Birds and Blooms paper pad, classic leaf die and open leaf stamp,

Botanical Rose stamp and die from Heartfelt Creations.

I love layers so I cut out the layers of the card front and used 3D foam pads 

to create definition, of course I glittered up the flowers on the paper,

the edges of the layers and those butterflies !!! 

Have a great day !

Happy Crafting

A card the same but different !

A quick card I thought I would share today.

I used Spellbinders Mystical Embrace die for the card.

I loved the card I made the other week using this

centre image and sentiment and I wanted to see

what it looked like on a die cut! 

Two cards the same but different!

My other card was this one :

As you can see I used the Delightful Daisy stamp and die

too along with the papers from Heartfelt Creations.

Of course I had to glitter it up too and add some bling !! lol

Happy crafting !!

All my Love

I created this card for CCIDT !

I have great fun distressing all those edges ! 

Its so therapeutic!

I am never any good at using up leftovers from a project,

but this time I used the papers left over from

my treat box last week !

I had this card in my mind while I made the box

I just ran out of time so its been whizzing round all this time until I

managed to sit and craft !!! The joys f having two
