TUESDAY TUTORIAL ~ LOVE YOU FOREVER


Hi friends... thanks for popping by

We have a CAS card (clean and simple) for today's tutorial, so let's get started


The above card is today's tutorial
I began with a white DL card base and decided to use it landscape



I cut a strip of black card for the centre of the card then a piece of white card that was pre-embossed from one of my paper pads by Craftwork Cards.  This card stock and designs are top quality.
I adhered the pre-embossed white card onto the black card then to the card base using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear PVA Glue by CE


The card is now prepared for the embellishments and I used several elements from the Prospectives - Love Die Set by SW for CE


Using black card stock I die cut 'LOVE' separately, 3 times, then, once only for 'YOU' and 'FOREVER'
I adhered the 3 LOVE to each other to give dimension and position it onto the card.  I used spray adhesive by Crafter's Companion, to adhere 'YOU' in position on the card and again with 'FOREVER'


A verse was inserted to complete the card

Thank you for visiting, all your comments are very appreciated
Happy crafting...

BLACK, WHITE, RED AND A LITTLE GLITTER


Hi friends... thanks for popping by and welcome to a new follower, Shirley-Anne :)

The base card I have used is an A5 white card with scalloped edging.  To this I added mat and layers of pretty red paper, from my stash, alternating with white card and finishing with a red top layer.  I used both the outer and inner dies from the Cascading Butterflies set to create the main focal point.  Once cut I then embossed the butterflies using *Ocean Waves EF.  These were then adhered to the card and the outer die cut was placed on top of the image.  I sprinkled a little Glamour Dust around the outer parts of the butterflies,
I then cut and embossed 3 of the Daisy Cluster Die Set in black and adhered these together to give some dimension and with the other set of the 3 flower die I cut and embossed that onto white card.  These were then adhered to the daisy cluster and black flat back pearls were added to the centres. 
To complete I added  3 more black flat back  pearls to the top right of the card, stamped a verse and inserted it inside the card
*If you click onto the card image you will see the embossed detail on the butterflies


Tomorrow is Tuesday Tutorial, it'll be good to see you here again

JUST FOR YOU ~ SATURDAY SPECIAL GIVE-AWAY CARD


Hi friends, thanks for popping by...


This is a grey and white (with just the tiniest hint of blush pink) card.
Off camera the card is not as dark as it's showing here!  When I attempted lightening it the result was not good.
If you would like to give this card a new home just leave me a comment and the winner will be announced Monday.
International friends are very welcome too!


This is a closer shot of the card, it's only a tad better than the one above, but you can see the sparkles more on this one

BELIEVE


Hi friends... thanks for popping by
Today's colour theme is teal and white.
I have used a selection of dies from Spellbinder's Persian Accents Set.  The border die for the bottom on my card, one corner piece , as shown, and one other for the main focal point.
I cut two borders, one in white and the other on the teal card.  I slightly overlapped the white underneath the teal to give a shadow effect.  The corners were die cut and I added white card to the back for contrast.
Next, using white card, I die cut 3 more pieces from the set.  I snipped off one of the pointed pieces on the two outer die cuts, making it less bulky to cut out .  One of Phill Martin's/Sentimentally Yours  stamp range was used to stamp the sentiment
That's all for today.
Don't forget tomorrow is the Saturday Special Give-Away Card!

WISHING YOU A HAPPY DAY


Hello friends... thanks for popping by
This is a DL size white card base and if you were wanting to post it you would either need a card box or a padded envelope.  If I am handing one of my cards to someone and there is quite a bit of dimension I use either one of my card boxes or I wrap the card in pretty tissue paper and add a ribbon and tag
From my stash I die cut a piece of white and grey paper using the double ended pierced tag die and adhered this to the card base.  I tightly tied, in the middle, some white tulle  and adhered that onto the paper panel.  I then used a thin strip of red line tape to the left side of the card and placed the  Royal Love topper, that I had previously die cut and sprinkled with  Diamond Sprinkles
From my stash I adhered one peach, one pink and one pale yellow rose to the centre of the panel, then added, again from my stash, two pale pink flowers.  I also found some thin gold 'wire' (in my stash and I apologise as I do not have any recollection of buying it!) and curled it prior to placing it at the top and bottom of the flowers
I stamped the sentiment onto white pearlised card, die cut it with a smaller pierced flag, added mounting foam to the back for dimension and adhered it, at a 'jaunty' angle to the base of my card
A verse was inserted and 3 white flat back pearls to the right hand corners of the card

Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving me a comment, which I do read and appreciate
