Xyron Creative Station

Hi Everyone,

Bad start to my resolution, already behind with my blog but I'm carrying on regardless, anything is better than nothing!

Debbie and Fiona are on Hochanda today with the fab Xyron Creative Station. These machines are brilliant if you don't like getting in a sticky mess and they do lots of other things too like laminating if you get different cartridges to go in them, very versatile.


These are the two samples I created for the shows, a notebook and a card. I've used the Sara Signature Little Angel and Birthday Party Collections and used the Xyron to stick everything, even the ribbon and embellishments.














Hope you like the samples, see you again soon, don't forget to leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

New Year, New Start!

Hello everyone, Happy New Year!

I don't really do resolutions but this year I've decided I need to get better at blogging! I didn't blog at all last year for one reason and another so starting as I mean to go on my aim is to blog once a week through 2017.

So, my first card for this year is a 60th birthday card I've just made for my Auntie using the Verity Rose collection from Crafter's Companion. Click the link and check out the products that are on special offer! I love this collection and I've used it a lot throughout the year.


I really like layering patterned papers and the papers in this collection are just divine. To make them pop I matted them onto matt black card in various sized panels. Once assembled I then edged each layer with glitter glue. I'm not usually one for glitter but it think this particular collection just lends itself to a bit of sparkle. I die cut 60 from papers and matt black card using the Sara Birthday Collection Number dies and offset the colour to create a drop shadow effect. Popped a few embellishments on to finish it off and hey presto, my first card of 2017.

My family usually get a card made in less than 5 minutes because I spend all my time on design team makes and forget about cards I need for myself so maybe my next resolution needs to be to spend more time on cards I need for me to send!!

Anyway, I'm hoping to blog much more regularly and try and meet more of you fellow crafters through my blog so here's to a blogtastic 2017!!

Hope you like the card, don't forget to leave me a comment to let me know what you think!

Take Care

Becky
