Crafty Pad # 22 ~ Shine

Its Crafty Pad time again!

This week we are looking for you to

shine!

As in sunshine, shiny cards, metallic or glitter

You may use any stamp,
any embellishments/ribbons/brads etc. :)

If you use a Crafty Pad stamp your
name will be entered twice for the prize.:) :)

If you DO NOT use a Crafty Pad stamp

then your name will be entered once for the prize. :)

The prize is any single Crafty Pad you would like.

So this week all the Crafty Pad team
are all using the Butterfly set.

I have made a sun catcher.
Not the easiest thing to try to photograph though!

I started with felt flowers,
added orange sequins on both sides
to each petal & an orange button to the centre

Beads were knotted on along the fishing line,
I really must ask my dad, how to tie better knots
on fishing line so they look neater!

Using stayzon to stamp the large butterfly
onto acetate and coloured using glass markers.
I used stickels and liquid pearls


It ended up with a nice crackly effect against the sun

I hung a butterfly charm at the bottom
this helps add weight to the sun catcher
and helps it hang straighter.

I hope you come on over & see
what the lovely DT girls have made,
including Pascale who joins us as our guest DT.

Fancy joining in with us this week?
Have you seen Crafty Pad has a sale on too?

Saturday

Got a few cards done this evening
while DH watched eurovision.....
Don't know why I am admitting to that!

It is a multi challenge card!

One stop craft challenge are looking for

The next card started life off as this

But it was on really more squint
than I thought it was,
and I wasn't keen on all green card.

So I chopped it up a bit and
layered it on pink card.
Applied it to white base card

A few gems, and a sentiment.
Am much happier with it now.

I have had fun with new images
coming out from Crafty Muse
and will show you those makes soon.

Have a wee sneaky peek for tomorrow
Crafty Pad Challenge.

Do you know what it is.....?

Great Gingham !

This card is for a lassie at work,
for her Niece's 6th's Birthday.

I stamped the ribbon with a See D sentiment.
The balloon is a sizzex die.
The gorjuss Girl is one of a swap with Debbi
and I had a go at her "how to shade hair. "
Need to practice that a bit more.

I am entering her in
My Time to Craft who want Kids Kards.
Cute Card Thursday want Numbers & Letters.
I am not sure about the gingham backing paper.
It is a wee bit shiny for my liking.
It came in a pack with new
"how to book" I bought.

I used a wee bit inside

And on the back with some fake stitching.

hope you are all fine.
love Tina xx

oooh la la!

lace, glitter and double sided sticky sheet!

Thats what was used at card class to
make this beautiful glitter lace effect
on both cards, with a bodice template.

I didn't get this one finished....
too much laughing!
I still have the greeting that says
something French to be layered
and stuck on.
And I have two wee gems to add
to my suspender belts!!!
*blush*

Can I also had you have to be careful
where you apply the lace to so you don't
end up with big flowers over the bust area
or it looks a bit too rude!

Second card is a bit more classy!

Same lace as a template but on cream card
and made into a ball gown with gold & white
glitter to make the lacy panel.

Narrow cream ribbon for a sash or belt on the dress.

Now trying the living room window sill
for taking my photos as the summer sun
was pouring through there.
Not great but will do the job.


Talking about cheeky......

I know I haven't got that bit weeded.
or tied back the daffodil leaves
but.......Had to show you this!

*sigh*

Am on late shift today so best get myself
organised and ready for work!
Love teen xx

lovely lovely lovely!

Look what my Lovely mate Debbie
from Crafty Pad sent me in the post!
How beautiful is the layering effect of the butterflies!

I love this butterfly set!
I have never attempted decorating candles like this!
And how pretty is the butterfly against the pale candle?

This is just gorgous!
Thank you my lovely!

crafty pad # 21 All in the Shape!

This week at Crafty Pad

It's all in the 'Shape'..
and the shape we would like you to make your card
in is an Octagon. :)
You may use any stamp,
any embellishments/ribbons/brads etc. :)

If you use a Crafty Pad stamp your
name will be entered twice for the prize.:) :)

If you DO NOT use a Crafty Pad stamp
then your name will be entered once for the prize. :)

The prize this week is any single
crafty pad stamp of your choice. :) :)

Here is a simple octagon shape should you need it. :)

So here is my Faith in an Octagon.
I used some chalk inks then
burnished the background.
Stamped my fave flower from SeeD
all over with a darker chalk ink.
I used my crop o dile to make holes for ribbon.
Faith on the Cushion is coloured
using distressed inks.

Debbie had asked us to do this shaped card.
and I thought I like that shape...
lets make a smaller one
and add on my Fave Butterfly stamps...
OH you know they are my fave!!!

I gave this to Amanda on Saturday
on strict instructions not to
blog it till after Sunday!!!!

Again I used chalk inks and burnished it.
Used Crop o dile to make three holes.
I used curling ribbon as I wanted the curls
but wanted them to me quiet stiff too.

The wee green tag is sizzex die,
stamped with See D friendship poem.
It lifts out from behind the butterfly.
I used three different sizes of the
Butterfly stamps on the pages.

The last inside page is stamped with the
Butterfly verse from the stamp set.

I added some flowers punched out,
layered adding gems to the centres.
Finished it off with some peel off letters.
