Coralene's Chemise

Hello friends

 

Today sharing with you the very stunning die set -

Coralene's Chemise - one of the Chantilly Lace Collection

by Amazing Paper Grace.

Even the name is elegant!

 

This is a good size die - the main frame measures 4.80 x 6.80 inches

so it makes stunning statement cards.

I cut each die from white card, the swirl frame twice.

I crisscrossed that for a centre feature atop the white rectangle

raised on foam pads.

 

 

I placed a silk flower to middle and a stamped and die cut sentiment

at the bottom of the card.

 

Here you can see the detail in this die set,

the fine dotted scallops and the outer frame emulating lace.

 

I rarely do layered fussier cards but thoroughly enjoyed making this one.

Coralene's Chemise is available to buy new and pre-loved on the website here.

 

I'm off to Milton Keynes today, catching up with my crafty pals.

Wishing you all a great Sunday.

 

Take care friends.

Happy shopping and crafting.

Also... 

a week or so ago for Hump Day Giveaway the die set up for grabs

was 'Make Mine Lemon Lime'.

Pat was the lucky winner and as soon as she received

her prize she got crafting.

This is her gorgeous card that she created.

I think the dotty black and white background really offsets

the yellow lemons and I love the sentiment.

Pat has her own blog - Focus on Papercraft,

you can view it here - some wonderful crafty makes.

I always enjoy receiving photos of your projects with the Spellbinders

dies you've won or purchased so please keep it up.

Make Mine Lemon Lime is available on the website

It's not too late to enter this week's Hump Day Giveaway,

A busy day of crafting ahead for me, various deadlines to meet

and creating boards and samples for Create and Craft TV.

Elliott is home all weekend and I know he's working through more pre-loved

and reducing the sale items even further -

so keep checking back on the website.

Take care friends.

Friday Die Day

Hello friends

 

This week's Friday Die is Trailing Hearts - a beautiful designed two piece

die set by Marisa Job for Spellbinders.

The approximate measurements are:

 

Heart: 2.20 x 1.80 in. 5.60 x 4.60 cm
Heart Grid: 4.15 x 5.40 in. 10.50 x 13.70 cm

 

 This is how it looks cut/embossed.

 

 

For my card design I used the Heart Grid and Heart cut from white,

an additional Heart cut from silver mirror card plus little flower and leaf set.

 

My card base with 5 x 7 matting and patterned paper stamped with sentiment.

 

I positioned the grid to the top of my card, affixed silver heart to middle

and white heart to right hand side overlapping.

 

I then realised I needed some more hearts!

A white and silver - Classic Hearts.

The finished card - three hearts in a row.

 

Beautiful edging to this die set.

Trailing Hearts is available on the website here.

Other Marisa Job's designs can also be found here.

 

Take care friends, wishing you a great weekend -

are any of you crafting?

 

 

'Those' Mini Poinsettias

Hello friends

If you've followed my blog for a while (or even a little while)

you may have noticed that I tend to use small flowers and leaves..a lot!

One of the designs I use the most is mini poinsettia.

The mini poinsettia comes with a die set - first released a Christmas ago -

5 x 7 Holly Frame.

It has now proved quite tricky to obtain.

And then last week when I was in Harwich, a lady at the workshop

asked if I would consider having pre-cut mini poinsettias 

on the website - of course I can! 

So, here we go...they are listed here.

Each pack contains 20 flower pieces 

(that makes 10 double flowers, 5 red/5 white).

The white can be coloured with inks/sprays.

Also included is 10 leaf sets.

Let me know what you think.  I'm hoping it helps everyone in need of 

mini poinsettias :)

Take care friends and please stop by tomorrow for Friday Die Day.

A 'stack of gifts' card today.
