Dear Friend

Hello bloggers!  I started today's card by creating the background.  I used the Shaving foam technique using pixie powders.  You can see the demo if you click on the link at the top of the blog.  I used Midnight Blue, Candy Pink and Purple Violet Pixie Powders mixed into the shaving cream.  I cut the Butterfly Breeze Cover Plate in both white and black card.  I used the black die cut as an offset shadow behind the white die cut.  I glued it to the shaving foam background.  I cut the Dear Friend sentiment out of leftover card from the shaving cream background.  I cut the sentiment in black and used it as an offset shadow behind the other die cut.  I glued it on to the white part of the die cut.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5 3/4"  x  7"  in size.

Have A Magical Day

Hello crafters!  I started with a piece of white card and I cut a piece of slate grey card to go across the bottom of the card.  Next I cut a piece of sky blue card with a rounded side to it and glued it on top of the grey card. I inked the top of the card very lightly with Tumbled Glass distress ink.  I cut the Fish Shop out of aqua card and added the accents with ocean card. I added the building to the card and placed the delivery van and a lamppost next to it.  I added waves and a blue and white sailboat to the water.  I added several trees to the side of the pond.  I added several white clouds to the sky above the fish shop.  The Have A Magical Day sentiment was cut in black and glued to the top of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  7"  in size.

To You & Yours

Hi there my crafty friends!  For today's card, I used the card that I had cut some large trees from and I attached it to a piece of white card.  I used it as a mask and inked through with Forest Moss and Crushed Olive distress inks.  I inked the area below the trees to create a hill.  I covered the piece with some sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off and coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I cut the Corner Cottage out of arctic blue card.  I added a grey roof, door, windows and awnings to it and added it to the scene with mounting foam.  I cut some small trees and added them around the cottage.  I cut the To You & Yours sentiment in black and glued it to the top corner of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  9"  in size.

Have A Great Day

Hello bloggers!  I have a slimline card to share with you today!  I started by  creating the frame first.  I used the Slimline Stitched Rectangle Frame set.  I cut a white frame with them, then added a black frame on top using the Slimline Essential Frames.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame then cut a piece of white card to attach it to.  Before attaching the frame, I sponged some blue at the top of the piece, then cut three hills using the Stitched Hills and Clouds and added them to the bottom of the card.  I cut the Fish Shop in grey and added blue awning, door and sign.  I added it to the bottom of the card with mounting foam.  I added a lamppost next to it.  I cut both the Bookshop and the Flower shop in grey.  I used iris card for the windows, door and awning on the Book shop.  I used pink card for the accents on the flower shop.  I added the buildings with mounting foam, then added some trees and clouds around them as accents.  I added the Have A Great Day sentiment which was cut from the Wordie Sheets.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 43/4"  x 9"  in size.

May All Your Wishes Come True

Good Sunday morning all!  I cut a piece of white card and used the swirl stamp inked with a clear perfect Medium pad.  I stamped it all the way around the edges of the card then coated it with white detail embossing powder.  I heated it to melt the powder.  Next I used the Scalloped End Rectangle dies and cut a multi-layered frame.  I cut a wider white base and added a smaller aqua frame on top of it.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame then I embossed a piece of white card with the Diamond Illusion embossing folder and attached the frame to it, then added it to the middle of the card.  I cut the BookShop in aqua card and added windows, a door and the awning cut out of ocean card.  I added it to the inside of the frame and cut several trees and a lamppost to go next to the shop.  I stamped a little sun and cut it out by hand and added it in the corner of the frame.  I cut the May All Your Wishes Come True in black and glued it to the top of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 1/2"  in size.
