Thankful For You

Hello there my crafty friends!  Teal, black and white for today's offering (I just love that colour combo!)  I started with a piece of teal card as my background and cut two of the Victoria die in white and cut them in half lengthwise, gluing the pieces to the upper and lower edge of the card.  I added a strip of white pearls along both edges to conceal the cut lines.  Next I cut the Classic Adorned Hexagon in white, backed it in white and cut the centre of it out to create a frame.  I used the Double Stitched Hexagons to create a thin black frame to sit at the inner edge of the frame.  I cut the centre of the Adorned Hexagon in white without the cutting edge and mounted it behind the white frame.  I added it to the centre of the card, allowing the teal backing card to show through.  I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with the centre hexagon shape and added it to the middle of the frame with foam.  Next I cut two of the Nasturtium Clusters in white.  I added the matching flowers inked in Peacock Feathers and offset two of the larger flowers in the middle of the cluster, also inked with Peacock Feathers.  I glued them into place along the edges to add a floral element to the card.  White, black and teal mats and layers and white flatback pearls were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  9 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Wishing You Lots Of Love

Good Sunday morning all!  Did I mention that I have lots of gingerbread men cards?  LOL   For today' card, I started by cutting the Lattice Ribbon die twice out of red and once out of white card.  I cut each of them down the centre and added a strip of card the same colour to create thinner ribbon strips.  I backed each of them with the same colour and added mounting foam to raise them.  I added them to a piece of white card, alternating the colours (you will have a left over red strip)  I cut the Snowflake edger icicle die and added Iced Snow to it then glued it along the top side of the background.  Next I cut the Gingerbread House in tan card.  I added a white roof, sides and chimney to it and dusted the edges with Iced Snow. I used the door when I cut it then added four white panels to it.   I cut a white backing for it, then with the door open, I stamped my sentiment on the inside of the door.  I added a holly above the door and two crossed candy canes to the side of the house.  I cut the Gingerbread Man die in tan and added some pink cheeks and tummy.  Red bow and buttons and white icing were also added.  White and red mats and layers were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x  7 1/2" in size.

Facing Angels Card

Hi crafters!  Today's card is a little bit of a naughty sneak, but sometimes you can get away with it. The silver mirror card is a tad bit more forgiving for this I think or perhaps it just takes your eye away from the die edge!  You will have to watch the video to see what I mean! LOL

The winner of this week's Wednesday Card Giveaway is:

Christmas Double Day

Hi bloggers!  Two completely different cards for our double day of Christmas!  First up is an almost romantic looking gold and white card.  I started with a piece of coconut white card for the background.  I cut four of the Poinsettia Clusters in white and added antique gold flowers to them.  I glued two across the top and two across the bottom of the card.  Next, I cut a wide strip of white card and embossed it with the Wild Poinsettia embossing folder.  I raised it with mounting foam and attached it across the centre of the card.  I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with the Pierced Flags die set, adding a gold mat for it by using the next size up in the set.  I added it across the centre of the card then made two sheer Poinsettias using vellum and the Classic Poinsettia die set.  I embellished the flowers with Berry boughs and Holly Swirls cut out of white card.  White and gold mats and layers were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.  Scroll down for card number two.

Card number two is a cheeky little gingerbread man card in a snowglobe.  I have loads of gingerbread cards to share (since he was the main feature in one of my Christmas shows).  For this card, I embossed a piece of coconut white card with the Poinsettia Trellis embossing folder for background texture.  I wrapped a piece of red crinkly edged organza ribbon around the card and taped the ends to the back.  I tied a double bow and added it to the right side with a white crystal sparkler in the centre.  Next I cut the frame from the Gingerbread Man die set in white and added a red backing then cut the centre out of it.  I added foam to the back to raise it and attached it over a Lattice Ribbon background with a white backing piece.  Inside the frame, I added a Snowglobe cut in brown with green holly sections.  I cut the gingerbread man in tan card and added him to the centre of the globe.  I decorated him with red and green bow and buttons and white icing pieces on his arms and legs.  I cut a little candy cane for his hand.  I added a rim of iced snow around the inside of the globe for a bit of bling.  White and red mats and layers were used to finish this card.  The finished dimensions are
7 1/4" x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
