When is a Doodle not a Doodle?. . . . . . . .


Good morning everyone. Hope this finds you well.

I apologise in advance that this is a little photo heavy as I thought I'd show you how I used one of the Doodle Rose Wreath dies to make the above card and also, I made it to a local craft show so there's a snap of the goodies. Its also a bit waffle heavy, so you may want to fix a coffee first lol!!!

Now, you'll be relieved to know that this is the last of the Doodle Rose Wreath cards that I made for John's shows.
I wanted to do something completely different with the dies and I think this achieved that.


Ingredients
Bright white, sky blue and cobalt Foundations card
Doodle Rose Wreath - shaped centre die only
John Lockwood sentiment
Mei Flower navy ribbon
Pearlage


This is the die that I used from the set and how I got the cut outs for either side.


The pieces should just come apart but would just need a little snip otherwise. Then cut the flat edges to the width you want and turn them around and put them together as per above.

For the white layer, I just used the same die, matching the pattern to nip out pieces to continue the pattern (hope that makes sense).

And, you end up with a card that, I think, could be used for a male.


I woke up feeling well on Saturday so decided to go to the papercraft show at the Motorcycle Museum near Solihull. Sadly, Christine couldn't make it but Mr D came with me. I thought he would park himself in the coffee shop with his newspaper but he decided he wanted to go into the show (that's another £4 I could've spent on goodies lol!!!).

Here are my purchases . . . . .

Not excessive as its a small show, but some things were on my list so I'm glad I went.
Yes, I know there is yet another First Edition pad there but can anyone really have enough lol??? And yes, that is a CC A4 embossing folder for £3 and stamps for £2.50. . . . . Bargain!!!

As I was thinking of calling it a day, having done about an hour and a half, the fire alarm sounded and we all had to evacuate the building. As we stood outside, Mr D says "I knew there was a way I could get you out of that building" laughing. 
As I looked at him suspiciously, he profusely denied having anything to do with the fire alarm and said he was only joking.
I did then hear it had been set off in another part of the building. . . . .phew!!!
As punishment for the bad joke, I went back in for another 15 minutes lol!!!

I'm continuing with my mission to get the Christmas cards done. I've even bought a daylight bulb for the craft room so that I can work in there longer on dull days and evenings (Its at the front of the house, which is North facing . . . . . the price to pay for a South facing rear (not to mention my South heading rear lol!!!)

Glad to hear the leg is better Nancy and fingers crossed for the cataract. Maureen, I would have been mortified. I know Nesta and Davey keep their cards but I don't dare ask anyone else lol!

That's it for now folks (don't cheer quite so loudly eh lol!!!)
Hope that this week is kind to you all.

  9. A very striking card Ang. Love the work you did with that die, you wouldn't even recognize the shape without your process pics!! Glad to see you got a day out and had a breather from the stress and pain you've had lately. Looks like you got yourself some lovely goodies.

    Thank you so much for the friendly and ever so sweet e-push. I am thinking of taking a trip out to The Shire today, so wish me luck that I get further than the edge of the woods. sending hugs :)

  11. Hi Ang,
    what a brilliant card and such a very natty design.
    You are very clever at these.
    Love the wonderful colour choices too.
    So glad you were able to go to the craft sale.
    I would have taken ages in there not another 5 mins. lol.
    My DH put some LED bulbs in my ceiling flourecent tubes and they give off perfect bright light for crafting I also have a daylight bulb in my craft lamp and an ottlight for photographing.
    So I am so glad you can craft at all times like myself.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

  12. South facing rear!! (LOL) Great masculine card. Looks like a nice haul from the craft show. I craft in the basement of our home so I have to have good lighting (2 Ott lights) or I would go more blind than I already am! Have a great day.

  13. Hello Ang,
    Glad you've been able to get out and spend some money!!! Well I have to say that this Doodle is a Doddle ha ha. Brilliant idea and one for the boring males - oops, not that your card is boring!!! (Hole - digging deeper - come to mind). South facing eh, mine's East so I don't know what that says about me!!!
    I hope the upturn in health continues, keep taking the tablets.
    love Maureen xx

  16. How clever, Ang. A great card.
    My craft room faces north so I know what you mean about the light - a daylight lamp is essential.

    All the best
