Chantilly Flourish ...

Hi Everybody,

Chantilly Flourish was one of the Tattered Lace dies in the Pick of the Week that was featured on Create and Craft TV  ... and it sold out before the week was finished.

I have cut it twice and used it as a background to the labels.

The sentiment is from Crafters Companion and is one of the Sentimentals Range  and I have embossed it in silver.

The pink pearls are from Want2Scrap  and the ribbon was in my "Stash"

The cut shapes are quite big and so I have  also cut another corner and added it to the inside of the card.

But I have only glued it on three sides then it can be used as a pocket.


The open end then will have a tag to slide inside it for the greeting to be added to.

Just a simple finishing touch but a very pretty one.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Glittery Shoe

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is made using  the large shoe from  Stamps by Chloe  that has been decoupaged  using three layers and I used the stamping card from AnnaMarie Designs

I have stamped and embossed it with Pink embossing powder and  then covered the outside of the shoe with glitter.

I added in some pink feathers, ribbon, and a gemstone centre to the bow and then layered it onto Tattered Lace  dies

The pretty gemstone centre is from Wild Orchid Crafts   and the spotty ribbon is some I bought at the craft show from  Mei Flower

Altogether a very girly card that would be suitable for many occasions.

More tomorrow ...

Card with a Difference

Hi Everybody,

We probably have all made Easel Cards of some description and then added in the Twist to change the look.

I have tutorials on all ... single, doubles, triples, twisted variations  and this the Quad Easel Card

This different style of card has been very popular with a lot of people and it has had over 11.000 views on YouTube since it was added.

It's claim to fame was that it was once featured on Create and Craft and I was named as the maker.

Can't tell you how chuffed I was about that .... oh yes!! cat and cream had nothing on me for a whole week.




 Anyway here is the video tutorial just in case you should want to try it for your self ... and it is only 10 minutes long.

I was using  flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts back then too and still do ... love 'em ...  Hope you enjoy

More tomorrow ...

Lilac Dreams

Etsy Shop

Hi Everybody,

Here is another card for my Etsy Shop and this is another that is far prettier in real life.

I have used many layers and quite a few dies to get this look.

The ribbon is from Reasonable Ribbons and the pearls are as always from  Want2Scrap

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

 I also pushed in some of the twigs I had left over from the Wreath card that I made using them the other day.

I used the same embossing folder for the front and the inside and it is one of the A4 folders from Spellbinders ... Dainty Dots

The sentiment is from an A5 sheet of mixed ones from the Sentimentals Range by Crafters Companion.

I stamped it in an ink to match the card and then heat embossed it in clear powder.

More tomorrow ...

Memories Card ...

Etsy Shop

Hi Everybody,

Yesterday I added the tutorial on how I made the "Keepsake" box and I am so honored to have had a comment from Marisa Job ...  the talented lady who designed the die that I had used.

Marisa makes the most wonderful cards and I love to visit her blog ...  Designs by Marisa   ... whenever I can.

Pop over there and take a look at the wonderful things she makes.

And she likes my idea of the box so much she is going to make one for her Grand daughter.

So for todays card I have used a really pretty shade of pink silk card and it is so smooth. I have used it to cut the layers and the flourish trim which is just under the ribbon.

On the front of the card I have used a large stamp and Versamark.

I have heat embossed it in a clear sparkly powder and it looks  lovely in real life.

Click the photo to enlarge the card and you can just make the effect out.


The inside is embossed with the Elegant Swirls folder from Crafters Companion

I have used the matching pearl "Bling" from Want2Scrap on the labels and also around the flowers.   The newest pearls from them are the tear drops in the corners and they come in two different sizes and they are lovely.

The ribbon that I have used is from Reasonable Ribbon   and my beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts ... and they have been sparkled with Glamour Dust ... I really like this card Mmm Mmm !!

More tomorrow ...
