Hi Everyone, I was looking through my photographs and realised I hadn't shown you what I did before Christmas I also found a more to show you I hadn't done so before.
This was a present and something I had wanted to do for a long time, after seeing an inspirational blog post from Janette here, she had said where to get the board from and I ordered it that day. I bought a pack of large Bull Clips and a few months later, I got to make it! Yep! a few months! by then I had forgotten where I had seen it and the inspiration of painting the board I had seen. Too late for me to make it more interesting, but I screwed the bull clip on, added a tie to hang it on then grabbed some black vinyl, I went to my die cutting machine, and cut the words. I then placed them onto the board, after making sure I added them under the note pads I had bought for it.
Something else I made before Christmas, as it was needed on the 5th January - my #3 brother's birthday card. I know I was up to my neck in things, with no mojo and a complete loss as what to do. I spent more time thinking about it than making this card. I wanted a quick card, but one that was special to him, luckily for me a freebie popped up in my mail and it was perfect for him. It also had a saying on it my SiL says to him when they go out, so it was meant to be. My Silhouette is becoming more handy to me than Photoshop surprisingly, after all these years. I took it into the die cutting machine and resized the card to 6 x 6 instead of the 8 x 8 it is supposed to be. I then cut all the layers out and layered them together adding them to the 6 x 6 card.
Another card not posted here and again a quick make for a birthday I had forgotten after my diary failure. It had to be made to go into the post that day. I used an image I used years ago, I added a wall background and a brick pavement then a die cut flower, in my mind a dandelion weed coming out of the pavement (sidewalk). Thank goodness for Photoshop! That's not what I said earlier though is it?
Three fantastic makes. I love the wooden board the black vinyl is amazing and looks so delicate I presume you cut it with the Silhouette. As for the two cards as always wonderful and I can always rely on you for fabulous fun filled clever cards and these are no exception.I'm always guaranteed a smile when I pass by your blog.

That 1st card is spot on for us. In summer months we substitute the watch for an Epipen. Hubs is allergic to bees 🐝. Anytime I leave the house, I have to have a water 💧 or two.

These are all totally brilliant. Vee xx

ReplyDeleteThe wooden board project is awesome, love it! Wonderful card for your brother! It’s a pat down thing for sure, lol! Hubby forgot to pat down yesterday for he forgot the key bob for the car. He had to use mine. And, your last card is so fun. I am lovin’ that plaid shirt! Great projects, well done!!
ReplyDeleteThree great projects Faith. Last day of our hols today so maybe I’ll get back to some crafting next week xx

This little cutting board with a clip and notes is perfect for someone who enjoys cooking! I love this little gift! The cards are both fun, and I too seem to always go over a checklist before we leave the house. I guess it comes with aging?! LOL NJ on everything and I love that plaid shirt and matching shoes too! What a hoot!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your catch up post Faith and what fabulous creativity x.

ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous makes Faith, from the cutting board to the cards! I am going to be doing a cutting board craft soon too and I just may have to CASE this idea from you! The "home pat down" card is hilarious and definitely meant to be! I don't know how you get these freebie's that pop into your email, but this was is so fun! I love that you are using your cutting machine more than Photoshop! Makes me feel like I'm not alone when I use mine. lol The last card is just to dang cute! Love the image and the fun clothing in this cute guy. The side walk looks amazing too! So happy you found these and shared them with us, they are just fabulous!!!! Hugs, Brenda
