Negative Snowflakes

Hi all

For today's card I have used the waste from the snowflakes I have been die cutting. I mounted it over a piece of red glitter card and added a sentiment. 

 A quick and easy card and I love not wasting the what is the scrap.

I hope everyone is keeping well and dry as the rain has been awful here. We had a massive puddle (well it was more like a mini lake) outside our house. It has now subsided thank goodness. Still not put the heating on - we are doing well.. 
It will my eldest daughter's birthday next Sunday- she will be 29 - where does the time go !! We are all going out for a meal on Saturday, it will be nice to see her.
Thanks for stopping by ..

For Mother's Day

Hi Fellow Crafters

I hope you are all  keeping safe and warm in this cold weather we are experiencing in the UK at the moment.
I spent the whole day in my craft room yesterday. It was so nice to have the day to myself and I made this card for my mother in law. 

I choose a yellow and a soft pearlised white card in the hope that spring will soon be here.

I made the yellow card by using a smoothie and CS Lemon Meringue colour cloud on a piece of white card. I then used clear embossing powder over the top. I did this twice to create a lovely gloss finish. I hope you can see the shine on the flowers.

Silver Frame

Hi all

What a stormy last few days, I hope you have all have been safe and well.
This card was inspired by a milk and coconut white card on Julia Watts blog a while ago. I thought it looked so elegant I thought I would create one of my own.

 I started by stamping the Delicate Deco Square stamp with versa mark ink and embossing with CE detail silver shine embossing powder. I have had this stamp for about a year but had never actually used it. I will definitely be using it again, its gorgeous.
I simply created layers using SW double pierced squares from both sets.
The sentiment is from Justrite and embossed in the same powder as the frame.

 I am really pleased with this card and the shine from the silver embossing powder really makes its stand out.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by, enjoy your week.

Wisteria Birthday

Morning all

For today's card I have used the Heraldic Die from Sue Wilson again.

For the background I cut four of the smallest decorative die and mounted them on to coconut white card. 

I cut the largest die and inked through with CE colour cloud ink in frosty heather.

I sprayed another of the decorative dies with glue and sprinkled CS diamond sprinkles over the top and mounted it on to the larger die.

The sentiment is from Justrite stamps and die cut with Sue Wilson pierced flags and inked through with the same colour.

The flower I made from Sue's camellia complete petals from white card which I inked  with the frosty Heather. 

I cut two of the laurel leaves out of wisteria card to pop behind the flower.

The frame I made from Sue's ornate pierced square dies and added a thin wisteria mat before placing all of this on to my 6x6 card.

 I finished  it off by adding some pearls to each of the corners. 

Beautiful Birthday

Morning Bloggers.

Here is my offering for today.

 I started by inking my polka dot mask with perfect medium which I layed on a piece of white card and ran it through my embossing machine.
I then peeled the mask off the card a sprinkled with pink mica powder on top of the perfect medium which I heat embossed.
I then matted this onto a piece of pink card.
I made a white frame and stamped randomly on it with some butterfly stamps from Kanban in pink and the leaves are from Justrite stamps. I then matted this onto the mica embossed background.
I then cut 4 of the Eltham corners from tattered lace out of pearlised white card and placed them in each corner.

 I stamped the sentiment from Justrite  Enjoy the Day set and cut it out with the matching Vintage labels 4 die. This I mounted on to a piece of pink card which was stamped and  embossed in white from the same stamp set.
I then added butterflies from Spellbinders and added pearls to the body.
The flowers are from Heartfelt Creations sun kissed fleur stamp and die set. I stamp them in pink on white card which I heat embossed and finished with CS Iced Candy twinkles  which I used for the dots all around the card.

Thank you for popping by.
