Californian Collection - Background

Hi Everybody,

For todays card I have used another  of the dies from JGD Crafts and this is the Californian Collection  Background die designed by Sue Wilson.

I have simply cut the pattern out of white card and then  cut it into strips and backed each one with pink card. The card is from Papermill Direct

I have mitred each corner and added it to an embossed panel
with foam tape to raise it up






There is a smaller frame over the verse and a little  pearl from Want2Scrap added to the centres of each pattern

The verse is from Crafters Companion

The tiny bows are off a new pair of pyjamas ... as they look much better on my card

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and are a lovely mixture of Roses, Tulips, Cosmos Daisies and Sweetheart Blossoms.

All sprinkled in glitter from Glitter Magic

It is quite a big card at 7 inch square but it does look very pretty.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

With You in Mind ...

Hi Everybody,

So here today is a pink card .... just for a change !!  And once again it has many layers

I have used California Collection - San Francisco as the topper and layered it over the second die in Elegant Labels Four.

The Sue Wilson Collections are available from JGD Crafts   and they will ship worldwide

The matching bling for the Labels Eleven comes from Want2Scrap

The lovely pink satin ribbon is from Mei Flower    and I have tied it into a double bow ... and  added three Sweetheart Blossoms from  Wild Orchid Crafts  

A really pretty card with lots of depth to it.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

So Thankful ...

Hi Everybody,

The beautiful ribbon on this card has a wire edge to it which makes it easy to form into a beautiful bow.

The card is made to the Hinged Card Style  and then layered up with Spellbinders ... and the dies are listed at the bottom of the post

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  with the addition of fine glitter from Glitter Magic 

 For me the two go hand in hand for a lovely sparkly effect.

The pearl spray in with the flowers is made by me and added to the corsage along with green leaves.

The sentiment is part of the Good Friends set from JustRite Stampers

The background is embossed with the A4 folder called Basket Weave from   Creative Expressions

Birthday Card

Hi Everybody,

Here is a lovely birthday card in that wonderful shade of blue  teamed with the white and there are lots of layers to the card.

The sentiment was a free die from a Simply Cards and Papercrafts magazine that I subscribe to each month.

The ribbon is from my "Stash" and the large pearl centre is from Creative-Studios  ... and don't forget that these pearls can be altered to any color with your Spectrum Noir pens.

All the layers have been raised with foam pads to give depth to the card and the only other embellishments  are the self adhesive pearls in blue from  Want2Scrap

The inside is lined with a matching patterned card that is from AnnaMarie Designs

More tomorrow ...

Create a Card - Aurora

Hi Everybody,

This is the last of the six lovely  new dies from Crafters Companion in the Create a Card series
and this one is  Aurora

I have used the die  complete for this card  and the only  addition is the  scalloped and plain  circles at the bottom  for the sentiment.

The flowers are from   Wild Orchid Crafts   and they have the usual sparkle  to the petals with fine  glitter from  Glitter Magic

But the long stem with the berries is from   AnnaMarie Designs  and I bought these at a craft show last year

This card also has a Hatpin pushed into the bow and the knot is covered with a beautiful red and Diamante sparkler from WOC

The red flourish is from   Want2Scrap  and just fills that small gap on the sentiment tag

The ribbon is some that I bought at a craft show last year and I have doubled it around the card and added a double bow

A bit of a distance from pink ... but just as pretty

So I hope you have enjoyed seeing the new die sets and I have just used them in one way.  There are many ways to use these and  if you remember these are all scheduled posts ... so once I get back home I will make sure to put them to work and show you what I come up with

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
