Just Because

Hello crafters!  Here's another sample from the March release, I just love the brilliant blue background!  I started with a piece of pixie Powdered card using Midnight Blue and Purple Violet powders on it.  I used the Button Flower Floral Panels and cut the two side panels into the card using the leafy panel.  I added a white vellum backing to them.  I cut the centre panel once out of white card, once out of black card and once out of the leftover pixied powdered card.  I nipped the flowers out of the blue panel and glued them on top of the white panel.  I added an offset black panel to it as a shadow.  I cut the outer frame from the set out of both white and black and offset the black one as a shadow.  I layered up the Button Flower panel with the frame then added it to the centre of the card with mounting foam.  I cut the Just Because sentiment in black twice and stacked them, then glued it in the upper right corner.  I added three small white butterflies as accents.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

  2. Ohhh beautiful. I could spend all day just looking at a piece of cardstock covered in these amazing shades of pixies it's so vibrant and inviting.
    Any ideas on what to do with 4 carrier bags rammed with 'bits' 3 massive plastic storage bins full 'bits' and 3 smaller plastic bins rammed full, I have more 'bits' than A4 cardstock and it's been slowly mounting up for 10 years!! The guilt I'll feel adding it to the recycle bin will be enormous 🥺
    Hope everyone is feeling well or better than they did, keep safe, off to get jabbed with number 4 later xxx

  17. Morning Sue - one of my favourite colours - stunning! And I never remember that many of your dies can be cut into, rather than out of, card - so thank you for the reminder! Take care, Colleen xx

  19. Hi Sue

    Gorgeous card. Love the vibrancy of the blue and purple pixie powders you’ve used. Also the button flower floral panels look adorable in white against the background.

    Steph, what about donating your stash of bits to your local hospice maybe? I’m sure they’d appreciate it.

    Love Helen xxx

    A beautiful card and I love the blue background. Have not
    used my pixies for a while so should dig them out and try
    to get the backgrounds looking like yours.

  30. Hi Sue. This is a perfect example of why we need to see ideas for all the different ways you have imagined the dies could be used as I wouldn't have thought of this and it is so effective. Thank you for sharing.

I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $1000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
