Some Dolls House Miniatures

2009-09-26T20:37:00.007+01:00

I have two dolls houses, one is a 1940s house and the other is a Christmas Shop.
The ground floor of the Christmas Shop is like an indoor market, with a area for the butcher, the florist and the bakers as well as the fruit and veg area.

I made this market stall with my own fair hands, which is something that I am rather proud of, being as I never seem to have much luck sawing a piece of wood straight, no matter how hard I try. So I consider this a great achievement.
I also made the vegetable boxes. I wanted them to look as they would have done in a market in the 50s,60s or 70s before plastic trays were used.
I made the fruit and vegetables using Fimo.
My favourite has got to be the little basket of mushrooms.

I made this card for my Aunty who was 91 years old this week (but don't tell her I told you!)
The image is from The diary of an Edwardian Lady.
It is a really pretty image and works well with the lace.

Just following the recipe !!!!

My entry for a challenge over on the Crafts Beautiful forum.

The Recipe for the card is as follows -

3 Buttons
2 Gem Stones or Pearls
1 or 2 Ribbons
1 Card (any colour)
1 Stamped or Drawn/Painted Flower Image
1 Backing Paper (optional)
1 Piece of Mirri Board (optional)
Free use of glitters, paints, pencils etc.

I have used a Papermania Signature Poppy Stamp and Flower Soft backing paper.
I stamped the image straight onto the backing paper and coloured using blendable pencils, and mounted it onto gold mirri board, which was then mounted onto a deckle edged card.
I added the two gems to the top left hand corner.
The buttons were lilac coloured with a shank on the back of them. I cut the shank off and coloured them black using peel off marker pens.
I attached a piece of ribbon to the back of one of the buttons and stuck the other two flat onto the card using transparent dots.

25th Wedding Anniversary Decoupage Card

This card was made for my friends 25th Wedding Anniversary.
Because this decoupage has lots of layers it looks good as you really see the 3d effect.

More La Pashe decoupage 'Remember When' Christmas

With all of the Remember When decoupage you can choose where to place the figures, whether to add them all or to leave some of them off!

La Pashe, 'Remember When'

All of the Remember When series are available in both sepia and colour.
I like both but think that the sepia has the edge!

I was asked to make a Wedding Anniversary card for a motorbike fanatic.
I wanted to keep it quite simple!

Both these fairy decoupage sheets where given to me by Rachel.
The lilac fairy card has a lace back ground which has been printed onto parchment paper.
The Christmas fairy has been mounted onto a CD.

Thank you Rachel I couldn't have made them without you!!!

I think that La Pashe have to be one of my favourites at the moment and I just love their 'Flippin' Christmas' animals collection.

The first picture is of the inside left of the card.

The second picture is of the inside right of the card (the white paper is only behind it for photographic purposes!) as you can see the decoupage is back and front!

The third picture is of the front

Here are just some of the cards I have created already -

Parchment Craft

Some of my Parchment cards -

I really enjoy Parchment Craft but it takes a lot of time and patience, and unfortunately I don't seem to have enough time at the moment to pursue this!

I love this watering can!

2009-08-30T12:28:00.002+01:00

I made this cute little watering can for no reason, other than I liked the template, so had to have a go!

2009-08-30T12:11:00.002+01:00

This is the first Tilly Cake that I ever made and did it just for practice.

It was later sold, so my practice piece must have worked!!

This card was made for a friend for her sister's 50th Birthday.

I cut the numbers on my Craft Robo using Papermania Signature, Blueberry Hill papers which are beautiful.

Added some lace, ribbon and bows and decorated the numbers with silk and paper flowers.

This is a card I was asked to make for a friends daughter who obviously was 18.

It's a very simple card but I think it turned out well!

2009-08-29T20:50:00.001+01:00

This card was made for our new neighbours.
The image is a Tina Wenke Stamp called 'Mouse In A Nutboat'
I fell in love with the image as soon as I saw it!
The backing papers are Forever Friends. After stamping the image I used water colour pencils to colour it and cut it using my large scalloped circle nestabilities. I added gorgeous lace and ribbon which I bought from a lovely little haberdashery shop in Wales.
I finished the card off with a peel off sentiment and a cute little ladybird to compliment the ladybirds in the image.
I am very pleased with the result!
