Cheers to you

Hello crafters. Hope all is well.

This is a quick card from an Hunkydory Art Deco kit.  I love the clothes from this era and they've been replicated beautifully in the toppers.

I always have a stash of white embossed panels ready,  done in different designs and the one I've used here is a Spellbinders EF. It seemed to fit this topper perfectly.  I finished with some ribbon and gems from my stash.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy crafting.

With Love

Hello crafters. Hope all is well.

I had great fun making this card! It's unashamedly glittery but I love my bling!!


I had this layout in my head for a while and finally settled for this combination of circular die and stamp.

I started by stamping this Stamps by Chloe flower wreath and then die cutting with the Sweet Dixie Decorative Circular Die. I then coloured in the flowers with my Promarkers (as these would be seen when the petals are lifted).

I used the matching die to cut out flowers from a different sheet of paper to the background but from the same First Edition pad Wildflower. As these flowers stay in the paper a little bit of snipping was required to release them before I stuck them in place over the stamped flowers. Then the fun began with Sparkelicious glitters!

I started with green for the leaves, purple for the smaller flowers and then some chunkier gold in between. After lifting the petals from the flowers, I covered them in Hunkydory Diamond Sparkles Angel Whispers glitter and added a gem in the centres.

I finished with a stamped and embossed sentiment (from my stash).

That's all for today. Thanks for visiting.

Items used:

LOTV art pad topper

Dies: TL, SB, Lisa Horton flower ( leaves coloured with Pros)

Poppystamps border dies

Paper is from a very old Papermania pad

gems

Black, white and gold couple

Hello crafters. Hope all is well.

Sharing a card today which could be for a wedding.

I used an old Kanban di-cut mat in foiled black and gold and echoed that with some paper from Craft Sensations. The couple were cut with a  Sweet Dixie die. Other dies used were TL and tonic and I finished with a few gems on the bride and some Glitterations flower stickers from docrafts.

Wings of love

Hello crafters. Hope all is well.

Sharing an 8x8 card today. Not my usual size.

The colours and images in this Dawn Bibby collection are lovely and although I love fussy cutting (and these images would be very easy to cut out) , using the matching dies is quicker!

Items used:

Dawn Bibby Wings of Paradise collection

ribbon and gems from my stash

Black and gold Happy Birthday

Good morning crafters.  Hope all is well.

Sharing a birthday  card today.

I've used papers and topper from an old Forever Friends collection.  To echo the shape of the topper, I used some Sue Wilson dies (the waste circles came in handy in the corners of the card). The stars were cut with Xcut dies.

Thanks for popping by.

Happy crafting.

New Year

A very Happy, healthy and crafty new year to all my friends, followers and visitors!

The last few weeks have been busy and hectic but I'm back today with a birthday card using an Hunkydory DL pad. It's a nice size to work with and has some lovely floral images.

I fussy cut some of the flowers and leaves and  layered them up with foam pads.

Items used:

Hunkydory Flower Jars DL pad

Hunkydory die cut sentiment

twine and gems

Thanks for dropping by and any comments.
