Easter Celebrations at Crafty Ribbons


Hello!  Welcome to my first Easter Inspiration post for Crafty Ribbons.  It is all going on for the next few days.  Crafty Ribbons Inspiration has all the details if you are not yet up to speed.  It's all building up to a Bunny Hop on Monday  :)

Today I have a Spring Wreath to share.




I've painted the twig wreath with gesso and added some pale pink flowers.  I added a snippet of French Stamp Ribbon with the words 'je t'aime.'
I prettied up the flowers with some sheer dots ribbon, and added a hanging loop too.

    Hi Laura, Oh hun I love this little wreath - what a brilliant idea. Might have to have a little go at one of these.
    I love to create for Birthdays - love to find the image to match the personality of the birthday boy/girl.

    Your wreath is so pretty Laura! My favourite occasion to create for is Birthdays, I positively hate creating for Christmas due to the volumes needed!

    Just adorable!
    My favourite occasion to create for is birthdays - I love making something personal for each recipient, that's not necessarily tied to a theme.

    What a neat idea to make a little wreath - it's adorable and I love how you tied the ribbon. My favourite holiday to create for is Christmas - I make Christmas cards all year long and I love the sparkle and glitter that I use. I guess I could use glitter at other times of year but I tend to forget. I am enjoying your blog. Wishing you much joy and many blessings!

WOYWW 159

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead up in the corresponding g

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
