You don't like pastels ??

Hi Everybody,

I realise that not everybody likes pastel colors ... pinks, blues, lilacs and pale greens ... but it beats me why not.

Anyway here is a card that uses deeper tones and it really is lovely in real life.

They may be autumn colors but the card is suitable for any time of year ... and I am happy to say it was added to Etsy and has sold immediately.

So the supplies I have used are white linen card from the  Papermill Direct   and it is superb quality card for all your crafting needs.

The verse is from JustRite Stampers   and matches Spellbinders Labels Twenty Nine ... but shop around you may get it cheaper

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and they are sparkled with Glitter Magic

Into the flowers I have added a decorative hatpin and it can be removed for a small gift.

The pearl flourish is from Want2Scrap  and it is the La Creme color that matches the card and the Spellbinders are listed below

Yesterday I had a lovely surprise. Griff told me to be ready to go out  ... dressed smart but casual  ...at 12 noon.

He wouldn't tell me where we were going but just that I would need a coat.

 We chatted about all sorts as we headed out of town and the surprise was heading in the Manchester direction.

He took me to see the  Torvill and Dean Ice Show ... and it was amazing.  I was enthralled with it all and the skating was breathtaking.

They actually did the Ravels Bolero routine that won them their Olympic medal and it was beautiful to watch.

 They are not doing anymore Dancing On Ice  shows after this year and I am so glad that we got to see them.  I f you get the chance to see this very last tour you must go ... you will not be disappointed and that is a promise

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

So Proud to be ....

Hi Everybody,

This card is created from a really delicate shade of duck egg blue and the card itself is silver foiled and very pretty. It was added to Etsy but sold almost immediately.

The foiled card is from Cardcraft Plus  which is based in Preston UK ... Many of you may know the shop as Inspirations and it has all manner of goodies in there.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and I have added in my lovely glitter from Glitter magic to the petals

Some of you have written to me to tell me that you too have tried this glitter ... on my recommendation ...  and that you are delighted with it.

The sentiment is from JustRite Stampers and is one that can be mixed and matched with all the words in the set.  The link will take you to have a look at what is on the stamp set ..... BUT ... you can get it cheaper from more local places.

I bought mine at the craft shows I go to and I have had it for some time now and it is very useful.

The  Tattered Lace die in the background is  Double Delights and is the one that was free with the second issue of their magazine.

Now before I close for today I have to ask you all something ...  I have had emails from several people and it has been suggested that maybe I could give away one of my cards each week in exchange for a comment from you. 

 I would draw one name from those that have left a comment and the winner would get the card on offer.

What do you think of the idea and would you be interested if I did it as say a ...  Friday Freebie ??? 

 Please give it some thought and let me know please ... via a comment 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Mothers Day Card

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is the subject of a video and is created from the  dies listed below.

I have added in my usual  embellishments of flowers, ribbons  and pearls.

The only other die I have used is to make the stand and that is  made using a  Joy Craft Card Stand.

This link is to  Amazon UK but if you  Google the description  you should  still find the card stands... and maybe  a lot cheaper.

The same thing  applies to the stamped sentiment.  It is from a stamp set by JustRite Stampers but you can get it cheaper if you shop around.

The video is just over 10 minutes long so just enough time to grab a brew and relax as you watch .....




This is the alternative way to use your card and make it into a larger version.

The flowers on the top card are from Wild Orchid Crafts

The pretty pastel flowers on the pink card are from   Petal Lu

And the pearl shape to match the sentiment in both cards is from  Want2Scrap 


More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Filigree Delight ...

Hi Everybody,

The cards featured today are both using the same set of dies.

But each one has a different look due to the colour scheme and the way the die has been used.

The Gold card has been created from the Filigree Hinged Style

The layers are made with the smallest die from the Grand Decorative Ovals and then Opulent Ovals and added with foam pads for height.

The sentiment on this card  is from  Lili of the Valley   and has been stamped and heat embossed in gold.

The double bow has been created with my Bow Maker  with a large Diamante in the centre.  I have also added Diamante around the ovals

This card has the same die added but this time I have layered it onto the red and added the other layers with foam pads.

The sentiment is from JustRite Stampers  and the pearly "Bling" is from Want2Scrap and is a deep ruby red.

So today the sun i shining and I am going out with my "Film Crew" for Sunday lunch ..... I can almost taste the roast beef already and it's only 9am.





If you are one of yesterdays winners then I need your land address please .... you only have one week in which to claim the prizes or it goes to someone else.

More tomorrow ....

Hugs xx
