Cocktails

Hi there on this bank holiday Monday. I hope you had a good weekend. I have a card to share with you, following on from the same theme as last week's cards. I just adore this topper with all the array of vibrant colours going on, the palm leaf background border and the orchid make it look tropical too, prefect for this summer.

Cocktail time.

Hi there on this Thursday morning. I hope you are fine and keeping alright. I thought I'd share this summer inspired card with you today. I decided to use a book of craft papers that came free inside August 2016 Making cards magazine. I thought this project refleated the lovely hot weather we are experiencing at the moment. I have a few more cards to share with you with the same papers. Please check in next time for more inspiration. Thanks for joining me and Happy Crafting!

Layered flower.

Hi there on this Wednesday morning. I hope you are well and enjoying your day.
I thought I'd share another card featuring chloe's layered flower dies, they stay in the card but you also have the option to snip them out if you like. There are three different sizes and they cut perfectly.
I started my project by cutting the layered flowers in my card first, using all the 3 sizes in opposite corners of the card. I cut 4 of each size from coloured vellum, 12 in total then layered them onto the flower layers on the card. I adhered  2 swirly die cuts in the space between the layered flower corners and a silver embossed sentiment backed in silver in the centre. The leave's are from silver fun foam i tucked these behind the flowers. I adhered this to my prepared layered background and finished by adding gems to the centres of the flowers and sentiment.

Celebrate in style.

Hi there on this lovely sunny day. I hope you are well and enjoying your day so far. I thought I'd share this Chloe inspired card with you today.
I used lots of mats and layers on this card to give it extra dimension. I heat embossed chloe's four petal flower stamp onto pearlesant paper with Chloe's wow embossing glitter. I started with the largest flower first then stacked them on top of one another to give them a fuller bloom then decorated the centres with a pearl. I tucked decorative foliage behind the flowers in white pearlesant paper and backed the sentiment with a circle edged with pearls behind which i backed with a fancy circle. This card would suit a special occasion just change the sentiment.

Beach hut scene.

Hi there on this sunny Thursday afternoon. I hope you are well and enjoying your day. I have a quick seaside inspired card to share with you today. I love these toppers they are from the original art work from Michael Powell from a past collection from docrafts..
I started by cutting a piece of yellow card then adhered it onto my base card. I cut a stripe of corrugated card and wind string round the middle then adhered it onto my yellow piece of card. I backed my topper onto red card then arranged this and all the other elements onto my card and adhered..Hope you like !!!

Cherry blossom.

Hi there on this Wednesday Morning...we are going though a cold spell at the moment but we are expected to get some warmer weather at the end of the week.
I have been watching the Cherry blossom tree coming out in our garden, it always brings lovely spring colour,  but unfortunately it doesn't last long, which is a pity because it looks so beautiful...which  brings me to my card today. I was so inspired that i had to feature the Cherry blossom in my card... I used stripes of washi tape for the background and the tag was an after thought I popped on with a tassel..hope you like it!!

Lovely.

Hi there on this Tuesday Morning . Hope you are well and enjoying your day. I have a quick and simple card to share with you today...
I cut a butterfly in the card topper to form a aperture so you could see though into the washi tape background. I made this background by running three stripes across my card with different patterned washi tape.

 I spitzed cosmic shimmer mist on the butterfly topper. I stamped "you are lovely" in black   ink   and added a ribbon loop behind the topper and glittery flower on top... I hope you like   it!! Thanks for calling in and happy crafting!!
