Anniversary Diamonds

An anniversary card to share today.

The focus of my card is five solid silver hearts, encrusted with diamonds. Okay....... a bought a 2 metre string of these hearts for £1, so perhaps they're not genuine. 😉 I've had the hearts for ages and wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with them, until now.  The embossing folder I used is by Creative Expressions, 'Swirling Hearts'. I added a few red and silver Card Candi.

Love

A feminine card today, continuing my mission of trying to use some of my old stash.  I thought this would be suitable for an anniversary or engagement card.

I used an old wood mounted Docraft text stamp (dated 2004!) for the main focus, stamping it with Versafine Clair 'Morning Mist'. The papers are from an old Docrafts paper pad and I found a snippet of embossed white card from a previous project, which was just the right size.  All the grey card was also snippets, bought from the local Scrapstore ages ago.  Three white pearls finished off my card.

Snowman Family

A Christmas card to share today.  As February is short month, the Rudolph Days Challenge is only open for four days..

I found a piece of suitable patterned paper in my snippets drawer.  The image is an old wood mounted stamp, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Nocturne' and coloured with Promarkers.  The sentiment is from a Papermania set of stamps.  I added a Memory Box 'Twilight Snowflakes' die cut.

Bench Card

A card today which I made for a recent card swap.

The patterned paper is from an old Papermania paper pad.  The two white panels across the top are embossed with a Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' embossing folder.  I made a 'Spirelli' die cut with a Spellbinders die and wound silver metallic thread round.  This was layered with foam tape on a Memory Box 'Stitched Circle Layers' die cut and a 'Stitched Square Layers' die cut.  The butterfly was made with two dies, Poppystamps 'Elsa Butterfly' and 'Lyndon Butterfly'.  There is no body with these particular dies, so I used the body from the Memory Box 'Pippi Butterfly' die.  The butterfly is attached just by the body, leaving the wings free.

The card folds flat for posting and measures 6" x 4".
