White Christmas ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is another that will be put aside until the jolly season  ...  and this is another tone on tone.

The dies are once again from  Tattered Lace   ... and if you haven't  yet popped over there to see the dies on offer then you are missing a treat.

This is very simply made with the Grand Labels ... and you will need a die cutter with the larger A4 opening to use this die.

The lacy border has been cut twice and layered up with foam pads to give a 3-D effect to the border.

The greeting has been cut from the Christmas Sentiment from Tattered Lace, cut from silver card and added with a glue pen.

The ribbon is from Mei Flower and has a silver thread running through each edge and I have added bows to the top of each of the Baubles.

Each of the layers has been embossed with the A4 embossing folders .... Dottie and Perfect Paisley ... from Crafters Companion ... altogether a pretty card

Thank you to everyone who emailed me to tell me about the problem with the Blog page.  It is now solved and it was because I have used up the space with Photobucket and have now got more ... so panic over and everything is back to normal 

 More tomorrow...

Hugs xx

Let It Snow !

Hi Everybody,

Here is another card made with the  Tattered Lace  dies and this one uses the beautiful Poinsettia from the Christmas Florals  and the Christmas sentiments.

I so love the Poinsettia that this die makes as it is so delicate  and this one has been cut from Silver card.

I shaped the petals and layered them up then added in  pearls to the centre and placed  them on to the card in different levels and tucked the leaves into the spaces.

The ribbon is a soft satin from Reasonable Ribbon

I even added in some snow with Flower Soft.

The sentiment is individual words that I have run over the back with a Glue pen and then added where I wanted them.

The cards is created to the Hinged Style with the 5 x 7  matting basics.

So this is another one to add to those ready to send at Christmas ... only another ??? to go then ....

More tomorrow

Hugs xx

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.

More tomorrow...
