TEENY, TINY TUESDAY .. .. AGAIN !

Hi Everyone

Happy Tuesday!  

Hands up anyone who has been trying to make the most of the gorgeous weather and done far too much washing these last couple of days and now has a HUGE pile of ironing!   Hope it cools down a little so I feel brave enough to face it soon LOL!!

Also a little time to create one of my teeny tiny 3.5" square cards amongst everything else that has been cracking off today.  I can't believe how popular these are .. .. and with having a blank insert they get sent for lots of different reasons.  Some people even use them to put on gifts they are giving away.

This is my share for this Tuesday:



This used:

Sentiment:  Docrafts Me to You "With Love"
Backing papers:  Pink Petticoat (lots and lots of different leftovers).
Nestabilities:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Button and Ribbon from My Crafty Stash Box
and of course the We R Memory Keepers envelope board.

The technique used is a Starburst or Sunburst Card and was one of the commissions I did for the recently released issue of  Quick Cards Made Easy magazine.

The London Kids came home for the weekend and my Son challenged me to use the technique on one of my tiny cards .. .. so there we go.  Challenge complete.

I have used the technique on quite a few cards recently and really enjoy it.

This was my favourite Starburst card from the magazine 


and I also worked on a new cascade card base commission .. .. and this was my favourite from this set:


Plus I was also asked to work with the free gift of stamps and quilling papers and this was my favourite there:


There are flower stamps alongside the gift if you don't like the idea of using the quilling papers.

So that is me for today.  Photograph overload!!

Time to go and get some more washing in off the line :-(  

I really need to be strong and keep the washing machine door well and truly closed tomorrow .. .. but I know I won't!!  LOL!!

Love

    Hi there Jules, you have been busy as usual. These are lovely cards, showcasing some great techniques. I really do like your dinky cards - so cute. My washing machine has been super busy too! I have started ironing pile no. 2 as the first one is toppling over! My hubby and son may not see some of their shirts for quite some time. :-) Lynn x
