Today a seaside scene. I used a
Today I delved into my joblot of dies I bought from ebay, I just love diving it grabbing one blindly and just go with it (no I have not gone threw them at all with much restraint, I love surprises!!!)Anyway it was the dragonfly's turn to be worked with - I love him.
Hi again all you lovely crafters. Good to see you again, hypothetically that is lol.
Today I have put together another Birthday card just for no reason except for pleasure and to add to the loads of cards I give to Charity.
The list of supplies I used are here
White linen card
flowers Gummiapan - Swedish company - just love their dies. I used water colour pens for the colours.
The hearts are by Impression Obsession.
Pearl from stash - the over brimming stash just like most crafter's you know the one where you can't even remember having something and then order it again lol.
The bouquet wrap I cannot remember where it came from (yes I lose packets prob ended up in a bin
So here it is

I saw a challenge over at AAA Birthday cards and the theme is Where in the world are you? Well I sat here so long wondering what on earth I was going to do. My style mainly is CAS and had no ideas at all lol
After a couple of hours it came to me CAS, Birthday and the hint to where I live!!!! Out came my book of 1st class stamps lol.
I embossed the MFT peek a boo frame stuck the stamp in the middle. How easy was that and can't understand why that idea took so long to emerge lol. I had some small envelope dies so cut them and layered them up for dimension,
The important stamp is by Dylusions and the small happy birthday I cannot remember the origin.
I used red card behind the front panel and the adhered it to the card base using double sided foam tape

This card I have put together Love to Scrap
I have used cream linen card with a neutral color linen card
I die cut the heart placed in the center.
The flower die I believe is Alexander Renke. I cut it twice, one in cream and the other in the neutral color. I then paper pieced it together. I also used a couple of other flower dies for behind the main diecut,
I used my small butterfly punch three times from Vaesson Creativ again in the neutral card. The tiny dots I made using double sided tape on the back of card and run one of my dies which would produce waste when used normally. Very carefully and so patiently lifted them out and placed them on the bottom butterfly.
The sentiment was composed on my computer and printed. I took a photo of the card and used the app paint to pick the color font I wanted so it matched the card

I have made this card for Love to Craft (July) 69 Anything Goes
I used Sentimentally Yours background paper I received with a magazine. I don't usually use patterned paper and tend to make my own backgrounds using oxide ink, alcohol ink, shaving foam technique etc etc
purple card for the matting
Butterfly die unsure of origin (again from my joblot of dies from ebay)
small butterfly punch for the tiny one in right hand corner
To add a little interest I laboriously stuck teeny tiny rhinestones on and trailing from the butterflies. My eyes just cannot take it anymore lol.It is a shame it they are difficult to see in the picture
I mounted the front to card base using double sided foam tape

This card was made for Mix it Up challenge of Anything goes with optional twist of CAS
I made this for either a wedding/engagement - something different
The camera roll die I have no idea of its origin. A while back I bought a huge joblot of dies from ebay, obviously not in original packs therefore no idea - sorry.
I layered it up twice and reinserted the cut outs after stamping with my gorgeous little bee stamp bought from Gummiapan (a Swedish company). I trailed the little black dots into the middle insert creating a heart. The dots are made by using black card die cut using a die which has lots of dots which would be waste. I adhered double sided tape on the back and die cut the front. This gives you self adhesive dots that are extremely fiddly to get out and use - much perseverance and patience is a must lol
This was then matted onto black card and the front adhered to card base using double sided foam tape
The stamped sentiment is by I think by Dylusions
