Mixed Media Card

Hi Everybody,

Today's card is created with the Layered Florals  stamps and die set to make the pretty flowers that are added to the front.

The background is stencilled with the Flourish  first with inks and then with texture paste to make the swirls 

The large Hello is stamped and the small banner is made with the Dymo printer that I have

I added some sequins for a little extra sparkle and the card is ready to send.

It is reasonably flat enough so why not   make an envelope   and stencil the front to match the card.

Change the occasion and it would be suitable for anything. Altogether a bright and cheerful card

More tomorrow ...

Card & Gift Winner

Hi Everybody,

My apologies for no blog post yesterday but at present I have got the builders in to make things ready for my log burner and I will add the photos when it is completed, 

But there has been so much banging and drilling going on it has been impossible to film or do much work and the dust is everywhere. I was warned it was very messy so I did know it would be like this.

Anyway the draw has been done and the winner of the last Friday Freebie is ...

Sharon Brand

For You from Card Making Magic

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card has used one of the Ribbon Threader dies from Card making Magic  which are all available at Craft Stash

There are four different patterns for you to use  in the one pack.

They give such a lovely effect to your designs and with four ribbon threaders to choose from you can vary the look each time you use them. 

I have added some mulberry flowers to the bottom and sprinkled them with glitter for added sparkle

Around the flowers I have added some Tear Drop Diamante

Altogether a really special card and by varying the colours you can achieve another look to the cards you create.

Textured background

Hi Everybody,

The background to the Oval shape has been created with white card and the Spring Summer Die and Stamp set.

The die cuts have been simply added to the card and give a beautiful patterned back drop to the stamps and coloured flowers

I have water coloured the flowers and then added the oval to the front with foam tape underneath to raise it up.

The design offers a different look to your cards in a very elegant way and is quick and easy to do as it is just die cutting all the leaves and adding them to your card.

You can use your favourite medium to create your stamped flowers and use one of the smaller ovals to cut it out and add to the main oval. Change the colours to suit your recipient and send with love.
