Sweet Summer Blanket

 Sharing another crocheted blanket I have made called the 'Sweet Summer Blanket'

The designer is Sue Rawlinson also known as ‘Sweetpea Family’ 
 on Facebook and Instagram

I love her pattern designs and the pretty colour combinations she uses.

 I really liked the bobble stitch which I learnt last year in Sue's pattern for the
Sirdar CAL 'Sweet Blossom' blanket which you can see HERE, so I was
keen to give this pattern a try.

I really enjoyed making this blanket, and will probably make another

sometime, maybe using autumnal colours.

The wool was purchased online from The Wool Box and the pattern
required eleven 100g balls of Hayfield Bonus DK in the following shades:

Cream, Blush Pink, Frost Blue, Vanilla, Gentle Jade, Terracotta, Oatmeal,
Lilac and Lagoon Blue.

Wedding Card

Here is a clean and simple wedding card I made for friends. 

I started by embossing the card base with the hearts embossing folder,

then using one of the labels set, I die-cut the sentiment.

Next, I used the next size up and die-cut a silver mirror card to

mat the sentiment onto. I used 3D foam to give some dimension.

Lastly I added some diamanté gems to finish.

The products I have used are:

Spellbinders Labels Sixteen

Embossing Folder - Brand unknown

Scrabble Tile Pictures - Updated

I recently updated two of the Scrabble Tile pictures I made for my
nephews and their families to include the names of my two new great nieces.

Details of how I made these pictures can be found HERE and HERE

I had to re-make the first one completely as it wasn't easy to add 'Isla'
into the original layout.

The second one was a lot easier as 'Chloe' fitted into
the original layout.

I think all four families are complete now, so no more alterations needed!

Birthday Card For My Great Nephew

My youngest great nephew celebrated his third birthday earlier

this month, and this is the card I made for him.

One of his favourites characters is Fireman Sam, so I found a free image

to print, mat and layered it with blue card and glued it onto

the card base.

I then die-cut his name, age and stamped the sentiment.

The products I have used are:

Trimcraft First Edition Alphabet dies

Cuttlebug Alphabet/Number dies - Olivia

Clearly Besotted Stamps - Mini Calligraphy
