Shiny and Blingy

Hello to my very ignored crafty pals, gosh I am naughty especially as you have been so wonderful about my de-stash and my good news of course. I hope you are all doing well and are seeing a bit more sunshine than we are having here. 
On the conveyor belt today, hee hee, we have the shiny and the bling. I wonder if anyone else has dufex in their drawers!! My oldest daughter did help with the wee bling and has a charity in mind for these. I would like to say that this latest effort has made a bit of a dent in the stash, maybe it will show up better when I have sorted the inserts, envelopes and bags. You will only get a gist of what the cards are like as they are almost impossible to photograph. 
All my doggy and simple sympathy cards have gone and I have been told more will be welcome so you will see some more of those in the following months. Also a selection of my male cards will be welcomed so I think I will be kept busy.
Well the BIG tidy will continue for some time to come so who knows what comes out of the cupboard next. Again I am so pleased that you all visit and comment as I do love reading those. Get ready for shiny photo overload.
                                     

 






Hugs to all, Flora

    They look lovely and all so different. Yes they are difficult to photograph, so shiney, but nevertheless I can see them quite well Hope you are well, hugs Kate x

  2. You put me to shame Flora.All these fabulous cards you have made.
    I don't like dufex for that reason.

  3. Well you have been busy making all these cards - as you say it really is amazing just what comes to light when thinning out the crafty stash although I've not come across any dufex yet, not something I was ever a great fan of so maybe that's one surprise I won't find.

  4. Wow! You have been busy Flora, you must have made a huge dent in your stash! Such a wonderful selection of cards, such variety, I know what you mean about trying to photograph shiny cards, I had the same problem this morning with one of mine.
    I look forward to your next collection of de-stash cards.

    Brilliant cards they will be snapped quick smart. Good for you using up "stash"

  7. Hi there Flora - yup I have some Dufex in me drawers - I found it when I was sorting out my room. Still not used it though - lol. You really have been so busy, these would have taken me an absolute age to do. I bet they sell like hot cakes!

    Hugs to you Sue Pxxx

    PS Like your taste in music - especially the Bowie - I like to be able to hear the words as well, just so I can trill along! Ooops

  11. Hi there
    You have certainly been busy...I feel lazy in return! lol
    Not sure what Dufex is as I am in Canada...but I think it must be a type of foiled toppers. They must be hard to photograph as when I try to get a photo of anything that has mirri card trim. no matter how slim of a piece, I always get glare.
    Lot sof grat cards, I bet they are pretty IRL.

    I too am on a de-stash kick. My room is stuffed tot he rafters and I so need to clear out some of my older things.I donate cards sets to charities too (Operation Red Nose in past years) and so I soldier on and make them up into cards. Non cardmakers do not know what is in and what is not!
    I think I could go about 2 or maybe even 3 years, and only have to buy card weight cardstock and glue.

  22. Good grief Flora
    You have been a busy girl again. Shiny stuff is always a pain to photograph. Dufex in your drawers sounds painful but Im sure you can get cream for it, lol!
    Best wishes.
