Tied Together in Teal ...

 Hi Everybody,

It is time for the craft shows to start again this year and I am torn between two on the same weekend.

There is the big one in Manchester at Event City but there is also one at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton ... now which one shall I go to ????

Why not both ... Bolton on the way to Manchester ... oh my I am so clever !!

Todays card is very similar to the yellow card from a couple of days ago  but this time I have used Teal.

The lovely sentiment verse is from the Sentimentals Range from Crafters Companion

The  Tied Together  embossing folder has been used along the bottom and each cross section has the pearls added.

The Bracket die has been used to create the raised pattern along the top and  bottom, and the pattern along each side is using the  Stitches  Die from  Tattered Lace

The flowers are from  Wild Orchid Crafts  and as always they are sparkled up with glitter from   Glitter Magic 

Got to go and get ready now .. going out to dinner with my "Film Crew" ... and we have two cards ready to film over the next few days for you to see.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

SB Labels Thirty Four

Hi Everybody,

I have used the 5x7 matting basics for this card and the Labels Thirty Four ... and I can't show you the picture of these yet.

The background is the 3-D M-Bossabilities folder for Labels Thirty Four and I have simply layered the labels shapes on top.

The lovely white satin ribbon is from Mei Flower  with a Diamante heart sparkler in the centre, and a couple of small pins pushed into the knot.

The ric-rac braid is from a pack that I bought from TKMaxx.

I love this turquoise  shade nearly  as much as  I love pink, and the pretty flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and the little organza butterfly is from my "Stash"

The flowers have been sprinkled with a fine glitter from Glitter Magic  for an added effect to the corsage.

Some of you seemed to enjoy the yellow card yesterday and thank you for your comments. And some would like to see that card  in another color ... so away I go to make the card ....

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Sunshine Yellow ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is created with yellow Centura Pearl from Crafters Companion   and I have used it with some yellow ribbon that I found in my ribbon box.

The sentiment is also from Crafters Companion and is another from the Sentimentals.

The flowers are white and from Wild Orchid Crafts  and they have the usual sparkle from Glitter Magic

The pattern at the bottom of the card is the embossing folder called Tied Together and in the cross sections I have used Mother of Pearl pearls from Want2Scrap

I have used another of the border sets and this one is the Bracket Borders One

It has been added to a Hinged Card  and lots of layers have been added.

Yellow is not really a color I use much but this card  is much prettier in real life than the photo shows.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

A2 Scalloped Borders One ...

Hi Everybody,

These two cards have been made  using the A2 Border dies.  It is a requested video from someone who has them and is not sure how to use them ... and as always a video is better than mere words.

So this Sheri in Arizona is for you ... hope it helps you if only a little.


The photo is to illustrate the difference between the US A2 and the 5x7 card sizes.

And I have shown both because although  the dies say A2 they are not just for that size card.

They can be used on the bigger ones with no trouble at all.




I really like both of these cards although I would have to say that my favorite is the larger one with the flowers.

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

My pearls are from Want2Scrap   and the pretty ribbon on both of the cards is from Mei Flower 

In the listed dies below ... the three  to the left have been used on the A2 card and the  three to the right are for the 5x7 card....   and  the centre Scalloped Border die has been used on both

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
