Spellbinders Blossoms

Hi Everybody,

Todays card uses some of the older Blossoms dies from Spellbinders and I have made several  flowers of different sizes to add to my card.

I have made this one from silver and white with a touch of pink to the edges of the petals and the pretty silver butterflies are from my "Stash"

The labels Twenty has the matching "Bling" attached to it from Want2Scrap

The inside is decorated to compliment the front and I have added in a little pocket with a tag inside for a signature or greeting.

But on Create and Craft at the beginning of this month I showed all the new flower dies that have been added to Spellbinders collections

I promised to make a tutorial on each of the new dies showing how the parts go together and so later today my "Film Crew" is going to start filming the making of those flowers.

Then slowly over the next few weeks we will add every one to the website under the collective title of  "Create A Flower"  and these will be free tutorials for you to view at your leisure

Now talking of  tutorials ...  I have added the latest in the Spellbinders Tuition Series to the website and   Spellbinders Class 5   is now available to purchase.

Thank you to every one who bought the other four classes and I hope you will enjoy this one as much and they are available for you to watch 24/7

Please read the instructions carefully so that you will be able to view the tutorial again and again whenever you wish.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Pretty in blue ...

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is created from a pale blue and layered up with several sets of dies from  Spellbinders.

I have used foam pads in between each layer to give more depth and I have inked through the oval layer with Faded Jeans Distress ink.

The pearls are from  Want2Scrap  and they surround the sentiment.  It is from a set that is made to fit the Labels Twenty die but who says that is the only way it can be used ??

The ribbon is from my "Stash" and the single flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts

The sentiment is from  JustRite Stampers   and contains many words that can be mixed and matched to say many things

Pretty Bows

Hi Everybody,

This week the ladies in my Card Class added some pretty bows to their cards and we used a 250 gsm card from the Papermill Direct  throughout

We used the  Sue Wilson Classic and Lattice 3-D bows and layered the two together

There is a whole selection of Sues' designs  available to you from   JGD Crafts

Both of these cards are lovely but once again they have gone for completely different color schemes

This time Mary has gone for the darker colors and Brenda has gone for the pale ones ... it's usually the other way round.

Mary has chosen the flowers that match the dots in the background paper and Brenda has gone for those that match the tiny bees on her paper.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts ... and don't forget that WOC have very kindly put together some starter packs which have flowers of  different sizes in them at a  really good price.

The flowers have been sparkled with Glitter Magic  to give an extra special look.

I think both cards look good and my ladies are doing really well with what they achieve each week.

More tomorrow ...
