New downloads


We have had enquiries as to why the new download isn't available yet......well there are other bits and pieces to be added to it but my daughter has loads of commissions at the moment and hasn't got time to put the finishing touches to it.
Please accept out apologies and it will be finished as soon as possible.

New download

Here is my card using the papers from below.
I used the small patchwork and the small spotty papers... I used an A6 card and rounded the corners of the papers attached them to the card layering them. I used my cricut and cut out the shapes of the cream coloured card and a round white shape ( If you haven't got a cricut
square shapes will do ) stamp Wilbert (available from Willow Designs) onto the white shape and water colour him in. Cut out the small triangular tag and attach a brad and cut out 3 small flowers from the small blue flowered paper and attach to the card as shown....last but not least attach a small blue bow to the left hand corner of the card.
Happy Crafting.



Here are some of the papers for our new download......making a card with them is next on the agenda.

Wilbert and green patchwork daisies


I have been playing all day today using out patchwork daisy papers and Wilbert.
I used a plain green card for my first backing layer then the green patchwork frame paper for my next layer.....I cut out 2 daisies from the large patchwork daisy and a strip of small green flowers and placed them as shown on the card.
I used my cricut to cut the matting layers and coloured the scalloped layers with water colouring pencils.
I used the Wilbert and Wilbert sitting stamps from Willow Designs and coloured them also with water colouring pencils and placed them as shown on my card.

Cardmaking on a cold day

This is another card I have done today.....I have used my cricut for the matting layers.....stamps from Willow Designs and the paper from the Springtime cd.
We have a covering of snow here today and it is really cold so I haven't had my nose out of the door today.

This is one of the cards I have been working on to day..... the little mouse in the mug, the hedgehog and the butterfly are all decoupaged, I also used my cricut to do the matting layers......the papers are from Willow Designs scrapbooking papers, the stamps are all from Willow Designs.

New fabric

The brown fabric is also a polyester suiting is washable at 40 degrees and is also £15 a metre.
The leopard print is the same as below.
I have had my fill of natural fibres making me look creased and untidy so this time I am going for crease resistant, I only hope because they are good quality man made fabrics they will look as lovely as natural fibres when they are made up.
There are three fabrics here....the white is a ployester charmeuse satin is washable at 40 degrees, I got this at the wedding section, it is for lingerie and is £7 a metre.
The other two fabrics are fine silk organza in ivory and black, also from the wedding section.....I got this for interlining my trousers but these fabrics are dry clean only....I am hoping they will be alright on a cool wash. These fabrics are also £7 a metre.

The beige fabric is a matka style polyester suiting is washable at 40 degrees and I got this for half price at £7.50 a metre.
The leopard print is a ployester crepe, is washable a 40 degrees and is £10 a metre.

This is the first of the fabrics I bought......these fabrics are all man made fibres, but they are not cheap fabrics by any means......at the moment I have had my fill of pre shrinking this and that so this time all of my new fabrics go in the wash.
The plain grey is a polyester suiting and is washable at 40 degrees and is £15 a metre.
The small fan is polyester chiffon and is also washable at 40 degrees and is £8 a metre.
