Wishing You A Beautiful Day

Hi there my crafty friends!  I have a few more window cards to share with you.  For this one, I cut the Window die out of white card and added mounting foam to the back of it.  I cut a piece of cobalt blue card to use behind the window.  I added a small gloss white circle in the corner for a moon.  I cut the sleigh and reindeer in black and glued it across the moon.  I used the village scene from the Christmas Cottage Scenes die, cut in white, then glittered with Diamond White glitter, across the bottom of the window scene.  I cut a larger piece of white card and added a blue striped "wallpaper" at the bottom cut from the Dots 'N Stripes paper pad.  I taped the widow scene to the card, then added a cat sleeping on the window ledge.  I cut the Wishing You A Beautiful Day sentiment out of black gloss card and glued it below the window.  I cut the vase from the Windowsill Accessories set and added three red flowers, then glued it next to the sentiment.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Peace on Earth

Hello crafters!  For today's card, I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  next, I cut the Timeless Winter Snowflake about six times out of white card.  I laid each of the snowflakes down as close as possible to each other, without overlapping them.  I trimmed away the excess from the edges, then coated the piece with Diamond White Glitter.  I cut the Vintage Crystal Snowflake out of both black and silver mirror card.  I used the black die cut as an offset shadow behind the silver die cut.  I cut a thin frame using circles dies and added a white backing to the frame.  I cut the Peace on Earth sentiment in black and glued it inside the frame, then added it to the middle of the snowflake.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Peace

Hi bloggers!  Here is a clean and simple card using a die from last years Christmas release.  I started with a piece of antique gold card.  I used a swirl stamp and a clear Perfect Medium pad and stamped it all around the edge of the card.  Next, I cut the Peace sentiment die out of Gloss black card twice, silver card twice and once out of antique gold card.  I glued the black die cuts to the top and bottom of a piece of white card.  I added one layer of mounting foam to both of the silver die cuts then attached them to the card above and below the black die cuts.  The last Peace sentiment, I matted it with gold mirror card then added two layers of mounting foam and attached it to the very centre of the card.  I matted it with black gloss card and added it to the stamped background.  The card was completed with white, gold and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  9"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Peace

Hello bloggers!  I have a clean and simple snowflake card to share with you today.  I started by making a couple of pieces of Enchanted Sprinkles card to use.  I used the Stormy Skies and the Tidal Teal together and sprinkled them rather heavily onto a piece of white card.  Once dry, I ended up liking the back of the card so I decided to cut my Timeless Winter Snowflake die from the back side of the card.  I glued the snowflakes randomly all over the card and then trimmed away the excess from those snowflakes that went off the edges of the card.  I cut the Peace sentiment out of both gloss white and black card.  I shadowed the white die cut with the black die cut, then added it to a white shadow backing piece.  I added it to the card with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
