Dies Challenge Day 25 & CE Cygnus

Good Morning All

I dont make many Wedding or Congratulation Cards so here is one that could be either Wedding, Engagement or Anniversary.

I used a die that my crafty friend Lyn bought me for Christmas afew years ago before she headed back to UK , Creative Expressions Cygnus.

I  backed it onto  Embossed card using a Tied together EF

I used a piece of card I had made using dried up Gikding Polish,

(see my post here)

and I punched some tiny flowers from the leftovers too.

Both sentiment tags are from the XCut set I use all the time and stamp different sentiments.

Die Challenge Day 21 & Card Making Magic Box & Trellis

Good Morning All

Card Making Magic is the order of the post today.

I love anything Trellis and this die from Christina is perfect for either a card or a box.

I made the box using another of Christina's dies and you get some lovely dies included that can be used for embellishing like these  delicate leaf sprigs which I coloured pink.

I found two vibrant pink flowers in my stash.

This is the box empty.

Here is the box with my card inside.

You can see the swirls abit more on this picture, they are included with the box die too.

This is the card which is 5x7 as that is the size of the box. I embossed a piece of silver mirri card with a folder from  Crafts Too.

The die is from Creative Expressions, as is the Flowers die, Perfect Peony.

The Happy Birthday is again included with Christina's Box die set.

I cut it twice and lightly highlighted one with pink ink.

Dies Challenge Day 19 & Emboss Folder, Sketch, Happy Sunday

Good Morning All

It was lovely to get back to Craft Club on Friday.

Some of us did meet up last week just for a natter but it was lovely to see everyone crafting again.
Our best wishes go to one of my ladies, Pat, she had a pacemaker fitted  while we were off.
So wish her a speedy recovery.
*******

Todays post is for a sketch challenge I set my ladies at Club on Friday.

It has a die on  that I have used before, Creative Expressions Pierced Ovals.

So this post is for my Embossing Folder, as I am challenging myself to use all these too.

I have used a stamp that John demoed on Hochanda from Two Jays.

I bought two and I thought this one would be great for Sympathy cards.

I  coloured it the way John did, with inks.

The Emboss Folder is from Craftwell and the striped ribbon is some I bought at Ally Pally when I helped John afew years ago

I rubbed some Mica Magics on the emboss folder to colour a little bit and give it abit of a sheen.

I tied the sentiment tag in with Organza ribbon.
