Pretty Feathers

Hi Everybody,

This card is created with some of the feathers that are from Spellbinders and they are on the front of a 5x7 card so you can see that they are quite large.

I stencilled the background to blend in with them and the die itself is in two parts.

I cut the solid piece from pink and layered the black filigree piece cut three times and stacked together over the top.

This gave me lovely deep feathers to add to my card.

The sentiment is from a stamp that was with a magazine and it just sat very neatly at the bottom of the card.

Backing the panel onto black card gave me a thin borer around the edge that tied everything together and then I added them to a white tent fold base.

Change the colours and this would be ideal for male cards and quite a good look too.

 Not too masculine but more than suitable

More tomorrow ...

Another fancy Border Die .... and some news !

Hi Everybody,

I am loving these new border dies and not just as borders either.

For this card I have cut the border three times from the same colour card and then added it to a white panel

I fussy cut around the panel and then added it to an inked lilac base with foam pads to raise it up.

It really stands out from the card and then I dressed it with a pearl flourish  The flowers have been glittered as I like to do them and they sparkle in the light as the card is turned.

I cut my sentiment from black card four times and stacked them up to give a really deep effect on the parchment base and I do like this card.

Some News ...

It has been quite some time since I was on your TV screens but the news is that I will be back and in the very near future

The New 5x7 Card & Box Die Set

Hi Everybody,

Today I am using the new version of the 5x7 card and box die set and with this new set the Trellis die is included in the box.

So now you have everything you need to make a beautiful card with the fancy trellis work and the box to put it in.

This one has used the trellis as a stencil to decorate the front of the card and both panels to the box to tie them together.

The finished card look really pretty and is prefect to give for a birthday or any other occasion you may have coming up

I used the layering dies  from the set to line the inside and the verse is from the Verses set that came out last year.

So I hope you enjoy the video and will give this card a try, and then give it to someone you love for their special day

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
