A Great Gran's Flowery Explosion

 
This is an A4 Card I cut out the two mats in matching colours one plane and on a pearly card stock which I embossed. I rpinted the greeting direct to the card and the tag befor cutting it.

I used all my spellbinder flower and leaf dies with different shades of plain and patterned paper made up the flowers then decided which ones to use and were to place them.

I then used the romantic rectangle to cut the label also inking it before removing it from the die and made a treble bow. I stuck them using Glue gel. I finished with a few gems for the flower centers and a little glitter

A row of Flowers

    

This card I used my m bossibilities and spellbinder flowers and some inspiration from Sue Wilson.
I cut my 2 mats Deep lavender and pearl white to use with an A5 card I pin pricked the outer edge of the card with a Tim Holts ruler. I embossed the pearl white card and stuck it to the lavender card I then cut out my flowers and leaves four of each inked them while they were still in the dies Stamped the greetings and cut with a die inking before removing it from the die.

I chose two ribbons both in shades of lavenders aithough the colours do not look great in the pictures, I do appologise must get my lighting right.

I put the card together I'm really pleased with the final result.

Fluttering By with Spellbinders

 
 


I chose my colours white and Turquoise firstly I used several butterfly dies from different sets for this card and one was large enough to stamp the greeting on to, I used "Beautiful Wishes" stamp collection from Creative Expressions and another for the birthday age.

I embossed the top matt with an M bossibilities rounded the corners and cut a slightly larger matt in a Turquoise card I used Vellum in the same colour as a ribbon around the center of the card. I finished with three gems and some faux stitching around the edge of the card using a Sakura glitter pen.

I used the buttons and added a gem between them and personalised with a name. I added the text and added a few more faux pearls which i re coloured using the fill tool I finished by adding ear rings I printed the card. I then removed all the layers except the buttons and one earring which i then printed again to use as decoupage. I added glaze to these then put the card together.

Bitty Blossoms,
Ribbon buckles
Romantic Rectangles
A3 card to fold as the main card base
Pink card
Black sparkle paper
Length of black ribbon

I then cut the Buckle, Bitty blossoms, leaves and the greeting plate which I had printed out. made up the blossoms drew round cut an extra mat from the romantic rectangle I had used for the greeting, I then started to make the card I threaded the ribbon through the buckle and stuck it to the pink piece of card, then stuck this to the card base I decided were I wanted to place the blossoms and stuck them into place added the greeting to the mat and placed this onto the card. I finished with some glitter and a gem for the middle of the buckle.

Voucher Wallet

I created this wallet for a Voucher I used cream card placed the voucher onto the card and using a creasing board embossed double lines were I wanted the wallet to fold corner round scissors for the corners of the flap also my crafters companion ultimate to add the fancy edge on the flap. I decorated the flap with tapestry stamps ( Garden of Bee Balm) I have not used these in a while and decided to play I finished with a little glitter and a Brown piece of tape which made a bow at one end and used it as a wrap around

Fancy Spellbinder

Another fancy fold concept from Sue Wilson. I used my new dies "Wings of Hope", Samantha Walker's "Antique Frames and Accents" , "Damask Accents" and a Papermania Sister stamp.
I decided to create a tone on tone card using to types of cream card one matt and one pearlised.
The tutorial for the fancy fold is on Sue Wilson's Blog "Parti crafts" and is list on the right side of my blog. I cut the border and liked the negative pieces that i also used both side and raised the actual border slightly as you

can use little bitty foam squares to stick it down. I coloured the butterfly while it was still in the die with Antique linen distress ink and it just gave a slight shadow effect. The sister stamp I used Adirondack Woodlands ink its a rainbow ink pad with four beautiful earth tones I used the brown and peachy colour I then cut it out sprayed it with adhesive and covered it with crystal glitter I stamped the greeting using the same Adirondack ink to the centre panel. and finished with Cosmic Shimmer PVA dark bronze and Olympic gold.
Thanks
