Afternoon Peeps, I'm not even going to mention the bank holiday weather, suffice to say I was more than a little pleased that I had a Tattered Lace delivery Saturday to get stuck into ready for next Tuesdays shows on Create and Craft.
I can't share yet, but as always there are some yummy new products and not just dies either, so in the meantime I have a couple of cards to share for the Snippets Playground..............I know Di, twice into the playgound in less than a week, can it last I wonder or will I fall off the swing, time will tell.
The card at the top uses a Nicecrane image, I so love these art deco ladies with their stylish dogs. The DP's are all scraps of G45 DP, I don't remember the name of the design set but I can never bring myself to part with the bits and pieces of any G45 and have an increasing mound of them. I made some roses using a TL spiral rose die along with some die cut leaves which I lightly inked whilst still in the die and looped ribbon - the inside loops from a summer top...........the ribbons been used but the top is still waiting for Summer !
My second card uses scraps which I think might be Kaiser DP's, I cut lots of hexagons using a Sizzix die and arranged them into a pattern across the card, I saw something along these lines on Pinterest once and thought it made a great card for the guys. Next I stamped a Penny Black sentiment and cut the banner shape with dies, tied some twine and fixed to the top. A really quick card to make, in fact cutting the hexagons is the most time consuming part but it's a great way to use up scraps.
Have a good week all.
Absolutely loving the chic vintage feminine design and the hexagons is just so perfect for a masculine design.

Hi Brenda
ReplyDeleteYes as usual the last Bank Holiday before Christmas is a complete wash out. I have spent the day with net flicks and my ironing!
Love the cards today. I am the same with G45 papers, I love how they smell too. The male card is a brilliant way of using the scraps you can't bear to throw away.
Take care
Lesley
Love your fabulous Art Deco card, like you I hoard bits of G45 papers and you have used them to great effect on here. The hexagon card is such a good idea too, fab fellow card

First card reminds me of my Grandma, she used to have hats like that, great image and love the flowers, can't do them myself, never stick on.
ReplyDeleteGreat snippets card, great idea for a male.

The first card is so elegant. Gorgeous image and your roses are fabulous. The second is great too, love the way you placed the hexagons, the colours are so vibrant and cheerful. It must be so nice to receive a box of goodies, like Christmas every couple of weeks. I am sure you will make some amazing samples with them. Michelle x
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards. Have fun with your new products.
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards, Brenda! I am hoping to make it to the playground at some point this week, but it is back to school tomorrow (Booooooo!) and I still need to take a photo of the card I made today whilst it rained
ReplyDeleteDue card stupende, Brenda, e un favoloso uso degli avanzi! I colori sono molto soft e la carta Graphic 45 che hai usato mi piace tantissimo!! La mia card preferita è la prima, con la ragazza art deco e il levriero! Le rose sono molto eleganti contornate dalle foglie e il nastro è così creativo!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are gorgeous Brenda, I love that elegant lady
ReplyDeleteKevin xx
Very beautiful cards! I really love the hexagons...it's wonderful what can be done with scraps. I am so jealous of your goody box. Hopefully one day I will get to be right there with you. Hope you're feeling better. Hugs, Robin
ReplyDeleteOh! So pretty and feminine!!! Fabulous art deco with beautiful image!! And the second one is so elegant and delightful, love them both!!!
ReplyDeleteA perfect pair of cards Brenda, what nicer than a very elegant lady taking her dog for a walk, and the man card is great :o)
ReplyDeleteJackie xx
Two gorgeous cards Brenda! LOVE the first one, like Kath I can never get my flowers to stick together properly - time for another try. Wonderful papers you used - I think I have one solitary pack (which I'll go and sniff after this!). Perfect hexagon card too - I struggle with cards suitable for chaps and this is a great design to keep in mind.
ReplyDeleteSuper to see you in the Playground again - and I did smile today about your little Poppy-dog. So funny that she keeps the labs under her thumb/paw :)
Hugs
Di xx
Fab cards Brenda.
ReplyDeleteLoving the hexagons.
Seems a shame to throw out scraps of yummy paper doesn't it so this is a good idea.
Weather pffffttttt I guess it's time to just forget this year and look forward to next Summer lol
Two amazing cards Brenda, love the Nicrane image used too, they are just gorgeous...

ReplyDeleteHappy crafting

They're both fab Brenda! I love any art deco and the ladies in their pretty dresses have always been a favourite for me, must dig my Kanban lady stamps out and ink them up for a change.
ReplyDeleteThe second one is perfect for the pests as they never want anything sparkly and mine is suspicious of ribbon at times, they do test us don't they lol! I don't see anything wrong with a little sparkle but the only time I'm allowed to add it is at Christmas! Don't talk about the weather, it feels like fall right now and I hate the dark nights Karen x
Goodness this week has flown by in a blur and I don't know how I missed this lovely post with these gorgeous cards in it. Love them both, the gorgeous art deco lady and scraps of G45 papers look great - thought I was the only one keeping G45 bits and bobs - and the hexagonal pattern for the male card works wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteLorraine
Two great cards, love the girly image with the G45 papers, so feminine, and the hexagons work perfectly for men.
