Rachel's Cards and Crafts

This is the necklace, earings and memory wire bracelet I made at the Craftaganza using the Knotted Cord and Memory Wire Kit from Beaders Companion . You cn get this Kit in Teal (mine), Purple (which I also have but haven't made yet!!), Brown and Green. Sorry the picture's not the best. I didn't have a display bust. This Kit is excellent to use and the beads are wonderful, each bead is hand made, and has been hand picked from India when Sarah and Sara had a trip ove there. The kit gives excellent instructions as to how you can make the projects. But as we found out at the Craftaganza everyone can make different and unique projects. Hope you like it and why not pop over to Beader's Companion to have a look at all of the lovely beads. Happy Crafting Rachel

Hi all. Here's some more Tatty Teddy Cards I made and didn't get around to blogging. Hope you like them. I just love Tatty Teddy!!! xx Hugs Rachel xx

Here's a few cards I have made using the Humprey Corner Christmas CD from Crafter's Companion. I think Humprey is just adorable. Like I say these are made using the Card Companions section on the cd.I have a few more printed out but haven't made them up yet. I will add these ones when I have finished them. But for now here's the ones I have done so far. Thanks for stopping by again xxx Rachel xxx

For this card I have made a stepper card for the base. I have printed a backing paper from the Cute Companions Christmas Collection CD. I have matted this onto some blue card onto each of the sections rounding the corners. I stamped one of the bauble images and coloured using copics. I then cut oit out using a nestie and sprayed with spray and sparkle and spray and shine to give a glass like look. I matted this onto a silver nesie shape and before sticking the panel don attached some ribbon to the back. The bauble hangs loose. I finished off with a ribbon bow. I have also added a snowflake gain created on the cuttlebug and added a jewelled brad. I have attached a couple of sentiments to the card. xx Rachel xx

For this first card I have used a Papermania Scalloped edge 8x8" base card. I have matted a BP from the Snowman CD onto some Mirror card. The topper is printed onto some whiten linen card and I have matted this onto some teal blue card stock. The image has be decoupaged and I have added some irredesent spray and sparkle.

Matted the packing paper onto some teal car and then mirror card. I have rounded each of these corners with my corner punch. Again the snowman is printed onto some linen card and then decoupaged up.
