More craft stuff

After a 2 month gap between posts, now there are 2 posts in 2 days! I've been doing more crafty bits today, a new baby card made by Iris Folding and a birthday card made by Tea Bag Folding. This was my first attempt at tea bag folding and I'm reasonably pleased with it. I think it needs a little something for the middle of the medallion, but I'm not sure what. This evening I've saved a few tiles created by other members of the CoC crafting forum and hope to get some printed off and have a play in the coming days to create more medallions. It's pretty intricate folding such small pieces of paper so accurately but it was fun to do.



A couple of days ago I bought some quilling tools on ebay, and this evening I've bought some quilling papers on ebay. I had hoped to get the papers at Hobbycraft when I was there earlier today but they have to move their slower selling lines so they can get Christmas stock in ... and quilling paper is one of them. Watch out for me having a go at quilling in the coming weeks!

Where have the last 2 months gone?!

Oops, I didn't realise it had been so long since my last post here.

I've not done much craft stuff over the last couple of months as I've been so busy doing other things, but I have made a few more Christmas cards. The CoC website and message board I visit have monthly challenges for Iris Folding so I've entered those. August was everyone doing the same fairy pattern which was interesting to see how people interpreted the pattern. September's challenge is to use the bit that you cut out to make another project - leftovers. I made two similar Christmas cards for this.


Anyway, here are a few of my most recent efforts, including a special card I made for my Aunt & Uncle for their Silver Wedding Anniversary (I was a bridesmaid at their wedding).



I plan to try and get back into crafts over the coming weeks - I need to make at least one new baby card this weekend for a friend who's has had a baby this week, and we have several other friends and extended family members who are due to become parents in the next month or so! I also want to try my hand at Tea Bag Folding and Quilling ... I feel a trip to Hobbycraft coming on!
