Hello there my crafty friends! I selected a piece of pixied card from my background stash. The piece was made using Lava Red and Candy Pink Pixie Powders. I cut the Loving Heart Frame about five times out of white card. I cut all of them in half from corner to corner. I attached them to the background starting with the pieces almost touching in the middle, then added the rest of them inside of the others to fill up the background. I trimmed them even with the edges. I cut two of the Looped Ovals in white and matted them. I added that to the middle of the card with mounting foam. I cut the You're Always In My Heart sentiment cut in black. I made two dimensional flowers using the extra dies from the Magnolia Corner. I glittered them and added them to the right corner of the sentiment and added white leaves as accents. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Witching You A Happy Halloween
Hello bloggers! I selected a piece pixied card to use for the background. It was made using Midnight Blue Pixie Powder. I cut the Frankie's Frame out of both white and black, leaving a wide border around the white die cut. I nipped the Frankenstein out of the die then glued it to the blue pixied background. I nipped away the haunted house and bats from the black die cut and glued them over the white ones. I cut the witch from the Trick Or Treaters die set out of milk card. I coloured her hair, dress, hat and shoes with a black marker. I added a broom to her hand and added her to the side of the frame. I cut the sentiment from the Witching Hour die set in white and glued it to the middle of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers.

Merry Christmas
Hi there my crafty friends! For today's card, I started with a piece of white card. I cut two thin strips of antique gold card and matted them om to a wider black strip then glued them to the sides of the background. I cut the Stained Glass Poinsettia outer frame in both antique gold and black card. I offset the black die cut behind the gold one. I cut the centre die out of black and matted it with a piece of white card. I attached this piece to the outer decorative frame. I cut the Poinsettia die in white and added a piece of clear acetate to the back. I added glue to the sections and filled it in with polished silk glitters, starting with the darkest colours first. I let it dry overnight then added it to the centre of the card. I cut the Merry Christmas out of the Christmas Wordie sheets and added it above the focal element. The card was completed with white, black and gold mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Merry Christmas
Hello bloggers! I thought I would share one more card from the latest release. I started with a piece of white card and embossed it with the Falling Snow embossing folder. I cut a wide strip of white card and used an embossing board to add a lined bottom to the card. I added a strip of red card between the two pieces. I cut the Poinsettia Banner out of green card. I added the banner in white and I had already stamped the sentiment before cutting it. I added two gold scrolls above and below it then added two red poinsettias with gold centres. I used mounting foam to add it to the top of the card. I cut one more of the poinsettias in red and cut the Bauble Branch die cut in gold and added both of them to the bottom of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Happy Anniversary
Good Sunday morning all! I selected a piece from my background stash to use for today's card. I created it by using Aqua Lagoon and Teal Marine Pixie Powders on a piece of white gloss card then I covered it with some cling film and allowed it to dry overnight. I cut two of the Draped Jewelled Border in white and glued them to the top and bottom of the Pixied card. I used the Round Corner Squares and cut a white frame. I added it over the pixied card using foam mounting tape. I cut the Happy Anniversary sentiment in black and added it to a white shadow backing die. I attached it to the centre of the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Christmas Wishes
Hello there my crafty friends! I have a monochromatic card to share with you today. I started by cutting the Stained Glass Rectangles in white as the background. Next I cut the Stained Glass Candle outer frame in black. I added the middle die and cut it in white. I cut the Candle die in silver and black card. I shadowed it with the black die by slightly offsetting it. I cut a piece of white card covered with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing paper off and coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and cut it to fit behind the candle die. I layered all the pieces up and attached them to the background. I cut the Christmas Wishes out of the Christmas Wordie black background sheets and added it above the focal die. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
