Best Friends Forever

Good Sunday morning all!  I started today's card by covering a piece of black card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off and added some Raspberry Kiss Gilding Flakes to it.  I used a piece of Rubit Scrubit pad to move the flakes around all the sticky areas then to refine and remove the excess flakes.  Using the Art Deco Ornate Tile die, I cut it into the gilded card.  I added a piece of black card behind it as a backing.  I cut the Art Deco Ornate Labels out of black gloss card.  I added a white backing piece to it then added it to the middle of the die cut with mounting foam.  I cut the Best Friends Forever from the Friendship Wordie sheets to the middle of the die.  I cut the Art Deco Fan Border out of black card.  I cut it down the middle and added the pieces to the top and bottom of the card.  I cut a thin strip of black card and glued it to the cut edges of both the border pieces.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Furry Wishes

Hello bloggers!  I used some of the stamps from the Pet Pals Stamp set to create the background.  I inked the bone with a variety of colours and stamped it all over a piece of white card.  I used Picked Raspberry, Black Soot, Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers.  I covered it with a piece of sticky adhesive sheet, then coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I cut a raspberry heart frame out of the Decorative Hearts die set.  I added mounting foam to the back and attached it to a white backing piece.  I added it to the background with mounting foam.  I cut Milo out of tan card, added a blanket (or rain coat?) in raspberry card, a flower and some slightly darker ears.  I cut Mittens in white and coloured her like a calico cat and seated her in the upper corner of the heart. I added white envelopes with pink hearts in both of their mouths. I stamped the Furry Wishes from the stamp set and while still in the die, I inked the edges with Picked Raspberry ink.  I added the sentiment at the bottom of the heart with mounting foam.   I added three small pink hearts above Milo inside the heart frame. 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

Just Because

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I started todays card by cutting the  Delicate Daisies Complete Petals die set.  I cut the various sized flowers out of old rose card, blush card and Raspberry card.    I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet, then peeled the backing paper off and began to attach the various sizes and colours of flowers to the background.  I sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Gitterbitz over the remaining exposed sticky areas.  I cut two of the Stained Glass Rectangles out of white card and matted them together.   I cut Rufus out of tan card, including the separate head die.  While leaving it in the die, I used a fine tipped black felt pen to draw in the eyes and nose. I attached the head with mounting foam. I cut a white envelope and added a pink heart to it then tucked it into his mouth.   I cut the crown out of raspberry card and glued it to his head. I cut a bone in white and glued to his paw.   I made a flower using the small and medium sized flowers from the Delicate Daisies set.  I added a pearl to the centre and seated the flower in the lower left corner with green leaves.   I cut the Just Because sentiment out of raspberry card and glued to the top of the Stained Glass Rectangles.  The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  9"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Fabulous Friend

Hi bloggers!  I selected a piece of antique gold card and cut the Art Deco Oval Frame into the card.  I cut it again out of Amethyst card and used it as an offset shadow behind the gold die cut. I backed the piece with Lilac card.   I cut the centre die out of amethyst card and shadowed it with the die cut in lilac card then added it to the middle of the die cut.  I cut the Art Deco Fabulous Friend out of antique gold card and shadowed it in black.  I glued the sentiment to the middle of the card.  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

Happy Birthday

Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of Arctic Blue card and used the Padded Quilt embossing folder on it for texture.  I cut the Stained Glass Cone Flower's outer die in white.  I cut the middle die from the set in white and arctic blue.  I layered up the white die cut then used the fall away pieces from the blue die cut and paper pieced them into the middle die.  I cut the ConeFlowers in white and backed it in white, then I cut the die again out of lilac, brown, green and arctic blue.  I used all the fall away pieces from the different colours to paper piece the Coneflower die. I used clear Cosmic Lacquer on the flower centres to give them some shine.   I added it to the middle of the card with mounting foam. I cut the Happy Birthday sentiment in brown and seated it on a white shadow backing piece.  I added it below the focal element with mounting foam.  I added small white flatback pearls to the background.  I completed the card with white and lilac mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Meow-sy Thanks!

Hello there my crafty friends!  I selected a piece of white card and used the paw print stamp from the Pet Pals Stamp set and stamped it all over the crd.  I inked it with Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, Dusty Concord and Blueprint Distress inks.  Using the Stained Glass Rectangles, I cut two white mats.  I backed one with Ocean card and the larger one with Cobalt Blue card.  I taped them together and added them to the middle of the card with mounting foam.  I cut Mittens in black and added a white envelope with a pin heart to her muth.  I cut three balls of yarn and coloured them with the matching distress inks.  I stacked them in a pile next to Mittens.  I stamped the Meow-sy Thanks sentiment in black and cut it out with the smallest die in the Stained Glass Rectangle die set and backed it with a piece of card inked with the Twisted Citron.  I added it to the top corner of the mats.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  9 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
