Moreheads

Hi all, below is the image of the card I taught at the Kilkenny Cardmaking Club last night. It is made using the Crafter's Companion 'Moreheads' CD and would be suitable for any occasion although we made it for a birthday last night. The backing for the greeting topper is spellbinders 'stately circles'. The ribbon is ribbon that I've had hanging around my craft shed for years but I think it suits the card perfectly.  Hope you like it!

 

Ruby Wedding Anniversary

This is a nice Anniversary card and could be adapted in many colour schemes. It would also make a nice Wedding card where the names of the Bride & Groom could be added to the heart centre.

The card is made using a martha stewart punch to punch out the right-hand border and some hearts that were cut out using the e-craft. The back hearts are edged in lace and then 3d up. The white heart is added flat before the flowers were added...and a hint of glitter on the flowers of course! The hearts on the right are embellished with individual pearls as is the left-hand side of the card to define the scallop.

Butterfly Bliss

Below is a card I designed for a Wednesday night class for the Kilkenny Card Club. Hope you like it!

The card is made using the Spellbinders grand circles and grand scalloped circles.  The sentiment stamp and border stamp is from the Sheena Douglas range and the butterfly is a Marianne creatables die-cut.

Workshop in Kilkenny on March 23rd

Hello to all,
I'm putting up this post today because I got a telling off at my class in 'Craftybride' in Kilkenny last Saturday when some of the ladies at the workshop gave out to me because I wasn't keeping my blog up to date with inspiration for them.  It's a compliment to hear people say that they keep an eye on my blog but not something I ever expected I suppose.  Hopefully the telling off is exactly what I needed to get me back on track with my blogging again, so here's some photo's of the cards we done on Saturday. Hope you like them.


This is a man's card can could be used as either a birthday card or also as a retirement card just to change the wording. The clock is from the Marianne die-cut range and the border is done using the tonic celtic border pattern.

This communion card is made using white and silver with just a splash of colour depending on whether it is a boy or a girl. The dies are from the crosses 2 range of spellbinders and the border is the Parisian accents spellbinders border. I think there is a lovely simplicity in the card and again could be adapted very easily to make a Christening, Wedding or Anniversary card.

This Wedding card is made using the go kreate arch die cuts.  The ivy embellishments are cut using the quickcutz long ivy border and the image is a lovely simple image, glittered on the veil to give it a nice elegant finish.

Kilkenny Card Club

Hi All, Below is the card that I thought at this weeks card club in Kilkenny.  Hope ye like it. It is made using a music sheet as the backing paper and the topper is from the 'Fred She Said' range. The Holly die is the new one from Marianne Creatables and needless to say the flowers are from Wild Orchid.

Kilkenny Workshop - October 13th

Hello there, I told you I'd talk soon so here's a peek for those who couldn't make it at the cards from the workshop I gave in Kilkenny this morning.  The workshop took place at Craftybride in the Kilkenny Retail Outlet Centre and a huge number of people turned out for it so thanks to everyone who came along.  I hope you enjoyed the class and more importantly liked the cards!

This card is made using a Craft Creations Decoupage image called 'shepherd in a manger'.
The beautiful ribbon is from May Arts and is available at Craftybride in Kilkenny. 

This card is made using a topper from the new Cupcake Crafting CD 'Magical Chritmas Moments'.
There are a beautiful selection of images on this cd and it is well worth the purchase.
The flourish is a cherylynn corner flourish, cut and adapted to go straight instead of on the corner.

This card is made using a 6" scalloped card and a digi image called 'Winter Emma & the Chickadee' from Fred she said.  Fred she said carry a fabulous range of beautifully coloured images and are all available to buy on-line.

I'm Back!!

Hello to everyone and sorry that its been such a long time since I've posted. It's not that I haven't been crafting its just that since becoming Federation President for Kilkenny I.C.A. back in May, I have been very busy and am on the road a lot, so when I make cards they are generally last minute and are shipped off to the customers before I even think about blogging them.  I will make an effort to keep it up to date again now that I've found the time to log on as I know myself that it is always lovely to see what people are up to and what the trends of the moment are.
Talk Soon, Shirley
