Ruby Update

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your Bank Holiday as mush as I am. The weather has been very kind and not too hot for me.

 I don't like it when it gets too hot especially with having a thick coat. But I am at the groomer's next week to have my hair done so that will be a little cooler for me. 

This was my walk through the big park her and it is called Stanley Park.  It has some lovely paths for us to follow that go through wooded areas as well as this beautiful fountain.

I would have loved to jump in for a little swim, and there was another dog already in the water, but no matter how much I barked my mum just wouldn't'  let me. When I was a baby though I did once step onto what I thought was green grass and it turned out to be just the algae floating on the top  of the lake in Stanley Park, and I went straight under.

My mum was calling me from the side, and that was when I first learned that I could swim, so I came straight back to her. I was about four months old and my mum nearly had a heart attack. Vickie and Dougal where with us too and it turned out to be quite funny once we all got over the shock.

Ever since then I have loved jumping in the water and I don't care if it is muddy either. My mum is not always happy when I am smelly though.

There is a lovely big café in there as well that gets very busy.  My mum had some coffee and we shared a piece of toast, and they always leave water out for any dogs that ned it.

So enjoy the rest of the week and I will see you again soon. 

Love Ruby

Floral Birthday Card

 Hi Everybody,

Todays card has a beautiful flower on the front and I created this with some Foamiran that I have in my "Stash" It was very easy to work with and it comes in many colours

I used white and some peach on my cards with green for the leaves. And although I used a hot iron with mine you really don't need to if the thought of messing about with a hot iron puts you off.

The foam can be moulded from the warmth of your hands by rolling it in your palms. It is probably not as deep a crease but it will work .

The card above is the one that I made in the video but for another one I simply made some Rose buds and added them in a bouquet.

I added copper gilding flakes to these petals and

 tied them with a bow. The card size for this one is A2

The technique to make the buds is a little different but still not hard to do. And they fill an empty space if added with a group of larger flowers

I hope that this is something you will try for your self and I am sure you will be delighted with the flowers you make. Especially when you see the price of some ready made ones these days.

Slimline Box & Card Maker De Set

Hi Everybody,

Did you get to see Pauline Hickey demonstrating the brand new Slimline Box &  Card Maker Dies on Hochanda yesterday. 

This is a fabulous die set and there is also a DL size as well.

In the video I have shown you how I have used the die set and with my card I have created an envelope that matches. 

There is such a lot of versatility in any of these die sets that you need never be stuck for how to finish them off. I have had so much fun playing with them and if you managed to get yours from the shows then I hope you enjoy them as much.

I have even created a Slimline Easel Card that fits inside the box  and if you would like a video then just let me know and it will be done.

So these are only two die sets from the new collection and I will be adding more videos to showcase them all in the next few weeks. 

They are all available at Craft Stash so why not pop over there and take a look. 

In the meantime I hope you will enjoy the video that I have put together for you. It's not too long so you won't get bored.

Just long enough for a morning break with a cuppa and a biscuit ... or some chocolate !!
