Thinking Of You

Good Sunday morning all! Happy New Year's Eve!  I made today's card to show another way of using the Stained Glass Tulips.  I cut the die three times in white card and backed them in white.  I cut the tulips out of the circle and recut the die in yellow, red and purple for the flowers and gree for the leaves.  I paper pieced the tulips with the fall away pieces from each of the cuts.  I selected a piece of Arctic Blue card to use as the background.  I inked the centre of the card with Tumbled Glass distress ink, then glued the tulips to the bottom of the card.  I cut the Noble Thinking Of You in black and added it to a white backing die then attached the sentoment above the tulips with mounting foam.  I added the butterfly cut in white from the set and paper pieced in purple and yellow.  I added some clear water crystals as accents randomly to the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

For You

Hello bloggers!  I selected amethyst card to use as the background.  Using the Art Deco Rosette, I cut it twice, once out of antique gold card and once out of gold mirror card.  I used the gold mirror die cut to shadow the antique gold die cut.  I added it to the middle of the background with mounting foam.  I cut the Art Deco Fan Border out of antique gold card.  I cut it down the middle of the die to create two borders.  I cut a thin strip of antique gold card and glued it to both pf the borders on the cut side.  I attached the borders to the sides of the card.  I cut the middle die from the Rosette out of amethyst card and glued it to the middle of the Rosette.  I cut the Art Deco For You sentiment out of both antique gold and gold mirror card, then shadowed it and glued it to the centre of the card.  The card was complete with white, antique gold and amethyst card mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

You Are My Favourite Hooooman

Hi bloggers!  I started today's card by selecting a piece of aqua card to use for the background.  Using The Pet Pals Stamp set, I inked the paw print in black and stamped two pieces of white card. I lightly inked the edges of both of them with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink then matted both of them with a black mat.  I added mounting foam to the back of them and attached them to the sides of the card.  I cut Buddy out of a piece of dark brown card, added the extra ears and sunglasses cut in black.  I cut an envelope in white and added a pink heart as well as a pink flower and leaves, which I added to his tail.  I stamped the sentiment You Are My Favourite Hooooman from the stamp set and cut it out with a small rectangular die.  I inked it lightly with Tumbled Glass Distress ink while still in the die.  I added mounting foam to the back and seated it above Buddy.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hello my crafty friends! I hope eveyone had a great Christmas! For today's card,  I selected a piece of white card and embossed it with the Padded Quilt embossing folder.  Next I used the Clipped Corner Rectangles and made a multi-layered frame using a wide white frame and a thinner black frame on top.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame and attached it to a piece of silver sparkle card.  I added it to the background with mounting foam.  I cut Rufus in black.  I cut the head separately then used a fine tipped black felt pen through the die to his eyes and nose.  I cut an envelope in white and added a silver sparkle heart and tucked in his mouth.  I cut a small flower and seated on his tail.  I also cut a bone and several pink hearts and glued them above Rufus.  I cut several pink flowers and added leaves then seated them in opposite corners of the frame.  I cut the Birthday Wishes sentiment in black and glued it below the frame.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
