You are the Best

I have four more cards to share that I have made with the Simple Stories Life Captured collection.


For this first card I used four of the papers, I cut a fishtail flag from one and created a base for a tag from another, the globe and sentiment is a sticker and everything else was fussy cut.


For this card I used two of the papers and two of the 3 x 4" elements, I cut the page edge with a Crafter's Companion die, I think it was from the Vintage Diary Sara Signature collection and added some fussy cut bits and bobs.


Here I have used several of the papers along with a 3 x 4" element and some stickers.


For my final card I used two of the papers, I cut the scalloped border with a Clearly Besotted die and used a Crafter's Companion stitched circle die to cut a base for the fussy cut bird and some die cut foliage.

Be you TIFUL Daisies

I am sharing four more cards that I have created with the Nature's Garden Delightful Daisies collection from Crafter's Companion.


On my first card I used the Gemini Create-a-Card Dry Stone Wall die along with one of the papers, I cut the daisies with the Dainty Daisy die and added some fussy cut butterflies, a LOTV stamped and fussy cut sentiment and some twine from my stash.


For my second card I have used two of the papers from the collection and another from my stash, I cut the doily from one of the papers and added daisies cut with the Blossoming Daisies die along with some more fussy cut butterflies and a sentiment from my stash.


For this card I used my Calais Create-a-Card die to cut the panel from one of the papers in the collection and added it to a paper from my stash.  I cut the daisies with the Blossoming Daisies die again and added a fussy cut butterfly and twine from my stash - the sentiment is a Crafter's Companion Stamp.


For my final card I used the Spring Borders Die, one of the papers and the Daisy Bloom Die and Stamp set along with another sentiment from my stash.

You're a good Egg

I know I'm a bit late but I thought I would share some more Easter cards that I didn't get around to blogging, I used the Violet Studio Hoppy Easter collection.


For this card I used three of the pretty papers, a topper and some fussy cut flowers, a very simple card.


This time I cut a banner from one of the papers and die cut a circle in the centre, I then added a little bunny face to the middle.  I added some fussy cut flowers along with a sentiment from the collection.


For this card I used a Christina Griffiths die to cut the egg shape from one of the papers and added a die cut along with some more fussy cut flowers.


Another simple card this time, a couple of papers, a topper and sentiment from the collection.

Follow your Heart

I have created some cards with the Simple Stories Life Captured collection, I'm rather enjoying making collage style cards at the moment.


For this card I created six little toppers using circle dies and then just layered up some of the elements, stickers and fussy cut bits and bobs


This time  I used one of the 3 x 4" elements along with some stickers, fussy cut pieces and die cut banners - the inspiration for this card came from the Simple Stories Idea Gallery.


This is a real collage creation, I used a doily from my stash and just layered up some labels, stickers and lots of fussy cut pieces.


For my final card I have used die cut circles again, along with some stickers and a sentiment - the inspiration for this card also came from the Simple Stories Idea Gallery.

Delightful Daisies

I have been creating some more cards with the Nature's Garden Delightful Daisies collection from Crafter's Companion, I find it quite time consuming doing all of the die cutting - I think I prefer fussy cutting, I find it much more relaxing!


For this card I used two of the papers, the Daisy Chain Border Die and the Blossoming Daisies Die.  I fussy cut some butterflies from the papers, tied a little bow with some of the seam binding in the kit and added a sentiment from my stash.


Here I have used two more of the papers, lots of daisies cut using the Blossoming Daisies Die and more  fussy cut butterflies.  The die cut sentiment is an unbranded die from my stash.


I decided to go a bit more rustic with this card - I have used one of the papers along with some corrugated cardstock.  The daisies were cut with the Blossoming Daisies Die again and I added another fussy cut butterfly along with a sentiment and some twine from my stash.


For my final card I used the Spring Borders Die, I cut two panels from the blue cardstock in the collection and teamed it up with some pale blue cardstock from my stash.  The daisies are the Blossoming Daisies Die again, the sentiment is from the Daisy Bloom Die and Stamp set, I adhered it to a vellum circle to make it stand out a bit more.

Your Sew Fine

I am sharing four more cards that I created with the Spellbinders September 2022 Card Kit, that is it for now but I still have lots left so there might be some more in the future!


Everything I have used to make this card is from the kit, I just used a circle die to cut the semi-circle of patterned paper.


For this card I used a Gemini Stitched square die and some vellum from my stash, I find the vellum really helps to separate busy patterns without adding lots of cardstock.


I just used my Fishtail Flag dies to cut one of the banners, the one with the sentiment on is from the kit.


I have not used anything apart from the kit to create this card.


Thank you for visiting my blog today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

Sew Happy

I am sharing some more cards that I have created using the Spellbinders September 2022 Card Kit, I have purchased quite a few of the older kits that were in the recent sale, so you will probably be seeing quite a few of them in the future.

This kit had a sewing theme which I rather liked, there are lots of ephemera pieces, die cuts and stickers along with cardstock, papers, dies and stamps.  I made this card using only the Card Kit.


I used a border die from the Spellbinders Slimline Border die collection along with the Embroidery Hoop dies from the kit to create this card.


For this card I used a Spellbinders Color Block Slice die to create the background.
 

For this one I used my Hunkydory Moonstone Multi Aperture Frame Die, everything else is from the Card Kit.
