My little corner of Blogland where I can share my creations with you. There are many video tutorials as well as links to good quality websites for all your crafting needs.
I bought mine from Make The Day Special and they have all the latest stamps and dies from many many companies.
I thought that this turned out to be quite a striking card and is just another way to use up all these playtime sheets I made with the Brushos and using dies that I already have in my "Stash"
And the heart that was cut out has gone on to make another pretty card but with a different sentiment.
I bought my set from Make the Day Special and is Grand Greetings by My Favorite Things
There are four useful phrases on the sheet and they are quite large stamps
I hope you enjoy the video and will pop back again as there is a lot more to come
The offer for the beads went very well and they went like hot cakes. I ended up sending out 30 packs altogether ... with a little extra gift from me inside each one ... and they have been sent to Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and all over the UK Please let me know when they arrive with you and I hope you enjoy the packages
Some of you said you would like some but didn't give me your address ... so sorry you missed out and you are now too late they have all gone.
Todays card is one of the new additions to the Spellbinders range and this is the Decorated Birthday.
The die cuts the whole shape of the card for you and all you have to do is fold and decorate it. I chose to use the flowers die that is in the set and I am happy with the result.
Lay the main part to the die cutting edge down into the correct side of your card and cut and emboss and remove from the die.
Carefully fold the card along the scored lines left by the die starting at the front. Mountain fold the first two and valley fold the second two. Mountain fold the top part to the card and also waht will create the back of it. Your card should now look like the photo.
Cut the Happy Birthday section from some card of your choice and carefully remove from the die. I sued spray adhesive on the back of mine and pressed it into place on the front panel
Cut the flowers and leaves ... I chose to cut mine in white and then ink with Distress Inks using a sponge dauber. layer the parts to the flowers and add a corresponding leaf to the back of each one.
I added a pearl to the centre of each flower too. I have inked the crown with Gold but you could simply cut it from gold card
Space the flowers and leaves onto your card and add the crown at a jaunty angel to the top of the sentiment panel
Flowers are always such a pleasure to receive for any occasion and I don't know any woman that would turn her nose up at such a gift. They are so beautiful and can fill your room with the most wonderful perfume.
This beautiful bouquet was sent to me from Appleyard London and they are a luxury flower company based in he UK.
The bouquet I have here is the Peach Garden Rose and the flowers are simply gorgeous.
Now did you know that the 4th October is Grandparents Day ... so now is the time to start dropping hints to your brood that you would like to have some flowers ... real ones and not the kind that we add to our cards!!

Having a Score Board in your crafting tools is not a luxury but something that is really essential if you want to fold good looking cards.
It will help you to get the professional scoring and folding in all your card bases with out any of the untidy lines and cracked card that can happen when you try to fold the card yourself.
The Eazi Score is made by a UK company called Diamond Card Craft and there is also a larger board that will help you to make boxes of different shapes and sizes
