Oh Butterfly Oh Butterfly

 

 

Good morning all I hope you are all well and

if not I send you some big hugs.

What are you all up to today.

I'm planning to finish cleaning my craft room.

I did half of it yesterday and what a day that was

I never realised just how many dies I have.

I'm hoping that any one could help

me with ideas on how to file my dies.

I will add some photos at the end of this blog.

My Husband came up with putting them on the wall

so I could see them.

But I ran out of wall lol.

 

As you will see them on the wall and in some

folders on the top of my unit they are the ones

I need to file them better.

 

That's all for today and should you

leave me any comments them I thank you so

much. And if you have a active blog I would

love to return the favour.

 

Many thanks

Any ideas would be welcome xx

 

 

 

 

 

Gemini Perseus

 

 

Good morning All I hope you are all well

And thank you for stopping by It just makes

Worth while doing my blog to know that you

stop by.

It looks as though it could be a lovely day but

saying that yesterday it was lovely and sunny

and we had a few flakes of snow.

I just couldn't believe my eyes when it started.

And then is all had gone with a blink of the eye.

 

Today's card I took from Sue Wilson's card she

posted yesterday as I were having blank on the idea

side but it did turn out not too bad.

 

I started by cutting all the die cuts. I cut the

Finishing touches Charming heart corners

out of white card and

then the Frame Tags Refined rectangles frame

for my sentiment to go on. out of white card.

 

Next I cut a mat out of lilac card to fit the front

of my card.

Then I arranged the Gemini Perseus die about

1inc from the bottom I cut this out. Then I did it again

on the other half.

 

Next I glittered the piece of my base card where

the two pieces of card meet.

Next I cut my corners and I added these to the

two top corners.

I then added my sentiment frame to the top

centre.

To finish off I tied a large white bow out of

organza ribbon which I added to the side of my

borders.

I then made two hat pins in lilac and white pearls.

to go into my bow.

And to finish off with I added a gem butterfly

to my bow.

 

That's all for today I'm off to pay primark

a visit to get some more cheep jewellery to 

cut up for my card embellishments.

 

Should you leave me any comments I thank you

so much and if you have a active blog I

would love to return the favour.

 

Many Thanks

Butterfly dreams

 

Good morning to you all on this Tuesday morning

I hope you are all well and enjoying the lovely

weather we are having.

For todays card I made it a few days ago and

I forgot to post it. And I must say that it is

one of my favourite cards I've made as the

colour is a lovely dreamy mint colour.

I got it from Amazon and it was the cheapest

card ive ever bought. it was only £2.75 for

50 sheets and its 220gsm.

And I ordered some more colours that's my bargain

of the month.

 

The dies I've used at Dies by Sue Wilson and spellbinders.

 

First I cut the top background by using

Caribbean island collection in white and then

I cut a mat out of mint card.

Nest I cut the topper with the Caribbean island

collection St Kitts die I cut this out of white

and a mat out of mint.

I added this to the center of background on which I

added this to the top centre of my card,

 

Then I cut the spellbinders Anne border strip

and I cut it out of white and a mat of mint.

I then cut a mat out of mint satin board.

I left about a 1inch gap below my background.

so I could add my border stip.

 

Then I left another  gap so I could punch

the bottom of my card front.

 

Next I cut a butterfly out of white and mint

which I added to the centre piece.

 

To finish off with I tied a bow out of mint and

white organza ribbon which I added to

the side of my card. and made two hatpins

to go in the bow and I added a gem butterfly

to the centre of my bow I got these gem from

primark it was a bracelet that cost a whopping

£2 and I cut it up and made 12 butterfly's.

 

That's all for now and I will see you tomorrow

should you leave any comments I do appreciate

them and if you have a active blog I would

love to return the favour.

 

Many Thanks

Friends

 

 

Morning all hope you are all well on this Sunday

Morning.

Well it looks like the sun as gone home

as it's not here and I think it's cold but it

is only 3.30 am and I've got the heating on.

What are you all up to today I hope something nice.

 

I'm going to the Crematorium this morning this

some flower's for my mum.

