Iris Butterflies...

Happy Tuesday,

A different shaker card today made using the Heart Treat cups and the Fluttering Heart die designed by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions.

I started by cutting the inner die from the Fluttering Heart die into a piece of Iris foundation card randomly over the piece.  I then added a sheet of bright white foundation card behind this using spray adhesive.  I then framed this with a frame made with the noble double pierced background rectangles die with a couple of layers of iris and white for goo measure!

Next I cut the outer inner and detail die form the fluttering heart in bright white and backed this with Iris cut with just the 2 heart dies in the set.  I then added this over a heart treat cup ( made to fir the die exactly) and filed it with the Crystal Hexagons from the new Cosmic Shimmer glitter jewels collection.  I added the backer die cut in iris over white to the back after adding a heart cut in acetate to seal the shaker heart.

To finish I added the shaker element as shown at the bottom centre and used the amazing wispy fronds cut in iris and the flowers cut from the spring foliage in white with cobalt 3D pearl accents in the centre.

Enjoy...

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...
