TEA DANCE COLLECTION from CRAFTWORK CARDS

...the man who has no imagination has no wings...

-Muhammad Ali-

...hello everyone, I hope you've had wonderful weekend and are ready for the week ahead...
 

...today I'm sharing with you the NEW Tea Dance Collection from CraftWork Cards  designed by Steph Davies, below are a few piece's I have put together to from this gorgeous collection, I hope you like them...

...first up is the card...

...I don't know about you but when I have an up and coming birthday I like a theme to co-ordinate through the card, the wrapping or bag and the gift tag and I also like to add a fun element, like a pin wheel to put in the gift bag...

...I cut some thin paper strips and coiled them to look like streamers to dangle down from the pin wheel, kinda cute eh...

...I have put together a little gift tag book just to give you some idea's of how you can mix & match the die cut elements, bunting, flowers and message bands to pull together your whole birthday gift wrap package...

...phew I hear you cry, yep a lot of piccy's I know and what's amazing is I still have 27 out of 36 sheets of paper left in the pack as well as loads of die cut sheets...such amazing value for £15, which are available to buy from all major craft retailers, with a new collection every two months! how cool is that!...the paper pads and element packs are being sold seperately from CraftWork Cards on-line store...well I hope I have whetted your appetite somewhat as to what can be achieved from this super gorgeous Tea Dance Collection...

BIRTHDAY BEERMAT

...knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom...

-Aristotle-

...hello everyone,  if you are a regular visitor to my blog you may remember a recent guest DT posting for Calico Crafts were I altered 3 beer mats, below...

...well afterwards I thought what am I gonna do with these beauties, usually they end up in a box, but I had a friends birthday fast approaching and I thought I would make something from one of this trio, I hope you like...

I bought a plain white shadow box picture frame which I distressed and covered the back with some yummy Tim Holtz papers and voila a lovely prezzy and still 2 more left for future projects...

...it was difficult to get a good photo as everything was reflecting off the glass in the frame (it's times like this when I wish I had far greater photography skills) so only one piccy...

...I have a few days leave at the mo (much needed) and have been able to catch up on a few projects, one being a canvas for my Daughter for the nursery wall of my beautiful Granddaughter Emmie...

...well, the bank holiday weekend is almost upon us, I hope your all blessed with some sunshine, thank you so much for dropping by today...
