Peace
Hello there my crafty friends! I started by embossing a piece of white card with the Twinkle Stars embossing folder. Next I cut the Ornate Oval in white twice. I offset the looped background to create a loopier look, then added the decorative cut out layer and cut the centre out of it. I cut the Swirling Rays Background in white and added a Pixied piece of card made with Midnight Blue Pixie powders to it. I added the Ornate Oval frame over it then trimmed away the excess card and added it to the centre of the embossed background. I cut the 2021 Christmas Angel out of Gold Mirror card and backed it with Antique Gold card. I added the angel to the centre of the frame with mounting foam. I cut the Peace word

Cosmos Floral Panel
Hello crafters! I started with the Peony Floral Panel and cut it twice in white. I backed it with a powder pink panel, then inked just the flowers on the second panel, cut them out and mounted them on top with foam. I cut the two ivy panels from the Peony Floral Panel set out of white card. Using the Clipped Corner Rectangles, I cut a Multi-layered frame out of white card. I glued the two ivy panels to the edges of the frame. I added the pink Peony panel to the top of the frame. I made a backing for the frame using a piece of white card covered with a sticky adhesive sheet. I glittered it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz, then added the frame over it. I added the frame to another piece of white card then added pearls into the corners. I completed the card with white and powder pink mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.

Thinking Of You
Good Sunday morning all! I started with the Stripes Embossing folder and embossed a piece of white card for texture. Next I cut the Filigree Artistry Scalloped Border die out of Blue Dusk card. I extended it so it was a bit longer by lining up the die and cutting it a second time. Working from the reverse side of the die, I pushed up all the decorative cuts and added small white flatback pearls to the centres of them as accents. I glued it to the left side of the background. I inked the Hydrangea Stampcut with black ink and ran it through the die cutting machine. I used Spun Sugar, Tumbled Glass, Forest Moss and Crushed Olive Distress Markers to colour it. I added some glitter to the centres of all of the flowers. The Hydrangea was added to the bottom of the Scalloped Border with mounting foam. I cut the Thinking Of You out of Blue Dusk card and added a black die cut shadow to it. I glued it to the Stripe background in the upper right corner. The card was completed with white and blue dusk mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

I added them with mounting foam around the Beautiful word die. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

We Woof You A Merry Christmas
Hello bloggers! Today I thought I would share another card from the latest release. I started by cutting the Slimline Stars Rectangle Aperture Trio out of white card and leaving a wide margin around the edge. I added a decorative red frame around it using the Slimline Decorative Holly Rectangle Frames. Using a piece of aqua card, I embossed it with the Bold Snowflake embossing folder. I added the aperture trio and frame to the embossed backing using some mounting foam. Next I cut the dogs from the Santa Paws die set in tan card. I decorated the dogs with items from the Santa Paws die set and attached two of the dogs on the end apertures and used the other one in the corner outside of the aperture. I cut the We Woof You A Merry Christmas in both red and black card and shadowed it, then added it to the centre aperture opening. The card was completed with white and red mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5" x 9 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Celebrate
Hi bloggers! I was having a play with the new Pearlescent Watercolours fr today's card. I used the Turquoise Cascade and Lilac Sapphire water colour inks and randomly spread them across a piece of white card. Once dry, I used the Double Stitched Rectangles to cut a wide frame out of the card. I cut the Celebrate die out of the centre of the card. I added mounting foam to the back of the frame to raise it, then added it to a piece of white card. I added the inner and outer piece of water coloured card back into place around the frame. I added a black shadow to the Celebrate, then added mounting foam to the back and seated back into the place it was cut out from. I stamped the rest of the sentiment and added it with mounting foam. Using the Petal Pocket Flowers, I made two flowers out of white card, glittered them and added centres that were cut from an extra bit of the watercoloured card. I seated the flowers in the corner and added Lace Edged Leaves as accents around them. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Get Well Soon
Hi there my crafty friends! I created this garden card by cutting the flowers from the Elegant Arrangements die set. I cut all the flowers out of shades of green card first, then went back and cut the flowers in an assortment of pinks, lavenders, peach and yellow. I cut the flowers away from the stems and glued them on to the flowers cut in green. I made a multi-layered frame using the Clipped Corner Rectangles with a white base and a thinner lilac frame on top. I embossed a piece of white card using the Fanciful Flowers folder and added the frame to the embossed card as a background. I glued all of the flowers in place in the bottom of the frame. I cut the Get Well Soon out of lilac card and black card and shadowed it then glued it into the frame above the flowers. I added the frame to a piece of white card and added pearls in the corners. the card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
