Sending Love and Sympathy.

Good afternoon friends and visitors..

Sharing today a simple Sympathy card I made yesterday.

Jeanine`s Art "Cross"  Oyster stamps  

This is how this die cuts..Top left I used both these dies together..cuts a lacy cross and a frame.

Bottom left outline die just cuts a solid shape.

Right photo.. layered up (no Glue) 

I have used a delicate blue card for the solid Cross shape. tiny blue pearls.

Embossed white card using my Sizzix 656503 (two pkt set)

layered up onto blue card.

Main card 7.1/2" x 6" .. I have embossed the card front with my old Spellbind Grand Rectagle die.

Sentiment by Stampin Up stamps. Love and Sympathy, Archival "Watering Can" ink.

Lacy Frame . Easel Card.

Good afternoon friends and visitors, very warm sunny day after a cool start this morning, hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather, afraid to hot for me..

Had this idea to make an open lacy easel  card as soon as I saw this beautiful Rose frame die by Jeanine`s Art.. 

Hope you think it`s as pretty as me..

How I started below..

I have cut Two Lacy Rose frames, to adhere together for stability, 

Using  Creative Express "Noble Pinpoint Squares.. I needed an inside frame 4.7/8 x 5.3/4" by 1/2" wide..this is perfect to adhere to this tiny edge of the rose frame.I used one frame on the front and one on the back.

A4 card I cut to 5.3/4" along long edge.

Score in half..

Next using the same square die 4.7/8.. as I used for the centre frame..I die cut as shown..

Remove the square it has cut ..Find the centre on side frame and score for your easel.

I have adhered my lacy square with frame.. to the bottom half of the easel below the scored  fold only Arms & Bottom...

"Happy Birthday" has been cut away from Poppystamps "Happy Birthday Tag.

I cut twice on a strip of card using the "Rose Border" adhered one cut only to the front as shown and the plain card, left my other unglued to use as a stopper. 

Poppystamp "Heart Swoosh" this cuts the heart out, I filled with pva glue, filled this with..iridescence glass micro beads/white.. infilled with Sparkling Dust. 

Would make a lovely Wedding card, this style..think I be doing more! now I know how..

Just Saying Hello..

Good morning friends and visitors.. My day over on Poppystamps blog today..

Sharing my card  http://poppystamps.typepad.com/

my favourite flowers are Poppies! red or any colour, love the delicate petals on these flowers..I have tried to capture this on these petals..using Poppystamps "Blooming Poppy die"

Hope you do not think these Poppies  look messy!! lol.. to me that`s  how our Poppies  look in the UK..
I normally use a crepe paper. you have to be careful as this is not colour fast with water..

OK this is the product I have used..had in my stash for years..Good old Coffee Filters!!! bet your thinking I`ve gone mad!!!  here is how..

Leave the coffee filters as they are double, ink with a blending tool, I used distress "fired brick"  ink both side.

Spray with plenty of water and dry with a heat tool.. Next cut out just the petals from Poppystamps. Blooming Poppy die.

This is how I add shape.. moulding mat and ball tool..I separated the two of each from the coffee filter..top are ones as they have been cut..bottom petals have been shaped, it is a strong paper even when wet..

 One set of petals on the left..right side flower made ..I dipped just the  centre of the petal in the glue.. adhered as shown..before you add the last bottom petal, glue the black stamen in.

I also added some glossy accents to the back, gave more stability to the flower.

Close up of Blooming Poppies on dark green stems.. Gental Leaf Collage for the background, shaded with distress ink Tumbled Glass, dot of green are from Poppystamps New "Studio Blotter" CL449 clear stamps, infilled with "Heart Screen" die cuts.
Just Saying from "Sentiment Of Hello" CL451 stamps with "Little Luxe Hello die cut in white card shadowed with green card.

Hope you like my take on Poppy flowers..

Butterfly and heart.

Hello friends and visitors.. made this card today, in this extreme heat!!! wish my craft room was the other side of  our house..from dinner till the sun goes down I have the sun blaring in, roller blinds don`t help much, ought to get more black out blinds like we have at other windows..well enough of me complaining..on to my card.

I wanted another go at this Concord & 9th.. Butterfly Card Dies. does make a fastener on a gate fold card front..  I just wanted the butterfly in coloured glitters.

I watched  Dave from Memory Box doing this technique http://davebrethauer.typepad.com/outsidethebox/2017/03/glitter-inlay-technique.html 

I have mixed Martha Stewart Glitters and Micro Beads in the similar colours.

The out line butterfly has no cutting edge, I hand cut with scissors after applying onto the plain sticky one..

  

Butterfly and Rose Heart I have used..


I made a square 6" x 6" with Creative Expression.. Pinpoint Noble dies..Then used an old Little B. heart to cut the heart shape, as this Rose Heart cuts as shown.I doubled up to create depth, leaves coloured with pro marker.

Inside the heart is embossed card, using  Darice "Wire Fence. embossing folder.
Alexandra  Renke "I believe In You"  also glittered.  and Poppystamps Bow & String, This with the two hearts I have used  Dress My Craft.."Sparkling Dust" 

Hope like me you like this technique using assorted coloured glitter.

Thank you for stopping by Pam xx.
