Arianna quick make card

Afternoon all:)
 
Wow! Where do I start.....Yesterday was a world wind of enjoyment:)  Very hectic, but I really enjoyed myself.  All the presenters were lovely and all had there own ways of doing the show. I am so pleased that you all loved the collection and I really appreciate all of the emails although I do understand that there were a few technical hiccups with them. So nice to hear emails from a lot of my regular bloggers too:) I really feel like we have all become one big crafting family....thank you:) x
 

Journey Album Update

Just a quick update: I finally managed to finish the recording of the tutorial this morning and providing everything is ok with the editing side this should be ready by about Tuesday so I will be adding a link to the details and paypal button I am thinking Wednesday.  Sorry for the delay.  I will then be working on the next one....which collection would you all like me touse for the next kit and also would you a card or album? I would love your feed back on this:)
 
Ok! Now I must share my card with you before my grandson gets here!
 
 
  • This is one of the demos from my last show. However I decided to do it a little different than the one here.
  • This is a quick make card using one of the decorative panels from the paper collection as the focal image and matting onto a card base which I have adhered some pale green card to. As the panel already has some decorative borders around it you don't have to do any matting and layering.  This is what I love about Heartfelt creations papers...they are perfect for those days when you want to make a card, but just don't have time to colour and stamp!
  • I have used just used a few of the Arianna flowers and positioned them over the flowers which are around the birdhouse.
  • I have added lace and a border which I made with a Martha Stewart punch along with a strip of the tiny flower border from the papers. To finish the borders off I have  added some Hobby House flower pearls on string.
  • I have cut a sentiment from the papers and added this with an organza bow with a pearl button in the centre.
  • To finish I have added some pearls and some Stickles glitter!  This is the only problem when I am doing my demo's on live tv as I really like adding these finishing touches to my cards and I just don't get the air time to do this, but I hope by showing you the finished sample of the card that I am going to be demo'ing first with all the finishing touches gives you more idea on how you to can bling a card up! Not that all my cards are as blingy, but a few pearls here and there and a little glitter I do think adds that extra wow factor:)
 
Again I can't thank you all enough for your comments and support X
 
Take care everyone and I hope you all have an enjoyable weekend....I plan on having a rest day tomorrow (well catching up on house work) and of course I am looking forward to my mini pocket album class on Sunday down in Gravesend:)....it is going to be a great day!!!

  7. Evening Nikki, I have just finished watching you demo this card on my last show recording, it is fabulous.
    I enjoyed all of your shows, your samples and demo's are stunning, as always. I especially loved your demo's of the various flowers you made, each one looking different depending on the shaping, I especially loved the stamens and what you did with them, the flowers really benefited from adding them.
    I would love to have been able to afford this whole collection, it's absolutely gorgeous.
    Enjoy your time in Gravesend.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

  16. Good Morning Nikki

    Congratulations on your shows I still have a couple to watch but I loved this card when you demoed it very pretty and clever use of what could be odds and end for embellishments. I have a box that I keep odds and ends in and then when I want inspirations I have a rummage through gather like things together and then find a paper to go with them it works for me anyway.

    Have a good weekend

  19. Hi nikki, loved the shows and all the samples. Can't wait for my collection to get here. Would love an album kit using the once upon a time collection, this is my favourite one and am having to order another paper pad as am nearly at the end of mine lol! I saw your first album on those shows and have already made the cuckoo clock which everybody loves. Many thanks for sharing your inspiration
    Love michele, bedford
