Candy's Handmade Creations

Another lovely winters day, a bit of a breeze blowing but the sun is out and keeping us warm. Today I have for you a number of cards that I have made for classes and swaps. Hope you enjoy

Welcome everyone to my very first photo video tutorial.  So sit back and watch and hope you enjoy

Once again my friend who will remain nameless but she knows who she is requested me to show her how to make these flowers. So I sat down yesterday in my spare time and made these lovely flowers and decorated a small bottle to match. So tomorrow Wednesday she is coming out to my home and we are going to make more. Be prepared to have your patience and get glue almost everywhere. I tell you sticky sticky sticky..... So just out of my stash I grabbed some scrap paper and walla here are the flowers. The bottle I found in a cheap shop and I put some hessian around, ribbon as well and a large flower on the front and used the metal flower that came off the bottle to decorate it.

Last week I just recently went for a short trip to Rockhampton and went and checked out A Crafters Passion and I decided to buy one of their monthly kits I think they come available about the 15th of each month. You get about nine pieces of patterned paper, three cardstock and a lovely embellie pack filled with goodies this cost me $35.00 so I bought it home and looked at the papers and thought I will make an off the page book with this for my dad. As it had planes on it and he was in the Air Force when he was younger. I forgot to take a photo of the pack before I dived into it but this is the book I have made. No photos yet but I will get to them later. I have added about another three pieces of cardstock to this kit for tags etc.

Just a few cards I have been creating for either swaps, challenges or just because I wanted to  A couple of house warming cards These two are made from paper napkins

Yesterday I decorated a gift bag to go with the card and tag I made a few weeks ago for my mum for Mothers Day. And yes I know that it is early but I have to be organised. I have used some of my Kaisercraft stash for both the projects, same range actually This is the front of the bag  I have used a punch to punch out the flowers and leaves This is the back I only had a little of the paper left so I had to make do. On the right side is cardstock and the left is paper with a lovely decorated heart punch used along the edge I also used some liquid pearls around the edges  This is the box for the card it measures 4x6 inches  The inside along with the card and the tag to go on the bag all I have to do now is finish it off with a lovely quote  The box, card and tag
