For You

Hi crafters!  For this simple card, I started with some Stellar Ice Luna Paste through the Retro Christmas mask (unfortunately it has been discontinued).  I allowed the Luna Paste to dry overnight, then added a multi layered frame to it.  I used the Double Stitched Square die set to add a wide white base frame and a thinner black frame to the top.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the decorative Flags.  I tucked the end under the edge of the frame and added some flowers to it from the extra die in the Magnolia Corner set.  I cut them from white card with a sticky adhesive sheet and added Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz for a bit of bling.  I used the Magnolia Corner cut apart to add leafy accents around the flowers.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now.

You're Wonderful

Hello bloggers!  I strted today's card by covering a piece of card with Vintage Violet Glitter Kiss  (it is really a very pretty navy blue in real life) and allowing it to dry well.  Next I embossed it with the new Quilted Pillow 3D embossing folder for texture.  I cut it into three equal parts and added them to a piece of white card with mounting foam.  Next I cut the Stella die in white.  I cut the largest die as the backing then cut the decorative die and added it to the backing.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the circular die in the centre.  I used Salty Ocean distress oxide around the edge of it then munted it with foam in the centre of the die.  I added the Stella die to the background, then accented it with Cosmos Flowers in opposite corners.  I used Salty Ocean ink on the edges of the petals then a tiny bit of Black Soot ink after that on each petal.  I assembled all the flowers, then cut a Magnolia Corner that I nipped apart and used as leafy embellishments to the flowers.  I added three white flatback pearls on the opposite corners, then completed the card with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8" in size.  All for now Sue x

Congratulations

Hello crafters!  It's time for a baby card!  I started this one by cutting the Noah's Ark out of taupe card.  I used petrol blue card for the roof.  I added the ark to a piece of card that I sponged Tumbled Glass distress ink on.  I used the Double Stitched Squares to make a white on white multi frame and added mounting foam to the back.  I embossed a piece of white card with the Dotty Waves 3D embossing folder.  I cut along the waves to use a small portion of it and added it to the bottom of the frame so it looked like waves against the ark then added the frame to my backing card.   I used a small bit of Stellar Ice Luna Paste on my finger across the top of the embossed waves.   I cut the bunting out of white and paper pieced the letters back in cut out of blue card.  I cut four of the slightly larger bunting out of Bluebell card and glued them on top and then added them in a swag across the ark's roof.  I cut the animals out of various pastel colours then added them to the ark.  I used both the Farm Animals and the Zoo Animal sets as well as the tiger and giraffe from previous baby sets.  I cut the dove and sprig and glued them in the upper corner and used the Congratulations sentiment cut out of petrol blue and black as a shadow.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now.

Thinking Of You

Hi bloggers!  This is one of my favourite samples of the All In One Collection.  I started with a piece of Silver Sparkle Alcohol Ink Card from Ranger.  I used Sunshine Yellow, Red Pepper and Sunset Orange alcohol inks on it and applied them in a sweeping rows of colour.  Once dry, I cut the Martha Background in white and glued it on to the top of the background.  I used the matching Martha Edger set and cut the two centre sections out of white and added them in place with foam.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it with the Decorative Flag die set.  I attached it with foam across the card.  I used a piece of sticky adhesive sheet on white card and cut several of the Jasmine flowers.  I peeled the backing off and coated them with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz then assembled them and added them to the end of the flag.  I cut the Magnolia Corner die in white and nipped it apart to use as accents around the flowers.  The background was matted with a thin black mat, then completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7" in size.  All for now.

You Are The Best

Good Sunday morning all!  I started today's card by embossing a piece of milk card with the Dotty Flourish 3D embossing folder.  Next, I used Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide inks and lightly brushed across the top of the embossing folder randomly.  I used a light misting of spray glue over the top of the background and dusted it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I cut the Stella die out of milk card.  I cut the backing out of milk card too, but used the same two Distress Oxides and added colour to the backing before gluing it on.  I attached it to the centre of the card with mounting foam.  I cut a Double Stitched Circle out of milk card and added it to the centre of the die cut.  I used the You Are The Best sentiment cut out of milk card and touched the top and bottom of the letters with the distress oxides before attaching it to the circle.  I cut several of the Leather Leaf Fronds out of milk card and attached them in opposite corners as accents, with the ends tucked under the die cut.  The card was completed with milk mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now.
