Guess Who Thinks You're Special

Hello bloggers!  Here's another bright and cheerful card for you!  I started today's card by embossing a piece of white card with the Quilted Heart Embossing folder.  Next, I cut a frame using the Double Stitched Ovals and added mounting foam to the back of it and seated it on a Looped Oval cut in white.  I added it to the middle of the embossed background with mounting foam.  Next I cut the Butterfly Cluster with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I used the white card to colour the design with markers.  Once coloured, I glued the black die cut on top.  I added it to the bottom of the frame with mounting foam.  I cut the  Guess Who Thinks You're Special sentiment out of black card and glued it inside the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now.

Wishing You A Day Full of Sunshine

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started today's card by cutting a piece of white card for the background.  I decided to sponge some Antique Linen distress ink on the bottom of the card for the look of sand.  Next I cut the Beach towel and the umbrella from the Beach accessories die set.  I cut the towel in white then added stripes of aqua card and ocean card.  I cut the umbrella out of ocean card, then added the sections of aqua to it and a white pole to it.  I cut the Beach Bather with the polka dotted swimsuit and coloured her with markers.  I did the beach hat by cutting the die two more times with a small piece of ocean card.  I hand cut around the brim on one and just the very centre of the hat on the other one.  I added the smaller part with mounting foam for the 3D look of the hat.  I cut the plane out of teal card an added the banner cut out of white card.  I used a fine tipped marker to trace the words on the banner.  I added the larger sun cut in white in the upper corner.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  7 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hello bloggers!  I selected a piece of custard card for the background to today's card.  Next I cut the Harper die twice out of white card.  I cut both of the die cuts in half lengthwise and glued them to the edges of the card.  Using Jamie's Postage Stamp Octagons, I cut a frame out of custard card.  I added mounting foam to the back of it and attached a piece of white card.  I added it to the centre of the card.  I cut the Hugs & Kisses sentiment out of both custard and black card.  I shadowed it with the black die cut and glued it inside the frame.  I cut three flowers using the String Flowers, added a black centre and added them to the bottom of the frame.  I added some white leaves as accents to the flowers.  The card was completed with white, black and custard mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hello fellow crafters!  It's time to relax on the beach again today! LOL  I started today's card by embossing a piece of white card with the Basketweave embossing folder.  Next, I cut the Fine Postage Stamp Oval die in white and added it to the background with mounting foam.  From the Beach Accessories die set, I cut the beach towel in white then added raspberry and bright yellow stripes to it by cutting strips and gluing them onto the white towel.  I added a beach bag and sunglasses to the beach towel and a few seashells below it.  I cut the Beach Bather with the floral swimsuit out of milk card.  I used markers to colour her suit.  I cut the die two more times, just using a small piece of bright yellow card for the hat.  I hand cut around the hat and glued it to the beach bather, then cut just the centre of the hat and added it with mounting foam for a 3D look.  I cut a palm tree from the Palm Beach die set and glued it next to the towel.

Miss You

Hi there my crafty friends!  I am using some of Jamie Rodger's dies for the background of today's card.  I started with a piece of background card from my craft stash that I created using Jamie's Enchanted Sprinkles in Tidal Teal.  I cut the background die out of his Striped Diamond die set using white card then glued them to the background.  In the middle, I cut the Jayne die out of the same piece of card that I made for the background.  I backed it in black and added it to the centre of the card.  I cut the Miss You sentiment in both white and black and shadowed it with the black die then glued it to the centre of the Jayne die.  I cut two flowers from the Dynamic Daisies die set, glittered them and attached them on the left side.  I added some leafy pieces in white to the top and bottom of the flowers as accents.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now. Sue x
