Best Wishes

Hello bloggers!  I selected a piece of white card and used the Stained Glass Maple Leaves centre die to randomly cut into the card all over.  I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet then added the background to it.  I trimmed it and then coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I cut the middle die from the set in black and added it with mounting foam to the top of the card.  I cut the Maple Leaves in black and added a white backing piece to it.  I used the Crystal Tints on the leaves to give them colour.  I have to admit that I was a bit messy and got some on the backing piece so I cut the die again in white and paper pieced the backing into the design.  I used a soft blue pencil to add some shadow to it.  I cut the Noble best Wishes sentiment in black and glued it to the bottom of the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Just Because

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I cut Buddy from the Pet Pal collection in tan card.  I added his floppy ears and put sunglasses on him.  I cut the envelope in white and added a red heart to it then put it in his mouth.  I added a small red flower to his tail.  I cut a piece of white card and added strips of the Monochrome Paper Pad to the top and bottom edges of the card.  I added a thin black strip across both sides.  I attached Buddy on the right then added the Just Because sentiment cut in black and several red hearts.  The card was completed with white, red and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Season's Greetings

 I started this card by cutting the Ornate Adornment Border die into the bottom of a piece of white card.  I backed it with a piece of Ruby Red card.  Using the Poinsettia from the Poinsettia Corner die, I cut three of them in red.  I cut leaves for each of them in green and then added two flowers in the upper corner and one in the opposite corner.  I cut the Season's Greetings sentiment out of silver sparkle card and glued it in the middle of the card.  The card was completed with white and red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Birthday Wishes

 Hello crafters!  I started today's card by cutting an aperture in the middle of a piece of white card using the Art Deco Ornate Tile die.  Next I embossed it with the Tidal Sands Embossing folder.   I added mounting foam to the back of the embossed piece to raise it and added it to a piece of deep purple card.   Next I cut the Art Deco Fan Border out of black card and I extended it to make a longer border.  I cut the border down the middle to make two separate borders.  I cut two long thin pieces of black  card and glued them to the cut sides of the border.  I glued the two borders to each side of the card.  Using the Art Deco Ornate Tile die, I cut it out of wisteria card.  I cut the die again but out of black card this time.  I shadowed the wisteria die with it then added it to the centre of the card recessing it into the aperture.  I cut the Art Deco Birthday Wishes out of white and black card.  I shadowed it then glued it to the middle of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Congratulations

 Hi bloggers!  I started today's card by cutting the outer die from the Stained Glass Sunflower twice, once in Cobalt blue and once in black.  I offset the two colours of the outer die, then cut the middle die in white and layered it up on top.  I cut the Sunflower die out of a piece of black card and added a white backing piece to it.  I cut the die again out of cobalt blue and green card and used the fall away pieces and paper pieced it back in place.  I cut the die in white and used it for the background pieces of the die.  I added glue to the flower centres and sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on it.  I layered it up on to the middle of the card.  I cut the Ornate Lattice Border out of cobalt blue and shadowed it in black then glued it to the bottom of the card.  I cut the Congratulations sentiment in black and glued it above the border.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 1/4" in size.

Birthday Wishes

Hello crafters! I started today's card by cutting a bunch of half inch wide strips of card of three different colours.  I laid the strips down on to a piece of copy paper covered with a sticky adheisve sheet, alternating the colours.  Then I cut that piece,in the other direction, into half inch strips so that each strip had lettle sections of each of the colours.  I covered another piece of copy paper with a sticky adheisve sheet and added the strips onto the sheet offsetting the colours by a row every other time.  Next I cut two of the Decorative Hearts in white.  I added them to the background, slightly overlapping them.  I cut Milo in brown and added his ear with a flower on it.  I added his blanket to his back and put a pink envelope in his mouth.  I cut the Birthday Wishes out of raspberry card and shadowed it with black then glued it to tje heart on the left.  I added Milo to the other heart and then cut small hearts out of raspberry card and glued them around the heart.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4"  x  9 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

For You

Good Sunday morning all!  I embossed a piece of black card with the Padded Quilt Embossing Folder.  I matted it in black and antique gold.  Using the Art Deco Grand Labels, I cut the largest label out of antique gold card and added a silver sparkle card backing piece to it.  I added it to the middle of the card with mounting foam.  I cut two of the smaller labels in that set to match with antique gold card and backed in silver sparkle card.  I added them above and below the larger label die.  I cut the Art Deco For You sentiment out of black gloss card and glued it to the centre die cut.  The card was completed with white, black and antique gold mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  9" in size.  All for now Sue x
