Calendar cards

Hi there friends, I have some calendar cards to share today. I made a set of four, just varying the colours and another set of two which were slightly different.

I used Rachel's  digi image 'Awesome Anenome' again, I just adore this image ;) You can find all of her digi images over at her Etsy shop RachelVassDesigns.

Back soon with more cards,......look after yourselves and stay safe with this horrid virus about just now.

At least we can keep busy in our craft rooms ;)

I printed my digi flowers (turning one around), added a digi watercolour shape and also  a calendar to the bottom of my card. I found an inspiring sentiment and printed that too. Once it was all printed out I used my Faber Castell pencils to colour the leaves and flowers.

I made a few more just altering the colours.

A couple more

This time I printed the flower larger, added just one month of the calendar, I deleted the 30 and added a small heart instead. Made the same way as the first cards. I coloured it using my pencils again on the flower and leaves. My friend Rosie has a birthday on the 30th Dec, hope she likes it ;)

This is for my elderly neighbour who has almost the same birthday as my friend ;)

The Flower Challenge #15 reminder

Hi there friends, I am back with more 'reminder' projects for 'The Flower Challenge'. Our challenge is

'Anything but a Card' this month. Here's what I came up with, see our blog for ideas what to make if you are stuck. Do check out what my talented teamies have come up with also ;)

I decided to make a wine tag, a carton to put some chocs in, a few napkin holders and an easel type calendar/post it note holder.

Pink bokeh type digital paper from Etsy (old one from stash)

White Linen card (printed on)

Pootles.co.uk (carton template)

Napkin holders template (from my Craft Artist programme)

Flowers 'Classic Poinsettia' die Creative Expressions by Sue Wilson

Wine tag template ( from my Craft Artist programme)

Neat & Tangled sentiment die

TH Distress inks (for flowers & sentiment background)

Clear gems from stash

 I printed the digi bokeh paper onto my white linen card. Then I used my templates to cut the wine

tag, the carton and the napkin holders. I made my carton and finished the napkin holders.

 I then cut my flowers and painted them using my Distress inks. I attached all the flowers and then added clear gems to the centres of the flowers. I added my sentiment to the wine tag and the mini pegs to my carton.

Post it notes

I made an easel card using white card and layered some pink card slightly smaller on top. Then I added my printed calendar onto a couple of pieces of white and pink card as a backing. A simple bull clip keeps it all together.

 I made all my flowers and leaves and coloured them all and stuck them to my centre panel. A few clear gems were attached to the centres too. I added a sprinkling of Diamond dust to my flowers for some sparkle. I made  and added a piece of card to hold my pen in place. I added some post it notes to the bottom of the easel card.
