Good Friends ...

Hi Everybody,

I love this card and it turned out so well.  It is another using the Sun Kissed Fleur matching die and stamp set  from Sunrise Crafts 

It has been colored with Spectrum Noir and the Colors used are
TB2, TB4, TB5, DG2, DG4

The sentiment is stamped and embossed in silver and is from the set that matches Labels 29.

I have made it into a   Hinged Card  and embossed the top white panel.

The Diamante flower centre and the buckle are from Wild Orchid Crafts ... and I love those flower centres.

As a final touch I have added the large triple bow using the   Bow Maker   and added  tiny gemstones into the centres of the smaller flowers and it would be suitable for many occasions

  

More tomorrow ...

Pink and Blue ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is mainly to show you the sentiments from JustRite Stampers.

It has all been stamped and embossed in silver and is part of the set that is offered to you in the   September Give Away

Click the link and add your name to the list for your chance to win the goodies ... but only once please as duplicates will be removed.

There are lots of sentiments and little flourishes with the stamp set and it will make all the difference to your cards.

I have cut mine out with two of the Labels Four and twined the Twisted Metal Tags around it.

I used a   blending tool   to add some Victorian Velvet Distress Ink before I took the card from the die.

The card is made to the   Hinged Style  and I have   Created a Frame with Spellbinders   for the front and filled it with Grateful Lattice.

The pink pearls are from  Want2Scrap   and the beautiful flowers are as always from  Wild Orchid Crafts. ... and they have been sparkled with Glamour Dust.

The Hatpin is pushed in to the knot for extra effect.

This Day I feel ...

Hi Everybody,

This is a card that I made to show Griff how much I care for him.

It is for no particular reason ... it's a  ..."Just Because" card.

It is using the Mix and Match sentiment from JustRite Stampers and is one that will mix with the set that is on offer in the September Give Away 

It is quite a large card and I have used the extending Crisscross Pattern for the inside of the frame.

The leaves are from Crafters Companion and are one  of their Christmas release dies.

I added pearls to all the cross sections  of the card and added some pretty paper under the frame.

The inside of the card has been lined and the photo shows the number of layers to it

It may have pink on it but he loved it anyway ...

More tomorrow ...

Creating an Alphabet Stencil ....

Hi Everybody,

Here as promised is the tutorial on how I created my stencil background for the baby card I showed you a few days ago.

You will need a set that die cuts the letters out individually for you so that you can place them randomly on your cutting plate.

But once you have your letters then you can create a stencil that you can use over and over again.

Spellbinders Alphabet  Tutorial  will show you what I did.

An Alphabet  will allow you to add any name you wish to your cards and make them truly unique.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts   and they have been sparkled with some Glamour Dust.

And the pearly flourish is from Want2Scrap  and I have just cut  off the portion that I need for my card.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial

More tomorrow ...
