Flower Power ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is using a die that has been around for quite some time.

But having said that it does make some really pretty flowers.

I have just created a single flower and added it to the Bella Rose flourish and I am pleased with the look of the card.

The sentiment is from the Sentimentals range from Crafters Companion  and there are lots of lovely words in the sets.

It has been heat embossed in silver.

The Aster Flower die is available from  Save On Hobbies  and is on a sale price at present.

The making of the card has been filmed to show you what I did and I hope you will enjoy the short tutorial

The only die I have used that I couldn't list for you was the little corner one that was used for the pocket and in the sentiment frame.... and it was the Filigree Corners from JustRite.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Etsy Shop

Hi Everybody,

This lovely card is created with lilac Centura pearl and white card and is one I have added to my Etsy Shop.

It really is very pretty with all the embossing which is created from the Ornate Butterflies folder from  Crafters Companion

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and they are a mixture of Roses, Carnation, Chrysanthemum and Aster.

They have been sparkled with fine glitter from Glitter Magic  and I have added in Diamante from Want2Scrap

But the touch of luxury is the ribbon and Diamante buckle along the bottom of the card that is my finishing piece.

The swirl ribbon is from Reasonable Ribbon and is part of their monthly ribbon club.

More tomorrow ...

It's all white ...

Hi Everybody,

A card that is very simply an A4 cut  in half and a hinge added at the top giving me lots of space to dress it.

I have used the Tied Together embossing folder from Sunrise Crafts  and this is a folder that sells out time and time again.

The flowers are from a stamp from   Stamps by Chloe and the centres are little pearl clusters from Wild Orchid Crafts

But what I would like you to take a closer look at is the edge...

This is created using one of the Stitches dies from Tattered Lace  ... and there are six different stitches in the set

They make a very pretty look and as I use the others in the set I will be sure to show you.

And they save all that messing  about with a ruler and a Poky tool trying to get the edges straight and the corners to line up correctly .... pain!.

This will give to a  quick, clean and straight edge to your cards.

More tomorrow ...

Rose garden ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card uses just the matting basics sets and the small labels.

The Trellis card is from AnnaMarie Designs and I have used Diamante to stud the framework.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and they have the addition of fine glitter on them from Glitter Magic

The lovely sentiment is from Crafters Companion and is one of the Sentimentals range and there are lots of lovely words in whichever set you choose

I have embossed it in silver and then added Diamante from Want2Scrap  to the label

I hope you enjoy browsing the websites I have linked you to for some really pretty finds for all your cardmaking.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Letterpress ...

Hi Everybody,

This lovely card was created using the Letterpress Technique

On this particular card I have used Spun Sugar Distress Ink and the result is very subtle

The Diamante flourish is from Want2Scrap  ... and the ribbon is from my "Stash"

The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and they are perfect for this very feminine card.






You can use any embossing folder that you already have in your collection ... the list at the bottom is just to show you what I used for the  card at the top

Experiment with your folder as you will get a different look with the ink from each side ... and one may please you more than the other.

Have fun !

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
