Thank You

 Hello friends!  Happy New Year's Eve!  I started by cutting the  Beaded Cornice die six times in white.  I glued them facing each other to create three panels on a periwinkle card base.  I used the Pierced Summer Blossoms cut in white and glittered with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz as accents.  I cut a Decorative Flag in white and glued the Thank You sentiment from the Thank You Block Sentiment die set.  I seated the flag at the middle of the left side and arranged the two flowers around the edge of it.  I added white leaves as accents to the flowers.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Just Because

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I found this piece in my background stash that I thought might work for this card.  I used a piece of Silver Sparkle Alcohol ink card.  I used a bunch of colours all over the piece by dripping the colours randomly.  I cut the Swirly Scrolls Background in white then glued it over the top of the alcohol inked background.  I used the Double Stitched Rectangles and made a white frame that I added with mounting foam over the background.  I cut the Just Because sentiment in black gloss card and added it to the shadow die cut out of vellum.  I made a single white flower using the Pierced Layered Flower die set and added it to the corner of the sentiment.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

You Are So Special

Hi bloggers!  I cut the Stitched Starburst Background in white and added an antique gold backing piece to it.  I used the Double Stitched Rectangles and cut a black frame to go around it.  I used the You Are So Special Block Sentiment cut in gold.  I cut the die again in black and used the sentiment from it and paper pieced it into the gold block.  I cut the decorative backing die from the set in black and seated the sentiment in it in the centre of the frame.  Using the Pierced Summer Blossoms, I cut two flowers and glittered them with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and attached them in the lower corner with white leaves as accents.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Birthday Wishes

Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of blue pixied card to use as the background for the card today.  It was created using Midnight Blue and Purple Twilight Pixie Powders.  I used the scalloped border from the Jewelled Scalloped Border die set and cut another piece of the blue card and used the scalloped edging die on the top and bottom edges. I used the scalloped border to also cut a black mat for the piece. I added mounting foam to the back to raise it.  Using the Jewelled Scalloped Border, I cut two of them in white and attached them to the scalloped edges of the centre piece.  I cut the Birthday Wishes Block sentiment in white and black.  I used the words from the black die cut and pieced them back into the white die cut.  I seated the block on to the decorative scalloped backing piece from the Just Because Block sentiment, then attached it to the centre of the card.  I used the Jewelled Scalloped die and cut two scalloped pieces out of the leftover pixied card and glued them to the top and bottom of the centre section.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  9"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Just Because

 Hello bloggers!  I started with a piece of aqua card for the background.  I cut the Draped Jewelled Border four times out of white card.  I glued each one of them to the edge of the card, slightly overlapping in the corners.  I cut the Noble Just Because in black and glued it to the centre of the card.  Using the Pierced Layered Flowers, I cut three of them in white, then added black outlines and aqua centres to them.  I seated them around the sentiment and added white leaves as accents.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Just Because

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I cut two of the Looped Squares in white as the base for the card.  Next I cut the Butterfly Rectangle Frame in white.  I used a piece of Silver Sparkle Alcohol ink card and made stripes of various alcohol inks in a diagonal pattern.  I cut the Just Because Block sentiment out of it and used the leftover bits to cut the extra butterflies for the card.  I glued all the butterflies behind the die in each of the butterfly spots.  I glued the Block sentiment to the centre of the card and added the Just Because cut in white.  I cut a Clipped Corner Rectangle and seated the frame on it.  I used the Poinsettia Scalloped border and cut the scalloped lattice part twice in white.  I glued it to the top and bottom areas on the Clipped Corner Rectangle die.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

 Merry Christmas crafters!  I hope that you will be able to take a few minutes and pop by the blog and let me know you were here.  I know it gets kind of hectic though when you are hosting a family get together, so no worries.  This is the very last of this year's Christmas cards.  I promise no more Christmas cards until next year's June launch!  I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas (and a Happy New Year too!)   All for now, Sue x
