Thinking Of You

Hi there my crafty friends!  Here's a slimline beach gals card to share with you today.  I started today's card by inking a piece of white card with Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade Distress inks to get a sunny background.  I inked in a sort of circular manner leaving the center section a bit lighter.  I cut the Slimline Stitched Rectangles into a frame out of white card and added mounting foam to raise the frame.  I added it over the background.  I cut two palm trees in black from the Palm beach die set and added them coming in from the sides.  I cut the Beach Bather with the striped suit and coloured her with markers.  I cut the hat in red twice and cut the very center out with scissors then added it with mounting foam to the brim for a 3D look to it.  I added some sand to the bottom of the card and seated her on it with a pair of flip flops and a tropical drink. I used the Thinking of You sentiment, cut in black and glued to the top inside of the frame. The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 4 3/4"  x  9"  in size.  All for now Sue x

Just A Note To Say...

Hello crafters!  Today's bright floral creation started with cutting the Swirly Scrolls Background in white.  I backed it in white as well.  Next I cut the Rose Cluster twice with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card both times.  The white card was used to colour the images with markers.  Once coloured, I glued the black fully cut die cuts on top.  I arranged them on opposite sides of the card and added them with mounting foam.  I cut the Just A Note To Say... I'm Thinking Of  You in black and glued them to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  9 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hope Your Days Are Sunny & Bright

Hello bloggers!  The final post of th launch is showcasing the last of the three sentiments.  Introducing the "Hope Your Day is Sunny & Bright" sentiment.  I think this one works perfectly with the Beach bathers collection.  It has been done as a single die with two different fonts in it, giving it a more playful look.  For the final time I will implore you to leave a comment, let me know what you think of the collection maybe.  You will get your name into the drawing if you do.  Don't forget to check back on May 29th to see if your name was the one drawn out as the winner!  I hope that you have enjoyed it as much as I have!  All for now, Sue x

Wish You Were Here

Hello there my crafty friends!  The first of three sentiments in this release is the Wish You Were Here.  This die comes in two pieces for maximum versatility.  You can use the words by themselves or use them with an outer shadow die as I have done in this sample. Each word in the phrase is connected but you are free to use them in any configuration that you desire.  If you want to use them vertically, you can.  If you want to use them on two lines, you can.  I love that this sentiment can easily be rearranged to fit whatever your needs are for your project.  Don't forget to pop a comment on this post so you get the maximum amount of entries too.  The final post for the day will be online at 6pm.  Hope you can stop back by the blog then.  All for now, Sue x

Home Is Where Your Journey Begins

Hello crafters!  It's a bit early for autumnal cards but I thought I would share this one anyways!  I started today's card by cutting the window die out of white card.  I cut a piece of arctic blue card the same size as the window to use as the background for my scene.  From the Swing Tree set, I cut two of the trees out of tan card.  I added a tire swing to one of them.  I cut two clouds from the You Are My Sunshine set and added them behind the tree.  I cut the kite from the Garden Accessories die set in red and blue and added it above the other tree.  from the same set, I cut the fence die twice in white and added it across the front of the trees.  I added mounting foam to the back of the window die and attached it over the scene.  Using a piece of blue and white striped paper from the Dots 'N Stripes Paper Pad, I used it as wallpaper behind the window.  I cut a piece of white card for the bottom of the card and added two thin strips of white card between the join area.  I used the Home Is Where Your Journey Begins from the Milestone Wordie sheets and added it with mounting foam below the window.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 3/4" in size.  

Just a little note to let you know that I will be showcasing my latest release for summer, starting tomorrow morning and Sunday.  So no trivia this weekend, you get a reprieve!  Hope to see you then!  All for now. Sue x

Love

Hello bloggers!  I have a clean and simple card to share with you from the Romance collection.  I cut the Heart Background out of white card for the base of the card.  I cut the background out of Gloss White card a couple of times.  I used the fall away pieces from the gloss white die cuts and stacked the hearts onto the cut out hearts on the white die cut.  I paper pieced all the gloss white hearts back into the original background and used the extra hearts from the second cutting of it to stack them all over the background.  I cut a white frame using the Double Stitched Rectangles and added it over the background with mounting foam.  I cut the Love sentiment out of red card, then added it back into the die that I cut out of white card.  I cut a wide strip of card and glued it to it then added it across the lower part of the background, tucking the ends under the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8" in size.  All for now.
