Charlie's Ark Christmas




Good Monday Morning~ We're you able to view the latest Flower Soft Video on the Charlie's Ark Products? If not, follow the link on the site to Flower Soft TV to check it out! I had a blast with the Charlie's Ark The Night Before Christmas Creative Kit. With lots of toppers and 3D toppers, the possibilities are endless! I whipped this card up quite quickly, using foam tape between the layers to give them some dimension!



The card just comes to life with this 3-dimensional effect! To top it off, I used some Ultrafine Strawberry, Polar White and Ultra Fine Sand. I hope you enjoyed this project and I'll see you next week with some more fun ideas!

Die cut and Creative Kits? Sounds like bliss!

How adorable is Charlie and his pals? I have been lucky enough to demonstrate these fantastic kits to crafters at some of the consumer shows here in the UK. Time after time I would hear,"adorable, cute, he reminds me of..., oh and die cut too?"





These cute,beautifully illustrated toppers make up into totally unique cards that anyone would be proud to send or own.







This happy little card was created using the Charlie's Ark Creative Kit, Christmas with Friends. You will be amazed at the treasures contained inside this pack.... toppers, backing papers, die cut decoupage/paper tole, sentiments, inserts, poems, sentiment ribbons, all beautifully die cut for you ready to start to work with.



Materials used;
Charlie's Ark Creative Kit, Christmas with Friends.
Foam pads/Pop dots.
Card stock.
Distress ink.
Paint brush.


What I love about crafting is that there always seems to be an endless way that we can then put our " own mark" onto our creations.


For a perfect example of this, tune in to see the great technique that Sheena shares with us in this weeks http://www.flower-soft.tv/



The "icing on the cake" ( as we would say in the U.K.) is the fact that these images are then die cut with great precision to the most amazing standard! The images are then so easily popped out from the sheet to decoupage/paper tole that creating the most stunning card is totally stress free and in fact very relaxing to do.


I just know that once you have these in your hands you will sooo enjoy the magic they create!


Until we chat again, take care and stay well,


lots of love Noreen.

Just a little sprinkle.........


So sorry to be late posting! I've been a little preoccupied lately and well, it's just been one of those days!!!! It's nice to sit down at the computer and relax for a bit.

I wanted to share a simple project with you today. I love making one layer cards with lots of dimension. It allows for reg postage! This is a card that we made at my card class last week.
The ladies were amazed how much dimension that you can create with masking techniques and they LOVED how the Polar White Flower Soft gave an added touch to this design.

Hope that you have a wonderful day!
