You have the potential ......

I just LOVE the sentiment !

You have the potential to make beautiful things !

And don't we just !! 

This is my card for Crafters Companion Die'sire Team this week.

Click on the pic and it will take you to their site.

I used two embossing folders and my Ultimate Pro

to create the embossed card. It was VERY easy to do !

And wow look at how well the Embossalicious folders emboss !

My other half took hold of it and was so impressed, he could see

the embossing without having his glasses on even !

And boy that says something as he is as blind as a bat without them !!!

Hehe !! How do you think I sneak my crafty stash in otherwise !!!

To make the flower and leaves I used Coredinations card and sanding kit.

I just love the way it looks when you sand it.

Oh and I embossed the leaves too !

To make this card I used the following:

Die'sire Leaf 2

Die'sire Large Sunflower

Die'sire Sentimentals - Nature stamps

Embossalicious folder - Regency Swirls

Embossalicious folder - Dottie

Centura Pearl snow white with a hint of silver card

3D Glue

Ultimate Pro (to score the straight lines on after embossing)

Thanks for looking

Happy Crafting !

White on White Wedding

Well this time at Forever Friends the Fortnightly Challenge is a White on White card !! I knew exactly what I was going to do for this as soon as I saw the challenge !!! Our fantastic sponsors this week are Whimsy Stamps ! Come and join in the challenge !! Also check out the Monthly Challenge too, the DT have some great creations there !!

I used a Martha Stewart border punch for the lacy edging, a heart embossing folder to create texture on the card, Magnolia tag, flowers and a swirl and some gorgeous heart pins in the flowers !! I am really pleased with this card ! I started out on my first white on white card hating doing it .................... but I have to say I really enjoyed making this and really love the effect. Cant wait till my cousin gets wed in Sept so I can give it to them !!!

Happy crafting !!!

White On White ......

Mmm ok I made one !!!! It took me a month to think about this and I started it last night finishing it off today. There's so much glitter on it it took all night to dry !!!! So thanks Margaret for the challenge ........... it sure was one !!!

This card is for our Christmas card gang, we challenge each other every two weeks to make a Christmas card. Check out the other ladies cards on my side bar !!

So I used 1 white card !!! glittered the edges and then placed a smaller square using foam mount to give a raised effect on the card. I used a snowflake embossing folder and placed that raised onto another white card glittered around the edge. The idea was to give definition ........... My old faithful Cricut machine came into use for the wording which I smothered in Stickles !!! Again I used foam pads to raise it so you could see it !! BUT what I really love on this card are the stars and flowers !!

These are the new Marianne Bauble dies. I cut them and smothered them in Stickles (told you I had loads of glitter to dry last night!!!) used small flowers and then a leaf punch from Martha Stewart placing them all in the middle of the dry star !! so while I may not have liked WOW I will be using these stars on my cards again !! (in fact don't be suprised if there isn't one on the next post !!) I did however get to use up loads of white bits of card I had accumulated on my desk !!

Apologies for the photos, so not good to take pics of WOW ........... !!!
