All The Best

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I cut the Skylines Background out of both antique gold card and black card.  I used the black die cut as an offset shadow behind the gold die cut.  I backed it with white card.  I used the Double Stitched Rectangles to make a white frame and added it with mounting foam over the background.  From the Travel In Style die set, I cut the car out of black card and attached it to the lower corner of the frame.  I cut the airplane from the set out of black card.   I cut the banner out of white card and stamped it with All The Best and attached it to the plane, then added the plane to the top of the frame.  The card was completed with white, black and antique gold mats and layers.  The finished dimension are 6 3/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  


All for now, Sue x

To Wish You A Merry Christmas

Hello bloggers!  I cut the Stained Glass Rectangles in white in the largest size.  I added it to a piece of white card covered with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the exposed sticky areas.  I cut two more smaller dies from the set and backed one in red and one in green.  I matted all the layers up, then cut the Candy Cane dies in red and backed them in white.  I added them to the card facing together to form a heart.  I cut the bow from the set out of green card covered with a sticky adhesive piece, then coated it with Hunter Green polished Silk Glitter.  I added the heart below the candy canes.  I added all the layers to a larger piece of white card.  I cut the To Wish You A Merry Christmas in red and glued it to a white shadow backing piece and attached it at the bottom of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  9 3/4"  in size.

Happy Halloween

Hello bloggers!  I thought I would share a less scary card that uses the Jack-O-Lantern die set.  I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off and laid down white pumpkins, alternating the shape and style of the pumpkin.  I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the remaining exposed sticky areas.  Using the Double Stitched Rectangles, I cut a thin white frame.  I added mounting foam to the back edges and attached it to a piece of white card.  I added it to the centre of the card with mounting foam.  I cut the Happy Halloween sentiment out of both orange and black card.  I shadowed the orange sentiment with the black one and glued it to the inside of the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimension are 7"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  


All for now, Sue x

Hocus Pocus

Hi bloggers!  We have reached the end of this launch with this final post, but we need to showcase the Hocus Pocus sentiment first.  Shown here, you can see how I used it as both the background and the sentiment for the card.  I just love the font as it is both a bit playful and highly readable.  For the final time this launch, I will ask you to leave a comment on this post to be entered into the drawing to win this collection.  I will announce the winner's name on July 30th.  All for now, Sue x

Tis The Season

Hi bloggers!  I started today's card by cutting two of the Stained Glass Rectangles in white and matting them together.  Using the Stylish Poinsettia die set, I cut three different sized flowers out of  Ruby Red card.  I assembled the flowers and added yellow centres.  I seated the flowers on the right side of the card, then added green leaves and berry stems as accents.  I cut the Tis The Season sentiment in red and added it to a white shadow backing die.  I attached the sentiment in the left corner with mounting foam.  I cut a larger piece of white card and ran double sided tape around the edges, then coated it with Iced Snow. The card was completed with white and red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.

For You

 Good Sunday morning all!  I cut the Diamond Radiance Background out of Amethyst card.  I backed it with white card then cut the centre out of it.  I added mounting foam to raise it, then added it to another piece of amethyst card.  I cut the centre die from the same set out of black card and recessed it down into the frame.  I cut the Decorative Tag Duo out of white card and backed it in white.  I added it across the frame with mounting foam.  I cut the Art Deco For You sentiment in black and glued it to the tag.  I cut a larger piece of black card and ran double sided tape around the edges.  I sprinkled Black Onyx Polished Silk Glitter on it.  I added the amethyst frame to the centre with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white, amethyst and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 1/4"  in size.
