Friday Freebie Card 014

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is another of those peachy colors with beautiful matching flowers in orange,  peach and white all sparkled up with fine glitter from Glitter Magic

The arrangement of flowers are a mixture from Wild Orchid Crafts  and they have new flowers in all the time ... and at present there is 10% off to tempt you.

The background to this is the  Botanical Swirls  and there is a video to show you how this die works ... just click the link to go to the page.

The ribbon is from my "Stash" and I have added in tiny gemstones over the knot.

So if this is a card that you would like to own then all you have to do is leave me a comment.  Then in the morning my "Film Crew" will draw a name form the hat and I will add it to a Blog post for the day.

The winner will have 48 hours to email me with their name and postal address and the card will be on the way.

  If you leave me a comment then please don't forget to come back and check if you are the winner

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Creating a Side Step Card.

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is another one featuring the Mos Digital Pencil image called Joanie  ...

But the main reason for the card is not the coloring this time but the actual fold.

I have done a video to show you what I did to get the fold and how the rest of the card is created.

It is very easy to do ... just a couple of cuts and some folding and then it all just pushes into shape.

The video is not long and you can hear the croakiness in my voice.

The chest infection I have is lingering on and today it was back to the doctors.

Still I hope it won't spoil your enjoyment of the tutorial

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  along with the centre to the bow.

They have been  sparkled with   Glitter Magic  Chameleon glitter.   The satin ribbon is from Mei Flower    The butterflies were on a roll from the craft show and I don't know who makes them  Sorreeee !

On the website you can find other stepper card tutorials but they aren't  videos  ...  Yet !!

So there you have plenty to keep you amused for a little while

Mum ! Can you make me ....

Hi Everybody,

This must be a  plea that most of us have heard on a regular basis ... and this one came from my youngest daughter two days before we were going away on our train adventure.

She wanted a wedding card in rose pink with flowers, glitter and a matching box ... so not much there then !!

So here is what I created for her to give to her friends on their wedding day and I hope they liked it.

The ribbon is wired and makes beautiful bows

The dies I have used are from the Californian Collection by Sue Wilson

I got all mine from  JGDCrafts   They are a UK company but they will ship around the world

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and they have a wonderful selection to choose from

They have been sparkled with Glitter Magic

I made the box to compliment the card and added the ribbon around it ... both bows have a diamante and pearls sparkler in the centres

New Digi Stamps ...

Hi Everybody,

Yesterday I bought some new digital stamps from Mo's Digital Pencil  and this image is called Joanie.

Spectrum Noir Colors used ...
Skin             FS2 FS3 TN2
Hair             GB5 GB8 EB8
Dungarees   TB1 TB3 TB4
T Shirt          PP1 PP3

I shall have fun coloring up the rest of my purchases and adding them to Blog posts  as I make them into cards.

The card itself is created in the hinged card style   and I have used the 5x7 Matting basics sets A & B

The only decoration on the card is ribbon from Mei Flower  with a little dazzler in the centre from Wild Orchid Crafts  .... not a flower in sight.
