Travel theme Wedding Package

This is the Wedding package I had been asked to make for July this year. The Bride works for Virgin Air and loves sunflowers so this was my brief. (Travel) I had so much fun making these invitaions etc. and even found vintage travel stickers for the wedding post box suitcases.

Wedding Wishes Keepsake book

I made this Wedding Card for the couple who asked me to make their invitations. In keeping with the travel theme, I made a little suitcase box to keep the book card in.

The Bride loves sunflowers, and I had been asked to incorporate these in the theme for the wedding too, I had a few left over so they have found their way onto my gift card also. 

Lavender Scented cushion

The cutest little Lavender filled cushion. I free stitched the bird image with my sewing machine onto calico and then added a little lace flower to the corner.

The reverse side is vintage looking rose print cotton. Mmm! the smell is so good. This cushion is lovely to put onto the pillow for a restfull night.

Birthday Card for Niece

Using up some more scraps I used my corner punch to round off two of the corners and layering smaller squares on top. I mounted them onto an ivory matt and then that onto a plain off white card. Not easy to see, but the smaller squares are kinda sticking out like petals on the outside edges. I popped on a button and a greeting and I think it's a speedy and easy little card.

Galvanised tin bucket facelift!!

A humble tin bucket from the garden shed. Poor old thing needs a makeover!!

Using an image from Graphics Fairy

I printed it off onto brown wrapping paper then distressed the edges and Modge-Podged it onto my bucket. I now have a lovely container for my silk flowers I use for my wedding post boxes. I can also use it when I am displaying stuff on my sale table, very vintage looking and I did it in next to no time. Many thanks to Graphics Fairy for supplying yet again georgous images.

Thankyou Card

A lovely thankyou card. I have a lot of little off-cuts in my stash, as am sure you all have. I received a lovely bottle of wine, quite out of the blue last week and had to send a thankyou so this little card was born. I backed the rose print paper onto mirror card and just popped on a punchout butterfly and a little thankyou flag. Sorry I have been absent for a while, and maybe I will be taking another  short break again as our English weather is too good to miss Lol.... Bye for now. Hugs Vee x

Wedding Package

I was asked to make a wedding package for a friends daughter last year. She wanted something a little different from the plain cards etc. I had made these envelope cards before and she loved the idea.

Made in Ivory hammer card and using the Martha Stewart lace edge punch I put this along the edge of the envelope and then decorated with Ivory flowers and some of my favourite seam binding ribbon. The large one was for the daytime invite and held all the information on 4 parchment cards.

The smaller version was the evening invite, and the little card is the place card for the guests.

 

This is the Wedding post box I made for her reception to keep all the guest's cards and monetry gifts safe and sound. Afterwards she can use it as a lovely keepsake box for her wedding memories. If you look closely at the top of the box you can just make out a little "peg bride & groom" standing holding each other close. I added this for a bit of fun, but this is not my idea.... I got it from Pinterest !!



Altered Book Clock

 

A project I have been working on, on and off, for a while. I love old books that have been useful in their day but are a little bit worse for wear. I started out to make a secret box but then decided to turn this into a clock.

  First thing was to glue all the pages together with Modge Podge. That done, next was to hollow out the inside of the book and decorate with lovely vintage paper.

I covered the front book cover with a lovely vintage paper and then coated this with Modge Podge to seal it. I made a little bookmark to hang over the front just for fun.

Teacup Candles

Three tiny little china teacups found in a charity shop.

They make perfect gifts. I made little coasters for the cups to sit on with the safety

sticker on the reverse side. These ones I made with Peppermint fragrance and you can

imagine, the kitchen

smells lush at the moment LOL!

Dear Aunt All white Birthday card

I had this in mind for our dear Aunt who is 86 in May. The all white

theme was inpiration from Pinterest. An o-so-easy little card to put together when your busy

doing other things, (if your like me) I have millions of projects on the go at the same time. Guess

it's the way of all crafters! You can't see on the picture really, but I used Linen look card and embossed and cut a small square to frame then used a daisy punch and added some little gold pearls to the centre of each flower.
