True Friendship







Good morning all I hope you are all well and If not I send you
Crafty Hugs. Jen I hope you are feeling much better this morning
my dear friend.
Well it's another foggy morning here but it as been turning out 
lovely in the afternoons.

Today's card Is a friendship card for a true friend.
I started with a 7"x7" cream card which I cut a mat out of some
polka dot peach card I then cut the  5-7 decorative labels 4
from spellbinder's I just thought I would give the older dies a airing.
out of cream card which I added to the peach mat.
I then cut the inner die out of cream card and then I stamped
the friendship stamp and embossed it with platinum embossing powder.
and with double sided foam tape I added it to the centre
of the die cut.

Next I cut another mat out of the peach card and I added this
to the side of my main topper.
I cut and embossed a piece of cream card to which I added onto
the peach mat.

Next I cut the Sue Wilson's Fern die out of green card I
added these to my side panel.
I then added some peach flowers to the side panel.
I then dabbed My which ribbon with the creative expressions
cloud blending ink in peach. It just makes your ribbon a little
different making it two tone.
I then added it to the bottom corner.

To finish with I added some ivory liquid pearls to the corners.

That's all for today and I thank you for taking the time to
take time to stop by. And leave your wonderful
comments.

Sugars Pink House





Good morning friend's follower's and visitor's
I hope you are all well this morning.
I think winter is on it's way now as It is now dark in a morning.
What are you all up to today.
I'm off to be pampered a little I'm off the have my hair done.
It's like a morning out as it's my friend's hairdresser's so we
have coffee and biscuits or a cake and a chat.

Any way back to today's card I have now moved on to children's 
Christmas card's and I'm loving using the new Sugar Button's CD.
I think that the pink and blue goes so well together.

I started with a white 7"x7" card and I cut a white mat 
which I inked with some pink cloud blending ink and then a mat
that I printed from the CD.
I then designed my topper which I added lots of glitter and
stitching around the edge's.
I then matted it on to pink and a white mats.
I added this to the centre of my card front.

I then cut out of white card the Poinsettia ribbon die from
Memory box and then the Holly Spray from
Sue Wilson.
I added them to the top corner.
I then used the Creative Expressions Cloud Blending Inks
in pink and blue.
I just Dabbed them on the white satin ribbon and I think that they look
really good.

To finish with I added some liquid pearls to the corner's and
on the the berry's on the holly.

That's all for today and I thank you so much for your
continued support.
I hope you all have a lovely day.
