Thinking Of You

Hello bloggers!  I started today's card by selecting a piece of decorative paper from the Nautical Adventures Paper Pad.  I used a piece of striped paper for the top of the background, then added a solid blue to the bottom with a piece of white across the join area.  I cut the Window die out of white card. Then I used a piece of arctic blue card for the background inside the window and filled the window scene with three baskets filled with fall pumpkins, leaves and wheat sprays from the Autumn Scene die set.  I added a bare tree from the Swing Tree die set in the background with the odd leaf or two left on it and a sun in the upper corner from the Rain or Shine die set.  I added the window over the outdoor scene with mounting foam.  I cut the Thinking of You sentiment cut in navy blue and added it to a white shadow backing piece.  I attached it under the window with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Just For You

Hello bloggers!  I have an easy heart card to share with you today.  I started by cutting three of the Heart Wreath die out of white card.  I glued them vertically to a wide strip of black card.  I paper pieced them by cutting the Heart Wreath three times out of raspberry card and using the fall away hearts from them and putting them back into place in the three white hearts.  I added a raspberry mat behind the black strip then added it to a wider piece of white card.  I cut the Just For You sentiment in white, then nipping the words apart. I glued each word in the hearts going downward.  The card was completed with white, raspberry and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now.

Happy Spring

Hello crafters!  I love making this kind of card as it gives me a chance to use up some of my scrap pieces of card!  I selected four pastel colours from my scrap pile and cut them into one inch strips.  I aligned them across a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet adhered to it.  I used aqua, custard, lilac and pale pink.  I repeated several of them as I went across.  Next, I cut two consecutive sizes of the Looped Rectangles in white and layered them up together.  I added them to the middle of the background with mounting foam.  I cut the Happy Spring sentiment out of all four colours used in the background and glued them to the middle of the top looped rectangle die.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.   The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x 8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

From Me To You

Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of arctic blue card to use as the background for today's card. I used the outer die from the Jayne die and cut an aperture in the top of the card.  I filled it in with a white die cut, then proceeded to cut the inner parts of the die in arctic blue. I backed them in white and cut the centre out.  I added mounting foam to raise it and attached it to the top of the card.  I cut the From Me To You sentiment in both blue and black and shadowed it.  I glued it to the centre of the Jayne die.  For the bottom of the card, I cut the Snowflake Scalloped Border die out of white and nipped away the snowflakes from the top of the large scallops. I cut the thin scalloped piece in blue and glued it to the top portion of the die cut.  I added it at the bottom of the card.  Using the Rose Corner, I cut two of them with two pieces of white card.  I used the bottom piece of white card to colour both of the images then I glued the die cut on top and added them to either side of the border as accents.  The card was completed with white and arctic blue mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Gone Fishing

Hello bloggers!  Today's card started with the background where I cut a whole bunch of the Gone Fishing sentiments in black and added them to a piece of milk card with a sticky adhesive sheet added to it.  I arranged them randomly all over the background, then used Diamond white glitter on the remaining sticky areas.  Next, I cut the Fishing Frame out of tan card,  I used a fine tipped pen to add in the wood line and details.  I used markers to colour the fishing basket, cattails, fishing pole.  I cut the frame a second time in white just where the fishing net was and hand cut it out.  I coloured the handle and top of the net then added it to the top of the card.  I used mounting foam to add the frame to the background.  The card was completed with milk and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6"  x  7"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Especially For You

Hello there my crafty friends!  For today's card I started  by cutting the Stitched Starburst die in white and backing it with another piece of white card.  Next I cut the Budding Blooms die with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  The top die cut completely and the bottom white card just embossed the design into it so I used that to colour the image.  I chose a palette of soft pink and cornflower blue with forest green for the leaves and vines.  I used a soft white pencil to add highlights to the flowers.  I glued the black die cut over the top, then added it to the centre of the card with mounting foam.  I cut the Especially For You sentiment in white and glued it to the top of the Budding Blooms die.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8" in size.  All for now.

You're Egg-stra Special

Hello bloggers!  I started today's card by embossing a piece of white card with the Padded Quilt embossing folder.  I cut it on the diagonal and added a piece of pale pink card to the bottom.  I cut a thin strip of white card and glued it across the join area.  I cut the outer die from the Stained Glass Tulip Egg out of pale pink and attached it to the top of the card with mounting foam.  Next I cut the Tulip egg out of white card and added it to a white backing base piece.  Next I cut the egg die several more times out of custard, lilac, arctic blue, soft pink and green card and used the pieces to paper piece them back into the egg.  I glittered a piece of white card and cut it and used that as the background within the egg.  For the lower part of the card, I cut the You're Egg-stra Special sentiment in white and glued it to the bottom.  I added a potted flower from the Chunky Blossoms die set and several small Easter eggs from the Easter Essentials die set on the other side as accents.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
