Labels 20 on YouTube

Hi Everybody,

Another video out on YouTube for you today is this one

 Labels Twenty- Floral Card 

and it is using an older die from Spellbinders.

Labels Twenty is one of my all time favorites as it mixes will with lots of other shapes ...but sadly is now retired from Spellbinders website.

The Diamante "Bling" that matches this set is from Want2Scrap  They also sell this shape in Nestaboard which is a thicker alternative to the die cut to use on your designs

The other dies used in the making of this card are the Grate Effect   inside the frame and also the intricate  Mystical Embrace for the background

The little Architectural Accents have been multi cut and glued together for strength and then added in specific places to enhance the flowers.  The Leaves are from the older Foliage set. 

You could find these retired dies on Ebay or Amazon and you may need to search for them,  but I am using them because I have these older dies in my "stash"  and I don't want to waste my purchase 

My flowers are as always from Wild Orchid Crafts  and I have sparkled them with Gesso and Glitter 

More tomorrow ...

Cherish ...

Hi Everybody,

All the flowers and the dark green leaves on todays card are from Wild Orchid Crafts

I have added in a little resin Angel  (also from WOC)  just under the sentiment.

The flowers are in pretty shades of pink and of course they have been sparkled with Glitter.

But I achieved the delicate shade of pink by brushing on some pink Acrylic paint lightly on to the white flowers and leaving it to dry

At the bottom section I have used some Punchinella ... the sequin waste that can be bought in rolls  ... and I hot glued it in place under some torn paper

I cut ivy leaves and added them around the flowers and then tucked in some silver metal leaves to the display.

The dies used are 5x7  Matting Basics    to create my base card and then Classic Ovals has been used to cut a piece of card that has embossing paste pattern on it.

This is layered with the Scalloped Oval and then added to the card

Aperture card

Hi Everybody,

Here is the second card to be on YouTube this week and I hope you will enjoy this simple idea using circle dies.

This is the Circle Cut Out Card  and if you click the link it will take you to the video

I have used  two dies from the  Standard Circles   to create the frame

The sentiment is from Sevenhills Crafts and  is Painted Inspirations  from Altenew. There are lots of quotes on the stamp sheet.

The ribbon is from Mei Flower and the dotty card in dark blue is from AnnaMarie Designs

The buckle to the ribbon is from a selection at Wild Orchid Crafts

This is a quick and easy card to make and one that you could keep on one side as a stand by for those unexpected request for cards
