Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Three more shows to go ...

Hi Everybody,

Well I am down to the last three shows .... I think !!

Today there are two at 1 pm and 7 pm and then one more on Thursday at 6 pm and then off to Bristol.

I have a Spectrum Noir "Workshop" there on Saturday and that class is fully booked.

Then I am ready for home and the one thing I am really looking forward to is ..... a long hot bath !!

Hotels only have showers and I long to soak in a bubble bath and just relax .... heaven.

So here is another card from the C&C shows and I really like this one.  It is created with the  Delightful Foliage which is now sold out

It is pretty and girly with my usual pink, flowers, ribbons and pearls.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts 

The pretty gingham ribbon is from Mei Flower and blends with the design

And so I will close now and just add ...

More tomorrow ...

Wednesday Card Class

Hi Everybody,

You may remember that I told you  at the end of one class  my ladies had created a shaving foam background ready to be made into a card at the next class ...

Well here they are from last Wednesdays Class

This first one is Marys' and it is in lovely shade of lemon and peach from the Spectrum Noir refills

We have glittered the both background panels with Glitter Magic  and they look so sparkly.

Mary  has teamed hers with peach ribbon and layered it with peach card and  added in some lovely peach and orange flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts   and it looks fantastic.

Brenda has gone for purple and green with a hint of pink  and then sparkled the background in the same way

Her card has been teamed with white ribbon from  Mei Flower

Her choice of  WOC flowers is  lilacs and purples and it looks very opulent and the white panel is  embossed

Both have the addition of Hatpins pushed into the bows and I am so pleased with both cards ... and so are they

 Well done ladies you're doing great !!

More tomorrow ...

Fun Card ...

Hi Everybody,

This is a little fun card from the Create&Craft shows that has been featuring Spellbinders Victorian Collection this week.

The main bundle was launched on Friday and is now sold out. But there is a fantastic deal of 3 for the price of 2 due to last the rest of the week.

This card has used the centre die from the Bow Elegance and I have added in some fringing along the  bottom of the card.

The Bow Couture is used also along the centre of the card with a pearl centre.

This collection is exclusive to C&C for the next few weeks but I really don't know when it will be available in other place or countries.

If there is something that you would like from this wonderful collection then you will need to get your skates on as all of it is selling out quickly.

More tomorrow ...

Royal Circle ...

Hi Everybody,

The response to the new Victorian Collection by Spellbinders has been just amazing and I knew that you would love these dies as much as I do.

Here is another card from the show featuring the Royal Circle on top of the Victorian Medallions Three

They all work so beautifully together and I know you wont be disappointed when they get to you.

The whole collection of 85 dies has sold out today in the the two hour show with Nigel May ... and some of the single sets have also gone in the rest of the day.  

What a roller coaster of a ride this has been as these dies only launched worldwide last Friday and there was supposed to be enough for the whole week ... but nope they have gone.

They are exclusive to Create and Craft for three weeks so you wont be able to get them any where else until after that time

My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and any pearls and flourishes that I use are from Want2Scarp

The Glitter that I use is from Glitter Magic and that adds the sparkle to my flowers.

So off to watch Downton Abbey now after a long sand busy day  ... but there will be

More tomorrow ...

Heirloom Ovals ...

Hi Everybody,

This beautiful creation is one of the Victorian Collection from Spellbinders.

It has been shown on the Create and Craft show and is made using the Heirloom Ovals.

I absolutely love these dies as they are so much my style and I love all the pretty lace effects that they produce.

And in some flowers, ribbons and pearls and there you have not just a pretty card but a really good title for a blog name ..... YaaaY!!

I cannot name the brands I use on TV but these  flowers are  from Wild Orchid Crafts

They have the addition of Glitter Magic  and all the pearly bits are from Want2Scrap

Several cards have been given away on the shows and I really hope you will like them when they get to you.

So I am going to prepare for the 7pm show and chatting at present to some of the others guests that are on today.

Having a good time and enjoying myself ... see you later and of course I will be back tomorrow

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
