Unit 1 Almost There

As some of you know, In June I started the Certificate in Papercraft done by the Craft Qualifications Centre. I am so pleased to tell you that I am nearly finished with Unit 1 and here are some of the pieces of work that I a submitting. Unit 1 entails submitting a card, a 3D object, a scrapbook layout, ATC's, or another type of papercraft.

 

This was a 3D notelet set that I did as a birthday present for my mum from my 2 girls. It was my 2nd attempt at doing it but I am so pleased how it turned out.  I have submitted this as my 3D object for unit 1. I used the new range of tatty teddy to make it.

This was made for my younger sisters 21st birthday and I made it out of wrapping paper and my cuttlebug.  The numbers were done by drawing around wheelie bin numbers and the font I used was Sizzix Broadway Melody. I have submitted this as the card aspect of unit 1.

This was just one of the scrapbook pages that I did for my sisters 21st birthday scrapbook.  She is a grade 8 singer and for the London Pentecost Week in 2008 she was asked to sing for a show.  It was done at Cafe Eterno in Covent Garden and the whole show was called Shoes. It was about a woman whose life had been totally upside down, she had been on drugs, prostitution and self harming. God spoke to her at one of the lowest times in her life and she came to know Him as her Saviour. She cleaned her life up and she found love. She had been told she would never be able to have children because of things that had happened when she was younger but after getting married, they discovered that she was pregnant and was having twins.  The story was so powerful and before it was told, there was a musical aspect to it. It showed the powerful struggle between good and bad and the main song was called Shoes by Nia(a Walsh singer) if you ever get to hear it. 

The page below is the whole of what I did for her but I only need to submit 1 page so the top ones are the page that I picked.

Baby Shower

These were the baby shower thank you cards that I did for my friend.  The card was pearlescent from AnneMariedesign.com and I used the free baby carriage from the cuttlebug. The paper was Mon Petit baby shower from a shop that has now closed down.

You must be spoilt because here I am again. I told you I hadn't been busy doing nothing.  One of my good friends had a baby shower end of September and she asked me to make the thank you cards for her.  I made 20 and they were in packs of 10. Unfortunately, they are stuck on the other camera and so I will get them on here as soon as possible.  I also made a mum to be card as baby showers really are becoming popular over here.  Here is one of the cards I made

This was so much fun to make.  The stamp is  'Expecting Nikki' from ladybuginkcrafts.  The other one I did was in blue but that is the one I gave to my friend and the picture is stuck on the camera.  The background card is pink lemonade cardstock from Creative Memories, The circle was cut out using the Creative Memories Cutting system and the letters were done using the sissix Broadway Melody die cuts and that paper is Mon Petit Pregnancy from Provo Craft.  I was so upset to discover on holiday that the place I got it from had closed down.  Why are the craft shops closing? It is so sad.  The image was coloured in using Promarkers.

The Postage Collection

This may seem like a strange title but when you see the pictures, it may make sense why I have called it that.  These are some of the cards that I have made in the hopes of doing a christmas fair.  All of the cards on this part are made using the die cut postage and the embossing folders that came free when I bought the cuttlebug and also by cutting off half of the front of the cards and attaching a piece of patterned paper behind it.  This is why I have called it the postage collection.  Anyway, here they are.


This card used Lili of the Valley round sentiments, the Martha Stewart scalloped dotted edge punch, the paper used is Nana's Nursery baby boy paper stack.  The baby carriage image is made the postage die cut and embossing folder.
