Red snowflakes

Hi all

 Well I have so much stuff in my craft box waiting to be used it was overflowing -and to be honest I couldn't remember what I had in there. 
I found a piece of acetate that I had previously spread red glitter paste through a snowflake mask, (who says you cannot  have red snowflakes , right !!) so I decided to make a Christmas card out of it. 
I also found some lovely snowy glitter card that that I popped behind the acetate. I had bought SW Twinkle Star frame die but again had never used it. I placed this over the top of the acetate added a sentiment and matted and layered it. To complete the card I added CS pearl glue to each of the star sections on the background die and then three berry red ones on the frame

It was so hard to photograph so that you could see the sparkle but it looks lovely in real life. 

I hope everyone is keeping well - I have a medical issues at the moment and tests to be had - so I should know the results in a few weeks and then it will be next steps

Thanks for popping by I really do appreciate it, and if you wish to leave a comment that would be fantastic.

Zendangle Tree

Hi all

How is everyone this week? 

 This card I made using the  Festive fir-cones and Zendangles Cardio-stamps and  created a Christmas tree by stamping and over stamping. 
The 'Merry Christmas' die  is from the Find it Trading die range, which I glittered and added some pearl drops too.
The ribbon was given to me by my daughter's boyfriends mum, and I just had to use it as I like it so much.

Its been quite a cold a day here and the cats have been in all day..so that's 3 dogs and four cats.. quite a menagerie but they all get on together really well together. Here's a few photos of them

50th Anniversary

Hi all
I was asked to make this card for a friend.

I knew I wanted to use my newly purchased All Occasion embossing folder, so I started with that. I added the frame in vintage gold card using SW double pierced square dies.The Tied Together embossing folder is another one of my favorites so I added that to the back of the frame.

The sentiment I created on my computer and added the 50 from Phil Martin's from the heart collection and used one of my old SP dies to cut it out and added the heart die so it wraps around the sentiment.

I completeed the card using CS PVA glue dots.

Have a good week every one.

On Your Wedding Day

Hi all

This is a card I made for a wedding we attended in June.

  We all had fantastic time.
It was my friends daughter's wedding  and I lived and breathed the planning of this wedding for the past two years, but it was well worth it.

I used SW double pierced dies (both sets) and created a frame from milk and white card, which I place over Spellbinders  fancy lattice die. I then added CS pearl PV to each junction of the lattice.
I created a frame for my sentiment from SW noble collection and the flowers are stamped from Heartfelt creation sun kissed fleur collection and embossed on to white vellum.
I added a ribbon a pearl to complete the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Spirelli mask

Hi bloggers

 I started this card with the background I used light blue foundations card and used the Stamps Away Spirelli mask and spread CE Polar White texture paste through it. Once dry I mounted a piece of white card over the top out of which I had cut SW Noble die- Ornate Pierced Design I mounted this on to light blue card.

 The stamp I used is CE Regal Blossom inner frame which co-ordinates with the Heraldic die and the sentiment is from John Lockwood's Daisy set. I heat embossed with CS silver detail embossing powder.

 The flowers are die cut from Heartfelt Creations and  I inked through  the die and then I added glue and sprinkled CS  Glacier ice and and finished with a handmade bow.
This was all mounted onto white card which is embossed with CE quilted flower folder.

Thanks for popping by.

Purple butterflies

Morning fellow crafters

Thank you for popping by .

I am on annual leave today and tomorrow so I  have a nice long weekend. (more time to craft ..lol)

I am going to see Michael Macintyre tonight at the O2. Really looking forward to it, I will let you know my thoughts of the show on Sunday's post.

On to todays card...

I started by cutting two of Sue Wilson's mini striplet die, butterflies in flight in white foundation card. I glued them both together and coloured the butterflies with CE cosmic shimmer glue Frosted Heather by Phil Martin. I do like the swirly effect that was created by using the glue.

Once dry I cut the same die again but out of foundation grey card and glued over the top of the other die cut.




Then I popped this on to a piece of white foundation card with foam pads, which was then matted on to some purple pearl card from my stash then the grey card, and all this went onto a 5x7 white card.

 I found some peel offs for my sentiment  in purple and then finished the card with some CS glue dots on the corners in vintage plum and silver lustre.

Hope you like it.

Best wishes on your birthday
