Easy Card ...

HI Everybody,

A few days ago I added a card and the video  that was created using Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament and the Quatrefoil Pattern.

But then I had a few emails asking if this card could be done without the use of dies ... and would I do a video on that way to make it too.

So that is what I have done ... and here is the Easy Christmas Card   that shows how I made the card pictured

The embossing folder is from Crafters Companion and is one of the 8 x 8 Embossilicious  and the pattern is very deep.

The sentiment has been stamped and heat embossed in silver and the beautiful Flourish is from Want2Scrap

I have also added the red pearls to the cross sections  and the ribbon is some of that I bought from TK Max.

Tomorrow is the draw for the two prizes that are on offer this month.  You still have chance to add your name if you would like to win some flowers from Wild Orchard Crafts.

More tomorrow ...

Sneaky Peak ...

Hi Eerybody,

Here are two cards created from the  new Bebunni stamps that are launching tomorrow the 18th October on Create and Craft.

They have been colored with Spectrum Noir.

The colors used for both complete images are ...

PP1, PP3, PP5, IG1, IG2, IG4, IG6  ... and the ribbons alter the look.

I have added in my usual "Bling" from Want2Scrap and just small pieces make all the difference.

Both cards are also made to the Hinged Card style  and for the blue card I have left the ears outside the frame and curled them over a little.

No Flowers on either of these cards but the offer to win some is still open until Saturday morning.

You still have time to add your name to the list for two chances to win some beautiful flowers from .... Wild Orchid Crafts  

More tomorrow ...

Craft Show Buy ...

Hi Everybody,

The card today is much prettier in real life because of the background ... the photo does not do it justice.

It has a gold thread running through the pattern and is very elegant.

It was a craft show buy and it is fabric.  Voile to be factual and there were many colours and patterns to choose from.

It is added to double sided adhesive sheets and then you can cut it down to the size that you require.  I cut mine with the Grand Labels and it cut beautifully.

I added it to a   Faux Nestie   panel of the labels in the cream card and added it with foam tape to the front.

 But this is the bit I wanted to share with you and  how much of a bargain it was.  

Three sheets to each pack and buy one pack and get another one FREE .....Who could resist such a buy  ... er not me !!

£2.50 and I have 12 sheets of voile to add to my cards for a really special look.

The centre of the bow was one of my bargain bracelets from Primark  ... so who is feeling a happy bunny then ???

So to answer some questions I have been getting about the "Give Away" .....

• The red cross at the side of your name just means that you can delete it if you wish ... it is nothing sinister.  But please delete it if you add your name more than once.
• You don't need to have a Blog to enter ... just leave the URL box Blank
• URL is nothing sinister either ... it is just the way that each page on a Blog/Website is found and it stands for Unique Random Locator  ... that's all
• It doesn't matter where you live you can still enter for the chance to win .... I am happy to send the prize to you where ever you are

And if you haven't added your name yet then here is your chance ..... Wild Orchid Flowers.  ... I can't believe how many of you want this prize, there are over 700 names so far and we have till Saturday before the winners are chosen.

If you spot any duplicates then please let me know as it is getting rather hard to scan them all now

More tomorrow ...

Isabella is Two ....

Hi Everybody,

This beautiful little girl is Isabella and she is my  Great Grand-Daughter and today is her birthday.

She is my Grand sons daughter  and she is so full of mischief.

Today she will be two years old and I really don't know where those two years have gone.

It doesn't seem two years since her Nana (my daughter) was this age ... and she was just as cheeky too.

I have bought her a "Little Peoples" house so that I can play with her too and I can't wait to see her little face when she sees it.

Typical female though ... here she is counting her money and looking most disconcerted with it.

I wonder if she will want to craft with her Great Gran when she gets older ???

More tomorrow ...

Cream and White

Hi Everybody,

This lovely cream and white card was one that I added to my Etsy Shop   and it sold straight away.

There is a permanent link to Etsy in the side bar should you want a peak !!

The front  of this card is embossed and layered with  Cream Centura Pearl  and I have added  Want2Scrap   pearls around the edges

The silver sentiment is cut from the Tattered Lace Sentiments die.

The large Diamante and pearl centre piece is from The Hobby House  

The trellis pattern at the bottom of the card is from Stamps by Chloe

The inside is lined and embossed with a Crafters Companion A4 folder and it is a deep pattern that goes perfectly with this card.

The flowers are a selection from   Wild Orchid Crafts   and just nine flowers have added such elegance to the look.

Just imagine how far the "Give Away" prize is going to go using just a selection at a time.

If you would like to win some WOC flowers then add your name to the list to be in with one of two chances to win the

October "Give Away"

Click the link ... you have until Saturday to enter and then the draw takes place.

I have noticed a lot of new names to the growing list for this prize and so "Hello Ladies" glad to have you on board,  I hope you will become regular followers and pop back often.
