So if your name is on the "Join this Site" with Google on the left can you please now add your name to the "Follow this Blog with Bloglovin"  that is at the top of the post.  It will only take you a minute to do it but it is important.

That way you will still keep up to date with everything on the Blog and I won't lose you ... Thank you xxx

A little spot of Orange ...

Hi Everybody,

This card is so much prettier in real life  and the flowers are some of the Chrysanthemums from
Wild Orchid Crafts. 

In the pack they are a mixture of cream, orange and peach and they are gorgeous.... and I have added some Glamour Dust to the petals.

The stamp is part of a wood mounted set from the Glitter Girls  and is one I have had for a log time.

I have stamped it in orange and then heat embossed it with clear powder.  It has been added to the front with foam pads to keep the banner with a curved effect.

The card is created with the 5 x 7 matting basics in the Hinged style   and I have to say it is a card that I quite like the look of.

More tomorrow...

Pure White ...

Hi Everybody,

This lovely White card has been made with the Grand Squares  and lots of layers all added with foam pads.

The flowers, flourishes, leaves and butterflies are all from the Jewel Flowers and Flourishes.

Just the very centre of the flowers has been cut from a stamens punch.

The sentiment is from JustRite Stampers and I have heat embossed it in silver.

The flower centres are large pearls from Want2Scrap

The background has been embossed with the A4 folder called Tapestry  from Creative Studios  and it is so pretty.

The Art Studio ... Spectrum Noir Class

Hi Everybody,

A little while ago I told you about my new adventure with  The Art Studio and that I was going to be doing classes for them on my two favorite subjects.... Spellbinders and Spectrum Noir.

My first class went on air earlier this month and is called  

 Create Beautiful Cards with Spellbinders   

The class  will always be accessible  to you once you have purchased it and so you can watch and rewind as much as you like.

I was amazed at the response as it was a  hit with many people ... and a big  Thank You  to those of you who joined that class.

This weekend sees the second of my classes starting and this one is ...

Colour Style with Spectrum Noir  

This class is in three parts and priced at $9.99 (£6.50) for all three parts.

It will is the first of many and they will show you how to get perfect results using the Pen System  from Crafters Companion

So if you enjoy colouring in and want to get he best from your Spectrum Noir collection then I hope you will consider joining me on this new class.

More tomorrow ...

Tattered Lace Dies ...

H Everybody,  

This is the lovely High Heel Glam shoe die from Tattered Lace 

 I can't wait to show you  this very filigree die and the card it creates is so very trendy for girls of any age.... and there are many more for you to choose.

I have cut the shoe from some Pink Glitter card and added it to Labels One which has been embossed.

And then added to Decorative Labels One for the centrepiece

The Spellbinders used are listed at the end of the post but with just four of their dies I have made this very pretty card.

The satin ribbon has a gold thread running along the edges and this is from Mei Flower 

It makes a very pretty double tied bow with the Bow Maker available in  MY SHOP

The pearls are from Want2Scrap  and I have just added them along the centre strip.

More tomorrow ...
