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.

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.

So Egg-cited!

I have been making some Easter Cards with the Violet Studios Hoppy Easter collection that I picked up  from Crafter's Companion.  Everything I have used to create these four cards is from the collection apart from some scraps of ribbon and twine from my stash.

I used a  Tim Holtz die to create the label on this card along with a scalloped edge die from Clearly Besotted.  The gems are from Hunkydory and the ribbon and twine are from my stash.

All I have added to this card is a gem from Hunkydory, everything else is from the Hoppy Easter collection.

The stitched square die on this card is from Hunkydory, it is an older die that I was given when I was on their design team back in 2019.

I used the Easter egg die from the Sara Davies Easter Signature Collection from last year along with some older Die-namics oval dies to create the little basket and some more gems from Hunkydory.

I'm sorry if I haven't managed to get around to visit everyone yet, I promise I will shortly.  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.

Mother's Day Daisies

This is the Mother's Day card that I made for my Mother-in-Law this year, I find it very difficult to create cards for family and close friends!

I used papers, cardstock and dies from the Nature's Garden Delightful Daisies collection by Crafter's Companion, the sentiment is an unbranded die.
