Put Another Candle On Your Birthday Cake

 Hello there my crafty friends!   I started with a piece of white card and taped the Large Polka Dot stencil to it.  I used small smoothies and Distress inks to colour through the stencil in a diagonal manner.  The background uses Tumbled Glass,  Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac.  I  cut the Lattice Background out of white card and glued the Lattice die cut over the stencilled background.  I  cut a thin white frame using the Double Stitched Squares die set.  I cut a wide white strip and glued it diagonally across the back of the frame then added mounting foam to the back of the frame and attached it over the background.  I cut the birthday candles out of the same colours of Distress ink (ink white card, then cut candles) that were used on the stencil,  then glued them along the diagonal white strip of card and glittered the flames with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.   I  cut the Put Another Candle sentiment out of wisteria card, shadowed it with a black die cut sentiment and glued it to the lower left corner of the card.  I completed the card with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Missing You

Hello bloggers!  I cut the Swirly Scrolls background twice, once in white and once in black.  I shadowed the white one with the black die cut.  I added an Azure Blue backing to it.  Next I used the Double Stitched Rectangles and cut the centre out of the background.  I added mounting foam to the back of it then attached it to a piece of white card. I added a thin white frame around the aperture using the Double Stitched Rectangles.   I cut the Noble Missing You Sentiment in black and glued it in the frame.  I used the Pierced Layered Flower die set and cut two flowers in white and added Azure Blue centres to both of them.  I seated them in the lower corner.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

All The Best

 Hello all!  This card is a good example of using Christmas dies to make a non Christmas sort of card.  I selected a piece of the pink and white stripe paper from the Dots 'N Stripes Paper Pad.  Using the Round Corner Squares, I cut a white fame to go over the striped background.  I used a pie e of the dotty pink paper and cut a thin frame out of it.  I glued it on top of the white frame as an accent.  I cut the Oval Wreath Frame out of white card.  I used Distress inks to colour the greenery and flowers.  I cut a multi-layered frame in white for the centre of the card using the Double Stitched Ovals.  I added it with mounting foam, then cut the All The Best sentiment out of pale pink.  I used the shadow backing die and added it to the centre of the frame.  I made two corner pieces with the extra flower, inked them then added them in opposite corners.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
