Taylored Expressions Summer Days


Hi Lovelies...

I've made my card today using a fabulous layering stencils and embossing folder from Taylored Expressions called Summer Days. 

I did the stencilling first, then used the embossing folder on top to give this amazind 3D effect for the flowers and leaves!


I matted the panel onto kraft card, then added a diecut sentiment in gold mirri to finish the card.


Card Info:

Sentiment - Spellbinders Yana's Layered Script Sentiment Dies
Colouring - various inkpads

Hope you like my make today as much as I enjoyed making it - it really gave me joy when I saw how it came together!

Circle of Flowers


Hi Lovelies..

I’m sharing a card today that’s using another gifted to me (by my lovely man!) die… so no name I’m afraid! I diecut a stitched square of white card, then cut the scalloped circle part of the set in the centre. The flowers and butterfly are separate to the circle, to be placed where you like.

I added the square with foam tape to a deep pink card panel then added the flowers and butterfly with tiny foam pads.

Lastly,I added a tiny sentiment and some stickles, and it was done!


Sorry, no name for the die...

Hope you like my make today!

Colorado Craft Birthday Blessings


Hi Peeps...

I have another card today using a Colorado Craft image - this time from a different set - this one is for birthdays.  

Firstly, I coloured and fussy cut the image.   I created a square using masking paper - so I was able to blend ink through the square onto my card panel.  I used Distress Oxides - then splattered with gold watercolour paint. 


I had already die cut the square panel with a stitched square die, which I then matted onto pink card, adhering that onto my card base.  Lastly, I added a sentiment from the stamp set.

Colorado Crafts Lots of Love


Hi Lovelies...

I have a quick Valentine's card to share today, using an older stamp set from Colorado Crafts.  These critters are having a cuddle in the corner of my card panel - and are definitely still cosy!

I created a cloud background with a stencil, then matted that onto some silver glitter cardstock.  I then matted both onto a scrap of blue dotty card, then onto my card base. 

I coloured and fussy cut the images, then added them with foam tape onto my card.  I also added a couple of tiny die cut hearts - well, they had to be there!


Card Info:

Distress Oxide - Tumbled Glass
Colouring - Copics

Hope you like my card today... I'm still using my older stash!

Circle of Flowers


Hi Lovelies...

Sorry I've not been around for a little while, I had a tooth extraction a couple of weeks back and it's caused some problems for me, so although I've been making cards, I've not been feeling like sharing.  Hopefully it's on the mend now..  

For my card today, I've used a die which has no name - that was a gift to me, along with some others.  I love how it turned out.  

The die is cut from a panel that I'd already die cut with a Stitched Square die (which I use often!).  For the background behind the flowers, I used some patterned paper, which I'm afraid I also don't know the name of - I wish I did!  It was a digital download, but for the life of me, I can't find it again!  Anyways... I splattered it with gold watercolour paint, to catch the light.  

I finished up with a tiny sentiment on the corner, heat embossed with gold, before adhering the panel to my card base with foam tape.
