Grand Labels ...

Hi Everybody,

Another pretty card featuring the Grand Labels.

I love the basic shape as it makes  the card  just a little different from the plain square.

I have hand cut the green layer and then another of the Labels to add a small border around the edge.

The beautiful Ornate Gate has been cut twice and used together as the lacy background for the centre panel.

The smaller of the Labels has been used again to layer up the centre piece of the card and all the layers are added with foam tape.

A beautiful mixture of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts  are along the side and they have been sparkled with Glamour Dust.

The silk edged Organza Ribbon is from my "Stash"

More tomorrow...

Pink and Cream ...

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is in Pink and cream and the two colours work so well together.

The big satin bow is created from Ribbon in my "Stash" and made using the Bow Maker   that is available in My Shop

The small cream pearls used to adorn the edge of the card are from Want2crap

The base is created from the Grand Squares and the centre piece is Adorning Squares.

Just a very plain and simple card but so effective.  The sentiment has been heat embossed in silver and the tag added to the centre of the bow with the pearls to hold it in place.

More tomorrow...

Tomorrow holds ....

Hi Everybody,

As you are reading this I will be getting ready to go to Wales on my holiday.

We are staying for a few days in a  cottage and just taking things at a slower pace than normal.

 I am hoping the  sun is going to shine for us but we will enjoy the break whatever it does.

So for the next few days my Blog posts are all scheduled and I am hoping that every thing goes as planned with them all.

This card is created once again from the Hinged Card style using the Matting basics A and B sets.

I have embossed the next layer with the Argyle A4 folder from Crafters Companion

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and are a mixture of Chrysanthemums, Lilies, Cherry Blossoms and Daisies.

I will add some of my sight seeing trips over the week and so there will be more tomorrow ....

Background Pattern Dies ...

Hi Everybody,

These lovely cards are created using more of the background dies that are my recent purchases.

This first one is called the Hexagon Pattern and it makes a beautiful effect for your cards.

I bought both of these  dies  from  PapertreyInk  in the  USA

It has taken a few weeks  for them to get here but they are well worth waiting for ...  and no customs charge this time either.

The base is cut from Grand Labels and the sentiment from   JustRite Stampers   has been heat embossed in silver.

The flowers are a mixture from  Wild Orchid Crafts  and the petals have been sparkled with Glamour Dust.

This one is a Harlequin Pattern and it has a matching stamp that you can buy.

I have cut the die and stamped the images and then married the two together

I think they are lovely cards and these are dies I will be using time and time again.

I also have one more patterned background to show you will but that will have to wait.....

I am going away for a short break this weekend and all my Blog posts for next week are scheduled to go out each morning.  So fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong.

Once I come back I will have another "Give Away" for you and some exciting news that I can hardly wait to share with you.

More tomorrow from a scheduled post ....

Almost White ...

Hi Everybody,

This almost white card is created from the Grand Squares and has been layered up with smaller panels that have been hand cut.

The Grateful Lattice has been framed and add to an embossed panel.

The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and it has been heat embossed in silver.

The flower die has been cut out several times and all layered together to create the large bloom that is on the right and I have created the leaves to the flower suing the largest die from the  Damask Motifs.

I have added a pearl centre and glittered the leaves with Glamour Dust.  The pearly flourish is from Want2Scrap 

The paper behind the Lattice was from a free paper stack.

More tomorrow ...
