Hello Friend

Hi bloggers!  I have a "window" card but it is made with a shadowbox die instead!  I started by cutting the Celebrations Shadowbox in white but with an arctic blue card beneath it during cutting.  The blue card gave me the embossed version of the shadowbox so I was able to see where the lines on the shadowbox would fall when assembled.  I cut several pieces of the fence in white and glued them to the lower left box.  I cut the bicycle from the Garden Accessories die set in cobalt blue then added the wheels, seat and grips with a black marker.  I cut two of the vases from the Windowsill Accessories die set and added foliage to them.  I added them to the box next to the bicycle.  For the top boxes, I cut a birdhouse, grass, some flowers and a flying bird to go all together in the thin box at the top.  For the largest box, I cut the tree from the Swing Tree die set and added three sections of the foliage to it.  I tucked a small cloud under the edge of the tree, then added some flowers and a squirrel.  I added mounting foam to the back of the shadowbox then assembled the card.   I cut the Hello Friend sentiment from the Friendship Wordie sheets to the top of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7"  in size.  

Since I don't yet have enough cards for posting every day, I was thinking that I might just use the weekends for a fun trivia game.  What do you think?  I love trivia and would love to share that love with you for a little while if that is okay?  If you are not interested in trivia games then I will return on Monday morning with more cards for the week ahead.  All for now, Sue x

Sending Lots Of Love

Hi crafters!  First, I grabbed a piece of silver sparkle alcohol ink card to use for the background.  Next, I selected several of the Pearl Alcohol inks, Sublime, Tranquil and Intrigue.  I used the alcohol ink applicator with removeable cotton pads and applied the colours randomly one by one.  Next I used the smaller heart from the Geometric Hearts die set and cut seven or eight out of white card,  I glued them randomly all over the card and trimmed away any excess from the edges of the card.  I cut the Sending Lots Of Love from the Valentine Wordie sheets, then matted it with a piece of black card and added it to the bottom of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Let The Adventure Begin

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started today's card by cutting a piece of arctic blue card.  I added some waves by tearing a couple of pieces of sky blue card, then adding some fluffy stuff to the torn edges of the card then heating it.  Using the Postage Stamp Rectangles, I created a double white frame and added it over the background with mounting foam.  I cut the Fishing Rod and fish then coloured them with markers.  I cut the bucket from the Fishing Essentials die set and coloured it blue, then added three small fish to it.  I attached the fishing rod and bucket to the right side of the frame, extending the fishing line into the scene.  I cut the Let The Adventure Begin sentiment in black and glued it to the inside of the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Enjoy Your Day

Hello crafters!    I selected a piece of pink and white stiped paper to use as "wallpaper" for my window scene card.  I taped the paper to a piece of white card (since it isn't that thick).  Next I cut the window die with two pieces of white card and added mounting foam to the back of it.  I used the bottom white card that didn't cut but rather embossed the design onto it as my guide for the inside of the window.  I cut the sun from an older set called Rain Or Shine and glued it into the upper corner.  I cut the tree from the Swing Tree die set out of tan card and cut three of the leafy bushes to use as the head of the tree.  I cut several more of the bushes in different shades of green card and glued them into the lower right corner as shrubs.  I added a few tufts of grass and flowers below the tree and a single squirrel as an accent.  I added the window to the scene and nipped away any excess card from the edges of it.  I added it to my wallpaper with mounting foam.  I cut a small potted plant and flowers from the Windowsill Accessories die set and added it to the window ledge.  I used the Wordie sentiment of Enjoy Your Day and added it with mounting foam below the window.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Just For You

Hi bloggers!  I embossed a piece of white card with the Heart To Heart embossing folder, then used some spray glue on it and coated it with Diamond White Glitter.  Using the Stained Glass Squares, I cut a white frame and added a raspberry backing to show through the cut out areas.  I added it to the glittered background with mounting foam.  I cut the outer die from the Lacy Stained Glass Heart die in white.  I cut the center heart using both raspberry and black card.  I shadowed it with the black die cut and glued it to the middle of the white outer die cut.  I cut a couple of the Heart Flourish die in white and added them to the top left and bottom right of the heart as I added them to the middle of the frame.  I cut the Just For You sentiment in black and glued it to the lower left corner inside the frame.  The card was completed with white, raspberry and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Let The Adventure Begin

 Hi bloggers!  I started with a piece of white card and I used Distress inks to create the background in the frame.  I used Salty Ocean on the bottom, then used Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade and Fossilized Amber and blended them to make the sky.  I cut the Fishing Frame out of brown card and I cut away the fishing basket, fishing net and fishing rod.  I cut the die a second time and cut out the Gone Fishing sign and used a fine tipped black marker to go over all the lines and the words on the sign, then added it to top of the frame over the original.  I cut the frame again out of green card and cut away the cattails.  I used a brown marker on the cattails then glued them on to the frame.  I cut the frame again out of white and nipped away the fishing net.  I used a red marker to add accents, then glued it into place on the original.  I cut the canoe out of tan card and used some tea dye distress ink around the edges, then added it to the frame where the fishing rod had been cut away.  I put mounting foam on the back of the frame then added it to the inked background, trimming away any excess from around the edges of the frame.  I cut the Let The Adventure Begin sentiment in black and glued it to the inside of the frame.  I added the entire frame to a larger piece of white card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7 1/4"  in size. 

I will be back on Monday morning with more cards to share with you then.   All for now, Sue x

Congratulations On Your New Home

Hello crafters!  For today's card, I decided to do something a bit different and I cut the Window die twice out of tan card.  I used them horizontally and put the two together then nipped off the corner edge pieces.  Using the Garden Accessories die set, I cut the bicycle in black, the fence several times in white, the birdhouse in brown and several tulips in assorted colours.  I used an arctic blue card as the background and glued the fence along the bottom.  I added the birdhouse behind the fence and the bicycle in front of the fence.  I added a small blue bird flying towards the birdhouse and a couple of clouds from the You Are My Sunshine die set.  I cut a piece of white card and embossed it with the Twill Weave embossing folder.  I cut a piece of decorative paper from the A Gingham Christmas by Sam Poole and glued it to the bottom of the embossed card.  I added the window over the scene with mounting foam then glued it to the top of the card.  I cut the Congratulations on Your New Home sentiment in brown and added it to the white shadow backing piece and then attached it below the window.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
