Spanish Collection ...

Hi Everybody,

I have another new die and this one is from JGD Crafts  a UK based company in Nottingham.

This beautiful die was created from the  new Sue Wilson dies and this is the Spanish collection called Seville.

It makes the most beautiful lacy pattern and I have only used the die set for this card.

I inked through the patterned die whilst the card was still place with Distress ink to give a subtle hint of color to the frame.

I cut the largest die twice and made a hinged base then layered up the other dies with foam pads.

The label was cut  twice  ... one to frame the other ... then stamped in color and embossed in clear.

One of the dies cuts the pattern but leaves it in the card and is excellent for creating box tops that show the card inside.

I added acetate to the top and decorated it to match the card and it is very pretty.

This is a picture of the packet that you are looking for and
JGD Crafts have the full range of Sue Wilson dies in stock.

This is a die that I will be using time after time and I love the lacy look to the card.

I have added in some pearls from Want2Scrap  and the tiny turquoise clear flowers are also from the same company.

So that the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts have the extra sparkle I have dusted them with Glitter Magic.

More tomorrow ...

Hi Everybody,

This is a very pretty card in turquoise and white and it is decorated with flowers, ribbons and pearls.

The ribbon is layered over some white lace and the flowers are glittered from  Glitter Magic

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and the ribbon was some that I bought from TKMaxx.

The large pearls are from Want2Scrap  and they match the card perfectly.

The background pattern is the ever popular Quatrefoil   and it makes a really pretty backdrop to the circle.

So it is another one up for grabs and if you would like to win this one then all you have to do is leave me a comment.

Mystical Embrace ...

Hi Everybody,

How Spellbinders come up with these names for their dies is wonderful and they have some fabulous titles to them.

This beautiful swirly one is called Mystical Embrace and it is truly gorgeous.

It is one of the 5 x 7 card creators and despite all the intricacy of the pattern it cuts like a dream and just falls out of the die.

It is one of those dies that I fell in love with as soon as I saw it ... and it has not disappointed me.

Apart from some layered white  card I have stayed with  the die to make the rest of it.

The ribbon is a wide  pink one and I have tied it in a double  bow and added in a Diamante and pearl  centre into the bow

I have added in a beautiful hatpin to the knot and this is removable as a small gift.

The pearls around the edges  are from Want2Scrap   and add just that little extra to the card.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Valiant Honor

Hi Everybody,

For this card I have used the new  Valiant Honor  set that arrived over the  weekend.

I have used  the long label  and cut it a dozen times to create the fan... and  added pearls from  Want2Scrap  along each of the pieces and teardrop pearls along the top.

The tag has  been stamped and heat  embossed  and added with foam  pads to raise it up.

I have cut the base in the hinged card style  from the Grand Large Labels

The ribbon and flowers have been colored to blend with the card.

The Dotty card  is from AnnaMarie Designs

Very simple card but good for girly ones and I will be playing more with these and the other new dies this week.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
