For You

 Hi there my crafty friends!  First of all, I need to apologise as this card got damaged before I was able to photograph it, but I thought it was a pretty card so I wanted to share it with you, but you can see it has some waviness to the top piece of card.   I started with a piece of Antique Gold card and used the Art Deco Rosette to cut into the card.  I backed it with a piece of pixied card that was created using the Midnight Blue Pixie Powder on white gloss card then covered with a piece of cling film.  I cut the centre of the die out of the pixied card and added it to the centre of the card. I cut the Art Deco For You sentiment out of gold card.  I used the extra piece from the Art Deco Ornate Labels to add to the corners.  I cut them out of the pixied card and backed them in gold and glued them into the four corners.   The card was completed with white and gold mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Love Peace Joy

Hello there my crafty friends!  I cut the Christmas Angel 2023 in milk card and antique gold card.  I coloured the hair, face and hands then cut the dress off of the antique gold die cut and glued it onto the milk die cut base.  I added the decorative accents to her dress out of black gloss card.  I cut the wings out of vellum and glued them to the angel.  I cut the Stained Glass Candle outer die out of both white and black card.  I shadowed the white die cut with the black one, then added the angel to it.  I added some gold and black stars randomly to the background.  I cut the Love Peace Joy sentiment from the Christmas Wordie sheets and added it above the angel.  I used the Double Stitched Rectangles and added a black gloss frame over an antique gold background and attached the angel with mounting foam inside the frame.  The card was completed with white, black and antique gold mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2"  in size.

Ghoulish Greetings

 Hi bloggers!  You may recall that I recently used a piece of pixied card that my grandkids made.  Well this card uses the other half of that pixied card.  It was created using Aqua Lagoon, Midnight Blue and Midnight Sky Pixie Powders.  I cut the Frankie's Frame in black.  I nipped Frankie out of the frame and added the pixied background to it.  I cut the frame again but in white this time and nipped the ghosts out of the frame and glued them onto the black die cut frame.  I added Black Onyx glitter to the bats and I cut a black frame using the Double Stitched Rectangles and I glittered that frame with Black Onyx glitter too.  I cut the Ghoulish Greetings in black and glued it inside the frame.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are ???? in size.  All for now, Sue x

Season's Greetings

Hello crafters!  I just love the non traditional colours of today's card, hope it appeals to you too!  I started by cutting three oval frames in white using the Double Stitched Ovals.  I embossed a piece of white card with the Falling Snow Embossing Folder.  I added mounting foam to the back of each of the three oval frames and attached them to the embossed card.  I cut them to match the ovals and added them all to another piece of white card in a row.  I cut the small tree from the Snowflake Tree-O die set out of antique gold card three times, but I backed each one with a different jewel tone card.   I used teal, raspberry and amethyst card.  I added the trees to the frames using mounting foam.  I cut a poinsettia out of the Classic Poinsettia die set using each of the three jewel tones of card.  I added the amethyst and raspberry flowers to the left side of the card and the teal flower to the right side of the card.  I cut the Season's Greetings sentiment out of antique gold card and glued it between the three flowers.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  11 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Birthday Wishes

Good Sunday morning all! I cut the Art Deco Oval Frame out of gold mirror card.  I covered a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet then peeled the backing paper off and coated it with Spiced Honey Gilding Flakes.  I used a piece of Rubitscrubit pad to move the flakes around and remove the excess flakes.  I added the die on top of the gilded flakes and trimmed it even with the edges.  I cut the smaller rectangle die inside the larger frame out of gold mirror card.  I repeated the same thing with a smaller piece of card and added the gilding flakes to it.  I added mounting foam to the back of the middle die to raise it and added it to the centre of the frame.  I cut the centre oval in white and added it to the middle of the card.  I cut the Birthday Wishes sentiment in black and glued it across the white oval.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5 3/4"  x  7"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Snowflake Wishes

 Hello bloggers!  I selected a piece of white card and embossed it with the Bold Snowflake embossing folder.  I used spray glue and coated the embossed piece then sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz all over it.  I cut the outer frame from the Stained Glass Snowman in sky blue.  I cut the middle frame out of both white and black.  I shadowed the white die with the black die cut and attached it to the outer frame.  I cut the Snowman with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  The black die cut cuts all the way while the white die cut only cuts the outside edge and leaves an imprint of te image.  I coloured the white die cut with markers, then attached a sticky adhesive sheet over the top of it.  I attached the black die cut then added Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz over the remaining exposed adhesive areas.  I added it to the die stack and attached the image in the middle of the background.  I cut the Snowflake Wishes in black from the Christmas Wordie sheets and glued it below the snowman .  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of black card and embossed it with the Brick Wall embossing folder.  Next I used the Double Stitched Circles and cut three frames out of white card.  I added mounting foam to the backs of all the circle frames, then added a backing piece cut from a piece of Midnight Blue pixied card.  I splattered the piece with gold and white paint pens. I attached all the frame to the top of the embossed background.  I cut the three Trick Or Treaters to put in the frames.  I cut the ghost out of white card and coloured the legs and pumpkin.  The devil was cut out of milk card then I coloured the cape, shirt and shorts in red, the boots and beard in black.  I cut the with in milk card then coloured the rest of her in black and red.  I added the broom to the witch's hand.  I attached all the trick or treaters in the frames with mounting foam.  I cut the Ghoulish Greetings sentiment in white and glued it under the frames.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5 3/4"  x  10 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
