Hello!!!
I have been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently - mostly because I have been working my socks off to prepare stock for the Vintage and Handmade Fair I am selling at tomorrow!!!! I have done 100 Christmas cards and am now working towards finishing the non Christmassy cards, I have done 51 so far. This is the 1st craft fair I have ever done and it is safe to say that I am royally poopin myself about it!!! Who knew selling cards would be so scary!!! This is an idea of what the stall is going to look like -
The fair is at Millmead Hall, Wolverton, Milton Keynes - 10th December, 10am - 4pm. It is going to be an awesome day out, just in time for any Christmas shopping you need to do. There is over 50 stalls including MINE!!!!! Here's a little sneak peek at some of the stuff I'll be selling....
On a non-Christmas fair note....
I took some of my cards into work and a colleague asked if I could do a special card for her daughters 16th birthday. Of course, I said! After listening to what the birthday girl was into I did a quick sketch of the card I had in mind.
I sat down and started on the circle that was going to make the easel part of the card. Quite quickly my design evolved from an easel card into a standard single fold to give the design more space. I have used a Kraft card base, Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby cardstock and elegant flourish die, some Prima flowers, sticky pearls and some buttons. The numbers are from Tim's Carnivale alphabet that I have triple embossed using silver embossing powder. The pink cardstock was torn into a square, screwed up, flattened out and sanded. I think it creates a lovely vintagey look.
This is my 1st vintage style card, believe it or not!!! I'm shocked that I have managed to go this long without making one - Vintage is EVERYWHERE atm!!! I think it turned out really well!! I'm super pleased with it and hope the birthday girl will be too.
Would love to know what you think of it!!! please leave a comment!
So that's me done for another post, will write again after the craft fair - hopefully will be taking lots of piccys!!!
Speak soon. Big Love.xxx
