More butterflies

An Anniversary card made for a friend using another of my embossing folders. This time i used it with Core'dinations and sanded it to show the core. I added some Joy butterflies, pearl hearts and a LOTV sentiment.

Embossed snowflakes

The last embossed card this week using products I haven't used for a couple of years I should think. I like to look back on some of my makes on Pinterest and when I saw a couple of cards I had previously made using this lovely Sizzix snowflake die and matching embossing folder I thought it was time it was used again. The Crafter's Companion 6x6 embossing folder also hasn't been used for some time. I added some snowflake ribbon, sprayed the snowflakes with spray and sparkle and added a sentiment I found already stamped up.

More butterflies

Another embossed card today using a Crafter's Companion embossing folder. I wanted to keep the design simple and thought it was an opportunity to use my favourite butterfly die. I don't get to use it much as it is such a big die but it is perfect for this card. It is a Magnolia Doohickey die. I found the sentiment in my stash and added some pearls.

Off into the city today as we are both having a haircut so no crafting today.  Join me tomorrow for a Christmas card.

Deepest Sympathy

I decided to get out my embossing file and have a play with some of my embossing folders which don't see the light of day very often. I used First Edition Mulberry Kisses paper and a Darice embossing folder. The sentiment is from Inkylicious and the butterflies were cut with a Crafts Too die. That's anoher card for my stock which is building up nicely.

Went out with friends for a carvery last night, which was delicious. Today will mainly be spent crafting as I have some magazine work to do and several part made gifts on my desk.

Trying something new

When I saw the challenge at In the pink was embossing I decided it was time to try something I have been wanting to try for ages, heat embossing and colouring vellum. I know many of you will have done this but for some reason I have never got round to it. I bought some white vellum at Ally Pally as I bought some matching stamps and dies at The Works for just £4! I stamped the flowers with Versamark and heat embossed them in white. I then coloured the backs with Copics and attached brads to the centres.

The paper is Ann Marie blissful pink. I added some builder's scrim from B&Q and some pink lace. The leaves were diecut with a Joy die and I found the sentiment in my stash. The paper and sentiment were distressed using a distressing tool.

In the Pink

A really simple but effective card I made on Thursday and sold on my stall on Friday. I used a Darice embossing folder and sanded Core'dinations in bright pink. I tore the edges and attached it to some distressed pink paper and card and added two sparkly butterflies from Poundland. I really like this card and as left the embossing folder out on my desk to remind me to make some more. Normally everything gets put away once a card has been made but I knew out of sight of mind would apply and I would forget to make some more like this.

As you like it Favourite style of embossing (I love wet embossing too but use my embossing folders much more. They are so quick and easy and there is such a wide variety of patterns available. I particularly love using them with sanded Core'dinatoins.)

Off out for breakfast this morning as we are going into Norwich for a few things and I want to look at upgrading my iPhone. Catch you later.

Beach Huts

I recently bought a few new 6x6 embossing folders. I love these sweet beach huts and used sanded Core'dinations with the embossing folder. The Crafty Ribbons ribbon matches perfectly and I really like the effect of the Spellbinders curved border die. I added a couple of MFT diecuts and baker's twine. A simple card but effective I think.

Distressed

I bought this pretty Darice embossing folder in America and mad a quick and simple distressed card. I used Core'dinations in 2 shades of yummy purple. I tore the darker card and then sanded the embossed card. I added some roses and sweetheart blossoms and that was it, simples.
