Ideas for flower cards

Another day, Another flower

 

 

So this week I'm obsessed with ready made paper flowers

 

Pretty aren't they!

 

I've made lots of cards and tags from these.

Really simple yet very effective.

Take a look.

Cute tags and card ideas.

 

 

Love autumnal colours and this works so well. 

 

Any occasion cards.



 

I went for a different style card, I like it!

 



 

These are one of my favourites

Gotta love the Gingham!

 





 

 

Hope you enjoyed taking a look at my cards as much as I love making them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Five pretty flower crafts.

I bought these and just had to make something with them. So I did and then something else and something else, I just couldn't stop!

My take on Mondocherry button pictures

 

Pretty button pictures

 

 

 

I have an abundance of pretty buttons (another of my passions!) Which for a while not known what to do with. After all something so pretty need to be used for a worth while craft. I know, I know I sound a big like Golum, '' My precious'' Buttons!!

Then while on Pinterest I came across a lot of the Mondocherry  pins which show their button art, and I though ''Why not?'' so here you have it.

 

 

I used 4 button and three different pieces of coloured/patterned card/paper.

The colours of the paper matched the flowers on the buttons.

The only thing I would do differently is not space the 4 squares so far a part.

 

 

Have a go and create something beautiful!

 



How to make a bug hotel.

Bug hotel? Don't mind if I do!

 

 

 

 

Wanting something to do this week?

Children chomping at the bit to do something?

Well I have the answer,

 A Bug hotel!

This can be the end to a great day of foraging in the park for twigs, leaves, bark, stones and what ever else those little mini beasts call home.

 

 

 

We used an old plastic plant pot turned on its side as the hotel.

Fill it with all your finds, we all so used an old egg carton and a cling film tube cut in 3 pieces. This helps to make little cracks and crevices for the mini beast to hide in.

Dylan asked me to make a sign to welcome the bugs ha ha; well you've got to haven't you!

 

 

There you have it a fun way to spend the afternoon, getting dirty, messy and best of all having fun!

Don't forget to keep checking what you have in there it's fun and teachers the children all about the wild life in your garden.
