Pretty Amazing

I am sharing the final three cards that I created at last years Spellbinders Weekender Virtual Retreat, it is the 2025 retreat this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it.

All three cards are created using dies by Nichol Spohr along with the Weekender Sentiment stamps.  We created the background on this card by stamping with white ink on black cardstock, I found it quite difficult to get the stamping straight!  Everything else was made using the Gathering Stitches dies.

We created the background for this card the same way as the previous one, we used the Needleworker Tool Kit dies on this one,

This card was created with Michelle Short, she is another of my favourite designers, she mainly creates clean and simple cards - something I find rather difficult.  The background is just coloured cardstock with a little ink around the edges, we used the Gathering Stitches dies again.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, your company is much appreciated. I apologise for not getting around to visit any of your blogs - I just can't seem to find the time lately!

Sunset in a Glass

These are some more of the cards that I created last year when I took part in the Spellbinders Weekender Virtual Retreat.

 

This first card was created with Kim Kesti, we used the Lush Leaves Embossing Folder and some inks to create the background - the dies are from the Sunset in a Glass and Tropical Flair collections.

This card is a Mindy Eggen design using the same dies but this time we created a galaxy background with coloured card stock, inks and some white splatters.  This was something quite different for me, I usually use patterned papers - I have to say I enjoyed making the different backgrounds.

The final card is a Vicky Papaioannou design, she is another of my favourite designers.  We used the embossing folder again for the background and added a few splatters, the dies are from the Tropical Flair Die Set.

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

Thanks a Bunch

It's been a while hasn't it, I just don't seem to be able to get organised at the moment!

I have decided to participate in the Spellbinders Weekender 2025 Virtual Retreat so I thought it was probably time to share the cards that I made during the Weekender that I took part in last year.

I really enjoyed last years retreat, it's a shame we can't join all of the sessions live, being in the UK some of the times are not very convenient but there are plenty that are OK and you can catch up with those that aren't at your convenience.

These are the two cards that we created using Yana's Poppy, I love all of Yana's Bloom collections, they are so easy to use.

The first card has quite a simple background, just coloured card stock and a little ink.  The main blooms are cut from white card stock with a little colour added using Copic markers, the gold outline is added after.

My second card has an inked and embossed background, we also added the Sunset Glass that is included in the die collection - you will see it again on some of the other cards that we created.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, your company is much appreciated.
