Card Class Contribution ...

Hi Everybody,

Last weeks card class had to be prepared the week before as we did a fun technique with some glue and of course we had to allow it to dry.

Mary went for the paler colors and Brenda the darker ones but I think that both cards look really pretty.


We used the   Scalloped Borders One   to create the layers and lined the insides with an embossed piece of card.

They have both added in one of the pearl sprays to their corsages and the flowers are from  Wild Orchid Crafts ... the bow centres are from WOC also

They have been sparkled with  Glitter Magic   and both have used ribbon that is from  Mei Flower 

And once again my lovely ladies have gone away with lovely cards and smiles to match.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Chocolate Box Bow ...

Hi Everybody,

I know that not everybody likes to add bows to their cards and if that is you then look away now ....

But for many of us they are the perfect  addition and for those that have  asked me how I tie them then this is just for you

This beautiful satin ribbon is from  Mei Flower   and it is so  soft and  ties like a dream.

I have used about a metre to get this double bow but experiment and see what you  come up with for the size of bows that you like.

The background is using the new Tied Together  die  from  JGD Crafts  and I love the pattern that it gives





The centre of the bow is covered with a pearl and diamanté sparkler from Wild Orchid Crafts  and I use a hot glue gun to hold them in place.

Lilac and White

Hi Everybody,

Another pretty card with the addition of the pearl flower sprays tucked into the corsage

The cards has been made in the Hinged Card  style  with the Scalloped Borders 

Along the bottom of the card I have added in the Ribbon Loops and the tutorial for that  was added the other day

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and they  always look good on any card ... sparkled as always with Glitter Magic

The layers to this are embossed to add extra texture and the lilac card from Hunkydory Crafts   is foiled with a silver stripe and looks very rich

The ribbon also has a silver thread running along each edge and it compliments the card perfectly and it is from Mei Flower  and they do it several colors.

The Spellbinders I have used are listed below

More tomorrow ...
