Paper Weaving

Good morning to all my friends and  followers I hope you are all keeping well and  looking forward to the weekend
Today I'm sharing something a bit different. Last Thursday at the craft group I go to we did paper weaving something I have not done for a while. I managed to make two cards which I finished at home with some embellishments so thought you might like to see them. They are both made with the same technique but very different style cards. I also used a 5x7 card on one of them something I've not used in a long time .

Christmas Robin

Good morning to all my lovely friends and  followers and a special welcome to my latest follower Ike from Ike's Art . I'm delighted you are following my blog.
My card today is one I made at the craft group I go to a couple of weeks ago this was a design that was brought by Andrea and is a lovely Robin Woodware stamp. We paper pieced it and I used Craftwork Cards papers.

I loved this card its a brilliant stamp to paper piece and I really enjoyed making it. I'm finishing my post today with the latest photo of Miles that my Daughter in Law Fiona sent on Monday. We are seeing him today so I'm really looking forward to that.

Enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned and keep warm. We are going to a cottage in the Peak District today for a week so hoping the snow doesn't last for long I think the log burner will get some use.

We've got plenty of supplies some craft stuff and books so well prepared. However we do hope we might get a couple of walks done and  a visit to Chatsworth Christmas Markets. Love and  hugs Carole x

Christmas Paper Piecing in April

Good morning everyone I feel so much better today the sun is actually shining here first time this week!! I hope that all my lovely friends and followers are well. Today I'm posting a couple of cards  that I made on Thursday at my Craft Group . We did paper piecing something I've not done before and made these two gorgeous backgrounds I added them to the Kraft Card and decorated them in a CAS style.

 

They are very different to my normal style of cards but I thought they looked good. .
