A2 Bracket Borders One ..

Hi Everybody,

First of all   an apology  about the information that there was a craft show  this weekend at the Reebok Stadium.

Don't ask me where I got the information from coz I  don't  remember .... but there wasn't  .... it's not until the 31st May

I have smacked my legs and made myself stand in the corner with the dunces hat on for misinforming you all  ... I  am  suitably chastised !!

So we went to the one in Manchester instead and I bought some really lovely items that I will show you over the next few posts.

As we drove past the Bolton turn off on the motorway  Griff said ....  "Will you just look at all those people going to the Reebok ...  for a craft show that some body told them was on this weekend"  ... and I had to laugh  ... stupid girl !!  Soreeee xx

Well onto the card for today ....the other day when I added the  Sunshine Yellow Card   there was a comment that it would look nice in another color ... so here it is and it comes with a little video to show the die used.



My flowers are from  Wild Orchid Crafts   and they are given the sparkly treatment with a  fine glitter  from Glitter Magic   as it always enhances the look of my corsages.

The sentiment and the Centura Pearl card are  from   Crafters Companion   and the ribbon was some in my ribbon box.

The pearly "Bling" is from  Want2Scrap  and matches the Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three  and combined they all make  for a very pretty  card.



The inside is lined with the filigree pocket to add another label where the sender can add a signature  if desired.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Tied Together in Pink ...

Hi Everybody,

Here is a very pretty card in Pink Centura Pearl embossed with the Tied Together folder once more.

I enjoy using this folder as you can dress it up as you wish ... either plain or fancy.

I like to add pearls on to the cross sections but there are lots of ways to make it even prettier.

The flowers are from  Wild Orchid Crafts and I have added punched leaves into  the corsage.

I have been asked many times which punch is this.  It is the Ash Branch  from  L-Em  and this is the link to the item.

It is one I use quite regularly on my flowers and it is very delicate in the display.

I have added in some glitter to the petals and it is from Glitter Magic  that little bit of sparkle makes all the difference to your display.

The flower trim is from Wild Orchid and the ribbon was in my "Stash"   The verse is from Crafters Companion and is from the Sentimentals Range.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

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
