Create a Card Romance Die

Morning everyone, thank you to everyone who visits & leaves such lovely comments. It really means alot to have your continued support, & makes bloggin so worthwhile, & a big welcome to my new followers, i love getting new crafty friends.

I want to show you a box i made with the gorgeous Die`sire Create a card Romance Die

sorry if some of you were unable to get them, but they will be in stock very soon.

I knew these dies would be a big hit, they are so gorgeous & versatile 

I used 2 pieces of Core`dinations (chocolate box) 12x12

scoring at 3" on all sides on the Ultimate Pro (box base & box lid)

On the box lid i placed the die & folded the sides over 

so i could fit though my ebosser to cut & emboss

I then sanded the card to reveal the core colour

I then attached a piece of acetate to the inside & glued box together

Thanks for stopping by. 

have a great day xxx

New place challenge at Crafters Companion

Hi everyone, we have a new challenge (& a new place) starting at 

Crafters Companion

the theme this month is Floral & you can find the challenge HERE

The challenge is now on Facebook & will be easier for people to enter 

& people who don`t have blogs can now join in, so we hope that covers everyone

For my floral card i chose a monochrome theme, & used a variety of
Die`sire Quilling dies

They include

Sunflower, Rose, Blissful flower, Marigold & Lace flower

I`ve cut the flowers using some different parchment papers & some shimmer grey paper

I started with centura pearl embossed with Embosslicious Seasonal music

Using a brayer, rolled memento `London fog over the top

I then used Die`sire Decadence, again using the brayer, & layered onto black card

The sentiment is Sentimentals Nature

& cut using Die`sire Scalloped tags

 Embossing really is one of my favourite techniques, & i seem to have to emboss at least one element of my cards lol.

If you haven`t tried embossing, have a go, its easy & really effective

Crafters Companion 
have some gorgeous
Embossalicious folders 
& with new ones coming out soon, you are spoilt for choice.

Look forward to seeing your creations in this months challenge

HAPPY CRAFTING xxxxx