And then I'm hoping to get in my craft room

as I've got lots of DT work to get finish as

I fell behind with me not having my laptop but

now my printer as gone funny but I have had

it years so it's telling me to get a new one.

But there's no funds for a printer just yet so

I had to ask my sister to print me some things off.

 

Todays card I did a few weeks ago but I forgot

to post it.

I'm sorry I've forgot the names of these dies and I

don't want to wake all the house lol.

 

But its a 8"-8" white card  which I cut a lemon

mat and I used the trellis die to cut the background.

 

I then stamped the sentiment onto white

card and while it was still in the die I

inked the edges with a lemon inkpad.

I then cut the larger die in the set to mount my

sentiment on.

I then added it to the left side of my card.

 

I then added some paper flowers to the side of my topper.

I added so pearl embellishment to the flower's.

And to finish off with I tied a bow out

of lemon seam binding and I added it

just under the flower's.

 

That's all for today and if you should leave me

any comments then I thank you so much

and if you have a active blog

 I would love to return the favour but if you

don't have a blog

I thank you so much for taking the time to

stop by.

Good Morning all I hope you are all well

but if not big crafty hugs. I wonder if it's going to be

 another lovely day.

I think i'm getting used to the sun shining.

It's funning but when the sun shines everyone

starts to feel better.

I know I do as I suffer from SAD and I feel so much

 

better when the sun is out.

 

Now back to todays card I have used

Sue Wilsons dies for this one.

I have used,

Striplet Eternal Rings,

The Greek Island collection Rhodes,

Gemini die Perseus.

And The Heartfelt creations Aster die set.

 

And the card I used is from

www.rubyredcrafts.com

I picked it up at one of the shows.

The finished card is a 8"- 9"

 

Hope you have all had a good nights sleep and you're

Not like me up at 3.30 but it does look as though

we are going to have a lovely day.

That's all for now.

Good morning all hope you are all well

on this Friday morning and it looks as though

it's going to be another lovely day.

 

Jennifer did you manage to sit in the sun

yesterday and you didn't get burnt I hope.

 

Well im off to be pampered this morning as

my hubby is treating me to having my nails done.

And then it's off to Asda before it gets too hot.

 

Todays card I simply love it and I like how

it turned out cos I had a little accident with

the centre die that's how the flowers come to

be arranged like they are. But they cover up

the tier in it.

 

I love to use Sue Wilsons die as they always come

out looking good.

And you will be sick of seeing these Aster's

as I just love them at the minute.

 

That's all for today and if

you are going out in the sun take care and

don't get burnt.

going to be another beautiful day.

What are you all up to today? I'm going

to do my upstairs and then if the sun is out

I may sit in the garden and do some colouring in.

 

Today's card I have used a 8" white card

and the sentiment is for the little book of

poems from Hunkydory.

And the background paper is from card craft.

And I have used the Heartfelt creation

Aster die which is my favourite one at the minute.

And I have used pearlescent velum which it

adds a bit of a shine.

I hope you like what you see.

Glittered Aster

 

Good morning all im hoping you are all well

on this Monday morning I don't know about you

but I think the weekend went really fast.

I hope today is going to be a little warmer

then yesterday.

 

I'm sorry about the photo's not being good as

I tried everything to get a clear photo.

 

I started by cutting my stepper card out by

using the stepper die.

You can get this die from.

www.rubyredcrafts.com

It makes it so much easier than having

to measure and cut it out by hand.

 

I then cut the Marianne square die which i

added it to the centre piece of my card.

Next I cut out my Spellbinder's Aster die twice

so that my flower looked full.

I then made my flower up then I glittered it.

 

I then added it to the centre of my card.

I then wrapper a piece of pink organza ribbon

around the bottom of my card.

Then I tied and bow and added this to my card.

 

To finish off with I added some gems to just

below my flower.

 

That's all for today and should you leave

me any comments I thank you so much and

if you have a active blog I would love to

return the favour and visit you.

But if you don't have a blog then I thank you so much

for taking the time to stop by and comment.

 

Many Thanks
