Baked with love

Happy Monday Dear Reader! I dislike Mondays cos i just get used to having my hubby home and spending time with him then he has to go back to work but unless we win the lottery that will continue, i best turn it into a positive…..i can craft in peace

The card that i am sharing today was made using my favourite stamp set

{stamp set and dies Lawn Fawn, watercolours}

This is using Lawn Fawn’s Baked with Love stamp set, this set has a cute stand mixer that looks just like my Kitchen Aid mixer that i love love so i had to have this set when i saw it on the CHA release earlier in the year.

I water coloured the images, i coloured the eggs blue as my favourite eggs to eat have blue shells and they always look so pretty in the ceramic egg box we have on the side.

That's it from me today

Until next time

Baked with love……

Hello Dear Reader, hope all is sunny and well your end; we have lovely bright sunshine today, you still need a coat but at least it is sunny :)
Today i am sharing with you a gift that i made for my lovely friend, who last week on her only day off stopped crafting, got out of her pj’s and went to IKEA for me as the raskog cart was on sale for £20 off but only in that store, which isn’t her nearest store but closer to her than me. As she loves me and is a wonderful friend she did this for me so i had to make her a thank you as she was coming up to see me on Tuesday with my shopping in tow.
Now my friend loves my shortbread but instead of making it and popping it in a placky box i wanted to do something pretty with it; So i prettied up a jar that i had originally brought to hold craft stuff, when me room was going to be full of vintage furniture {plan changed} so now i have no use of the jar instead of throwing it i thought i would use it.  These jars are meant to be used for foods stuffs so they have an air tight lid and when empty she could always use it to store more treats or craft bits.

{stamps Lawn Fawn, cardstock, punches,dies and watercolour crayons SU}

I coloured the images using a blend-a-pen and the long retired watercolour crayons that SU used to sell to give them a soft feeling. I made the tag using a punch that makes the tag top for you in blue and crumb punching each one with a different edging punch. I die cut the oval and embossed the card behind then tied it on the jar with twine and tidied it all up with a nice ribbon bow.
Because i had coloured extra images i made a quick card to pop in my box.

this took 2 minutes to put together from the scraps but i now have a back up birthday card, and i think together these would make a nice gift for someone for their birthday.

Thats all from me today, i hope that you liked my projects.
Until next time

Hedge-Hugs

Happy Friday Dear Reader! Its nearly the weekend and for me this weekend that means crop day i love going to crop i don’t always get much done but boy do i have fun!

So what do i have to share with you today?
A card or two made using the Hedge-Hugs stamp set from Lawn Fawn

{both cards were coloured with watercolours}

I coloured both of these cards with my trusty old faithful Newtons’ and sent them out to dear friends one to cheer up someone who had been feeling very poorly lately and the other to a friend who does such a lot for me and is such a great friend and i wanted her to know.

I love my Newton’s i have had them since i was taking my GCSE Art and used them throughout my A level Art also, but  i think it maybe time to get some new brushes as these are starting to look a little worse for wear.  I would recommend them to anyone who likes to watercolour beginner or otherwise there are enough colours and you can replace the pans with any colour you like; you can get bigger sets my daughter has a huge set with loads of colours in {I'm a bit jealous lol} but i have always found this set enough for me and i have only replaced the white once in the whole time i have owned them, as i like to make the paints opaque sometimes.

Well that’s it for today, i am going to get myself packed ready for tomorrow, have a great weekend what ever you are up to.
Until next time
