Tattered Lace...Square
Hi Everyone, hope you are all well,
The card today is made using my new Tattered Lace dies, as normal l have chose an A5 Landscape
card, printed off the backing sheet off the Tattered Lace C.D., l then wrapped toning ribbon and made
"chocolate box" bow. The coloured backing for the die is also off a C.D. produced to use with the
dies, l turned the inner square frame and then placed the "for you". Quite a quick but very useful
card don't you think. Many thanks for taking a look at my blog, any comments you wish to make
will be fully appreciated.

Sewing Bits & Bobs
Hi,
Hope you are all well, and thankfully the weathers picking up too.
My card this time is A5 landscape and matted with black, l then inked my button embossing folder and then ran it thro my Calibur, the other piece l embossed silver mirror card with a sewing themed folder and trimmed them so there was a slight gap in between the two. The embellishments were cut
from a Xcut haberdashery die set, threaded some twine thro the buttons, and hey presto a nice card for a sewing enthusiast. Hope you have enjoyed visiting my blog and any comments you wish to make would be greatly appreciated....Thank You

Flower Burst
Hi Everyone, hope you are all well here's my latest post........
This card was one l found in my stash and it is a 5 x 7 oval aperture white card, the image is a Magnolia one l believe, and thought it just looked as if she was looking at something, so l decided to
use my D.lite die to make it look as if she's looking at the flowers, l chalked them whilst still in
the die, and then finished off with the flourish over the top corner, added one of my parchment
flowers and also a gem. Hope you liked visiting my blog and and comments you have would be
greatly appreciated....Thank You

and printed off the sketchy designs as well as the coloured and cut out the "magnifying glass", and
layered on top of the sketchy one for a different look. Finished off with card candy on one and on the
other l placed 2 die cut corners. Nice and simple to make and pleased with the outcome.

Swinging Gorjuss
Hi everyone, hope you are coping with this terrible snowy weather, roll on summer.
This card was made from a 6 x 6 white card, inked on the edges with Worn Lipstick distressed
ink, main matt was from my stash (got loads of 6 x 6 papers). The frame was waste when l cut a die,
also inked the edges with the same colour. The main image is a stamp from the urban range namely
(Gorjuss) after colouring with my Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs l cut it out and placed it so as to
look like she is swinging, also stamped out the cat to embellish the corner.
Hope you like this card and thank you for visiting my blog, and comments would be greatly
appreciated.

Dad's 65th
This card was an order from my hairdresser, for her Dad's 65th birthday.
The card itself is A5 landscape, satin gold, the image was printed from one of my C.D.'s,
l believe it was one of Lapashe's, the bamboo effect was part of the collection too. The main
topper is decoupaged and matted onto dark bronze card, I then used my Cricut for the 65 and Dad, cut
also from the same bronze card, and layered onto satin gold. I'm sure she won't mind me showing
you the finished card. Thank You for visitng my blog and any comments you wish to leave would
be greatly appreciated....
