Etsy Shop

Hi Everybody,

This lovely card is created with lilac Centura pearl and white card and is one I have added to my Etsy Shop.

It really is very pretty with all the embossing which is created from the Ornate Butterflies folder from  Crafters Companion

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and they are a mixture of Roses, Carnation, Chrysanthemum and Aster.

They have been sparkled with fine glitter from Glitter Magic  and I have added in Diamante from Want2Scrap

But the touch of luxury is the ribbon and Diamante buckle along the bottom of the card that is my finishing piece.

The swirl ribbon is from Reasonable Ribbon and is part of their monthly ribbon club.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

It's all white ...

Hi Everybody,

A card that is very simply an A4 cut  in half and a hinge added at the top giving me lots of space to dress it.

I have used the Tied Together embossing folder from Sunrise Crafts  and this is a folder that sells out time and time again.

The flowers are from a stamp from   Stamps by Chloe and the centres are little pearl clusters from Wild Orchid Crafts

But what I would like you to take a closer look at is the edge...

This is created using one of the Stitches dies from Tattered Lace  ... and there are six different stitches in the set

They make a very pretty look and as I use the others in the set I will be sure to show you.

And they save all that messing  about with a ruler and a Poky tool trying to get the edges straight and the corners to line up correctly .... pain!.

This will give to a  quick, clean and straight edge to your cards.

More tomorrow ...

Rose garden ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card uses just the matting basics sets and the small labels.

The Trellis card is from AnnaMarie Designs and I have used Diamante to stud the framework.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and they have the addition of fine glitter on them from Glitter Magic

The lovely sentiment is from Crafters Companion and is one of the Sentimentals range and there are lots of lovely words in whichever set you choose

I have embossed it in silver and then added Diamante from Want2Scrap  to the label

I hope you enjoy browsing the websites I have linked you to for some really pretty finds for all your cardmaking.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Letterpress ...

Hi Everybody,

This lovely card was created using the Letterpress Technique

On this particular card I have used Spun Sugar Distress Ink and the result is very subtle

The Diamante flourish is from Want2Scrap  ... and the ribbon is from my "Stash"

The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and they are perfect for this very feminine card.






You can use any embossing folder that you already have in your collection ... the list at the bottom is just to show you what I used for the  card at the top

Experiment with your folder as you will get a different look with the ink from each side ... and one may please you more than the other.

Have fun !

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Fancy cards ...

Hi Everybody,

This is a card I did quite some time ago and I am now being asked how to do it.

And so the video is added here to show the steps.

And the beauty of this is that it can be done from any die that you already have in your "Stash" that  has a fancy edge to it and you will get the same result.

This card is using the 5x7 Detailed Scallops and the card it creates is a nice size to add things to in layers.

I have created the hinge at the top but it could just as easily be hinged to make it landscape style.

This is a smaller card created from the Decorative Labels Eight but the effect is just as pretty.

Grab your cuppa and take time to relax ... and then enjoy making the card for yourself.

You may need to pass the card through your machine a couple of times to get the layer on the hinge to cut ... depending on which die cutter you use

But persevere and then gently ease it from the die and you will be delighted with the result.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
