Card and Hatpin ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is another pretty in pink creation but this one has the Hatpin pushed into the corsage.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and have the added glitter  from Glitter Magic.

The diamante teardrops are from Want2Scrap and they blend with the diamnate in the hatpin.

The hatpins and end protectors are from the Sparkles Group  ... they are in gold and silver, different sizes and if you add the code CG05 you will get a discount at the checkout.

I have left the protector on the pin for the recipient to remove and wear.

This is the finished card and I have used the butterflies from the Les Papillion set.

The ribbon is from my "Stash"

The pink lace under the ribbon is from a bouquet of flowers that I got for my birthday  ... frugal crafter wastes nothing !!

The verse is from a set by Crafters Companion and there are lots of lovely sentiments in the sets.

The papers I have used are free with the March magazine from Tattered Lace

Tattered Lace Bow

Hi Everybody,

The pretty lacy bow on this card is from Tattered Lace and when ever it is on Create and Craft it sells out very quickly.

Here I have threaded some navy blue ribbon through it and added a large pearl cluster to the centre.

I have used it to cover the join in the two panels of dotty card and embossed card.

The little organza butterfly is one from my "Stash"  but the pearls around the sentiment are from Want2Scrap 

The sentiment is from the Crafters Companion Sentimentals 

Most of the dies on this card are from Tattered Lace and so I can't add the photos to let you see which they are ... but the base is from the SB Matting Basics which are always a good way for me to start my card.

I have now added the PinIt Button to each individual card  and it will show up if you hover your mouse over the photo.

So if you like something that you see please feel free to Pin the card to your board ... and thank you if you do

Chantilly Flourish ...

Hi Everybody,

Chantilly Flourish was one of the Tattered Lace dies in the Pick of the Week that was featured on Create and Craft TV  ... and it sold out before the week was finished.

I have cut it twice and used it as a background to the labels.

The sentiment is from Crafters Companion and is one of the Sentimentals Range  and I have embossed it in silver.

The pink pearls are from Want2Scrap  and the ribbon was in my "Stash"

The cut shapes are quite big and so I have  also cut another corner and added it to the inside of the card.

But I have only glued it on three sides then it can be used as a pocket.


The open end then will have a tag to slide inside it for the greeting to be added to.

Just a simple finishing touch but a very pretty one.

Spellbinders Labels Seven

Hi Everybody,

Today I have used  the Grand Rectangles to create my base but I have still added the hinge at the top.

Labels Seven  forms the book part  and both of these dies are available from   Save On  Hobbies  ... and you will find a new look to their website along with the new dies.

Scott the owner of the website is inviting you to add photos of any cards that you have made with dies that you have bought from him

All you need to do is upload them and add a little message to say who you are and what you bought to ...... support@saveonhobbies.com


The background is Tapestry and it is such a pretty pattern., and is one of the extendable dies from Spellbinders.

I have added tiny gemstones to it for extra effect ... and they and the Diamante strip are from Want2Scrap

The paper is a digital download from a Funky Hand CD and the die cut words are from Tattered Lace








This idea would suit a card for a Christening, Confirmation or even a Sympathy card and the words that you add to your book could be for any reason.

Just make sure that the book pages you use are suitable just in case someone tries to read them .... if you know what I mean ... and I am sure that you do !!

Tattered Lace Mask ...

Hi Everybody,

This beautiful mask is another delicate die from  Tattered Lace

They can be purchased from  Crafting.co.uk     and they have most of them in stock.




The card is a 6" square ... just to give you some idea of the size of the mask.

I have added silver edged ribbon through each side.

 The black pearls on the sentiment and the  Diamante are  from Want2Scrap 


The sentiment itself is from the Sentimentals collection from Crafters Companion   and I have embossed it in silver.

Quite a dramatic effect

Tattered Lace Bow ...

Hi Everybody,

Now this is more me ... and here is the Tattered Lace  bow that everybody wants to buy.

I have cut the bow twice and then cut the tails off one of them and layered them together with ribbon running through the knot.

Then I have added the smaller bow on top and placed a pearl in the middle.

I have used Spellbinders Grand Rectangles to create the base and added in the Chantilly Lace around the edges.

Mixing and matching dies from other companies ensures you get your monies worth from any of our purchases ... coz we all know they aren't cheap to buy.

The sentiment is one from the collection called Sentimentals from Crafters Companion  and I have embossed it in silver.

