Bloom & Grow

I have four cards to share that I have created using the Rosie's Studio Bayfair Collection from Spellbinders, there is a paper collection with 6 x 6 Papers, Cardstock Ephemera, Stickers and some dies, I have just used the paper collection for these cards.

For my first card I used two of the papers and some of the ephemera, the sentiment is from the stickers.

This time I used ephemera to create a wreath and added a sentiment from the stickers.

I used Hunkydory dies to create the frame on this card and added some ephemera and another sentiment from the stickers - the fishtail flag was cut with a Die-namics die.

On my final card I created vellum borders with the romantic Slimline Borders dies from Spellbinders and cut a scalloped circle from blue cardstock to make the sentiment stand out a bit more.

That's all for now, hopefully you will visit again soon.

Believe in Yourself

I have another four cards created with the Simple Stories - Simple Vintage Flower Shoppe collection.

This time all four of my cards feature a bicycle, on this card I have used a topper from the collection along with a sentiment from the sticker sheet and three of the papers.

For this card I created a photo frame using a rectangle die and a rounded corner square die along with stickers from the sticker sheet.

 

This card features another of the toppers, a fishtail flag cut from one of the Vintage Basics papers and flowers from the cardstock pieces.

On my final card the bicycle is from the cardstock pieces, the sentiment and flowers are from the sticker sheet and I have also added a couple of fishtail banners.  All of my cards are embellished with fussy cut butterflies.

Bye for now, hopefully I will catch you again soon.

Easter Egg Hunt

I have some more Easter Cards to share today, this time I have used the Photoplay Hop TO IT collection.  All of my cards were created using just the Photoplay collection, I have only used some dies and punches to add detail.  

I used five of the papers on this card, I rounded the corners on the topper and used my Fishtail Flag dies to create the two little banners.

I used three of the papers on this card, I fussy cut the little banner, the tag is from the sticker sheet along with all of the other bits and pieces.  I also used my binding edge punch and added white twine to the tag.

For my third card I used three of the papers and one of the toppers which I framed with my Tangled Circle die.  I also used some stickers and a butterfly fussy cut from one of the patterned papers 

On my final card I used three of the papers, a topper and some stickers, I used an Inverted Corner Rectangle nesting die to cut the panels and my fishtail flag die to cut the banners.

New Beginnings

I have been a very bad blogger again, it's ages since I have posted anything!  In my defence, we have been very busy in the garden  We have made some large deep beds and have cleared the area where my old greenhouse used to be, we had to remove it to make way for my husband's cabin.  We are now in the process of creating a vegetable patch - I will share some photographs when it is all completed.

I am sharing some more cards that I created with the Crafter's Companion Make and Send pads, again I have tried to make something rather different to the examples that are given, I have used the All Occasions pad, there is also a Christmas one.

For this card I have used a couple of the papers, a topper and a fussy cut butterfly along with my Gemini Edge'ables - With Love die.

For this one I have used my Gemini Edge'ables - Moroccan Trellis dies with two of the papers, a sentiment and some more fussy cut butterflies.  I made the rosette from one of the papers using my Tim Holtz Paper Rosette Die.

This one is more like some of the samples - I have used three of the papers, a sentiment topper and two fussy cut butterflies.  I also cut out and made up one of the envelopes that are included in the pad.

For my final card I used two of the papers and my Gemini Expressions - Thanks A Bunch die, I also made up another envelope.

Thank you for popping in today, your company is much appreciated - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

Life is better with Flowers

I have created these cards with the Nature's Garden Wildflowers collection from Crafter's Companion, I think this is one of my favourite collections in the Nature's Garden range.

All of the papers that I used are from the collection and I used Copic Markers for all of the colouring.

For this card I used the Mailbox Flowers Die and Stencil Set, the Meadow Flowers Die and the Stay Wild Stamp Set.  I cut butterflies using a die fro the Sara Signature Flutterby collection.

I made this card for my Sister, I used the Mailbox Flowers Die and Stencil Set again along with the Wildflower Wreath Die, the 'Happy Birthday' is a Hunkydory Minis die and the 'Sister' is a Creative Crafting World die.

I have used the Mailbox Flowers Die and Stencil Set again, there seems to be a bit of a pattern here!  I used the Marianne CrafTables Happy Birthday die for the sentiment and cut the banner from some corrugated card, the twine is from my stash.

For my final card I used the Wonderful Wildflowers 2D Embossing Folder and the Stay Wild Stamp Set - the die cut butterflies are from the Sara Signature Flutterby collection and I cut the frame using the Topaz Ornate Nesting Dies also from Crafter's Companion.

Happy Skies Ahead

Today I am sharing some cards that I created with the Spellbinders April 2022 Card Kit - Happy Skies Ahead.  I am so behind with all of my kits, I really must make the effort to catch up!

Everything that I have used to create this card is from the kit with the exception of the yellow striped paper, I used some of the die cut shapes along with some fussy cut flowers.

Absolutely everything is from the card kit this time - papers, die cut shapes and a puffy sticker sentiment.

For this card I used three of the papers, die cut shapes, fussy cut flowers and a puffy sticker sentiment, I used my Fishtail Flag dies to cut the banners and added a vellum heart, I find the vellum really helps to separate busy patterns without adding lots of cardstock.

For my final card I used two of the papers, some of the cardstock from the kit, die cut shapes and a puffy sticker sentiment.

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.

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.

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.

Believe in Magic

I have another couple of cards to share that I have created with the Spellbinders July Cardmaking Kit.

 

I created a swing card using the Hunkdory Moonstone Scalloped Circle Swing Die, I used one of the beautiful toppers along with one of the papers and a couple of sentiments.  I cut the little stars using a Mama Elephant die that I have had in my stash for ages.

The sentiment on the other side of the scalloped circle swing is part of the Moonstone Swing Die set.

My second card uses the same topper, there are two of all the die cuts in the collection, along with three of the pretty papers and a sentiment, I cut the little banners with my Die-namics Fishtail Flag Dies.
