Fleur de Lis Pendant Card

 

I bought the Fleur de Lis pendant from Spellbinders awhile back, but hadn’t had a chance to play with it yet.  So, yesterday I decided I had best do something with the set.  I remembered an awesome card I had seen and decided to make one like it.  The card was made by Becca over at Amazing Paper Grace.  If you haven’t been to her blog  yet, you really should….Becca is so talented and offers up so much inspiration!

I think I achieved what I wanted, and that was to have a bit of a snowflake look for this card.  The Fleur de lis is so lacy and delicate, perfect for snowflakes!

I wanted to show a bit of a side view, as the card is very dimensional.  This card also uses the new Spellbinders Fancy Tags, isn’t this one gorgeous?  The sentiment is from Cornish Heritage Farms.  Paper is My Mind’s Eye, and Bazzill.  Center pearl is K and Co., bling is from Kaisercraft.

On another note, the weather here has cooled off!!  YEAH!!  It was so hot and humid here for a couple weeks, made it unbearable to do most anything.  I am just loving this drop in temperature, as I am sure most everyone is!  I hope the weather is beautiful wherever you are today!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

‘Tis the season…

Urgh…ok, who am I fooling?  It’s hard to make Christmas cards when it’s so hot and humid outside!  My mind is definitely not on anything related to Christmas!  However, I did have fun playing with Glitter Ritz and Peel Offs.  This is another card for my class at Photo Memories.  The sentiment stamp is from Cornish Heritage Farms.  It was stamped with the glue pad and then glittered. 

In the pictures, the glitter doesn’t look to match the paper, but irl the glitter is teal just like the paper.  I need to learn more about taking pictures!  lol

Thank you so much for stopping by tonight,

Glitter Ritz Cards

I am going to be teaching a class at Photo Memories in Halifax the 3rd week of September.  This is a bit of a sneak peek.  I already dropped one card off but forgot to take a picture! lol  Anyway, the class will be all about using a fantastic product called Glitter Ritz with Sookwang Double Sided Adhesive.  I love bling and these cards sparkle and shine like you wouldn’t believe in real life. 

 The main image is from Inkadinkado, sentiment is from Cornish Heritage Farms.  I will be showing how to do the border on the side as well as using glitter with the glue pad.

The sentiment on this card is from Cornish Heritage Farms.  This second card uses Nestibilites and the glue pad with the glitters.  This should be a fun class…messy though.  I am covered with glitter this morning as well as my table and room!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Created Byhand Challenge – Animals or Pets

 

This weeks challenge at Created Byhand is to create a piece using an animal or pet.  I decided to use a new stamp from a clear set made by Inkadinkado.  The sentiment is made by Quietfire Design.  I kept it fairly simple this time.  Basic stamping and a bit of distressing.  I added some natural hemp and some dew drops for a bit of interest. 

If you have time you should join in on the weekly challenges!  It is so interesting to see everyone’s interpretation of the theme.

Thank you for including me in your day,

:)

Playing with my Silhouette

 

I have had so much fun playing with my Silhoette.  I thought it was time to share a couple cards I have made with it.  I tend to get carried away just cutting different things and putting them in a box to use one day…lol  It’s great seeing what this machine can do!

This card was made for a friend, I thought she would probably get a chuckle out of it!  Everything was cut with the Silhouette and the words are from Amuse, the alphabet is from a set from M’s. 

This next card was so easy to make, but it looked hard at first.  I bought the pattern online from a store in the UK I believe.  I then cut out all the pieces and assembled.  The hardest part of making this card was deciding which papers to use.  I think next time I will use bolder colours so you can see the carriage better.  I was so anxious to make it that I didn’t put too much thought into what colours I should use.  It’s so cool, it folds down flat so it can be mailed!  I took this picture at a weird angle, as you can’t see the white on the right hand side when you look at the card straight on.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
