Be Strong

Hi bloggers!  I started today's card by using a piece of black card and doing the suede techniqe with it.  To do this, you need to break up the fibres in he card by crushing, folding or using a crimper on it. Once the card is very soft, you can split the card and peel it into two pieces, giving the look of suede to it.  Next I used the In A While Crocodile stencil over it and used the Soft Grey Matt chalk polish through the stencil.  I stamped the Zebra stamp, then cut it out with the matching Zebra die.  I used Antique Linen and Tumbled Glass Distress markers to add shading to the zebra.  I stamped the sentiment on a piece of white vellum, then added it behind he zebra.  I stamped the Zebra one more time and just cut out the outer frame and added it with foam mounting tape then attached it to the background.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now.

Just Because

Hello crafters!  I used Pixie Powders to start the background for today's card.  I used Sun Yellow and Burnt Orange Pixies, then covered them with a piece of cling film and scrunched it up and let it dry.  Once dry, I removed the cling film and used the Graduated Dots embossing folder to add texture to the background.  I cut the Because Big Bold Word in black and glued it to the middle of the background.   Using the Double Stitched Rectangles, I added a thin white frame around the word.  I stamped the additions to the sentiment and cut them out with the tag dies, then added them above and below the main sentiment.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now.

Hi bloggers!  I started today's card by making a background using the Pixie Sparkles.  I tapped Beyond Blue, TealMarine and Fuchsia Rose Pixie Sparkles all over a piece of white card.  I allowed it to dry completely, then cut a piece of white card using the Large Circles Background and then added the pixied card behind it .
 I cut a thin frame using the Slimline  Essential Frames and added mounting foam to it and added it over the background.  I cut the Noble Thanks out of some of the leftover pixied card and mounted it on the shadow backing, then added it to the card with foam.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5"  x  9 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Birthday Wishes

Hi crafters!  I pulled out the alcohol inks for today's card.  I used Red Pepper, Sunset Orange and Flamingo alcohol inks on a piece of Silver Sparkle Alcohol ink card.  Next I used the Double Stitched Rectangles and cut two thin frames.  I added acetate to the smaller one, then added mounting foam to the backs of both of the frames and attached them to the background.  I made several of the Button Flowers in white in different sizes, glittered them and attached them in the lower corner of the smaller frame.  I added small pieces of the Magnolia Corner as accents.  I used the Wishes shadowed die/stamp combo cut in white with a white shadow and glued it across the acetate in the smaller frame.  I stamped the word Birthday and cut it out with the tag die and added it above the wishes die cut.  I used the Butterfly Delights die set and added several butterflies of varying sizes as accents.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Celebrate

Good Sunday morning all! Today's card is a really easy paper pieced card.  I started wih a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet added to it.  I peeled the backing paper off and coated it randomly with polished silk glitter in a host of colours.  I applied them on a diagonal just to give them a more windswept look to them.  Next I cut the Celebrate Big Bold word and cut it in white.  I glued the outline to the shadowed backing also in white.  Next I used the Celebrate Big Bold Word die to cut into the glittered card.  I removed all of the fall away pieces.   I glued the glittered letters back into the outline.  I mounted the entire word on a black backing to help make the words pop a bit more.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/"  x  8" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Congratulations

Hello bloggers!  I started with the background and used the Peacock Teal and Flamingo Pink watercolour inks randomly all over it.  Once dry, I embossed it with the Bed of Roses embossing folder.  Next I cut a multi-layered frame using the Postage Stamp Frames.  I used Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue and spread it with my finger across the centre of the card's background.  I added the frame with mounting foam, then sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz inside the frame area.  I stamped my sentiment then added a frame using the Safari Tags die set and glued it into the centre of the frame.  I made three glittered Button Flowers as accents and attached them in opposite corners.  I used the Magnolia Corner cut into pieces as accents around the flowers.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x 8 1/2" in size.  All for now.
