Best Wishes

Hello and welcome back!

This week I wanted to share with you an easel card that I have made.

I started off making a regular easel card out of card stock. I then used the French Flair - Scalloped XL-13 die with the French Flair - Classic L-12 die on top in the blue and lastly the French Flair - Classic - XL-12. I hope thats not too confusing!

Next I used the Spring Basket 1 and added the Darling Daisies. I thought the Darling Daisies were cute for this card as they reminded me of spring and the flowers weren't too big and they sat perfectly in the basket. I used one of the Exotic Butterflies small and finished off with a ribbon at the top of the basket. On the bottom of the card the rabbit from the Nesting Eggs was used as it was a wee bit smaller. I also used Cuties 2 as a border this time for the edge of the card.

Dies used:

French Flair - Scalloped XL-13

French Flair - Classic XL-12

French Flair - Classic L-12

Spring Basket 1 - DL214

Nesting Eggs - XM-18

Darling Daisies - A196

Exotic Butterflies - DL112
Cuties 2 - B150

Tag Me!

Celeste Glover 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello and welcome back!

I hope you had fun last week with the Easter Blog Hop and to continue with the Easter theme I have made some tags.

These tags are simple and really easy to make. First I chose some coloured card stock and cut out using the largest of the Nesting Eggs die. I chose patterned paper as I thought it was a bit more fun, then used the second largest of the Nesting Eggs die and popped it on top of the card stock. I decorated with ribbons and bling and used the rabbit from the Spring Basket 1 as he was a little bigger and fit perfectly on the tags.

Why not make some this Easter and give your family and friends a home made tag to go with their Easter goodies!

Dies used:

Spring Basket 1 - DL214

Nesting Eggs - XM18

Easter Eggs

Celeste Glover 3:30 AM 7 Comments

Hello and welcome back.

I finally received my Easter dies! Unfortunately I have been sick this last week and it was a bit of a rush to get my post ready. So please bare with me while I get thru this bout of sickness.

I thought I would make something different this week. I used some old packaging plastic in the shape of a cylinder and popped an egg into the middle. On the outside I tied a bow (that has little chicks on it) and then began to cut out and stick down my dies.

Firstly, for the large egg, I cut out the Spring Basket and used one of the Lace Egg dies in the centre. I then used the Bunny and Chick Border to run along the bottom of the cylinder. For the tag I used Nesting Eggs with the bunny from the Spring Basket and popped him in the middle.

For the smaller project, I used another plastic cylinder and filled it up with small Easter eggs. I then used the Lace Egg die again and cut four eggs out and placing them all around the cylinder. Topping off with a bow (this one had bunny faces on it!) I also made a tag. This was using the Nesting Eggs again and also the bunny that came with the set.

Dies used:

Lace Egg Two - DL208

Bunny and Chick Border - B171

Spring Basket 1- DL214

Nesting Eggs -XM18

I hope you like my projects and again, I am sorry that I only had a short time in which to bring you this post. Please look out for the weekly challenge, on again at the Cheery Lynn Designs blog.

Till next time Celeste

Pomander Balls

Celeste Glover 3:30 AM 11 Comments

Hello and welcome back.

Does this remind you of your Nanna?

A pomander, from French pomme d'ambre, i.e. apple of amber, is a ball made of perfumes, such as ambergris (whence the name), musk, or civet.^[1]The pomander was worn or carried in a vase, also known by the same name, as a protection against infection in times of pestilence.

For both of the balls I only used the smaller die of the Judy's Blooms set. I just wanted to show that you can create lovely items with very few dies. Until you can afford to splash out (wouldn't that be nice!), you can still do a lot of creating.

To make these pomanders, all you need is a styrofoam ball, a bit of ribbon or lace and some pearls or brads for the centres. I just cut multitudes of the small flowers from Judy's Blooms, placed one on top of another and glued them into place around the ball. I inked the edges and glimmer misted all the petals and then spritzed the whole lot with water and lavender essential oil, (for the purple one and water and rose essential oil for the pink one.).

Thanks for stoping by and if you haven't already checked out the latest challenge for Cheery Lynn Designs, head over to their blog and have a go!

Till next week, Celeste

Little Girl Banner

Celeste Glover 3:49 AM 10 Comments

Hello and welcome back.

This Wednesday I am showing you my banner. It was completed just before the weekend. I was very excited to be doing a banner, as I thought no one else had made one. Then to my surprise, Jeannie's creation came up. All I can say is, "Jeannie, great minds think alike" and I hope you like mine just as much as all the fantastic comments you gave Jeannie.

So here goes!

I started off with wooden off the page flowers from Kaiser and went about covering them with Sweet Nothings 6 1/2 paper pad also by Kaiser. Starting with the Dainty Dutch Deco Frame, I cut the middle out and used that for the middle of each flower. On top of the flower are bling alphabets with small wings just underneath. The edges of the flowers are covered in pearls. The flowers are made up of the Miniature Rose, the Cuties 2, the Darling Daisies and the Stacker Flower #1 Leaf. Finishing off with ribbon and binding them all together used pink links.

Dies used:

A196 Darling Daisies

B150 Cuties 2

B152 Miniature Rose

DL141 Dainty Dutch Deco Frame

SF-1 Stacker Flower #1 Leaf
