Memory Box Piestra Tile

Another tall, slim card made for a birthday using Memory Box Piestra Tile die. 

Backed with turquoise pearlescent card and threaded down both sides of the middle with turquoise organza 3mm ribbon.

Flowers were made from Sue Wilson's Camellia dies, coloured and glazed. The tag is from the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Fancy Framed Tags Two set.

 Have had this die for ages but this is the first time I have used it.  My mother in law loved the last tall slim card (Sue Wilson Lattice Striplet) I made for Mothers Day so much that I thought I would try with this one.

Hope she likes it!

Sue Wilson Lattice Window Striplet Die Mothers Day Card

Made for Mothers Day using Sue Wilson Lattice Window Die which I laced with 3mm pale green ribbon and backed onto pale pearlised green card. 

Flowers were made from Sue Wilson's Camellia dies, coloured and glazed. 

The tag is from the  Spellbinders Shapeabilities Fancy Framed Tags Two set.

The stamp is from Luxe Framed Sentiments Layering Stamp and Die set.

Whole thing matted onto tall slim cream card.  Pwetttttttttttttttty!

3d Cabinet Card

 Made for a special lady who is having a a special birthday this year.

Made with dies from China. 3mm ribbon threaded through and some 3d pear effects. 

I don't often say this but it really did look better in real life.

Sue Wilson Australian Background Die Celebrate Card

A very pretty card for a very pretty lady's birthday!

Made using Sue Wilson Australian background die, Sue Wilson Peony dies, unbranded tag dies from China and a handmade hat pin with ribbon.

Multi Layer Arched Box Frame Card

Now I know that  I have folded the front edge on the left hand side over on the front and it should've been behind (you should've heard the cursing!) but after using DST there is no going back!

The other thing  is is that the middle pieces fit into a side piece through slots.  I don't know if I have done it wrong but it was only after I was taking a photo that I noticed that the middle pieces  don't fit low enough so where you should be able to see straight through the cut outs on the side, you can't on mine because it's all higgledy piggledy.

All in all, with the inking of the inner edges that went a bit awry, it's a bit of a dogs dinner!  I did put a note on to my friend apologising as she always sends me beautiful handmade cards.  Lol.

The cabinet die is from China (perhaps that explains it).  The die on the top is Sue Wilson  Daisy Cluster.   The foliage die is the Sue Wilson Blossoming Branch die and the flowers were made from  good old fashioned punches.  The  Happy Birthday is a Sue Wilson Mini Expressions die.

Tattered Lace Peach Sorbet Picture Perfect Circle Christmas Cards

The main body of the card is cut using the Picture Perfect Circle and is self supporting on a stand.  I say self supporting but I found that it is only self supporting with something behind it;  like a brick wall!

The Poinsettia is the Sizzix Bigz Die Tattered Poinsettia by Tim Holtz and the From Our House to Yours is by Sue Wilson.

The centre is by Amy Designs and is called Ice Crystal Frame.   The rest are unbranded from China.

I really enjoyed making the first two but then the other eight became rather tedious. Lol.

Celebrate

Well I have finally got a laptop after my last one started limping and then after several attempts at patching up, it finally died. After choosing another out of the thousands that are available these days, it turned out to be faulty! 

Anyway, this is a card I made using Tattered Lace Floating in the Air Circle, Sue Wilson Maggie die and matching stamp and the tags are unbranded from China.
