Congratulations Layered Heart

 Hello lovely crafters. Hope all is well with you.

Finally got around to having a play with some new dies from Creative Expressions.  I've used the lovely Layered Heart from Sue Wilson's background collection. It has little lift up elements in the flowers.

I created my own pearlescent background using Cosmic Shimmer Metallic Gilding Polish in Mint and then cut the detailed die. I also used some square dies from Lisa Horton and Carnation Crafts.  The sentiment was cut and layered up using  an Hunkydory die.  I also used an Xcut punch for some extra flowers.  I finished with black gems.

Just for You layered rose

 Hello lovely crafters. Hope all is well with you.

I've been having a go at some layered stamps today. I like the effect you get without too much effort and the lifting of the final stencil to reveal the finished image is always exciting!

I chose to use Altenew ink pads as they come in colour families with the right shades of colour together.  The stamp was from Sara Sig. Rose Garden. The rectangular die was a magazine freebie, the sentiment was a Marianne Design die and the papers were from Craft Sensations. I completed the card with some spotty ribbon and clear gems.

Have a Wonderful Day

 Hello lovely crafters. Hope all is well with you.

Doesn't time fly is all I'm going to say :)

 On to today's card. I fell in love with this stamp when I saw it - butterflies and flowers, my favourite combo.

I stamped this Creative Expressions image onto Hunkydory stamping card with Memento black ink and coloured with my Promarkers.  I also added a generous amount of glitter to the flowers

and butterfly.   The colours chosen go well with the Gina K papers which I also fell in love with.

 (It's easy to fall in love with Crafty stuff. It's an affliction we all suffer from I think!!). I completed the card with gem stones and a dimensions butterfly sticker from PM.

Other items used:

Dies: SB Labels 18, SD Sig. Torn Note Paper, border from The Works

Sentiment stamp from Dovecraft Sweet Paris

Glittery Birthday

 Hello lovely crafters. Hope all is well with you.

I dug out some old tonic die and EF sets recently ( trying to use more old stash!)

I used gold linen card and black glitter card. I quite like the black and gold combination. I did a second pass through my machine to bring out the embossed detail.

The sentiment die is from Yvonne Creations with a Tonic floral flourish die behind.

I added some die cut and punched butterflies.

Sparkly Heels

 Hello lovely crafters. Hope all is well with you.

I've finally found the time to visit blogland! I'm continuing with my quest to use up older papers, toppers and kits. 

For this card I used a leftover smaller topper from Hunkydory and cut into it using a Gemini Inverted  Circle die. I used a Tonic pin dot die for the base layer and a Hunkydory EF which I cut out with a Lisa Horton scalloped square. Some gems and a ribbon finish off the card.

Paper Posies

 Hello lovely crafters. Hope all is well with you.

Today's card uses the lovely Paper Posies papers from Dovecraft.

I've used a favourite SB die ( Detailed Scallops) for the first layer. I love to use this die with 7 x 5 scalloped cards as the scallops in the die seem to nest nicely with the scallops of the card. Other dies I've used include Time for Tea, Stamps by Chloe (flowers) and a selection of Sweet Dixie leaf dies. The acetate butterfly is from Hunkydory.

First Wedding Anniversary

 Hello lovely crafters. Hope all is well with you.

I have lots of Hunkydory topper books but don't use them enough. They're great for quick cards. As the image was already done, I was able to take more time ( and enjoyed) embellishing this card.

I used a MB border and Sweet Dixie corner, flower and leaves dies. I also added lots of pearls and glitter glue. The Paper was from First Edition.
