My Time to Craft Challenge #468 - Texture

 A new challenge starts today over at My Time to Craft where
the theme this fortnight is 'Texture'

Sharing my design team card...

All the details of the challenge can be found HERE

I started by embossing the burgundy base card with the quilted
3D embossing folder which gives a gorgeous, deep embossed effect.

Next I die-cut the 'hello' three times with kraft card, glued them together
to give some depth, and glued it onto the card. I added a few pearlised
gems to finish.

The products I have used are:

Lisa Horton Crafts, 3D embossing folder - Padded Quilt
My Favourite Things - Hello There

Hello Spring!

Today, I am sharing my latest card 

made for the Dies R Us Inspirational Blog.

As we are in the first week of Spring, I thought I would use some bright

Spring colours for my card today.

I started by embossing a 7"x5" card base.

Then using the largest of the Lawn Fawn - Stitched Scalloped Border Dies, I cut three

borders in yellow and green, and glued them together and added them to the bottom of a white embossed panel.

Next using the second largest of the Lawn Fawn - Stitched Scalloped Border Dies, I cut a yellow border and glued it to the top of the embossed panel.

Using orange card, I cut the word 'Hello' from the Avery Elle - Sentimental Die Set

and glued it to the central panel. Finally I added a couple of green sequins

and yellow enamel dots to finish.

The products I have used are:-

Creative Expressions Embossing Folder - Lace

Challenges entered:-

CAS on Sunday - Sentiment

Make My Monday - White Embossing

Ooh La La - Spring is in the Air

Hello Sunshine!

Today, I am sharing my latest design team card 

made for the Dies R Us Inspirational Blog.


I started by embossing a 7"x 5" card base with a Darice Honeycomb Background embossing folder.

Next, using the Lawn Fawn - Spring Showers die set, I cut the clouds and sun in white card, colouring the sun and edging the clouds with Promakers.

I generated the word 'sunshine' on my computer, then I used the smallest die from the
Sue Wilson Designs - Frames and Tags - Pierced Flags, to cut the flag.

For the larger yellow one, I used the middle die and white card, which I coloured with a Promarker.

Next I die cut the 'hello' from the My Favourite Things, Die-Namics 'Hello There' die set.
I was lucky enough to win this set from a snippets challenge that Di runs over at
 Pixie's Crafty Workshop

Lastly I added silk flowers from my stash, sequins and diamante gems to decorate.
