Parchment Boddice

Hi you crafty friends,
Now this card is a real change, l will admit it is one that l have done a while ago
As Parchment takes quite a while in doing, and plus with my recent fall l haven't been able to do any.
It is a 6 x 6 white base card, and the base matt is matt silver. I can't remember whose pattern l used, but if anyone is interested l could go through my library of patterns to see.
It is all white and mainly embossing, with a simple little edging. It is done in three pieces then attached to the card. Using some silver eyelets for the fastening, and laced up with some white satin narrow ribbon. I used some peel-offs for the sides to mask any surplus glue showing.
This is a lovely card ideal for weddings etc.
I hope you have enjoyed this different post, any comments are very welcome, Thank You

You're one of a kind

Good Morning everyone,   hope you are all busy crafting,
My card for today is a smaller one for a change, a 5 x 7 landscape.
The base is Green card for a different start, and l then found some black and white hounds tooth style paper out of my stash, cut it into two matts and placed on opposite corners. The stamped image is one
of Crafters Companion Swalk range l believe, coloured with my Spectrum Noirs and Promarkers and then used my Spellbinders to cut as a topper, inking the edges with a toning green. Finished off with the banner and three card candy.
Many Thanks for visiting my blog l do hope you like what you see, any comments are welcome.

Native Indian

Hi Everyone, here's my card for today,
I started with a White A5 landscape card, using stamps l stamped the background in different shades of gold's using first, second and third impressions. Using my spellbinders l cut the aperture, then cut again for the main centre piece, inked the edges with the same colour too. Before l cut the smaller aperture l stamped the Indian image and used the out of box technique again colouring with the same toning colours. Finished off with some toning grograin ribbon.
Many thanks for visiting my blog, any comments you have would be welcome.

Calendar

Hi Everyone
This is quite a change for me from card-making.....
To start with this calendar l found in my stash some chipboard shapes, so choosing this one l covered the front with some striped paper, made some toning flowers, using my much used stamps from Creative Expressions, then from some silver mirror card l cut the other embellishments using my D.Lite dies.....used my black Spectrum Noir l coloured the edges....added the calendar....then threaded some black ribbon through the two holes for it to be hung....job done....

Butterflys and Flowers

Hi everyone,
Please accept my apologies for not blogging for such a long while, my injuries from my fall are now well on the way to full recovery thankfully.
For this card l chose a 6 x 6 scalloped white base card, then used some lovely blue mirror card for the main matt.  Thinking to do something different, l chose to use parchment paper, using one of my Tonic dies cut the main image - gosh l do love Tonic - before attaching to the matt l embossed further from the back of the topper, the leaves and also used my sun tool to put detail in the flowers, sorry this doesn't show very well in the photo. Then once again using my Tonic punches, l punched several flowers, once again embossed more on the reverse, layered two together and attached to the card.
Finished off using blue gems for the butterfly heads and the flower centres.
Hope you have enjoyed visiting my blog, any comments are welcome....Thank You

Bethan's 21st

Hi Everyone, please accept my apologies for not blogging regular, still trying to get into a routine,

This card was, as stated in the title, for Bethan's 21st birthday, she is my grandsons girlfriend,
The main card is a 8 x 8 white, with small scallops on three edges, the backing paper is from my stash
and was put through my Calibur using a large spot embossing folder, l then lightly inked with Black Soot distressing ink.  The main image was made using my new Tonic dies, mounted onto first white and secondly onto black to give more lift. The manikin l "dressed" using a Kanban stamp and paper
pieced also used 3 clear gems. Finished off making toning flowers and silver swirls, and the corner
pieces were waste from the die cutting.
Many Thanks for visiting my blog and any comments you wish to make would be very welcome.

Boxed Calendar gifts

Hi Everyone
Hope you are all keeping up with your Christmas crafting, here are
three candles that l have boxed using the new boards from Crafters
Companion....the first one l decorated with a Christmas theme using
my new die of a reindeer on the box and on the candle l placed a few
snowflake peel-offs, finished of tying with a piece of satin ribbon to
tone.
The second one l made a box from  pale lilac pearlescent card, and
decorated with both swirl and butterfly peel-offs, the butterfly peel-offs
were placed onto vellum and trimmed, then glued with silicone glue, l
also decorated the candle in the same way.

The third one l chose lovely pale pink pearlescent card, some more swirl peel-offs, and then l made some toning flowers with the Tonic
range of punches, attached to both the box and the candle to match,

I took these yesterday....Monday 4th ....to my craft stall at my local
hospital, sold the Christmas one, and was shown quite a bit of interest
in the others...l was very pleased.  Hope you have enjoyed visiting my
blog and if you have any comments they would be very welcome....Thank You
