White with a Red Splash ...

Hi Everybody,

This is another of my favorite dies from Spellbinders and this is the 5 x 7  Elegant Labels 4

It matches in very well with the smaller plain  Labels four and that is what the sentiment is stamped onto.

I have used a JustRite Stamp and you can mix and match the words to create your own sentiment with other stamps in the same script.

I have embossed one of the panels and the card is created as a Filigree Hinged Card   for a lovely lacy effect.

The ribbon has been wrapped around the top layers and it has a lovely metallic thread running through it.

 It is from  Reasonable Ribbons   and is  part of  the June selection  of their monthly ribbon club.

Very simple and yet very pretty lace card for any occasion.

More tomorrow...

Tone on Tone

Hi Everybody,

The beautiful Quatrefoil Pattern die is featured on this card ... have you got yours yet    ?? Click the link to buy it from Sunrise Crafts.

There are many many Spellbinders that I really love and this has to rank amongst my favorites and one I can use time and time again.

The card itself is nothing more than the A2 matting basics made into a Hinged Card

I have just  layered this with the  Quatrefoil Pattern in the same cream card.

A little tag has been added to the top with gold embossed sentiment and you won't get a much more simple card than  that for a card in a hurry.

The stain edged Organza bow  with the pearl centre is the finishing touch  ....

More tomorrow

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 ....

Hugs xx
