Circular Gerberas. . . . . . . . .

Good morning campers......Hi De Hi !!!

Hope you are all well and had a nice weekend, especially those of you lucky enough to still have your Dad's with you.

Sadly, my Dad isn't so it was a trip to the cemetery yesterday. We decided to renew the edging around the grave and refresh the top with new decorative stone. It was busy up there due to Father's Day so you can imagine the odd looks we got as we got out of the car with a spade and black bags.Thankfully as it was a bit warmer, we didn't take the balaclavas.

Kate said it was probably reminiscent of Burke and Hare but I didn't know who they were lol!!! 

Now, back to the card. This is another of the samples I made for John's last shows. Thank you for your kind comments on the samples and my "guest appearance" lol!!!

I don't do many shaped cards but this was the first card that I made with this die.

Ingredients

Cream card and various shades of pink and purple card

JND Gerbera Pop Out Circles dies

JND Sentiment die

CE Aztec Flowers embossing folder

Teeny gems

This is how I got the gradation of colour behind the pop outs.

I then cut the centre out too and glued it behind the pop ups.

Something different anyhoo.

Myra and Littlelamb, it is wonderful to make lifelong friends through crafting but sadly you have also been affected by Maureen's stalking tendencies. 

June F, that wasn't Molly yawning. She was laughing in a sinister, almost maniacal way.

Molly doesn't do catnip but Lily got quite excited by the idea.............

Finally, Wendywoo, I wasn't at the studio, just at home on the phone. I don't think they dare risk my appearance on camera in case everyone switches over to Create and Craft lol!!!

Have a great week folks.

Raspberry Gerberas. . . . . . . . .

Good morning chaps and chapesses. Hope all is good with you.

Been catching up with some jobs the last couple of days and finishing up some samples for John's shows for last night and today with his fab new dies.

We had lunch and a catch up on his way to Hochanda yesterday, which was lovely.

And yes, that was me on John's first show last night. The things I get asked to do lol!!! I was in the kitchen chatting on the phone whilst Mr D was watching the TV and he thought it highly amusing that it came up on the screen "Mrs Duck on the phone" lol!!!

Now, this is one of the cards that John demoed as I think he was happy that I came up with something different to do with the circle. He didn't do it quite how I had but he was close enough.

Ingredients

Cream, black and raspberry card

JND Gerbera Pop Out Circle dies

JND Large Butterflies die

Leane Creatief Border Branch embossing folder (on my website)

JND sentiment

Black bling

I wanted something extra across the middle which is why I used the embossing folder. Its a handy size for going across the centre and doesn't leave a mark where the edges are.

Hope that you enjoyed the shows last night and hope you will enjoy the shows today.

Wendy, trust me, my social life is anything but grand. Last week was like buses.......nothing for ages then a few come along at once lol!!!

June F, The Minxes are not falling for your niceties. In fact, this was Molly's response when I said that WART were still hoping to penetrate their defences with Maureen's bloomers.........

As you will see Myra and June S, not quite so docile or angelic lol!!!

Karen, Davey is a lucky chap. I was supposed to go to Borneo and Sepilock with Nesta and her ex in 1999 but I had to cancel my holiday (Nesta still went) and so its still on my list of places to see.

Well that's me for now except to say Happy Birthday to two of my lovely friends, Kate and Joy whose birthdays were on Tuesday.

Be good folks.
