About Me

My photo
Alicante, Spain
Hi. I live in Spain with my partner. I am retired and LOVE it. I love life here but I do miss my family back in the UK, two sons and three sisters and my Mum. Crafting is my life, I do something every single day. In the past it has helped me get through some bad times in my life. One such bad time was when my first grandson died aged just 14 months. He had been born 8 weeks prem but was very healthy and was growing into a beautiful, bonny boy. It was such a shock when the call came. A day never passes when I dont think of him. I am now Nanna again to grand daughter, Hollie, born July 2012, and Tess born March 2016. This is my younger son and his partner. I now have another Grandson, Noah, born Nov 2013 to my elder Son and they have 3 daughters Aurora, born March 2015 and Arabella, born August 2017 and Arianna born 2019. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my makes. Please leave a comment so that I know you have visited me. I love reading them all. xxxx

Dies Challenge Day 46 & CE Quilted block striplet & Mr & Mrs & JND Gerberas

Good Morning All

I have mentioned before that I dont make many Congrats cards - Wedding - Anniversary etc.
So this is one to go in the box.
This one came about as I wanted to use Johns Ribbon Threader die.
There are many variations to this die, circle, rectangle and square or where your imagination takes you.
I first used it for my very first Crafty Ribbons DT card HERE.

I threaded pale pink seam binding from Crafty Ribbons.
Used CE Striplet to cut into the card and matted onto Gold Mirri.




I added two appropriate charms where I tied the seam binding into a bow.



The Mr & Mrs is CE too.
I cut it twice, once in pink, once in Mirri.





I cut The Joanna Sheen Heart in pink.

******************************************************

Another two cards using Johns Gerbera Die and stamps.
I absolutely love Johns flower dies and stamp sets.
They are so easy to use and line up, an ingenious idea.
A nice, bright, happy card all in yellows.
I stamped the Gerberas with Izink Miel.
Used the same ink for the edges of the embossed mat.
Added three of the flowers to the corner.
The vellum sentiment is an old one I have had for years.

My second card is a topper from Joanna Sheen I think.
It didn't really need much adding so I just stuck the last flower in the corner and added a sentiment tag.
