Less is More

I cut a lilac panel from one of the Sweetheart Buds papers and attached to an 8 by 8 white card blank.  The hearts were cut using a Sizzix Bigz die and Sweetheart Buds embossed squares and were attached with foam pads (1mm ones for the outside ones and 2mm ones for the centre one to give varied dimension). 

The In Circle sentiment is layered onto a scalloped circle punched from a lilac Sweetheart Buds embossed square. 

Wedding Wishes

I put this card into a box frame which I had painted white.  It's pretty self explanatory really and quite simple.  The initials were cut using my Mac 'n' Cheese dies.

When I cut the strip for the pinwheel flower, I included a narrow border of lilac which looks good around the edge of the flower.

It has winged its way to Warwick and went down really well with the recipients.

My Special Friend

I have made a few of these frames previously and mounted them on cards but this time I decided to make a proper photo frame.  I knew straight away whose photo I wanted to put into it - it had to be my special friend, Tess.

The back of the frame is covered with with card and I added an extra piece to make it stand up on its own.

Thinking of You

Sweetheart Buds again, some die cut daisies,Candi and a Nesting Message.

For Julie

Today I've been to Embsay Mill near Skipton to see Julie Hickey who was hosting a Candi party.  I took her this card from the cats!

The bunting was cut from embossed squares and has small punched daisies between each piece  I added lilac crystals to each daisy and used some small letter stickers to spell 'Julie'. 

At the bottom of the card I added a strip of paper, a die cut daisy, a punched scalloped circle and an In Circle message.

Variation on a Theme - Two

This time I die cut 3 three pink daisies and three lilac centres from the embossed squares.  I curled the petals and attached to the card with 2mm foam pads.

I used a panel of the striped paper for the rosette and when I cut the panel I included a narrow border of lilac which you can see around the outside edge of the flower.

This looks so different from yesterday's card and the Sweetheart Buds colour scheme looks so different without the green.

For You

This was made with an 8 by 8 cream base card.  I cut a 6 by 6 frame and covered it with a sheet of the Sweetheart Buds paper then attached it to the main card with foam pads.

I cut three daisies from embossed squares and attached these to the frame along with some die cut Sweetheart Buds flowers.  The sentiment is a nesting message - the outside is glued flat and the inside is attached with foam pads.

Just for You

Sweetheart Buds today on a DL card. I used three sanded, embossed squares and attached the top and bottom ones with double sided tape, and the centre one with foam pads. Then I added two die cut flowers and a nesting message before attaching Candi to the corners of the squares.

Thanks so Much

Made with an Elegant On the Edge card that is embossed with Swiss dots.

I used the Sweetheart Buds colours this time. The embossed squares have been sanded and I cut two of them in half then overlapped them against the spine of the card.

Birthday Wishes

I cut out three of the Sweetheart Buds embossed squares and sanded them. The outside two are attached with double sided tape and the centre one is attached with fom pads. The outside part of the sentiment is stuck down using a glue pen and the centre is stuck with foam pads. I also used foam pads to attach the die cut flowers. To finish the card I added three pieces of Sweet Pea Candi.

Baby Girl

A baby card made using Sweetheart Buds paper from the Sweet Pea collection by Craftwork Cards. The flower is from the same collection. The Candi matches the colours in the paper and the flower. I die cut the letters using my Mac 'n Cheese dies.