Click the picture to enlarge the card and then you can read the verse. The dies combined with the white and pink makes a very pretty card.

Today is your last chance to enter the draw to win one of the £25 vouchers from Crafters Companion.  The selection will be done by InLinkz and the winners notified in the morning.  So if you still haven't added your name then you will need to be quick.  ... Here is the link ....  Good Luck

I'm Late ...

Hi Everybody,

This is a late post for me as I usually have them done way before this ... no excuses and better late than never.

Yesterday was very busy and my "Film Crew" and I did three videos for The Art Studio with Spellbinders.

This will be the fourth class I have done for TAS and it will be with you by the end of the month.

If you have been waiting for the Spectrum Noir class then I must apologise for it's lateness ... but I have been waiting for the new pens to come onto the market.

I now have them and the next class will be with you in December.

Once the filming was done I had a quick play with the new Tattered Lace  dies and made this lacey butterfly from one of  the corner dies and added some pearly swirl  from Want2Scrap  for the trail

Then we went off to the cinema for the afternoon to see "Gravity" with Sandra Bullock and then out for Roast Beef ... so altogether a good day really.

The "Give Away" is still on going until Saturday so if you haven't added your name yet then what are you waiting for ???  ....  Here is the link    but please only add your name once as any duplication will be removed to keep it fair for everybody.

More tomorrow ...

Tattered Lace ...

Hi Everybody,

I have been lucky to get the pick of the week from Create and Craft and it is the Chantilly Lace sets from Tattered Lace.

It is so intricate and I can't wait to play with the dies.

One of the dies in that set was the Chantilly Bow and it would seem that this is the one that a lot of people want.

But it would also seem that this is the die that sells out super fast.

JGDCrafts  will have this particular  die  back in stock soon so leave them your email address  and they will tell you when it is back in stock.

There are other Tattered Lace  dies for you to be going on with and you will be spoiled for choice

I will post cards soon using the dies ans they are winging their way to me as I write ......

Cream and White

Hi Everybody,

This lovely cream and white card was one that I added to my Etsy Shop   and it sold straight away.

There is a permanent link to Etsy in the side bar should you want a peak !!

The front  of this card is embossed and layered with  Cream Centura Pearl  and I have added  Want2Scrap   pearls around the edges

The silver sentiment is cut from the Tattered Lace Sentiments die.

The large Diamante and pearl centre piece is from The Hobby House  

The trellis pattern at the bottom of the card is from Stamps by Chloe

The inside is lined and embossed with a Crafters Companion A4 folder and it is a deep pattern that goes perfectly with this card.

The flowers are a selection from   Wild Orchid Crafts   and just nine flowers have added such elegance to the look.

Just imagine how far the "Give Away" prize is going to go using just a selection at a time.

If you would like to win some WOC flowers then add your name to the list to be in with one of two chances to win the

This Day I feel ...

Hi Everybody,

This is a card that I made to show Griff how much I care for him.

It is for no particular reason ... it's a  ..."Just Because" card.

It is using the Mix and Match sentiment from JustRite Stampers and is one that will mix with the set that is on offer in the September Give Away 

It is quite a large card and I have used the extending Crisscross Pattern for the inside of the frame.
The leaves are from Crafters Companion and are one  of their Christmas release dies.

I added pearls to all the cross sections  of the card and added some pretty paper under the frame.

The inside of the card has been lined and the photo shows the number of layers to it

It may have pink on it but he loved it anyway ...

How stupid can you get ???

Hi Everybody,

This new Heartfelt Creations die arrived on my doormat  this morning from Sunrise Crafts  and so I thought I would give it a try out  to make a very quick card for a neighbour.

It cuts out all those flowers in one go and then you can curve and curl them to suit your needs and add them to a card.

Now the card turned out very pretty and both I  and my neighbour liked the end result.

And of course it is pink and flowery

I wanted one large flower to sit in the centre of a large bow, and the beautiful trail from the flower is a  Tattered Lace   die called Fuchsia.

I cut this twice ... once in green and again in pink, then cut off the flowers in pink and layered them onto the green and added pearls.

I added my die to a magnetic sheet to hold everything in place while I cut it .... BUT ....

 I put the die onto it the wrong way round .... and cut out the magnetic sheet instead of my card !!

So in answer to my own question of how stupid can you get .... well not much more stupid than that.

And let me tell you it's not the first time I have done it either ... you'd think I would learn a lesson wouldn't you.

More tomorrow ....

Hugs xx
