A Friend Is ....

Hi Everybody,

Yesterday I reached for the Floriography CD from My Craft Studio as there are some really pretty papers on there.

Lots of flowers and pinks and delicate patterns and oh so girly.

This really is one of my most favorite CD's  for backing papers.

I have created the base from the Matting Basics and layered my paper onto some pink card.

It is not very clear on the photo but the paper has then been run through the Calibur with the Butterfly Garden Impressabilities  

I have layered that with the Radiant Rectangles but the centre has been created with the matching stamp that adds the filigree pattern to the oval of the die set.

I have heat embossed it in silver along with the sentiment and added them with foam pads.

The Triple Bow is made with the Bow Maker   and uses a beautiful organza ribbon

 The pretty Roses  in the centre are from Wild Orchid Crafts   and the pearls in each corner are some of the  Bulk Bling form Want2Scrap

More tomorrow ...

Filigree Delight ...

Hi Everybody,

The cards featured today are both using the same set of dies.

But each one has a different look due to the colour scheme and the way the die has been used.

The Gold card has been created from the Filigree Hinged Style

The layers are made with the smallest die from the Grand Decorative Ovals and then Opulent Ovals and added with foam pads for height.

The sentiment on this card  is from  Lili of the Valley   and has been stamped and heat embossed in gold.

The double bow has been created with my Bow Maker  with a large Diamante in the centre.  I have also added Diamante around the ovals

This card has the same die added but this time I have layered it onto the red and added the other layers with foam pads.

The sentiment is from JustRite Stampers  and the pearly "Bling" is from Want2Scrap and is a deep ruby red.

So today the sun i shining and I am going out with my "Film Crew" for Sunday lunch ..... I can almost taste the roast beef already and it's only 9am.





If you are one of yesterdays winners then I need your land address please .... you only have one week in which to claim the prizes or it goes to someone else.

More tomorrow ....

Alphabets ...

 Hi Every body,

I thought that for todays card I would go back to Spellbinders.

This one is using Alphabets which are excellent if you want  to personalise the card for any recipient who is lucky enough to get one of your beautiful designs.

I have made a short video to demonstrate these lovely sets ... Spellbinders Alphabets

This particular set is called Donnas Alphas and is an excellent all rounder.

It can be used to add any name or occasion to any of your projects.

Inking  through the die before you remove the card makes the letter stand out even more.

This cards has used the more intricate Jewel Alphabet and this one is very ornate.

I have used a silver Pen Touch pen to go around the edges of the letters on both of the cards.

And then I have added them at different heights on the card with foam pads.

Both of these Alphabet sets are available from  Save On Hobbies   and the price is  really good value for money.

The addition of the flowers has made them even prettier and they are from Wild Orchid Crafts .... and they have a 30% off sale going on at the moment.

The "Bling" is as always from Want2Scrap 

There is still time to add your name to the list for the June Give Away   so click the link to win one of the three copies on offer.

If you can't wait and want to buy your copy of ....  Farmyard Fellows   then this is the place to go

More tomorrow
