Butterfly Glimmer Card

Hello Everyone,

It's an extremely wet Thursday here today and looks like Friday will be more of the same.  Great weather to stay indoors with a good book, or in my case, craft away.

Today I've made a card with one of my favourite colour combos combined with one of my favourite things.  Come and take a look.




If you guessed one of my favourite things was butterflies, you are correct.  I've used Butterfly Basics stamps and co-ordinating Butterfly thinlits on this card here.  The cardstock used is Basic Black, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer.  I've used the circle framelits to cut out the centre circle and that piece was saved for another card.  I used some of the Bermuda Bay sequins on the body of the layered butterfly and a couple more on the feelers which I drew in with a silver marker.





The greeting comes from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set.  Thanks for joining me today.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
