January already

Good morning everyone - here we are at the start of another new year, so as this is my first post this year - Happy New Year!
I know it was a while ago but I thought I'd share some of my 'Lovely in Lace' makes from the last shows we did. It was lovely to join Keith and Sue to present and demo some of the Pick of the week.
What a gorgeous collection this was - I so enjoyed working with it. Here's a pic of myself and Martin in one of the shows

and here are some of my samples I did on the shows..this collection had such a beautiful soft colour palette.

This was a little scrapbook page I made by colouring in some of the flowers in red - I thought they were perfect for a poppy page.

I hope you've enjoyed a little look and keep your eyes peeled for a new collection coming soon!

 

Home Sweet Home

Hi all , today I am bring you one of my picture tutorials , I missed doing one in December unfortunately as I was so busy , but am back on track again now.

Today I am showing you how I made a Home Sweet Home hanging sign using the fabulous Bella Boutique collection.

  For this hanging sign , you need 3 MDF panels with holes in all 4 corners, card and elements from the Bella Boutique collection and some ribbon.

 Firstly draw round one of the MDF panels onto 3 coordinating pieces of card , carefully marking the holes in the corners. Cut out and punch out the holes.

Use a strong glue to secure the card onto the MDF.

 On the top panel I had used some card which had a row of houses along the bottom , I then cut 2 extra out , mounted on foam pads and adhered to 2 of the houses on the card to create a raised image.

 From the patchwork background card , I cut out the Home Sweet Home squares, mounted them on foam pads and adhered to the middle panel.

 On the bottom panel , I used some of the tree elements and also a larger house image.

 I then cut a length of coordinating ribbon , and threaded through the holes in the panels to hang them all together.

And here is the finished sign, an ideal gift for someone who has just moved.

I hoped you enjoyed my tutorial , another member of the Kanban team will be with you soon , and I will be here again in February with another tutorial for you.

Happy Crafting
