Marmalade Not Cards!

 Good morning crafters!

I was very fortunate to get some lovely oranges from my friend in Kangaroo Valley - thanks Gudula!  She has a fabulous B&B if you are ever going that way. Once we're out of lockdown of course!

Anyway, I made a batch of marmalade.  I've done it several times before, but I always forget how long it takes and how much sticky mess I make.....giggle.  When I was eventually finished it was quite late and honestly, I was exhausted.  So it's been a process and last night I decided the jars needed a little fabric top - well, you've got to go the whole nine yards, right?!

The only fabric available was some of my daughter's pattern making calico, so I set to work stamping and cutting.  I used Memento Ink - it makes a bit of a mess on your hands I can tell you!  But I ironed it and I think it's going to be ok i.e. it won't run.  Much. I think. 








I made the tags using a die cut from Tasteful Labels - boy have I had my value out of that set!  You can see if here.  And the stamp is from the (sadly) retired Fresh Fruit set.

I love it when the crafts collide!

Hava a super day!

Not cards.

My love affair with Spice Cake began when the summer mini catalogue arrived last December (Nov for us demo's).  Anyway, over the summer I was lucky enough to be able to renovate my craft loft space.  I chose Spice Cake for my decorations.    I still have some work to do so won't be photographing it all just yet, but thought I would share a couple of nice decorative touches I've made.

Here's the first;




The heart is made from craft wood and they are available in all sorts of sizes & there's lots of different shapes too.    I love it with the Pool Party Spice Cake DSP in the back.   The flowers were made using the Boho Blossoms punch.  I scrunched and ruffed up the edges a bit to give them some texture.   The colours are Pear Pizzazz, More Mustard, Whisper White and Soft Suede.  SU mini brads make cute centres. 

Enjoy Good Friday and have a lovely long weekend.
