In Sympathy




 
 
 
Hi again my friends, this card is made along th same lines as the previous one I posted using Spellbinders dies to cut out the layers and also for embossing the pearlised card and finished it with a bereavement sentiment printed onto paper using microsoft word and then cuttingit out with a Spellbinders label die. If you require exact information of the dies used please ask. Regards Wendy x

The Gate



 
Hi my Crafty Friends, well it was a dismal day here in Cardiff with rain the order of the day so after taking our granddaughter to school I just had to continue on my white on white card theme. For this car I used a gate die from Spellbinders and layered it onto some pearlised card that I had embossed with an M-bossibility folder also from spellbinders. I added my favourite pa pillion butterfly from the Spellbinders range and added a bit of bling with a small clear glass pearl. I will add a sentiment at a later date as this card could be used as wedding, engagement or a bereavement card so I will see what occasion arises and adapt it accordingly. I hope you have a good Friday and enjoy your weekend. Regards Wendy x

Simply cream


 
Hello Friends, Here is another cream card that I made by using a spellbinder embossing folder to give this deeply etched effect. I then gave the surface some shine by rubbing it with a shimmer wax and it gave it a luxurious finnish. The flower was made with a selection of flower dies and then adhered to the card with foam squares to give it more dimention. I have yet to add a sentiment on the front but havent decided on whether to use it as a sympathy card or for another occasion. Regards Wendy x

Church Window





 
Hi Again, this evenings card is another cream and white card. I embossed the background onto pearlised card stock and  then layered it with a spellbinders die cut layer. I adhered the church window to it and then added the flourishes, a butterfly and a small bow to complete. If you would like any further information on the dies used please message me. Have a lovely evening. Regards Wendy x

Gazebo




 
Hi my crafting friends, this is todays card which I made from cream and white card and paper stock. The gazebo and flowers were from spellbinders dies and I used a textured paper behind the gazebo to give a different background and I was pleased with the effect. The butterfly was cut out with a spellbinders papillion die on to some shrink plastic and then heated, the result was a tiny plastic butterfly which I added to the front of the card. I finished the card with a "Love " sentiment topper. Hope you like it. Any quetions please message me. Regards Wendy x

Christening




 
Hi my crafting friends, sorry for not posting anything on my blog lately but we have been holidaying in beautiful Austria and on our return had lots to catch up on. The garden had over grown and we wanted to catch up with family and friends. I was asked if I would make a christening card  by a friend for her Grand daughter but forgot to take some pictures of it to post here, so I have made a similar one. It was made  using a combination of Spellbiner and Sissix dies together with Pink and white card stock.I hope you like it. Please post a comment .
Regards Wendy xx

Austrian trip

Tulpis on Route

Window Dressing

 
St Wolfgang lake

Taken at 1010km up and still a long way to go

Anyone got the right time?
 
Hello friends, sorry for not posting anything on my blog page but we are on a trip around Austria at the moment. So here are a few pictures to give you a flavour of our trip. However its been non stop rain for the past 5 days and a lot of areas we hoped to visit today were unsuccessful due to roads being closed and rivers breaking their banks. It is still spectacular scenery despite the weather though....
Cappuccino with love
