Hello Dear Friend

Hello crafters!   I cut the Floral Melody  Cover Plate with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I used the white embossed copy to colour the design with alcohol ink markers in shades of red, yellow and orange.  I covered it with a piece of sticky adhesive sheet, then added the black die cut on top.  I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the remaining sticky areas.  I cut a larger piece of white card and glued the die to it.  I cut the Hello Dear Friend in black and glued it to the white card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7"  in size.

Cherish Every Moment

Good Sunday morning all!  I started by cutting the Stitched Starburst Background in white.  I backed it with a piece of Pixied card made using Midnight Blue Pixie powders.  I cut two Double Stitched Ovals in white.  I added the matted ovals to the middle of the card.  I cut the Bluebell  Cottage in lime green and I added a cobalt blue roof, door and windows.  I added it to the ovals with several trees and a white fence.  I used the Cherish Every Moment sentiment cut from the Wordie Sheets.  I added it below the cottage.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  7 3/4" in size.  


All for now, Sue x

Sending you Lots Of Love

Hi Bloggers!  I selected a piece of aqua card to use for the background.  I used an old stamp (the Orange Blossom flower) and stamped it all over the card using a Clear Perfect Medium pad.  I coated it with white embossing powder and heated it to melt.  Next, I cut two Double Pierced Circles in white and matted them and added it to the middle of the card.  I cut the Flower Shop in Blush card and added grey roof, door, window and awning.  I cut some flowers and added them to the window box.  I added a lamppost, a sandwich board, a couple of trees and some clouds around the building.  I cut the Sending You Lots Of Love from a Wordie Sheet and added it across the bottom of the matted circles.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  7 3/4" in size.  


All for now, Sue x

Dear Friend

Hello bloggers!  I started today's card by creating the background.  I used the Shaving foam technique using pixie powders.  You can see the demo if you click on the link at the top of the blog.  I used Midnight Blue, Candy Pink and Purple Violet Pixie Powders mixed into the shaving cream.  I cut the Butterfly Breeze Cover Plate in both white and black card.  I used the black die cut as an offset shadow behind the white die cut.  I glued it to the shaving foam background.  I cut the Dear Friend sentiment out of leftover card from the shaving cream background.  I cut the sentiment in black and used it as an offset shadow behind the other die cut.  I glued it on to the white part of the die cut.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5 3/4"  x  7"  in size.  


All for now, Sue x

Have A Magical Day

Hello crafters!  I started with a piece of white card and I cut a piece of slate grey card to go across the bottom of the card.  Next I cut a piece of sky blue card with a rounded side to it and glued it on top of the grey card. I inked the top of the card very lightly with Tumbled Glass distress ink.  I cut the Fish Shop out of aqua card and added the accents with ocean card. I added the building to the card and placed the delivery van and a lamppost next to it.  I added waves and a blue and white sailboat to the water.  I added several trees to the side of the pond.  I added several white clouds to the sky above the fish shop.  The Have A Magical Day sentiment was cut in black and glued to the top of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  7"  in size.   


All for now, Sue x

To You & Yours

Hi there my crafty friends!  For today's card, I used the card that I had cut some large trees from and I attached it to a piece of white card.  I used it as a mask and inked through with Forest Moss and Crushed Olive distress inks.  I inked the area below the trees to create a hill.  I covered the piece with some sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off and coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I cut the Corner Cottage out of arctic blue card.  I added a grey roof, door, windows and awnings to it and added it to the scene with mounting foam.  I cut some small trees and added them around the cottage.  I cut the To You & Yours sentiment in black and glued it to the top corner of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  9"  in size.  


All for now, Sue x

Have A Great Day

Hello bloggers!  I have a slimline card to share with you today!  I started by  creating the frame first.  I used the Slimline Stitched Rectangle Frame set.  I cut a white frame with them, then added a black frame on top using the Slimline Essential Frames.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame then cut a piece of white card to attach it to.  Before attaching the frame, I sponged some blue at the top of the piece, then cut three hills using the Stitched Hills and Clouds and added them to the bottom of the card.  I cut the Fish Shop in grey and added blue awning, door and sign.  I added it to the bottom of the card with mounting foam.  I added a lamppost next to it.  I cut both the Bookshop and the Flower shop in grey.  I used iris card for the windows, door and awning on the Book shop.  I used pink card for the accents on the flower shop.  I added the buildings with mounting foam, then added some trees and clouds around them as accents.  I added the Have A Great Day sentiment which was cut from the Wordie Sheets.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 43/4"  x 9"  in size.  


All for now, Sue x
