Oh Gosh, hasn't it been hot again - we moan when it is cool, we moan when it is hot, but yesterday I had to get some birthday cards done so I found the heat a bit hampering.
Last weekend Tracey (
Oyster Stamps) gave me some Crealies Modern Patchwork Dies to have a play with and Friday was the first time I had chance to give them a go. Well, nothing on You Tube to show me what to do with them all so cut, cut, cut. Made a hash of it with the first attempt and then realised I did not have to use all the shapes.
Checked some blogs and found that they did not use all of them. Tracey wanted me to use them differently to how others had used them - so here we are - two birthday cards for friends which will be delivered today in readiness for their birthdays later this month. Neither of them check my blog so I know I am ok to post. I did do two others but as they had to be mailed out I forgot to take a photograph.

sorry it is a bit skewy, it is a white card with black stones

As you can see I went for black and white for my first cards using these shapes. Not sure what I will be doing next with them - watch this space.
The tutor we had lined up for today has had to cancel and so on Tuesday we found ourselves without anyone to teach the class. Luckily I had a Bargello class ready (ie samples and boards) so I asked if they wanted me to step in, which is a bit why I have been busy. Just hope I can remember how to do it 'cos that is where I am today. I'll take some photos and post them tomorrow.
What are you doing today?

Great cards Neet, the dies would make great masculine cards, always a challenge for me, I'll look out for them in the shops.

Oh Neet thank goodness you've been given these dies! I've got them as well but haven't used them yet, so can't wait to see what else you create with them. Haven't done bargello for an awfully long time - bet your class enjoy it.
Hugs.

What am I doing today - trying to keep cool - lol! We are never happy with the weather are we....
Your cards are wonderful, I have never seen those dies before but look great the way you have used them, I love the geometric designs. Hope you have had a good day! Hugs, Anne xx
