Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

June 29, 2015

We are all Special ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card uses a mixture of striped card from  AnnaMarie Designs  and some silver foiled card from  Hunkydory  and although completely different they play nicely together.

I have created the card from 5x7 Matting Basics A&B from Spellbinders  and the foiled card is Labels Twenty

I have used the matching Diamanté from Want2Scrap  to surround both layers of the label

The satin ribbon around all the layers is from  Mei Flower and the lovely sentiment is from  Lili Of The Valley  which has been stamped in black and clear embossed

The bows centrepiece and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and are a mixture of Roses, Gypsophillia, Lilies, Apple Blossom and Magnolias.

Just a couple of things I would like to say ... First is that I am going to be stuck with three blue card if the ladies whose names were added as an extra on Saturday to win them don't come forward.  Here are the names again ... and then I give up ....
 Donna Sherman ... Jayne Buckley ... Sandra Smith ...
I know we humans like to skim a page but you will miss out if you don't read the blog post completely

Secondly the link to the
Inspiration Page is at the top left of the page and it is a video card collection. Click the photo at the top and it will take you to another page.

It is NOT the  "My Designs"  which I have now moved to the bottom of the column.  That is simply a slideshow from Photobucket and there is nothing to click there and you may get an error message if you try to open that. 

And to the ladies who have already found it Thank You for the lovely comments you have left for us. We will be adding more as often as we can

And don't forget that the card photo under the heading Tuesday Tutorial is also clickable and will take you to another new page with lots of tutorials from this blog ... a new one every week ...and Spellbinders with a new one every month. 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  18. Lovely card Christina. You always give such clear directions about everything on your blog. I cant see how anyone doesn't understand.Maybe they are newcomers and are just finding their way around. Hope your "blue" winners turn up! xxx

  20. I love how you utilize more than one die-cut from the same design. I'm practicing that idea. Hope you find homes for the "Blues" cards. The girls don't know what they are missing. Have a great week.

  21. If they don't want them, I will,have them, how can you not want to claim such beautiful cards.

  22. Very pretty card, love the dies and colours you have used. I do hope that the ladies claim their blue cards. Only a family emergency would keep me from checking to see if I had won one of your beautiful cards.

  30. Beautiful. I love this one but green is my favorite colour:). I'm sure if any of your cards remain unclaimed there are more than a few of your followers who would jump at the chance to give them a home, myself included. Thanks for your ongoing generosity.

  32. Hi Christina, beautiful card I love the colours and the layout ESPECIALLY your fabulous bows, mine never look as beautiful and neat like yours always do, no matter how I try. Ladies come and claim your cards !!! You don' know what you are missingI am still admiring the beautiful card I won a couple of months ago. Waiting for a taxi at unearthly o'clock so will be away for a week, will have to catch up when I get back on all the beautiful cards I will have missed each day I'm away, take care.
    Regards Liz

  33. What a beautiful card. I love the colors and striped paper you chose..just beautiful.
    I'm so sorry the ladies weren't able to come forward to claim their cards. I hope that's the reason..that they had a good excuse and truly weren't able; otherwise, it takes away the enjoyment and excitement someone else may have had if her name had been drawn.
    Again, a really great job on the green card!
