Fearless...

Hello friends

Today I'm revisiting a Spellbinders die and stamp 

set called Fearless.

Designed by Debi Adams it features a banner shaped die,

coordinating stamp and a combination of sentiment stamps.

I think the sentiments work perfectly for anyone

going through a difficult time or perhaps starting out

on a new venture. 

I chose a simple design using Studio Light papers,

die cut multiple banners and layered them.

I stamped the sentiment to one and added three diddy flowers.

Fearless is available on the website both new and pre-loved,

you can view them here - bargains!

Still not too late to leave a comment on yesterday's post and

be in with the chance of winning a pre-loved die set.

City working day today, leaving Bella in the loving care

of Mum and Dad, she is showing off her new hair cut or just snoozing!

Take care friends. 

Midweek Giveaway!

Hello friends

Wednesdays can be funny days, there they are stuck in the middle

of the week and now commonly referred to as hump day ...

For those who work full time I can appreciate it feels like

you are half way towards the weekend.

Personally it marks my last crafting day before embarking on city job!

Whatever we think of Wednesdays I thought I would mark the middle of 

the week with a giveaway.

I have a pre-loved set of Floral Swirls Strip on offer.

I featured this die last week in my Friday Die Day post and video.

If you would like to be in with a chance of winning this pre-loved die,

please leave a comment on today's blog post and next

week a winner will be announced.

Also feel free to check out other pre-loved dies on the website here -

apparently Elliott has added more!

Happy Wednesday everyone.

Take care.

Flower Tile with Roses

Hello friends

It's been a bit breezy here...

I'm currently having the front of my house repainted and I'm 

constantly checking on my workman up his ladder! 

Today's card features Flower Tile.

A geometric grid design with pretty daisy floweres.

I matted pink and pale grey cardstock onto my card base.

Die cut Flower Tile from ivory cardstock and then used the die 

to cut some rose squares to paper-piece into the alternate blocks.

I added one of my glittery flowers to the corner.

I really like this die, I also made a larger project using four die cuts

together - I'll be sharing that later this week.

Flower Tile is available on the website here. 

Take care friends - Bella is having a haircut today,

haven't told her yet!

Marisa Job's Framed Floral Card Front

Hello friends

Thank you to those who have purchased a charity kit,

they have all been packed and placed in the post.

If you missed it, please feel free to view yesterday's post.

Today sharing with you one of the samples I created for

Create and Craft using Framed Floral Card Front.

A special pretty die set consisting of the main panel

and the matching decorative border.

This is one of the dies from Celebrate the Day collection

by Marisa Job.

I've die cut with ivory card and backed with papers from my scrap box.

The flower is inked and I've even used something quite like a bow (scrunched ribbon really!)



Framed Floral Card Front is available on the website here

along with the full collection here.

Like many, I'm shocked by the tragic London news,

it feels very close to home.

My heart goes out to all those affected.

Take special care friends.

Happy Birthday Pop Up!

Hello friends

 

What are you up today?

I'm hoping for some fine weather whilst I'm crafting away in my cabin.

When I've been in London for two days working I really look forward

to seeing my craft desk again.

 

Today I'm sharing with you Happy Birthday Pop Up.

I created this project for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and there

is a full step by step tutorial over on their blog here.

 

 

I always appreciate it if you have time to visit their blog and if possible

leave a comment - I think I get brownie points then ;)

 

The die I used is designed by Marisa Job and such a cute idea on its own,

adorning a gift box and thinking it would even work on top of a cake.

Please check out her beautiful collection here.

 

Take care friends - Charity Kit day tomorrow.

 

 



Friday Die Day

Hello friends

a two piece die set with a background and very pretty insert.

The approximate measurements are:

Frame 5.90 x 2.30 in

I've done another video this week and Elliott has worked his magic again!

I created a card that has a special place to include a gift card/voucher.

 

 

You will see I've used a couple of other die sets in the video -

Labels One and Style Nouille Tags.

All available on the website, please click on the names to take you there.

 

The finished card.

I hope you enjoy the video, I've chosen to keep them short without chatting!

 

Take care friends, have a fantastic and hopefully sunny weekend and

please stop by on Sunday as it will be charity kit day!
