Friday Freebie - Seashells by the Sea shore

Hi Everybody,

This really lovely embossing folder will cut out a shape for you ate the same time.

There is also a separate die set with "Birthday Wishes" and a stamp that says "Sending Oceans of Love"

So lots of variety there for you to create your cards, and inside the magazine you will find lots more inspiration for how to use your set. 

I am sure that you will have fun playing with this set and so if you would like to win this then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME 

You must make sure to come back and check if your name is shown as the winner as I have no way to contact you if you don't claim it. In that event it will be offered again at a later date.

The magazine is a good read so grab a cuppa as you settle down to relax and have some ME time.

Monogrammed Cards

Hi Everybody,

I have covered monochrome cards in the past where they have been just one colour for the whole card, but today I am sharing monogrammed cards using just one letter.

This one is for my eldest daughter Amanda and the other is for my youngest daughter Victoria. And I thought it was an excellent way to use  those Alphabet dies on smaller cards.

I am really pleased with the result and I am sure your recipient would be too.

I have used the solid letters and then covered them with the filigree overlays to give a lovely delicate feel to the letter.

 

You can use any flowers, leaves or shape to the background that you have in your own stash.

And the same with the embossing folders, just use any that you have. 

If you wanted to make a larger card and you also have the lower case alphabets then you can spell out the complete name

Altenew Flowers

Hi Everybody,

This is a stamp set that I have used often in the past and it is the Whimsical Flowers  Stamp & Die set from Altenew.

I have had this a long time and I have teamed it with my on dies from the Rose Flourish die set.

I have also used the Simply Dots embossing folder for the background and the sentiment strip is from the Butterflies paper pack that was released  a little while ago.

So no matter what you have in your own stash it will all work well with something else, all you need to do is paly and experiment to see what you come up with.

And if you don't like the result then it is only card and paper and a little bit of ink. 

I no longer get the monthly kits from Altenew as the postage cost became far too high. But I have lots from the past that I can still use and make lovely cards with.

Michele Coffey - Winner

 Hi Everybody,

What a gorgeous day it is here in the North West and a lovely day for walking, which of course Ruby will love. The beach is usually quiet at this time of year and Ruby a have a good run around. It's not very often we go down there and the tide is in and so it is always much too far away for her to go in the sea. And when she does I always bath her when we get home again.

So the draw for the Christmas Cheer die and stamp set has been done and this is well worth having to fill out your personal collections. The winner this week is

Michele Coffey
