My little corner of Blogland where I can share my creations with you. There are many video tutorials as well as links to good quality websites for all your crafting needs.
Todays card is with red and white and I have created a heart for the centre of the design. Can you see the little Ladybirds on the heart ?
These are some that I have had for a long time and I sued them on several cards years ago, These are those that I have left and I have still more that I can use yet.
The Simply Dots background is created with an embossing folder and I have used some coloured stems from AnnaMarie Designs to add to the heart.
I have quite a few of these coloured stems in other colours and I have used them with Wax Seals on some cards.
I will film the process and show you the cards once they are made and they are very girly.
Many years ago I did some Air Dry Clay modelling and made loads of things for home décor.
I bought some decorative molds to use with the clay and I enjoyed playing with them. But they have now sat in a cupboard for quite some time and never ben used.
So I thought it may be a good idea to see if they could be used with the wax melts beads that I have got and the answer is YES !!! they do.
I used the Angel Wings mold and I was very pleased with the result. And I thought of lots of ways in which I could use them on my cards.
They make a beautiful addition to a new baby card as they are surely angels come back to earth.
I made some in pink and even more in a blue for a baby boy.
You can of course make them any colour you would like, and the silicone mold is so cheap to buy. It will last you for ever.
I did get some molds at the time that would make little picture frames and corners that could be added to a card but I have yet to find them.
They are in a tin somewhere ... I just don't know where ... yet !!
I also thought that the wings could be used to effect on a sympathy card and I kept the colours very muted for this one.
It is a DL card and I have embossed the background then matted and layered the white and navy blue togehter.
I know we don't like to make sympathy cards but at least this one is pretty as well as practical.
Well what a surprise to day ... the sun is shining and it really is very pleasant, after all that rain yesterday. Ruby and I will be going out later for a little walk, though it will be too muddy in the woods. We will stay on the promenade this time where it will be clean and dry.
