Rose Wedding Card

I stamped the PTI leaf image directly onto the card stock in Pallete Green Moss ink then distressed the edges of the card in a colourbox ink to match the rose, I printed my rose designs onto smooth card stock and the wording onto Vellum then matted them onto the card I tore the Mr & Mrs wording so that the vellum looked distressed and punched holes and ties white ribbon through the holes, I stock the vellum over the card using glue dots behind the ribbon so that it was invisable from the front of the card.

Below is the images that I designed for the above card you are free to use them for personal use but please do not share my designs instead link back to my blog for people to download them they are copyright to me.

Christmas Ribbon Flower

Such a clever little idea this one but I can't claim the Glory as it was designed by a very talented lady Claire and she explains beautifully how it is done here

The only problem I had with it was how to cover the ribbon at the back of the card so here is what I did.

I took an extra piece of the gold card and cut a hole where the ribbon was with a Nestabilies die and kept the scalloped circle to one side, I covered the inside of the front with the gold sheet then added the scalloped circle with foam pads to allow for the bulked up ribbon at the back of the card, see images below.

Floral Punch Craft - Daisies

I used the daisy stamp from PTI to stamp the background onto Kraft card stock and cut the squares with the Nestabilities Dies, stamped PTI sentiment onto the white square.

I used a medium daisy punch and punched out 6 white daisies shaped and layered them and punched 3 small yellow blossoms for the centers, the leaves are medium birch leaves scored and shaped aranged and attached at the top corner of the sentiment with silicon glue.

Tied a lemon ribbon around the top to finish.

Gratitude Card - Spiral Bouquet

It seems so long since I used Black, White and Gold that I thought is was time to blow the dust from my inks and set to work.

So here are my results, stamps are by Papertrey ink (Spiral Bouquet).

Inks used are Versafine Black and Brilliance galaxy Gold.

White and Black card stock and Mirror Gold embossing Powder and a black ribbon to finish.

Snowflake Spinner - Tutorial

How it's made...

We start this by using a piece of A4 card stock and scoring it into 4 equal quarters as shown in picture 1 then cut away one of the quarters as shown in the 2nd picture.

Fold the card on the longest score line so that card is a tent shaped card.

On the side that is double thickness (2 layers) you need to cut out a circle making sure that you cut through both layers, I used a nestabilitie die.

When opened it should look like this.

I cut out 2 of each straight and scalloped edged circles the 2 scalloped circles are in a very pale pink card stock (you need to make the scalloped circles small enough to pass through the apertures you cut on the main card).

I stamped snowflake onto the plain circles and glued these on top of the scalloped ones.

I added double sided tape all over the back of the snowflake and stuck the 2nd snowflake on top of this by carefully aligning the scalloped edge.In the 2nd picture you can see the thread runs through the inside of the snowflakes (see arrows)

I used the snowflake embossing folder and wrapped this around the front of the card with the aperture cut out as this would not run through the cuttlebug I wrapped the back side of the card behind the folder as shown in the 2nd picture.

On the reverse of the cuttlebugged aperture I added 2 strips of double sided tape to adhere the silver thread to and hold the snowflake in place.

Add double sided tape over the silver thread and to the rest of the back of the aperture then fold over the other piece with the circle cut out and this will hide the silver thread making a neat finish

I added a sentiment to the bottom of the card some stickles for sparkle pearls to the snowflake center and knotted a ribbon around the top

 that's it your done!
