...well, trying anyway, because for those who know me well, they know that "trying" is a word that doesn't feature in my vocabulary ~ lol to often!!

As promised, today is my second day of Clarity shares ~ I hope you like it!!

To make this card, there were three separate stamps ~ a small single flower, larger single flower and the hummingbird and I built up all my flowers using the masking technique to create the cluster to which the little birdie has been drawn to. I used DI's to create the sky and then matted it onto a Martha Stewart punched background.

Thank you for dropping by to take a look at my little creation and I'll be back tomorrow with another Clarity share but until then, stay warm and have a lovely evening and just before I go, just wanted to let you all know that Julie Hickey will be on QVC with some fabulous new Craftwork Cards kits, tomorrow...Wednesday 7th November at 2pm ~ so, make sure you put it in your diaries and make a date to watch!!

See you soon and bye for now!
