Thinking of you.


As my daughter challenged me in January to not buy any crafty stash until July...
Yes ...... I know!! I had the shakes agreeing to it !! lol!
I thought I had better finally use some of the dies I have unused piled in the corner!
The die in question being the Spellbinders Floral Assortment Squares die set!

Lol I think this card took me 10 mins to make I love when I have spare flowers
and leaves in my stash that I can just pull out of my drawers! 
These are the Sunrise Lily flowers and Classic leaves from Heartfelt Creations.
Of course My true love is white card and these flowers just pop on white 
so a white on white card it had to be!! lol

It would have been my Grandmas's Birthday today, she would have been 98!
So as the sentiment says, my thoughts are with her today.

Happy crafting everyone!

Wedding gift bag


Here is my project this week for Crafter's Companion!
You know when you are busy doing something and all of a sudden
a craft idea pops into your head?? lol!
Well this popped into mine while sat in the hospital waiting room!
It took me three days to get to make it though!! lol

I thought this would make a great little gift box for a wedding 
OR it would make great confetti boxes at a wedding, or even a favour box!!
So easy to make, die cuts and a strip of card that you 
feather cut along the sides to adhere to the die cuts! 
Add ribbon for handles and decorate!

To make the project I used:
Sara Signature Floral Delight Pretty Petals die
Sara Signature Floral Delight In bloom die set
Sara Signature Together Forever Mr and Mrs Die
Sara Signature Together Forever Luxuury Matt Mirror Card
Sara Signature Love and Romance Decorative Heart die
Coredinations (leaves) 

Other Items: Ribbon, prills, pink card

Thinking of You


Here is my card this week for Crafter's Companion!
You know when you are awake in the night for hours and just can't get back to sleep?
Well this is what I came up with the other night so I just had to make it!

I wanted to use the Downton Abbey frame die with a photo.
I thought this was more than a card, it is something personal that could sit out all year long!
It would have been my Grandma's birthday this month, she LOVED lilac
so I made this with her in mind, the photo is of her in the 1940's. 
She still inspires my crafting, bless her.
Hope you like this! 

To make the card I used:
Sara Signature Floral Delight Pretty Petals die
Sara Signature Floral Delight Leafy Flourish die
Sara Signature Floral Delight Thinking of you stamp

Happy Crafting
