Hearts and hearts...

Happy Wednesday,

Another sample from the stunning dies designed by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions that I will have on my shows on Hochanda on Thursday and Friday this week.  The ODS will feature the amazing new Heart dies which fit the heart treat cups making perfect easy shaker cards!









For this first card I cut the infinity striplet across a piece of bright white foundation card however I extended the pattern as the die only has there panels.  I added this to a piece of steel pearl foundation card leaving the centre blank.  Next I cut the jewelled heart die cut in the pearl card and added the matching treat cup behind filled with heart shaped sweets and the new Iced Flake glitter jewels ( there is a whole range of brand new glitter jewels just launched by Cosmic shimmer that I will have on the show!

Next I cut a set of the stitched flag dies in bright white and added mats of the steel.  I stamped the sentiment, as I know you will be pleased to hear Mrs D, using the sentiment from my Michaelmas daisy clear stamp sets.

Finally I added a spray at the side which is, even I will admit, a little over the top but I love it!  I made this with blue white seam binding, metallic linx and a pearl and crystal embellishment form the Always and Forever collection by Craft Consortium.

Enjoy...

    Morning John, you have done it again, fantastic, what a stunning creation, I love the striplet die used in the background, and of course the new heart dies with the shaker part, another one added to my list to make..........If I can persuade hubby to bring me I might be able to visit Ally Pally, but will only stay for a couple of hours, fingers crossed he is in a good mood.


    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
