Floral Melody Cover Plate

Hello crafters!  The last post on the day is dedicated to the Floral Melody Cover Plate. This beautiful die set has florals, leaves and swirls throughout.  

I have also forgotten to mention that you can add any larger sized backing card to these, as I have done here,

if you would like to add a larger sentiment to your card.  It is very easy to do.  How about this one, does it float your boat?  Have you got a favourite from today yet?  There is still more to come, don't worry.  I will be back at 6am tomorrow morning with the start of day two of the launch.  All for now, Sue x

October Die Release Blog Launch / Butterfly Breeze Cover Plate

 Hello crafters and welcome to the October Die release Blog Launch!  There are eleven dies in this release, with five major dies and six sentiments in various configurations.  As always, I will be giving away an entire collection to one lucky winner of the drawing.   I will be doing the drawing and posting on the Oct 22nd.  To enter the drawing, you only need to leave a comment on the posts.  Please only one per post, but you may post on each of the eleven die posts for maximum advantage.  I ask only that you please make sure you sign your post with your name and some way to make it different from anyone else who may share your same name.  For example, add either your surname or initial or the city or town in which you live or just a funny alias.  There needs to be some way that I can differentiate the name drawn from all others.  With all that in mind, I will showcase the first die set on offer.  Introducing the Butterfly Breeze Cover Plate.  While these are more of a partial cover plate than a full cover plate, but there is no denying that they are beautiful either way!  You will see as we go through the launch that there are a variety of ways in which these ides can be used.  Don't forget to leave your comment here and the next post will be on the blog at noon today.  All for now, Sue x

Thinking Of You

Hi there my crafty friends!  He's a cute card showcasing Dottie!  I started with a piece of white card and used one of the paw print stamps from the Pet Pal stamp set.  I inked it with a black ink pad and stamped it randomly all over the background.  I repeated the process with a red ink pad.  Next, I cut the Looped Ovals with a larger red one, then I added a smaller white Looped Oval and matted them together and added them to the middle of the background.  I cut Pet Pal Dottie in white and used a fine tipped black felt pen to colour all her dots and face.  I cut the sweater and cap in red and glued them on.  I added a white envelope with a red heart on it to her mouth.  I cut the Thinking Of You sentiment in black and glued it above Dottie.  Three small red hearts were added as accents.  The card was completed with white, red and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2" in size.

Christmas Greetings

Good Sunday morning all!   I started with a piece of white card as the background.  I just another piece of white card in a sloping fashion and covered it in white Fluffy Stuff, then heated it to create a snowy scene.  I taped it to the bottom of the background piece.  Using the Winter Wonderland die set, I cut a handful of trees in several sizes and colours and added more fluffy stuff to the tops of them and heated it.  I arranged the trees at the top of the card, slightly over lapping them.  I cut the house/cabin out of tan card and a slightly darker piece of card.  I nipped the roof off of the darker card and glued it on to the tan piece.  I backed it with a piece of custard card to look like lights on inside.  I added the house at the top of the mounded area.  I cut a deer family out of tan card and added them by the trees.  I cut the buggy and driver in silhouette and glued them to the side of the card.  The Christmas Greetings sentiment was cut in black and added to a white shadow backing piece and attached in the snow area with mounting foam and glue.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  9"  in size.

Boo To You

Hi bloggers! I have a cute and very easy card to share with you today.   I selected a piece of pumpkin orange card for the background. I used a spider web stamp (not sure of the stamp set source, sorry)  and stamped it around the edge using a black ink pad.  I cut a smaller piece of white card and matted it with a piece of black card and added it to the middle with mounting foam.  I cut the Boo To You Frame out of black card and glued it to the white card. I cut the Boo To You Frame a second time out of black gloss card and nipped away the spider, owl and pumpkin and glued them to the frame on the card as accents.   The Boo To You sentiment was cut out of pumpkin card then shadowed with a black die cut and glued into the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2"  in size.

Let It Snow

Hi bloggers!  I started today's card with a piece of white card.  I used the Let It Snow stamp from the Santa Stamp set and stamped it in black randomly all over the card.  I used Peacock Feathers Distress ink and sponged it from the edges of the card inward, leaving the centre white.  Next I cut the outer die from the Crystal Kaleidoscope in white , then cut the same die out of white card covered with a piece of sticky adhesive sheet on it.  Once cut, I peeled the backing paper off and coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz for a snowy look.  I added it to the outer die cut then attached  the entire die to the middle of the card with mounting foam.  I cut the Let It Snow sentiment out of both Ocean card and Black card.  I shadowed the sentiment and glued it across the middle of the die cut.  to add a bit more sparkle around the card, I ran a bead of Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue around the edges of the card, then sprinkled it with Iced Snow and allowed it to dry.  I completed the card with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2"  in size.

Just to let everyone know that I am fine and no real damage to our home either.  We have a couple of old trees that fell, but they are not causing any issues at all where they are.  The city of Tampa and surrounding areas took the brunt of the storm, however, and have massive damages and outages everywhere.  If you have friends or family there, please try to reach out and see if you can get in touch.  My thoughts and prayers for all of those who suffered loss from Milton and Helene as well.    Our hurricane season does not end until Nov 30th, so this may not even be over just yet.  I will let out a big sigh of relief once we get to the end of November for everyone in Florida and surrounding States, it is causing PTSD in all of us!  All for now,  Sue x

You Are My Favourite Hooooman!

 Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of kraft card to use as the background to the card.  I inked the heart with paw stamp from the Pet Pals stamp set with a pink pigment ink pad (an unnamed brand from my old craft stash) and stamped it all over the kraft card.  I used clear embossing powder on it and heated it.  Next I cut the Clipped Corner Rectangles out of powder pink card.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame and added it to a piece of white card.  I cut Coco out of taupe card and used a black felt tipped pen to fill in her face and spots.  I cut her party hat and a bunch of balloons of of antique gold card.  I cut an envelope out of white card and added a small pink heart then inserted it in her mouth.  I glued the balloons above her randomly then used the black felt tipped pen to draw in the strings.  I also cut a small gold pressie and added a gold bow.  I cut a bunch of pink hearts as accents and filled them in around the balloons.   I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set that says You Are My Favourite Hooooman! (although not as straight as I thought it was when I made the card! LOL)  I inked it with spun sugar while still in the die, then matted it in gold and added it above the frame.  The card was completed with white, gold and pink mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2" in size.

Tis The Season

Hello crafters!  I started today's card by cutting the Stained Glass Rectangles in two different sizes out of white card.  I matted both of them with silver sparkle card and then matted the two together with mounting foam.  I cut the Pinwheel Snowflake die in white and backed it wit silver sparkle card.  I used the inner die from the set to cut out the centre of it, then I added mounting foam to raise it and added it to the centre of the card.  I cut the inside die in white and backed it in white, then recessed it down into the middle of the die.  I cut the Tis The Season sentiment out of both silver sparkle card and black.  I shadowed the sentiment and glued it to the middle of the die.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 1/4" in size.
