Hugs & Kisses

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

Wish You Were Here

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. I cut the large sun and inked the edges with Spiced Marmalade distress ink then glued it to the corner.  I added a white frame around using the Double Stitched Squares.  I cut the Wish You Were here sentiment in black then glued it to the shadow backing piece which was cut in white.  I added it below the scene with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8"  in size.  All for now Sue x

You Are The Best

Hello crafters!  I started this pretty purple and white number with a piece of white card as the background.  I used the scalloped edging from the Snowflake Scalloped Border die set and cut two in white,  I used some Diamond White Glitter and coated the borders with glue, then glittered them.  I glued them down the sides of the background. Next I cut the Harper die in white.  I backed it with Amethyst card.  I used the die to cut just the middle section of the die out.  I added mounting foam to it then added it on top to raise it.  I used mounting foam to add it to the middle of the background.  Next I cut the Daisy Cluster with two pieces of white card.  I used the bottom piece to colour the design in purple and green using markers, then glued the Daisy Cluster die on top.  I added it to the bottom of the Harper die.  I cut the You Are The Best sentiment in black and white.  I used the white one as the shadow behind the black die cut, then glued it inside the Harper die.  The card was completed with white and amethyst mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

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

Hope Your Days Are Sunny & Bright

Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of card from my craft stash that I had previously made using the Stormy Skies Enchanted Sprinkles to use as the background.  Next I cut one of the Fine Postage Stamp Ovals in white.  I cut a white frame to go with it using Jamie's Plain Oval die set to go on the top of the postage stamp oval.  I cut a piece of white card to use as a background for the oval frame and sponged some Sailboat Blue distress ink across the bottom quarter of it.  I cut the sand die out of milk card and glued it across the bottom.  I added a red beach chair and a tropical drink from the Beach Accessories die set beside it.  From the Palm Beach die set, I cut the palm tree out of both tan and green then cut the top of the green tree and added it to the tan palm tree.  I glued it coming from the side of the frame behind the chair. The large sun from the Palm Beach die set too was cut in bright yellow and edged with Spiced Marmalade distress inks, then glued into the corner.  I added the oval frame to the top of the card using mounting foam.  I cut the Hope Your Days Are Sunny & Bright sentiment in white and shadowed it with a black die cut behind it offset slightly.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

For Someone Special

Hello bloggers!  For today's bright and cheerful card, I started with a piece of white card and embossed it with the Heart To Heart embossing folder.  Next I cut the Budding Blooms die with two pieces of white card.  I used the bottom piece of white card, which just embosses the design and cuts around the outer edge to colour the design using bright coloured markers in pinks, orange and yellow and green for the stems and leaves.  Once coloured, I glued the top white die cut over the top.  I added the die cut to the background with mounting foam.  I cut the For Someone Special sentiment out of raspberry card and glued it to the top of the die cut.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7 3/4"  in size.  All for now Sue x
