Good afternoon craft friends, followers and visitors, warm welcome to Jackie and Karla, thank you for following me..

Thank you everyone who left a comment and get well wishes on my card on Saturday, it makes you realise how many kind cyber blog friends call and see you...xxxxxxxxxxxxx.


My card today is Iris flowers by "Frantic Stamper" ....I cut these out and was stumped, how was I supposed to glue and shape them...did my best..Think they look like an Iris..LOL.. just glued the bottom together!!! if you understand..they were cut with oyster pearl card, shaded with "Adirondack" Denim ink and Wink Of stella "Glitter Orange Pen"..

Tried to make one whole flower, one just opening and a bud...

















Think I will have to have another go when I have Time..LOL..

Love these stitched squares by Memory Box "Open Studio" Stitched Square Layers. made a frame from largest and third size.. outside one raised with foam tape.. this is sat on ..Spellbinders 3d Em-bossing folder "Decorative Applause".. it is 6x6 so I covered up some outside edge with a frame from discontinued grand squares to make a 6x6 card size..
Finished with spider webb and chiffon ribbon, Elegant vine sprays.



Thank you for calling by and if you leave a comment, I really appreciate them..Pam x

Hi crafty friends, followers and visitors, Back at last sorry been missing for 10days!!!.

Really was a nasty flu virus, hope I never get another dose, ended up on Antibiotics for a chest infection and pulled ribs, which are still sore..

Will try to catch up on your Blogs (Sorry)...

Hope you are all well and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Seem to have lost my Mojo, have not done a card for so long...

These Lilac flowers are a bit fiddly by "Frantic Stamper" could have done one spray I suppose!!! instead of three. you get the main spray  and tiny flowers to layer up I did these in card and velum.
added Elegant Vine leaf spray..

Main frame Frantic "Elements#7 - coved Labels"  cut in Lilac card and white..

Made stick pins with a chiffon bow.. old memory box stamp.

Good afternoon friends, followers and visitors, welcome to new follower Chris, thank you for joining me..


This card uses the New  Frantic Stamper Inc  "Winter Church In The Wildwood panel" die.
here at Oyster Stamps  ..

quite enjoyed making this, really different  this die.. 

I cut two panels for stability added bright yellow between the Church, looks like lights are on, all coloured with distress inks, next added dries white pva glue, with a sprinkle of glamour dust.

next I cut spellbinders grand labels  1..with matting basic A2..to make a frame..adhered the panel to this wrong side, cut a Decorative labels eight.. in blue, then by hand cut away the centre to make a frame adhered  as shown. 

This was the added to the largest  grand labels with foam tape..

(cut two) to make a top opener card.

think it makes it pop more not being flat on a card base.  love the cute rabbit & birds (I made Robins).

card size 8"x 8"

Both these heart dies match each other, started with a white card size 61/2" x 61/2"  cut the heart shape with " Loved filled heart die", then embossed with C/C "Poetry embossing folder... this has been 3d  foamed onto a touch lager purple mat, then I cut "Heart strings" die, glittered and placed in the cut out.
Flower have been cut with White card & mulberry papers ( had this for years new it would come in handy one day)...backing paper from my stash...
