Italian Collection ...

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is created from the Italian Collection by Sue Wilson

The dies I have used are the Italian Background and the Tuscany and both sets are from JGD Crafts 

I have created this card as a  Hinged Card   and the link will take you to the tutorial for that style

The centre part has been colored with Dusty Concord and Bundled Sage Distress Inks and then sparkled with the Chameleon Glitter 

The link takes you to all the colors that are available in the Iridescent Glitters and there you will one I use all the time.

Slightly different mix but the Tuscany has had the same treatment but with Victorian Velvet this time and the rose is created from Felt.

Both pretty cards

More tomorrow ...

Chameleon Glitter ...

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is created with the Grand Squares as my base card and layered in red and white

The white layer has been embossed  and ribbon wrapped around the layers before adding it to the card

The Gilded Gate has been cut twice and  then I have sprayed it with Stick and Stay from Crafters Companion

It has then been sprinkled with the   Chameleon Glitter   from Glitter Magic ... and the link  will take you straight to the pot of glitter    It can be found in the Iridescent Glitters if you need to find it again.

The deep red satin  ribbon is from Mei Flower  and it ties in a beautiful bow.  The bow centre is from Wild Orchid Crafts

The deep red pearls are from Want2Scrap  and they have just been added to the corners and on the tag

The glitter doe not show up very well on the photo  ... but it sparkles  here in real life.

More tomorrow ...

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.

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 ...
