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

girls home from school means I go out playing all day

which is so fun and crafting when I can !

Back to normal next week though!!

Happy times together

The postie dropped my new Create a Card dies through the letter box.....

I headed straight out to craft with them!!! lol no messing!!

This is what I came up with for the Daisy Dreams die!

Honest, they cut so well and this was so quick to make!!

I figured this die didn't have to be used one way or another, and

you know I like to make white cards lol!! So I decided

to create a tent fold card and have the circle offset to the right.

To make the card I used the following:

Delicate Flower die (leaves)

Leaf 2 die

Vintage Floral - Phrases stamp set

Daisy Dreams Create a Card die

White Centura Pearl Card.

Pearls and flowers from my stash.

Leaves are inked with Peeled Paint Distress ink.

Fathers Day Card

Yes you read it right !! A Father's Day card !

I am so in advance for this year !! 

I might even get some Christmas cards made this year........... 

This is so not like my cards Caitlyn

asked me if I had really made it !!! Cheeky!!

You know when you just have this urge to use an item and create

well that's what happened to me and this was the result!

I used the Cut Mat Create 1A die to make the card

and layered it with the co-ordinating 1B die from Heartfelt Creations.

I also used the smaller rectangle dies from the 1B set on the papers.

The papers are from Celebrate the Journey Paper Pad, sentiment is 

from the Classic Message set both from Heartfelt Creations.

I inked the edges with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

The stars are from Crafter's Companion and the letters are Spellbinders.

I layered the papers and stars with 3D Foam pads.

So, Isabella's card for Chris is all ready for Father's Day!

Right........... best go and do some work!!

Happy crafting!

You are AMAZING !

As some of you know from Facebook I got a Cut n Boss 

for my birthday !!! Whoop whoop !!

So I thought I would give it a spin on my Create a Card dies from Crafter's Companion!

to ink over it !! 

To make my card I used:
White wit ha hint of Gold Centura Pearl

I thought I would share this Create a Card I made using the 

Enchanted Create a Card die from Crafter's Companion.

I have to say this is one of my favourite Create a Card dies !!

You know I couldn't resist and bought two more of the new ones this week......

Just waiting for some Gilding wax to arrive and I'm off to play!!

I used Coredinations for this card and for the flowers.

Leaves are inked with distress ink and are Leaf 2 die from Die'sire.

It was a total fluke I had  the correct colour pearls ! 

Sentiment is a Sentimentals stamp.

Hope you like this!

Happy Crafting !

Stop and smell the Roses

I thought I had better get this card blogged as I have been asked how I made it !!

It is made using the Create a Card Enchanted Die from Crafter's Companion.

To make the card I cut, embossed and inked the embossed area twice.

I then cut another piece of Centura Pearl Card 1/4" larger than the die cut for both die cuts.

I then inked the edges of all the pieces and then using an edger tool roughened

up the edges and then used glitter glue lightly on the edges. 

I made a 7" x 7" Easel card and adhered the layers with 3D glue to the card.

The sentiment was stamped on the oval cut and then adhered so

 it sat lower than the front of the card.

The stopper for the card is the centre of the die cut adhered with 3D glue.

(I did cut and extra centre so that it raised evenly)

I die cut the Die'sire Leaf 2 die and using Peeled Paint distress ink

coloured them and then shaped them.

I then adhered the leaves and flowers to the card, added the gems

and Voila !!! Finished !

Leanne Chivers said on the POD shows on Ideal world this 

card would take about 20 mins to make......... She was right !!!

It really is quick and easy to make but so effective!!

Happy crafting!
