Branch CAS Note Cards

Hello,

These cards were CAS from my friend Rachel at A One of A Kind Design By Rachel.   I met Rachel at a local Joann Fabric over two years ago. We became friend instantly.  Rachel introduced me to embossing folders and since then  I had been adding embossing folders to my craft room. Thank you Rachel!

The zigzag ribbons were made by sewing the ribbon the zigzag way and pull it tight.

 See this post for how to color the embossing folder.

Thanks for looking!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Purple Just Believe Note Card

Hello,

I'm sharing two more cards I had made over last weekend.

I made the bottom one first.  It look o.k but I wanted a card to look more than just o.k so I thought I changed the center color and I like the green center better.

Thanks for stopping again.

Hot Pink Just Believe Note Card

Hello Blogger Friends!

I haven't make a single card in months so over the weekend with the snow and ice I didn't have to go to work so I sat down and made a few cards.  This is one of them.

The stamp image was from SU.  Love that image!

White card base was from Paper Trey Ink.  The gray was from SU called Sahara Sand. Water color paper from Waltmart for the stamp image.  Black card stock was from SU.

Round Pink Crochet Decorative Pillows

Hello Blogger Friends!

This will be my last two pieces of my 20 plus years old crochet items. They are also my favorite pieces. I made these when I was around 15 years old.  Yes, I had lots of patience even then.

This is the center pillow.  The flower in the center had 7 layers.  It is about 1"  tall and 3" wide.

 It is about 13" wide.

This is the bottom of the pillow.  I placed card stock in there hopping to show the design better and I think it did.

Thanks for looking.

String Art Altered Paper Mache Box

Hello,

I am so addicted to this string art.  I love to use it to altered boxes. Here is my latest altered paper mache box.

The corners flourish was from a template that I bought from scrap book convention two years ago.  I created the center template inspired from here.   

I love this Stampin' Up! Final Press embossing folder. I used it all the time.

Lots of Crochet Roses

Good Morning Blogger Friends!

Look at what I had been making!  I love crochet roses and I had been trying to look for the pattern that is easy and yet pretty.  And I found it! You can fine the tutorial  here. I am using size 10 crochet thread but the roses came out to different sizes because I used different size crochet needles.

I am working on the purple flowers now.

Crochet Heart Decorative Pillow

Hello,

Today I had another crochet projects that I made 20 plus years ago.  These are crochet heart decorative pillows.  I made two pairs.  I never used them.

This is the front.

 And this is how the back look.

Again, I don't have pattern for this. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Altered Wooden Circle Box

Hello,

I altered this wooden circle box a while ago.  I think because the two colors didn't go together I didn't really like the result.

The original lid didn't fit the box since I added two layers on the box so I made a new lid out of card stock.

Thanks for looking.

Quilling Jewelry Sets

Hello Bloggers!

I told you that I will be making more of these jewelry sets.  I really love how the pink and black turned out.  The same lady who ordered the black frame with white roses also ordered two sets of the jewelry.  She wanted one set in black and pink and another set in black and red.

But she took this purple and white set instead of the pink and black set.

You can fine the tutorial to make a similar rose here.

I painted at least 4 coats of mod podge on the flowers and the earrings  so a little water won't bother them.

If you are interested in purchasing the jewelry set, they are all available.  It is $15 per set and it is FREE shipping to US and CANADA.

Pink Crochet Vase Holder

Hello,

I made this 20 plus years ago. I made more than one.  I didn't know what happened to the rest. I didn't know what to call it so I called it a vase holder.

Now it is one of my daughter's toys.  Sorry I don't have the pattern and don't know how to read the pattern; therefore, I couldn't make a pattern for it.   I remember I had a picture of this and I counted stitch by stitch to make it.  I still do the counting when I crochet now a day.  I don't know how to read the crochet patterns so I would look for a good picture of the finished crochet item and crochet it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Quilling Teddy Bear Cards

Hello Bloggers!

I made this two cards back in November.  When I made baby cards, I normally made two of the same card, one for a baby girl and one for a baby boy.

Black and White Altered Frame

Happy New Year Blogger Friends!

I had a last minute order to make two black frames and white roses last week. 

  I really like the way it turned out so I'll be making more of these.  I covered the frame with Core Destination shimmery black card stock from local Joann Fabric.  Love this papers!  The flowers were made using water color papers from Walmart. I bought the pearl flourish from the Scrap book convention that I attended last year.
