Something Blue

2008-12-12T08:02:00.001-08:00

This weeks challenge over at the OneStopCraftChallenge blog is 'Something Blue'. Having recently done all cards I decided I fancied a change and so have made a door hanger.

The door hanger is made using a sheet of mdf which has been cut to shape and then painted using 'Surf'. Whilst the paint was drying I took some beads and clear elastic cord and made a long charm which i then tied around the hanger and hid the remainder cord under some blue and white dotted ribbon.

I then used patterned paper (polka dot), corregated card in pearlescent cream. I typed up the wording on the laptop and printed them out, cutting them out with fancy scissors to give a decorative edge.

Other decoration includes a button, sequins, flowers and jewels.

I hope you like it. xx

Pretty Petals

Hey Guys,

Hope everyone is well?

This is my entry in to the next One Stop Craft Challenge. This weeks challenge is Pretty Petals. I took a bright pink card and cut it in a slant, I then cut a piece of black paper with pink polka dots and glued that on the inside making the card look square. I then took a piece of flocked paper and cut into a small rectangle which I mounted the stamp of Thank you on to. After that I created a butterfly using some papers, stamps, wire, beads, and corrugated card. Along the edge of the slant I glued some fancy purple trim which contrasts nicely with the card, I then attached the butterfly and also made a small flower out of corregated card and a brad for the top corner. If you look closely you will see that the butterfly's wings also have flowers inside. Hence the Pretty Petals :D

I hope you like the card I made, I was looking back at some posts I made on a forum the other day and I made my first ever card on the 30th September 2008! So hopefully you will think I have improved a lot :D:D

Cards, Challenges and Christmas

2008-11-04T04:24:00.000-08:00

Well I made a few more cards last night which I will upload for you to see and then I decided to have a mooch around the internet and I remembered a site my friend had recommended. They have a challenge running each week, this week's challenge is Wings, so I entered my little ice skating penguin. :) If you are interested then take a look CHALLENGE. Good luck to everybody who has entered.

The first one the picture quality isn't brilliant I may try and take another picture later on, I am really happy with it though as it is the first time I have used beads and metallic thread like I have.

Love Ikkle x

An Introduction

2008-10-22T15:17:00.000-07:00

Well hello :waves:

Welcome to my little blogging corner. My name is Ikkle and I decided to set up this blog as somewhere to showcase my idea's and crafts. Crafting is a new hobby for me but I really enjoy it and am often found sat pottering away glueing and sticking.

My crafting so far has seen me make sock monkeys, door hangers, numerous cards, lightbulb christmas decorations, tin can decorations, bath bombs, bath salts, flannel muffins etc etc. I am definitely a busy bee.

I shall add pictures and posts as I go along, if you would like to suggest a make for me then please get in touch.

Keep on crafting

Ikkle. xx
