Good Morning Everyone,

Apologies for our absence over the last week, as you all know Phill has been extremely busy
designing New Products for all of us, along with preparing for the Trade Show starting today at The N.E.C. Birmingham.

Once again I thank each and everyone of you for your lovely comments, emails and messages on my previous posting.

Today's card is one I enjoyed creating and hope that you will to.

Listed below are the products I used to create it all of which can be found on Phill's Website:-

www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

Products used:-

8 x 8 Cream Card Blank
Cream Card Stock
Burgundy Card Stock

Sue Wilson California Corner,Border & Tags

Card Front

I started by cutting the layers for the card front
1st layer 7.25 square cut out in burgundy
2nd layer 7 x 7 square cut out in cream

I then layered together (flat) using Cosmic Shimmer Glue.

Next using Cream Card stock and the Corner Dies, I cut four of these out and attached flat to the card front.

Using the 3 largest of the Frame Dies I cut these out in alternate colours of Cream & Burgundy, and attached all three to the card using pads to give dimension.




Sentiment 
  
Using the New  From The Heart Collection Dies I chose 'Niece' from the the Female Relatives and cut this out using burgundy card stock, then attached flat to the card.




Flowers
Using the Peony Dies I cut several flowers out and shaped these before attaching t the card, I then cut out the Laurel Leaves and added to card.



Finishing Touches

I cut the butterfly out in burgundy and added Diamond Sprinkles to the wings. Then added diamond sprinkles to the flowers and leaves. Then I added pearls to the centre of the flowers.

Finally I edged the smallest cream die with Diamond Snow.

This is now ready to be attached to the 8 x 8 card blank.

                                                   Happy crafting

Blue & White - Featuring the Retirement Verse Collection Stamps

Good Morning Everyone,

Once again a very big thank you to all of you who have taken the time to comment and message me on my previous blog.

Last Monday I posted a card on the blog and was asked to make a 'Retirement' card based on the same design.

Today I would like to share my creation with you, to show how different variations can be created using the same products but with a few changes.

All the products used to create this card are available on Phill's website:-

Sue Wilson Laurel Leaves
Sue Wilson Embossing Folder Lattice Hearts

This is what I did:-

The measurements for this  are exactly the same as the one I posted on Monday.

Sentiment

Using the 2 largest dies from the Austrian Innsbruck dies I cut this out using White Card and backed it with Blue Card.

I chose a Verse from the Retirement Verse Collection Stamps and heat embossed using Silver Embossing Powder.

I then attached this to the card using pads to give dimension.

Flowers
The flowers are the same as previous blog




Finishing Touches

I added a butterfly to this card (instead of the dragonfly) which I cut out using Blue Card Stock, I then used Glossy Accent on the wings and edged them with glamour dust.

Finally I added 2 hearts to the top corners again cutting them out in blue card and using glossy accents to give dimension.

I hope you like this card and can see what a difference a few alterations can make.

Then using the Bracket Icon Stamps I stamped around the edge and used Silver Embossing Powder, and attached flat to the main card.

Next I cut a piece of White Card Stock to fit into the design and stamped around the edges with the Small Bracket from the Icon Set  using Black Soot Distress Ink and attached flat to the card.

Then I cut a piece of black card to fit and also white card for layering and attached both of these to the card using pads.

Finally I cut a piece of black card and using the Bracket Birthday Verse I stamped this and embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder, and attached to the card using pads.
