Simon Says Stamps - Summer Time

Hi Everybody,

The "Summer Time" die is one of the latest from Simon Says Stamps and is part of their

 Sending Sunshine Collection

For this card I have blended two Distress Oxide Inks ... Worn Lipstick and Wilted Violet onto my panel and then spattered it with water

The butterflies, flowers and leaves are from a die set that was free with
Simply Cards & Papercraft - Butterfly Dreams

I have added pearls along the body line of the butterflies and I think the result is quite a pleasant card

Add a birthday greeting and its ready to go

Quick and easy are very pretty

Crafti Potential Words - Wishes

Hi Everybody,

I wanted to share with you some of the new dies from Crafti Potential and the ways in which you can use it.

There are 12 different words and lots of additional sentiments in each set for you to personalise your own designs.

Each word is big enough to make a statement on your cards  and yet the letters are separate.

 But because you are adding them to a backing piece there can be no mistake about where each one goes.

I love to use large words as my focal point and I add them to a Vellum back for a cool effect.

6x6 Collection - Blue & White Corner Card, Stand & Box

Hi Everybody,

This lovely blue and white creation is made using the 6x6 Collection

In this video I have tried to show you how you can make the little corner die work for you.

I am really pleased with the way this one turned out and I hope you will like it too.

The blue card is from Papermill Direct and is my favourite shade called Marine Blue, and it teams really well with bright white.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and are a mix of two shades of blue Roses, Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Tulips and white Gypsophila. You don't need many flowers to make a really pretty display and I matched them on the box too.
