Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Dreamer ...

Hi Everybody,

Back to cards today and not a Spellbinders in sight.

This is simply A4 cut in half and joined together with a hinge and then each mat and layer cut slightly smaller.

The top layer has been embossed with the  Ornate Butterflies A4 folder from Crafters Companion

The inside is also embossed with the same pattern and the beautiful pearl flourish on the front is from Want2Scrap

The ribbon is some from my "Stash" but the centre on the bow and the flowers and the leaves are from Wild Orchid Crafts

The flowers have been sparkled with Glitter Magic  and I use the one called Chameleon for my cards as it goes with anything you add it to

It is a very simple card to make but how you dress it  is up to you and the embellishments that you have available to you.

More tomorrow ...

Card Class Contribution ...

Hi Everybody,

Last weeks card class had to be prepared the week before as we did a fun technique with some glue and of course we had to allow it to dry.

Mary went for the paler colors and Brenda the darker ones but I think that both cards look really pretty.


We used the   Scalloped Borders One   to create the layers and lined the insides with an embossed piece of card.

They have both added in one of the pearl sprays to their corsages and the flowers are from  Wild Orchid Crafts ... the bow centres are from WOC also

They have been sparkled with  Glitter Magic   and both have used ribbon that is from  Mei Flower 

And once again my lovely ladies have gone away with lovely cards and smiles to match.

More tomorrow ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays cards is in a white with a lovely shade of green peeping through

The sentiment can be for any occasion and it is dressed up with flowers from Wild orchid Crafts 

There are several layers to the card and they are embossed.

And so I am going to offer you two chances this week to have one of them for yourself !!

TWO names will be drawn from the hat at the end of the day and if your name is one of them then one of the cards will be yours

Just leave me a comment at the bottom of this post and please come back to check in the morning to see if your name is there.

You have 48 hours to claim the card by sending me your postal address.
