Sincere Thanks
Hi bloggers! I started by cutting the Tropical Background out of green card. I backed it with a white backing piece. Using the Round Corner Square die set, I made a multi-layered white frame. I added it over the background with mounting foam. I cut a small circle using the Double Stitched Circles. I added mounting foam to the back of it and attached a white backing piece to it, then added it to the middle of the card. Using the Layered Hibiscus die set, I made two flowers using shades of pink and attached them to the circular frame in opposite sides. I cut the Sincere Thanks sentiment and glued it inside the frame. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size.

Many Thanks
Hello crafters! I started with a piece of milk card and embossed it with the Tidal Sands embossing folder. Using the Round Corner Squares, I made a multi-layered frame with a wider milk card base and a thinner blush pink frame on top. I added it over the embossed background with mounting foam. I cut the Hazel die in milk card and attached it to the inside of the frame. Next I cut the Cora die out of two pieces of milk card and I used the bottom piece to colour the tiny flowers pink. I glued the pieces together and added it on top of the Hazel die. I cut the Many Thanks sentiment out of blush pink card and glued it to the middle of the Cora die. Using the French Marigold die set, I made a single dimensional flower, glittered it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and added it to the corner of the frame with two leaves as accents. The card was completed with milk mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size.

Just For You
Hello there my crafty friends! I started with a piece of white card and used the small paw prints from the Pet Pals Stamp set. First I stamped the paw print randomly all over the background in black. I used the Festive Berries Distress ink and stamped the paw print in red. I covered the piece with a sticky adhesive sheet then coated it with Frosted Sparkle Gitterbitz. I cut a circular frame using the Double Stitched Circles. I added mounting foam to the back of the frame and added it to a white backing piece. I added the frame to the centre of the card. I cut Buddy out of Slate Grey card and added his floppy ears, black sunglasses, a red flower and the envelope with a red heart on it. I added some red heart above him inside the frame. I cut the Just For You sentiment in black and added it to a white shadow backing piece then attached it under the frame. The card was completed with white, black and red mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8" in size.

Hello Friend
Hello there my crafty friends! For today's card, I cut a piece of white card and then glued the two Coronet Lace Borders that I cut in black. Next I cut the Noble Looped Ovals in black and attached it to the middle of the card. I used the Double Stitched Ovals and cut a white frame to fit just inside the edges of the Looped oval base. I added mounting foam to the back of the frame and attached it to a piece of black card. Using the Layered Tulips, I made five flowers in shades of yellow and orange and cut the leaves and stems in two shades of green card. I assembled the flowers then attached them to the inside of the frame. I cut the Hello Friend sentiment in black and added it to a whit shadow backing piece then attached it at the bottom section of the frame over the tulip stems. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 9 1/4" in size.

Sending Sunshine
Good Sunday morning all! I started with a piece of tan card for the background. I used the speckled stamp from the Sending Sunshine Stamp set and stamped it in black all around the edges of the card. Next I cleaned the stamp and stamped it with a clear Perfect Medium all over the edges of the card. I sprinkled gold embossing powder over it, then heated it to melt the embossing powder. I inked the edges with Black soot distress ink to shadow the edges. Using the Looped Rectangles, I cut one of the middle dies in white. I cut the next size down from that set in black and layered it on top of the white die cut. I cut the Cora die in both white and black card. I offset the black die cut behind the white one,
then added an antique gold backing piece. I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Sunshine stamp set and cut it out with the centre die in the Cora die set. I added it with mounting foam to the centre of the card. I made a single gold flower using the French Marigold die set and added it to the corner of the card with white leaves as accents. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 3/4" in size.

Just For You
Hello bloggers! I have a lovely clean and simple card to share with you today. I embossed a piece of white card with the Padded Quilt embossing folder. Next I cut the Layered Garden Rose in shades of red. I cut one large flower and one bud and assembled them. I cut the stems and leaves in shades of green. I assembled the single flower and bud and adhered it to the left side of the background. I cut the Just For You sentiment in black and glued it to a white shadow backing die cut. I added the sentiment with mounting foam to the lower right side of the card. I cut a larger piece of white card and glittered the edges with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size.

Wishes For A Beautiful Birthday
Hello there my crafty friends! I started with a piece of white card. I used the inner die from the Hazel die set and randomly cut it into the card all over. I covered another piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet and attached it behind the die cut sheet. I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz all over the remaining sticky areas. Next I cut the Hazel die with a piece of black card and a piece of white card underneath. I used the white embossed copy to colour the image with alcohol ink markers. I glued the black die cut on top, then used the inner oval die to cut the centre out of the die cut image. I added mounting foam to the back to raise it. I stamped my sentiment from the Sending Sunshine die set and added it to the die. I used clear micro beads on the centres of the flowers. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size.
