Full Steam Ahead

Good morning friends follower's and visitor's I hope you

are all well on this Saturday Morning and are ready for a

lovely weekend apart from the weather.

Todays card Is a little different for me as It is a male card

which I struggle to do theres just something about them that

I don't like doing.

But this one I were really happy with as I have used my

New Steam Train die  from Sue Dix of Sweet Dixie Dies.

This one was a really easy card as I just cant sit for long at the minute

as I'm still stiff from my accident.

I started with a 7"x7" white scalloped card which I cut mats

out of cream and brown card. I layered them up.

Next I cut my train out of Gold mirri card. And to make the mat for the

train I drew around the outside of the die on to cream card.

I cut it out and mounted my train on to it.

I used foam tape to added it to the card.

Next I cut my sentiment out of brown card and I added this

to the top corner.

To finish the card off I added pearls to the corners.

That's all for today and I thank you all for your

continued support.

Many Thanks

styalised Daisy's

Good morning all friends follower's and visitor's I hope you

are all well this morning.

Today's card is made by using the Sweet Dixie Dies I am really

enjoying these dies as they are a really good size if you like

making larger cards.

I started with a 8"x8" white scalloped card which I cut a mat

out of a lovely mint card.

Next I cut a white mat which firstly I cut a aperture in the centre

and white it were still in the die I ran it through a embossing folder.

I then added this to my card.

Next I cut a white round mat just a bit small than the aperture.

I used foam tape to add this to my card.

Next I cut my sentiment out and it is also a Sweet Dixie Die

It is about 41/2 in across so its a large die.

I added this to the centre of my aperture.

With the mint card I cut a butterfly that is from first edition dies.

I added this to the top corner.

I then cut several of the sweet Dixie Stylised Daisy dies in

mint and white card.

I shaped the flowers and I layered them up in Alternate colours

same with the leafs.

I arranged them around the bottom corner of my card.

I added gems to the centre of the flowers.

I the added some swirls of crystals to the edges of the flower's.

To finish off the card I added some gems to the butterfly and to

the sentiment.

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

support while George is unwell.

Many Thanks

Me with My Kittens

Good morning my friends I'm now fed up of this cold weather

and by is it cold. It ever warmed up at all yesterday and to make it worse

it was really foggy with it.

So today I'm in my craft room to have a little clean up and

then get on with my DT work.

Today's card I have used the New CD from whoopsidaisy and it

is called Cute and sassy.

I have to say it as some wonderful little girls on there some thing

for every Occasion.

I started off by printing off my image and this time I used

just the outline so I could colour it myself I know I'm not a great

colourer but I'm getting there.

I then cut it out with Sweet Dixie Dotted Doily Circle frame.

I inked it while still in the die with a beige ink.

I added my backing papers to a 7"x7" white scalloped card.

On the second mat I cut a border across the bottom with the

Sue Wilson Gemini Delphinus border die. Then on the top mat

I wrapped a piece of beige ribbon around the bottom.

Then I added my topper to the centre of my top mat. I

used foam tape for this.

I then tied a large bow out of two different types of ribbon

I added this to the bottom corner of my card.

I then stamped and embossed the Orange blossom flowers

with a blue embossing powder. I then shaped all the petals

and I then inked the petals with blue ink.

I then added two flower to the top corner. To finish off with

I added some gem to the flower's and to the corners of the top mat.

That's all for today and thank you for all your support

so take care in this cold weather and keep warm

Dancing Shoe

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

and It is cold here I had to pick my son up from work

at 3am and my it was -3% but at least its not snowing.

For todays card I have used the Heartfelt creations All Glammed Up

Stamp and dies and paper set. and to colour the shoe I have used

creative expressions cloud blending inks which if you look close

to the shoe it looks like it is suede.

I started off with a 8"x8" white scalloped card and I cut a

mat out of the piano paper from the pack.

And I wrapped a piece of pink ribbon around the centre before

I added it to my card.

I then stamped and embossed the shoe with platinum embossing

powder. I then inked the shoe with the pick blending inks.

And I were really pleased with the way it turned out.

I coloured the leaves and the flowers in with Be creative alcohol pens.

I added the shoe to the card with foam pads.

I then stamped and embossed the apple blossom flower

by Sue Wilson and I cut them out with the matching dies.

I then inked them with the same blending ink.  I then added three

of them to the shoe. and I put pearls to the centre of them

you can still see the glue but when its dry it will be clear.

I then cut the sentiment with the Sweet Dixie  leafs and swirls die.

I cut I twice one in white and one in silver which I off set.

I am loving the Sweet Dixie dies I got quite a few for

Christmas and they are a good size and not a bad price either.

I added this to the top corner and I then added a flower to

two of the corners.

To finish off with added some pearls and a small bow on to the

back of the shoe.

That's all for today and thank you for taking the time to

stop by and comment on my cards I do really appreciate them.

Many Thanks

Using the backing card I cut the flower that's in the top corner

out of the same sheet of backing paper.
