Fabulous Friend

 Hello bloggers!  For today's card I cut the Fan Border die in white three times.  I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet then peeled the backing sheet off anf lai down the three borders next to each other.  I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the exposed adhesive areas.  Next I cut the Ornate Label die in white and backed it in white.  I added it across the centre of the card with mounting foam.  I cut the Fabulous Friend sentiment in black and glued it across the label die.  Using the Floral Extravaganza set, I cut three flowers out of antique gold card, assembled them then added them in opposite corners.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are  6 1/2"  x  7"  in size.

I Smile When I Think Of You

 Hello crafters!  For today's card, I started by stamping the crackle stamp from the Sending Sunshine stamp set in black all the way around a piece of white card.  Next I inked it with a combination of  Picked Raspberry and Worn Lipstick.  I cut the Della die with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.   I used alcohol ink markers to colour the leaves but I paper pieced the flowers with raspberry card.  I glued the black die cut on top of the white one, then added it to the middle of the card with mounting foam.  I cut the sentiment with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I used the middle die from the Della to cut them.  I added the word to the white die cut and taped it to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white, raspberry and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"  in size.  


All for now, Sue x

You Make My Heart Bloom

Hello there my crafty friends!  Welcome to the final post of this release.  We are dedicating this post to the second of the two sentiments in this release;  You Make My Heart Bloom.  This sentiment has been done in two pieces.  Each of the words in the sentiment are hooked together, but not to each other so you can freely use this in any orientaion that you desire.  There is a shadow backing die, however, that can be used if desired but only in the single line configuration as seen in this sample card.  For the final time, leave a comment on this post and then check back the morning of the 21st of May to see if your name was the lucky name drawn out to win the collection.  All for now, Sue x

Friends Are The Best Gift

  Hello bloggers!  The first of two new sentiments is the Friends Are The Best Gift sentiment.  Shown here, it has been designed in a single line with a separate outer shadow die.  You can use the sentiment by itself in a single line or you can use the shadow backing die as I have done in the sample card shown here.  Each of the words are separate so you can use them in any orientation that you desire.  Don't forget to add your comment on the bottom of this post to make sure you have the maximum amount of entries.  That is day one finished, but I will be right back here at 6am UK time for the start of the second day.  All for now, Sue x
