More Beautiful Butterflies

Hi

Sorry I’ve not blogged in a little while, but I’m back today to share a few of my recent makes. These Tim Holtz butterfly dies are my absolute go to die. There are two different butterflies in the set, but this one is my favourite and adorns many of my cards 😊

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a lovely day.

Beautiful Butterflies

 Hi

Thought I’d give this card it’s day on the blog when I realised I hadn’t shared it.

I’m loving using the DL slimline cards, and I wanted to create something with these pretty papers which have been in my stash for a while. I’ve used a Sue Wilson die and Tim Holtz butterfly.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy 21st Birthday

Hi

I’m back today to share the card I made for my Niece’s Birthday.  

I used a Tim Holtz stencil for my background, lightly inked with Distress Ink. The frame is by Sizzix. I added the Tim Holtz butterfly onto the frame and the numbers are by Memory Box. The sentiment is LOTV.

Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday Butterflies

 Hi

Sorry I’ve been quiet on here lately, but I’m back today sharing a card I made recently for my Mum’s Birthday. I recently purchased some slimline dies from Heffy Doodle and couldn’t wait to start using them. The outer scalloped edge one is slightly bigger than the DL card blanks I use, so I trimmed it down to fit. The Tim Holtz butterflies fit perfectly in the apertures. 

Thanks for stopping by, I’ll be back again soon.

Stay safe

Butterfly Wishes

Hi

Just a quick post today, as it seems there’s a problem with blogger and I’m having trouble uploading in the usual way! 

I realised I forgot to share this card I made for one of the challenges over on Cotswold Crafter’s blog a few weeks ago. I love this pretty Tim Holtz butterfly, and the Anna Marie Designs papers go perfectly with it.

Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Double Halo Oval - With Love.

 Hi

I wanted to share another card with you, made using the Double Halo Oval die set from Amazing Paper Grace. I love this set, and by just adding some pretty papers, I think it makes a beautiful card.

I’ve used the main die and inner die as my focal point, along with Anna Marie Designs Garden Blooms papers. I cut the corner die three times and added these along the bottom to create the border.

The butterfly from Tim Holtz finishes it off with the LOTV sentiment stamped onto the pierced flags from Sue Wilson.

I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe.

Same die, different cards.

Hi

Hope you are keeping well, and enjoying the glorious spring sunshine during these uncertain times. 

I’d like to share a couple of cards I made a couple of weeks ago for the weekly challenge over on the Cotswold Crafter blog. We were challenged to use either the same die or stamp on two different cards.

I chose Sue Wilson’s ‘Regal’ striplet die.

For my first card, I cut the die (without its outer cutting edge) three times into my background card. I mounted this onto Anna Marie Designs ‘Blissful’ Cotton papers, adding a pierced frame. I topped it with Sue Wilson’s ‘Hamilton’ die also cut from the pretty papers, along with the pierced flags. The Tim Holtz butterfly finishes it off. The sentiment is from LOTV.

For my second card, I cut the complete die out of Kraft card. Again I’ve used Anna Marie Designs ‘Blissful’ papers, this time in Cocoa. The Memory Box swirly flower die holds the circular LOTV sentiment.

 Thanks for stopping by.

Stay safe.

It’s Never Too Early.....

Hi

I’m back today sharing another card I made recently....my first Christmas card for 2020. It’s never too early to start making Christmas cards, and I thought if I start now, then hopefully I’ll have enough to send without having to rush out to buy some last minute ones!

I used my new Tim Holtz ‘Flurry #1’ die, which I purchased at the Create It craft show recently. I cut two - one in Kraft card and the other in glitter card, from my stash. I love this pretty die, and as well as making a fabulous snowflake, I think it could be used on non Christmassy cards too. The backing paper is Anna Marie Designs‘Blissful Cocoa’ and the sentiment is from Lili Of The Valley.

Thanks for stopping by.

New die - Double Halo Oval.

Hi

I hope everyone is keeping well, and coping in these uncertain times.

I’ve had a few days off work and made use of the time by doing lots of crafting.

I recently joined a Facebook group organised by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace.

I absolutely love Becca’s beautiful creations made using her own range of cutting dies along with the Spellbinders range. I have a few Spellbinders dies in my stash, but none specifically by Becca, so I decided to order the Double Halo Oval die to start off my collection.

I’ve used the die as the main focal point of my card. Again I’ve used the Garden Bloom papers by Anna Marie Designs and the Tim Holtz butterfly. The sentiment is from JustRite Stamps.

I hope you like it.

Stay safe everyone.

Hugs to all.

18th Birthday Cards

Hi

I’d like to share a couple of 18th Birthday cards I made recently.

Both totally different in design.

My first card uses the Tim Holtz butterfly and pretty Blissful Cotton papers by Anna Marie Designs.

(I do love her beautiful paper collections)

My second card uses a Lili of the Valley art pad image and sentiment, along with papers I had in my stash.

 Thanks for stopping by.
