I thought I would try to catch up with adding some cards from the Spellbinder pick of the week shows.
It has been really busy and you are all loving these dies.
These dies are selling out fast as they are an amazing deal you get 2 Free yes Free in every set that you buy.
All available at Create and Craft and better still, get them on flexi basket and pay in installements.
You can see all of the sets here
As I have told you before I have a man in a million, he offered to help me with my prep work for the Pick of the Week on Create and Craft next week.
You know the saying Boys and their Toys? well here is a prime example of it. Please note, do not try this at home. No Grand Calibur was hurt in the making of this video.
you have to love this man.
Not a lot to this card but I love the look of it.
It started with a bit of play, I used the Spellbinders Rustic Wreath M-bossabilities and the Wreath Die using some silicon gel to adhere the die cuts.
I used glitter glue around the edges of the die cut pieces to add a bit of sparkle and some pearls from Mei Flower as the berries
Tied a pretty sparkly bow around it once I had matted it onto gold card and then glued it in place onto a white card.
Isn’t it pretty?
I can feel the chill in the air already, I’ll be digging out the higher tog quilt by the weekend much to Chris’s dismay.
This little one has it under wraps and is all ready for the winter months.
Snow Shovel from Mo’s Digital Pencil
I used a beautiful silk ribbon, Spellbinders oval die, some pretty papers, gems from Mei Flower and La La land tree die.
Before I finish I have a funny story about Grandson Jacks day at school, he was chattering away to his Mam.
Jack- 'Mam- the teacher said God today...
His Mam- 'were you learning about Him?'
Jack- 'no- and she said in the name of the Father, the Son and the mouldy wizard!'
Ermm I think that should be “Holy Spirit” Jack.
Baby Bow from Mo’s Digital Pencil
Such a sweetie, coloured with Copic Markers and Chalk pencils then teamed with a spellbinders fleur di lis die, Papertrey Ink designer paper and a pretty ribbon to finish.
Saturday is a together Day for Chris and myself, weekends we take time out to be together and enjoy each others company.
Today I declined from the cycle ride but Chris went out early morning and come home like a drowned rat, he was soon showered and ready for the rest of the day together.
It was a naughty kind of day, it started well with porridge and banana for breakfast but then we did the sin of going to Dalton Park and grabbing a Latte to go from Thornton’s (you always get a chocolate to go with the coffee, now if that wasn’t bad enough we had to pass by Millie's cookies and a toffee cookie was calling our name, not one but two each, oh well I’m sure a cycle ride tomorrow will sort that out for us.
Hope you are all enjoying your weekend too.
I hear requests for images for First Communion all of the time and this image is perfect for just that.
First Communion by Mo’s Digital Pencil
Keeping it clean and simple with an embossed white background, punched corners and some pearls and using the Centura Pearl card from Crafters Companion.
Adding a couple of dots of glitter on her veil and head piece and finishing with a silk ribbon and spellbinders cross die.
One of those cards that you never want to make but it is important that you do make one to let someone know you are thinking of them.
I’m starting this one with a close up picture of the Spellbinders Cross Die, it doesn’t just have to be sympathy that is is used for, it can be used for loads of different occasions.
I started the cross in a cream card and edged it with some suede coloured ink, I then used twine from Ribbon Carousel bound around the center of the cross I then stamped a spare piece of cream card with a script font stamp then cut one the smaller crosses and distressed it before adding on top with foam pads.
Of course with this type of card the inside sentiment is always of importance so my favourite sentiment was used.
Again using the twine to tie on the smallest of the crosses from the die set.
Well it was sunshine best part of today but you can bet your bottom dollar there would will be a massive clean up in progress, I think it’s all the rain that must have inspired me to get this made.
Such a sweet image with Mother Duck tending to her young.
Coloured with Promarkers, gold, tan, sandstone, chestnut, apricot and tea green, all available via Letraset
Pearls from Mei Flower, Ribbon from Ribbon Carousel and oval Dies from Spellbinders

This month I’m using the Wedding Couple from Mo’s Digital pencil
I wanted to keep it pretty clean looking so that the main focus was on the image.
The perfect pair don’t you think?
Ribbon is a beautiful bridal silk ribbon from Ribbon Carousel, Spellbinders Cross and Oval diecuts and a prima blossom.

No ink required.
I got the inspiration for these cards from my friend Emily as I have 2 Christenings coming up and loved the simplicity.
I over wrapped my cards on top of a pink card as our new babies are both of the girl variety.
And the second
And side by side
I thought I should show two cards today as I lost a whole day with a migraine on Wednesday and spent the whole day in bed.
Luckily I had pictures of Jack all ready to go.
As cute as a button this little one.
Baby Girl by Mo Manning at Mo’s Digital Pencil
Coloured with Copic Markers and cut out with a Spellbinders Label die which I edged in pink ink.
Papers are by First Edition and the pink paper was edged using a geared leaver border punch by Tonic Studios their geared lever punches are amazing.
Finished with some gems from Mei Flower, I just couldn’t craft without their pearls and gems.
I’m using a clear stamp set today from The Crafts Meow that you are going to love.
I felt wonderful getting to do something crafty, making the little lace bobbin and paper piecing the tailors dummy
You can see from the image below that paper piecing works really well with this set. being able to incorporate some of the designer paper into the image gives the card that professional touch.
I love the labels with this set as they work with the spellbinders label dies.
This is the full set of stamps aren't they amazing?
Available from The Crafts Meow to purchase.
