Tuesday Tutorial - Hemstitch Rectangles and Lace

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is a combination of more of the designs by Becca Feeken and I just love her Venice Lace collection. It is so delicate and intricate and simply my cup of tea.  So here I have used several of her dies and the card is quite pretty just as it is
Spellbinders Supplies:
  • S4-653 Jubilee Tags
  • S4-791 Isadora Trinkets
  • S4-789 Francesca Label
  • S5-308 Hemstitch Rectangles
  • PL-001 Platinum Die Cutting Machine
Other Supplies:
  • Glue
  • Foam Pads and foam sheet
  • White card from Papermill Direct
Instructions:
From the outside die of Hemstitched rectangles cut two pieces in white to create the base card
Cut another one in pink for a layer
With the two dies together cut one piece in white to leave the beautiful detail around the edge
From the largest label die cut a piece of designer paper
From the largest die from Isadora Trinkets cut two pieces in white
Add the hemstitched layer to the pink one and add all to the base card
With some foam sheet under the label add  this to the centre of the card front
With small pieces of foam pads under the filigree panels add them to the top of the designer label
Stamp the sentiment of your choice in black and heat emboss with clear powder.
Cut this out with the tag from the Jubilee collection
With foam tape under the tag add this top the centre of the card 

Pretty card ofr any occasion and really quick to make

Quick Card ...

Hi Everybody,

Just popping in today to show you a card that I made a while ago using some free stamps from Creative Stamping and some ink blending in the sky for an extra effect

It is quite bright and I think any six year old would be happy to get this.

I sued the numbers dies from Apple Blossom and the dragon was coloured with Spectrum Noir

I am in a bit of a rush today and so I don't have time to write a longer post but I will be back with

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Friday Freebie 28

Hi Everybody,

Here we are again with another Shabby Chic card on offer

This one is a Birthday card and the inside is lined.

It is a lilac and lemon colour way and the photo does it no justice at all.

It really is much better in the hand and I don't think you will be disappointed with it

If this is a card that you would like to have then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post.

Tomorrow a name will be chosen at random from those comment s and announced in the blog post
So as I always say if you add your name then be sure to come back and check if it is you who has won the card.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Sausage Dog ...

Hi Everybody,

This cute stamp is from Woodware

It is one I have had in my collection for quite some time.

I bought it on a whim at a craft show I visited and it has sat in my drawer ever since.

I thought it was time to put him to good use as I have a family birthday coming up soon and this will do very nicely

I coloured it in with Spectrum Noir pens going in no particular direction or colour scheme but the result is quite pleasant and it is a fun card.

I hope my recipient likes it 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
