Delphinus Easel Card

Good morning all I hope you are all well this morning.

I'm so tired this morning I've had about two hours sleep and

now I could do with going back to bed.

Todays card is a quick one all I did was make a easel card

and mat a layered it with black card.

Next I cut a piece of white card the size of a A5 card

and I cut the Sue Wilson's Gemini Delphinus die to the top and

bottom of it.

I added this to the back mat.

Next I cut a strip of black card to go across the centre.

I then covered a piece of white card with a sticky sheet and I

then cut the with Thanks die out. Then I peeled back the lining paper

and I covered it with glitter.

I then added this to the centre of my back panel.

Next I cut the Delphinus die once more which I then

added to the bottom of my card to act as a stopper.

To finish off with I added three tiny butterflies t the centre panel.

That's all for today and I thank you all for your continued support.

Many Thanks

Happy Birthday Arianne

Good morning all how are you all doing today.

It looks as though its going to be another lovely day we

have been so lucky here we've had none of the real bad weather.

I would love to here your opinion about this card as I think it's a bit

over the top but the customer wanted lots of flower's and die cuts.

But I'm not sure.

I have used a selection of dies for this one too.

I started with a 7"x7" white scalloped card which I inked with the

creative expression blending cloud ink.

Then I cut the spellbinders imperial square frame and while

it as still in the die I inked it. Next I cut the smaller die from this set

out of white card which I then inked. I then cut the fancy die

from the same set out of a deep pink card twice. I added them to each

side of the small mat. I added this to the centre of the frame.

Next I cut the Happy Birthday die from sweet Dixie out of

deep pink card I added this to the centre of my card.

Then I stamped the Heartfelt creations Arianne stamp

several times with a pink ink pad and I cut it out with the matching die.

I made up my flower's and I arranged them n my card.

Next I cut the Sue Wilson fern die out of deep pink card.

I then added these to the flower's.

I then took some white ribbon and I inked it with matching ink

to the deep pink card I used.

I then tied a small bow which I added to the bottom corner.

and I then added a small flower on to the centre.

To finish off with I added some pearls to the centre of each flower.

That's all for today and I thank you for all your continued support.

Arianne Flowers

Good morning all friends followers and visitor's

I hope you are all well this morning.

what you all up to today anything nice I've still got some washing

and cleaning to do and then I will have a hour in my craft room.

Today's card is made with the Heartfelt Creation's Arianne

stamp and die set.

I think this is one of the prettiest card's I've done for a while.

I started of with a card just bigger than a A5 which I cut a white

mat that I embossed with a rose embossing folder.

Before I glued it down I wrapped a piece of pink ribbon

around it.

Then I cut several flowers in two shades of pink and the foliage

is from a poppy stamp die I just cant remember what it is called.

I stamped and embossed the flower's with white embossing powder

and I then cut them out with the matching die.

With a ball tool I shaped then and made them up with a clear

drying glue.

I arranged them down and cross the bottom half of the

card front adding the leafs in with them. I then added pearls to the centre of each flower.

Next with the  with love die from Sweet Dixie I cut it out

in both shades of pink. I then cut the with love out

of the palest shade and I glued it to the deepest one so that

it gave me a shadow.

I added this to the top corner of my card. I then added a pearl on

to the I in the sentiment.

I then added pearls to the corners of the card.

I then tied a large bow out of pink satin ribbon which I added

to the bottom corner just below the flower's.

And to finish off with I added a flowered gem to the centre of the bow.

That's all for today

Coffee Talk Collection

Good morning all I hope you are all well on this cold

Saturday morning or it were cold at 3am when I had to pick my

son up from work at that time in a morning.

What are you all up to today I'm going to do some food shopping

and then I'm going into my craft room just had a order for 10 cards

so that will keep me busy.

For today I have two cards for you that I made with the

Heartfelt creations Coffee talk stamps and dies and matching papers.

I thought that these cards would be good for male or female ones.

I added glitter to the cream on top of the coffee cup and

And in stead of putting glitter on the coffee I added real coffee

so that when you open the card you get the smell of coffee.

That's all for today and I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

I would just like to say that thank you to all   who have been

asking how George is getting on since his Heart attack at Christmas

he is doing well but he as been told that he will not be able

to go back to work so that was a little shock to him but his health

comes first.

So I thank you all for your well wishes.

A Blanket of Flowers

Good morning all well I don't know about you but it's

freezing here in Barnsley South Yorkshire it's white over.

So I think I will be having a day by the fire and then

in my craft room to finish off the cleaning of it.

I am now nearly all Organised so I know where everything is.

But I don't know how long it will last.

For today's card I have used a Hunkydory topper which

was too big for what I wanted so I just used a circle die

and cut it to size. I often cut things down to the size I want.

I have used a Sweet Dixie circle frame to frame my topper

which I inked while still in the die.

With some of the backing paper which is from Sarah Davis

I cut out a butterfly that is from Sue Wilson.

Next I used a sentiment from Sweet Dixie and I cut it out

of the same paper which I mounted on to white card and I just

cut around it. I added this to my card with foam tape.

And to finish off I tied a large bow out of pink organza ribbon

and I made two stick pins to match I added them to my bow

and I used a hot glue gun to add them t my card.

Just make sure you add some glue to the ends of the pins

then there not sharp if any little hands get old of it.

I then added a flower to the centre of the bow.

That's all for today and I hope you all stay warm in this cold

weather we are having.
