Yellow Rose








Good morning friend, bloggers well its soon got around to monday again.

For todays card thought  I would use spring colours as spring is upon us.

I started with a A5 landscape card. I cut a mat  out of Lemon card and then one in white of which I embossed.

I cut a Opulant oval out of lemon card. Then I cut two corners to be glued behind my oval at the top and bottom.

I glued it into the middle of my card. Then i wrapped a piece of yellow ribbon around the bottom.

I then tied a bow an glued it on to my ribbon to the righthand side of my card.

I cut a Happy Birthday with a die out of yellow card and then I glued it in the centre of my oval.

To finish with I added some paper flowers and a butterfy.

I made 2 hatpins and I added some gems. Thats all for today Debs xx

Thank you for taking time out to visit. Debs xx

Many Happy Returns


Morning Bloggers Hope you are all well this fine Thursday morning.
Today's card I started by cutting the Elegant Labels Four dies using the inside die to create a frame out of white card. I then cut a larger piece of teal card to use as a mat for it. I glued the white piece to my card and then lined up the centre die to cut the opening exactly in line with the frame. Next I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Gold Labels Four smallest die. I cut a larger one as a mat for it. I cut the Twisted Metal Tag die and glued it over the top and attached the tips to my frame. I added some flat back pearls as accents. To complete the card, I used the technique called Paved Pearls around the edge. This Technique uses cosmic shimmer white PVA glue to make random seized drops all along a 1/2" wide border. I love to do these drops. I do hope you like it. It would be nice to hear your comments on this card. Debs xx

Its Your Birthday


Morning all I just love this card to start with  I cut a 8" x 8" card base I then cut a mat in mint card at 7 3/4 in square and the a mat of white card at 7 1/2 in square in whit card. I then did some dots with cosmic shimmer pva glue all around the edge. I then cut a mat at 7" Square in mint card. I also cut a mat at 6 3/4 in square in white card on which I embossed it. I stamped my sentiment in black Adirondack ink i cut it out with the Elegant Labels Four die and used the smaller die in the middle to cut a frame. I didn't  emboss it just yet though, but I did remove all the fall away pieces from the die, then but left it still in the die template. I glued the die cut to a piece of mint card White it was still in the die, then I embossed the two pieces. The mint card becomes raised into the spaces where the fall away pieces had been removed. I do hope that makes sense. I hand cut around the edge of the mint card, Leaving the pretty white die cut edge to show on top. I mounted it on foam in the centre of my embossed  frame. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with one of the petite labels, inking it very lightly with mint ink while still place. I mounted this in the middle of my Elegant Labels Four frame. I tied a large bow with crushed silk ribbon and added two hat pins and a pearl to the centre of the bow. I do hope you like it. Debs xx

teal and cream



Good sunday morning all. Todays card is one of those cards when you need a quick one.  I started by cutting two of the largest die in the Resplendent Rectangle die set out of blush card. Next i cut a piece of blush card to fit inside the two rectangles when they are side by side. I used the fancy edge from them as a decorative edge on my card. Next i cut two large cornersin blush card and two in teal. Next I cut backings in opposite colours. Then I started in one corner alternate them as you put them in place, overlapping each one as you go. This leaves you with a diamond shape in the centre of your card. I placed one of the Marvellous squires dies in the eara. The I simply embossed the shape into it. Remember my card is flat so it was easily done. While the die is in place went over it with Antique Linen distress ink. I stamped my sentiment in to the centre of the embossing. It was a real simple card to do. Finished size is 6"x8" in size. See you back here tomorrow Debs xx
