Friendship Card in Pink

Hi Everybody,

If you took part in the Sale over Sunday and Monday then ... Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, I am really glad that it went down so well. I hope that you got the dies that you wanted.  I offered them at a very fair price and I really hope you enjoy them as much as I did


This is a card my daughter asked me to make

She wanted four cards for her friends who have birthdays coming up in the next few weeks

This was her way of showing them how much she cares for them and appreciates their friendship

So I set too and made the cards complete with matching boxes and over the next few days she has given me her permission to show them to you.

They are all created in the  Hinged Style  which is truly my favorite way to make

They all have flowers, ribbons and pearls on them and they all have a Hatpin added too

They are all 5x7 cards and each one has a box

This is the first one in a pretty shade of pink and for this I have used 5x7 Detailed Scallops

I hand cut a smaller central patterned panel and on top of this I added Classic Scalloped Ovals

The sentiment has been written by PC onto Classic Ovals  and added with foam tape to raise it up

And here is a sneaky peak of the boxes that hold the other cards and I will show you the delights inside them

And please don't forget that there is a Birthday Give Away  open and if you would like to win the Goodies on offer then you need to become a follower and leave me a comment  and add your name to the list

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Tuesday Tutorial - Belly Band 1

Hi Everybody,

Have you bought one of the Belly Band dies from Spellbinders and now don't know what to do with it ??

Well hopefully this little tutorial will show you one way to use it.

I have done my card in pink and white

And on the small  Labels  I have stamped and embossed my sentiment and added it to the card

From #7 5x7 Matting Basics A cut two in white for the base and join these two pieces together as a Hinged Card Style

From #7 5x7 Matting Basics B cut one in pink  (#1 is always the smallest die)

Hand cut a piece of patterned card slightly smaller than the pink layer .. so that there is just a thin border around the edge

To this piece of card I have added #4 from Belly Band One

This will create an opening in the card for you and on each of the sides there will be a slot in the card

This is for you to thread some ribbon through and secure it on the back

Once you have glued the ribbon in place you need to add some glue  only to the areas that I have shaded ... don't stick the central part to the card as you need this open for the next step.

Layer this onto the pink layer and than all can be added to the base card

And you should now have the card looking like this with the channel still there for you to use

I have added some brown card to show you what I mean

So for the next part I have cut a solid base and a filigree panel from  Radiant Rectangles

If you don't have this particular die then use any of the rectangles that you have that will cut the solid piece too

Glue both of these pieces together

Once they are dry slot this card into the channel on the base card and decorate as you wish.

I added my card at a jaunty angle but you can add yours straight if you prefer.

It will be held in place by the Belly Band but you can add a little glue if you prefer.

Pretty card suitable for any occasion and leave off the flowers and ribbons for any male cards you make

The other ingredients for the card are Pearls from Want2Scrap
Ribbon from Mei Flower
Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
Glitter from Glitter Magic

Reminder ...

And just in case you missed it here is a reminder of the tutorial that was on Spellbinders Blog last week...  Especially For You  ... so two for the price of one today

More tomorrow ...

Yellow and Gray ...

Hi Everybody,

A few days ago ...  while I was showing you cards in my Yellow mood  ... someone said that they would like to see a card in Yellow and Gray

And so I got to work and made three using that color scheme.

This is the first of those cards and I must say that everyone I have shown this card to really likes the look too

The base card had been created with 5x7 Matting Basics A and B and layered  in gray and yellow

The Silver layer  is  Mystical Embrace  and this is a die cut that will cover most of the front of your 5x7 card

To the top of that I have layered  Royal Circle   and used #2 and #3 (#1 being the smallest)

The organza ribbon has been double wrapped around the layers and then everything added with foam tape to give dimension

The pearl flourish is from  Want2Scrap  and adds a real touch of luxury to the sentiment. The sentiment itself was Free with a magazine and it is proving to be such a useful one.

My flowers are a mixture of Yellow and White Roses, Carnations and Chrysanthemums and I must admit I really do like this card ... and I hope you do too

The sentiment is a stamp that was free with my magazine subscription to Simply Cards and Papercrafts  and is such a useful phrase to have

For Sale:

I have added more dies for sale to the page and you need to click the photo under the FOR SALE banner in the side bar to your right
