Thank You Streamer.

Good morning crafty friends and visitors.

Sharing my post from over on Poppystamps blog ..

I have been playing with my  "Amour Stackables Background plates" from Birch Press Design, this is another part of Memory Box. 

Birch Press Designs

I have used for this background "Amour background Plates" B & C.. Pink and Cream card, "Sylvan Frame" by Poppystamps Green card, this was a bit of an experiment to see how they look to-gather..

Below showing I cut B plate  in Pink  with C plate in cream card..

 Next rather than adhere together with glue, I have used foam sticky pads, another experiment! must say I love this look. 

Adhered onto cream background panel,  Thank you Streamer in silver shadowed with green. Finished of with Poppystamps "Sylvan Frame".

Shaping these  "Blooming Blossom"  petals to layer together with glue, on my very messy foam mat (sorry) and ball tool.

I arrange these flowers as shown in two corners... Using  hot glue  from my gun, one flower at a time as I was adding a silver bead to the center of each flower, before the glue set.

I hope I have given you some ideas to mix your dies, so you can get different looks. 

This would make a lovely Wedding/Anniversary/Special Friend card, don`t you think.

Thank you for stopping by Pam x.

Count The Blessings.

Good morning crafty friends and visitors..

Sharing my card from over on   Poppystamps Blog  today.

 I have used Poppystamps  "Garden Lantern" to create an outdoor scene, roll on summer!.  Thought this lovely sentiment from Poppystamps "Into The Words"  very apt for using with these candles. stamped onto and die cut using "Stitched Tunnel Tags".

This is how I created the crackle effect on the lantern, apply a good coverage and leave to dry, as it dries it crackles. 

Hope you can see the crackle on the " Garden Lantern"  with Freida Leaf for embellishment with  "Formal Candles" 

"Preppy Flowers" with "Toadstools" along the bottom of this panel,  these I cut in beige for the stalks and red for the top, added some white dots with my pen. 

Thank you for stopping by today Pam x

Bow Card.

Hi crafty friends and followers, hope you are having a wonderful Easter Holiday..

I have been having a play with an idea..

I have seen a few of these "Bow cards" around that use a template.

So I got to thinking if "Tattered Lace " Mega Bow Die set I have would make a similar card.

Not bad I think!! not saying will make another though.

If I did another I would use lighter weight cream card for the bows! this is around 250gsm it is to much with my favorite papers "Dovecraft Floral Muse".

Pretty cream lace from my sewing days.
Roses I think from Ribbon Box, had for a long time, great to be able to use at last.

I have inked paper & card edges with Distress Ink "Tattered Rose"
Pink string beads from E-Bay.

Base card Tattered Lace "Hexagon Shape".

I have done some distressing with white Gesso on these pretty roses and a touch of splattering.

This is the Tattered lace die I have used.

All together I cut... First (largest size) twice in cream card and twice in the next size down for patterned paper mat,
Smaller bow Smallest size twice in cream.. I then drew around the inside edge of this die onto pattered paper, to get a smaller mat.
All edges have been inked with Tattered Rose ink.. adhered these cream and patterned bows together with pva glue.
Next I curved  around my rolling pin.. to add shape.  glue each end to the center to form a bow!
To get a slanted bow shape as shown, you need to cut these bows in half and adhere onto a any card shape..I used TL Hexagon..
Lace and flowers where added next..

Dandelion Stem.

Good morning everyone..
Sharing my post from  http://poppystamps.typepad.com/  blog to-day

Love using flowers and pretty borders, thought I would share how easy it is to make a lacy frame from a border die.

See what I mean! how pretty is this frame and these gorgeous Dandelion Stems both from Poppystamps.

I made a frame with dies from my stash! you could do this with a cutter or craft knife and pencil lines ...Poppystamps "Pretty Stitches" border measure`s  5.1/2" long..my inside frame measure`s the same 5.1/2" outside measure`s 6.1/2" ..this make`s   1/2" frame, ..in the photo I have cut 4 borders , adhered two on the reverse to show, this you do to these 4 borders.

How pretty does this frame look.. I used 3d foam tape to apply to my Lilac background.

I wanted some feature on the background..this is another very easy thing to do.  6.1/2" square Lilac card.. find the center .. using Memory Box..Open Studio Stitched Oval Layers, tape as shown..NEXT   run through your machine to Emboss these dies (Not Cut), next while still on the card run a line of glue center ovals, remove these and add loose glitter, I use Glamour Dust.

Few splatters of white paint on the background, two Dandelion stems adhered the center of the flower only, to finish liquid pearls, with two ribbon swirls from  Open Studio "Banner Parade" ..sentiment from CL443. Grateful Heart stamp set by Poppystamps.

Fathers Day card.

Good morning everyone, had a day making a card yesterday! after house work.. 

Do not like making any men`s cards..seem to take forever and still do not like what I have made lol.

6"x^.1/2" card size. Grey & Black.

I have used Memory Box  "Workshop Frame" cut in silver mirri card & grey card, used a black pro marker on tools I thought had handles, My late Dad would have loved this! he always was fixing things, really miss getting on the phone for help.

Ever had a stamp! think you know where it is!!! I wanted to use this Happy Fathers day and Mr Fix It old stamps in my stash, took a couple of hours to find them.. not the place I thought I had put them..what a day.

I have infilled with the grey card. 

Topper layered onto black.

                                         

How I coloured in an embossing folder..

I have used cream card so you can see it in the folder.  

Using a brayer and Tim Holtz "New Oxide ink" Iced Spruce.. ink your roller, by running over the ink pad..I inked debossed side of the folder ..If you feel the pattern in your folder you want the DEBOSSED side! you finger will go into the pattern (hope you understand).. put your card piece in the folder, run through your die cutting machine. so you`ll have Cream raised pattern and a coloured background..

Finished with a couple brads and charm.
