Mixed Craft Saturday Featuring Michele's Magazine Review

Good Saturday Morning Ladies,

It looks like we are all in for another soaking, one of the headlines on Google was 'One Month's Rain to fall in 30 Hours', I think it is mostly in the North of the Country, I guess we will have to wait and see!  I hope that you all manage to stay safe and dry.  We had really strong, blustery winds all day yesterday, I was mesmerized by the amount of falling leaves, it was like the most colourful rain storm!  I am easily pleased (and distracted)!

First up today is a Gift Box for the Diamond Easel card that I made for a swap the other day, I got a bit carried away with those dimensional flowers and there is no way I could fit that card in an envelope! So I created this box to match the card, using the same Paper Boutique Butterfly papers, I made all of the flowers with the Flower shaping Mold.

My Swap From Elaine Parker

I was lucky enough to receive a lovely parcel in the post on Thursday, inside I found all of the above amazing craft projects.

It was all beautifully hand crafted by a lovely lady called Elaine Parker, she is my Swap Partner over on our Facebook group, the Swap was for a Fun Fold Card, which is the first photo in this group,

Elaine has also made a beautiful Wallet with some beautiful Gift Tags inside, this was placed inside a matching Pouch (2nd Photo).

The Wallet with the Tags in was held together with a lovely Belly Band that had a matching Topper on the front, the papers that Elaine has used are absolutely gorgeous.

There were also 3 adorable Decoupaged Christmas Tags in the parcel, I was absolutely blown away with my lovely swap package. xxx

Lynda's Family Holiday Photos

Lynda has been kind enough to share some of her lovely family holiday photos, it looked like you all had an amazing time, I bet Harry loved having everyone's attention.  Nice for you to have both of your Grandsons with you for the holiday as well as Darren, Sam, Lisa and her hubby.  I am sure that you made some incredible memories to treasure.

Thank you so much for sharing Lynda XXX

Michele's Magazine Review

Hi Ladies

Diecutting Essentials has a really lovely set of Dies free this month & it’s not just for Christmas.

.


The photo below shows a couple of ideas using the free gift.

This article shows lots of ideas.

The article below has done great inspiration using the free gift.

Part two!

The feature on Rocker cards looks great & these cards would definitely stand out.

This feature on Bendy cards looks interesting & the cards look quite amazing.

That’s all for this week,
Happy Crafting.

Love Michele

Michele I think I might have to subscribe to this magazine, the features you show for this magazine each month really appeal to me, I know that Sue bought the last one too.  I wonder if there are any subscription  offers going on?  There are so many great features too, 'On The Edge' , 'Rocker' & 'Bendy' card techniques, most magazine have one.

I know it is a little more expensive than some other magazine but you do seem to get a lot for your money.

Thank you so much for a fantastic review my lovely, enjoy the rest of your weekend XXX

Can You Help Michele??

Michele is thinking about buying this die, she is asking if any of you have purchased it, if so what did you think, does it cut well?

Thanks in advance xxx

Thank you to everyone that took part in today's Blog, I hope that you all have a lovely weekend,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
