More Colour...

Happy Friday,

A simple lattice card today where the colours ( hopefully) make all the drama.


I stared by cutting the Creative Expressions lattice die (from the christmas collection) twice down the side of a piece of rich burgundy card.  I then backed this with a rich ivory card.

I then added a piece of cream lace ( from my stash Ive had it for ages) before adding the spellbinders main element.



Finally I added some remade flowers and ribbon as a highlight.

Enjoy...

Colour POP...

Happy Thursday,

A different colour combination today which was inspired by the rose buds I bought at a craft shop a couple of weeks ago.  I know the bright red and white is a little unusual and won't ver to everyones taste however I like the pop of colour!

I started by cutting the woodland scene frame ( Ive had so many requests for details on this die I thought I would share the link to where I bought mine here http://www.art-of-craft.co.uk/pcd31-woodland-scene-3pcs.ir  


I then  added a panel of lattice behind this before adding the main element.  I made this by cutting 2 of the lattice dies in the tonic trellis circle die using the outlines to make this into a wreath.  I then added pearls around the inner circle.







I then  added the corsage made of satin ribbon, silk ribbon foliage and the red rose buds along with a  couple of Hat Pins.

A few more layers of white and red to balance the front and finished.  I hope you like this colour pop card!

Pink Flowers...

Happy Wednesday,

A pink card today made with my last pack of the strawberry creme card ( I found another pack in my stash sadly the last one!)



I started by cutting a square of the pink card then added the die cut circle ( cut with the die from daisies I used yesterday.  I then cut an aperture in the centre of the whole piece.

Next I added the centre die cut in pink, into the aperture and then the stamped sentiment in the centre.

I then added the flower and foliage made using the mini rose die from Cheery Lynn and Creative Expressions foliage die ( sorry can't remember which one)

Finally I added layers of white and the green I used for the foliage before adding to a white card blank.



Enjoy...

All white?...

Happy  Tuesday,

I thought I should give the feathers a rest for a while as I don't want to scare Mrs D!  Todays card is made with a real mixture of dies, similar to what we all have in our stash dies form different companies.

I stared by cutting the woodland frame in soft white and mounting this on layers of the soft white.  I then cut the panel from this and added it on the front with pearls at each corner.

I then cut the medallion die ( from an unnamed set bought from daisy Jewels) studded this with pearls on each point.  Next I added the Happy Birthday die cut in the same card using the die form Press Cut.










I added the flowers which are cut from the miniature rose die by Cheery Lynn ( this will be popping up quite a lot as I only purchased this one last week)  I made up the flowers using 2 of each sets along with some stamens.  I added some leaves from the Creative Expressions spring foliage die .

Simple in white but hopefully some ideas and inspiration.

Enjoy...

Late Again...

Happy Monday,


We had such a great time in Bournmouth and Poole with the ladies at Craft Lockers this weekend we decided to stay and extra day and enjoy the sunshine!  So please acept my appologies for the blog being late! 


Im sharing today another card made with the Feathers from Spellbinders (sorry Mrs Duck) nad this is a card that I saw in my head before comitting it to card.  I woke up one morning last wek wondering how the feathers would look made into a wreath and here is the result!

I stared by cutting the largest trellis circle die ( from the tonic trellis set) into a peice of blue grey pearl card ( from my recent Limetree crafts haul) I then added some crystal corners from Creative Expressions and added a layer of white nehind with foam tape.




Next I cut a circle with the die in the dset and aded alternating feathers in the blue grey and white arroud the circle.  I finished with a stamped sentiment on a smaller circle of the white surounded by stick on crystals.

Different but hopefully interesting at least!


Enjoy...

Pink Butterflies...

Happy Sunday,

A simple card today made using just one die the Butterfly die by Donna Salazar for Spellbinders.  I also used papers form just one paper pad the Gypsy Gypsy 12"x12" pad form Craft Consortium.

Although it looks complex this was a simple card to make honest.  All I did was cut the die, which costs the butterflies and the outline rime shown on the card in white in one pass.


I cut the die in a piece of pink dot pearl, a patterned scrapbook style page and a piece of white pearl card all form the pad.

















I simply added the 'rim' to the backing in the slot in the pink patterned paper ( I say paper but the is at least 180gsm paper so perfect for die cutting and construction)

Enjoy...

Sorry it's quick...
