Be my Valentine...........

Hello Everyone

Hope you've all had a good week.  The weather down here in Somerset has been pretty good this week apart from some horrendous winds on Tuesday evening which saw a neighbour's small greenhouse end up in our garden!!!  Enough said!

Anyway on to my Valentine card that I have made my hubby.  Here it is:

I started off with an 8"x 8" scalloped card base and cut out 3 mats, two red and one white.  The top red mat went through my machine with my We R Memory Keepers Next Level Dotted e/f.  The fancy toppers were cut using Sue Wilson Portuguese Collection - Lisbon and the sentiment is Honey Doo Crafts Life & Heart stamps.  The die cut sentiment is Penny Black and I just cut the Happy away from the other part of the die so I could put it in opposite corners of the card.  Each embossed heart has a small gem in the centre.  Flowers and ribbon were from my stash, as were the hat pins.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Happy crafting.

Less is More - Week 260 Recipe

Morning Everyone

Wet and windy down here in Somerset but nice and snug in my craft room.

This week's challenge over at Less is More is:

Our Recipe is for  you to include a 

 SILHOUETTE 

in your creations.

It's been ages since I joined in the fun over at Less is More so had a rifle through my stamps to see what silhouette images I had and came up with this:

The image is Stampin Up "Marry Me" (an old one), the frame dies are Sue Wilson Lisbon dies, the embossed background is We R Memory Keepers Gemstone embossing folder and the leaves are Die-sire Wildflower Trio (not sure why as they are all leaves!!!) and finally a few gems from my stash along with a bow.

Thanks for dropping by and for any comments you leave - they are very much appreciated.

New embossing folder and a man's card

Hello everyone

Just a quick post from me today to show you the card I've made for my brother-in-law Jim who's birthday is on the 21st.

I'd seen some new (to me) embossing folders online made by We R Memory Keepers for their range Next Wave "Gemstone".  You get two different folders in the pack and they emboss and deboss in the same pass through your die cutting machine.  The results are absolutely amazing.  Have a look:

A piece of pearl cream card embossed

The stamp I've used is IndigoBlu "Fairway to Heaven" as jim's a keen golfer.  I embossed a piece of black cardstock and then rubbed over some Inka Gold platinum.  The ribbon is from my stash.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hope you all have a good weekend.

Happy crafting.
