Beautiful Butterfly Basics

Hi there,
This week I had a crafty friend come round one evening and we did manage to make a couple of cards in between all the chat about work and life in general. I loved our evening and we were both crafting simultaneously with different sets. She was using the pretty Painted Petals (another alliteration!) whilst I was using the Beautiful Butterfly Basics. I did two very slightly different ones? Can you spot the difference? Leave me a comment if you do!

 

I hope you like these, until next time, thanks for visiting.

A male card...

Hello there,

Wow another post in the same week I hear you say, I'm trying - I've come up with a time table, so trying to stick to it!

Here is a male card I made earlier in the month, they are quite hard to come up with but I must say this 'Guy Greetings' stamp set does helps as there a number of different combinations you can do with the stamps in the set!

 

There is a slight vintage feel to this card, with it's lighter shades of blue's and grey's. This card took just a few minutes to make, if you would like to make this card, email me for the complete list (head-over-heels-by-dlm@hotmail.com) or buy it ready from my etsy shop here .

Hope you like this card, any comments are welcome.

Thanks

Sweet Scrapbooking!

Hello dear reader,
Today I thought I would share with you a couple of Scrapbook pages we did at our last Scrapbook club. We meet every 3rd Tuesday of the month, our next being the 21st October at 7.30-9.30pm at Chelmer Village Hall.

The theme was loosely flowers, and we used the gorgeous Flowerpot designer series paper and my favourite combo of colours Pistacchio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral and Pool Party - I just love the subtleness of these colours.

 

 

I will come back and list some of the stamps we used, which were mainly Flower shop and some Project Life ones for journaling.

If you would like to join us for scrapbooking, I have 2 places left.

Until next time,

Sew it's Saturday...

Hello everyone,

I've been meaning to share with you this dress I made at the beginning of September. I bought the fabric after seeing finding a Ruby dress pattern in a magazine I get.

I loved the fabric but not sure you can make heads or tails of it in the pic, so here is a close of it!

It's from Plush Addict, love that shop! Drop by soon with some paper crafts next!

Until then, I hope you like this!

A 30th Birthday Card to share with you!

Hi there dear reader,
Hope you are well...first week is always hectic, not only because of the start of the school term but also because it's both my husband's and daughter's birthday on the same day! Now that is over, I'm back to creating a few Christmas projects as well as some hand sewn ones!

Today I share with you a quick card I made for a friend's 30th!I I'm hoping it would fall under the Vintage theme!

I've used a mixture of crisp cantaloupe, crumb cake and soft suede. The stamp set is Everything Eleanor, with the pennant punch for the lovely pennants which I embossed!  I fussy cut the flowers to give it that extra 3D effect. I hope you like it and I hope you come back in a few days for my sewing project!

 

Thanks for reading,

Colouring in for grown ups...

Hello everyone,

Hope you're all well. I'm sharing with you a lovely card which I've made for my Thursday's Butterflies & Bloom class (which I still have 2 places left!) It used the new blender pens, which is just like colouring in! I do love this flower!

 

I have used the Coastal Cabana and Daffodil Delight blender pens and the gorgeous Blended Bloom Stamp which has been inked in the Momento Jet Black as this stops the pens from running.

 

If you would like to make this card and more...come to my Butterflies & Bloom Card Class this Thursday 18th September!

 

 

Thanks for dropping by,

Sew it Saturday...

Hello readers,

Sew it Saturday was actually a day out admiring someone else's makes.

Off we went to see The Fluffy Cornershop in Bethnal Green. It was busier than I thought but full of delight.

We came away with a Drifter, mainly as this was my chocolate treat as a teen, that my nan used to send to me when I was in Malta. I used love my nans letters and parcels, and I would always have eaten one on my way from the post office to town. So this is going to remind me of that!

Here are some photos, unfortunately today was the last day and I'm not quite sure what is going to happen to any (if she indeed had any) left!

 

I do have more photos that I will share with you over the next week. My sewing project at the moment is a Ruby dress in some fantastic Fox farbric! More to follow soon.

Thanks for dropping by.

Christmas (dare I say it!) is round the corner!

Dear readers,

If you are still with me (after reading my title post!) I would just like to mention that it is just...

 

So I have been working  on a few Christmas cards for the last few weeks, to see which will feature in this year's Christmas Stamp-a-Stack!

Dates will be finalised and shared with you this week, so that you will be able to pencil them into your diary, get a baby /dog sitter, take evening off work, invite a friend...any of the above!

 

So I leave you with one of my favourites which will definitely be making it into the Stamp-a-Stack class!

 

 

 

Uhh, do you recognise anything new?

And Sew it's Saturday!

Hello once again,

(So far so good, 3rd post this week!!) 

As some of you may be aware if you follow my facebook page (if not and you would like to, just like my page https://www.facebook.com/headoverheelsbydlm ) I have started to sew a little too, a few dresses and a few presents too. Today I thought I'd share with you a present I made for one of Lily's little friends.

 

I had seen something similar online but I'm afraid I didn't use a pattern, but if you look for roll up pencil case you might find something to guide you.

 

Until next time,

Sorry it's been a very long while...

Hello everyone,
 I must apologise it's been a while since I updated this and the main reason is that I have used facebook more as uploading from my phone is just so much quicker but I promise ( with myh little finger) that I am going to update my blog at least twice a week, a third would be a bonus!

Gosh...there is so much to share with you, I actually need to see what photos I have on my laptop. I must also point out that I have been dabbling in other crafts, such as sewing, knitting and crocheting. Ohh actually last night I did a bit of pottery painting!

But today I will show you a set of cards I have made which I'm calling Butterflies and Bloom!

You too can make these...details are on the poster if you would like to join me, message me or drop me an email @  head-over-heels-by-dlm@hotmail.com

 

I will be showing you these individually in the next few weeks. Thank you for reading and it's good to be back - bare with me while I updated my page!

Thanks
