It's a girl

Afternoon all

Well it's not a very nice day today so I am in my craft room again.

Hubby gave me permission to buy myself a Gemini machine as my eBosser

wasn't embossing very well so I wanted to try this gorgeous little

die to see how well it would emboss and I am so happy with the result.

My base card is approx 7" x 7" and I have layered it with

white linen card and Pink baby feet 1 card available from

"Limetree craft"

The giraffe die is one from China and you can buy it from

www.aliexpress.com I think it cost me about £1.70, I used

"Gathered twigs Distress ink" before I removed the die

The lace is also available from AE and I got 14yards for £7.50

It's a girl die is from "Sue Wilson Creative Expressions"

I added a bow and flat back gem also from AE.

Thank you for looking in and any comments you are kind enough to

leave as always are greatly appreciated.

Mum

Well it's another beautiful day, the sun is shining but it's a bit fresh out there.

The card today is a very easy one to make BUT it caused me so many problems and it took me ages to make it. The centre piece with Mum had to be scrapped 4 times as the ink kept on bleeding and then on the 5th attempt I actually ripped the whole topper so had to start again. Hopefully you like it now I finally got to finish it Lol x  

To make this card I used the following.

7x7 base card

Centura pearl card

Sue Wilson dies French collection-Auvergne

Spellbinders A2 scalloped borders one

Some ribbon and some bling.

Thank you for any comments you are kind enough to leave xx Janis xx

Good afternoon fellow craft people and visitors, just thought i would share this card with you today. It was commissioned by a fellow crafter for her daughters 40th birthday.

This is a basic 7x7 card layered with Centura Pearl card

Can't remember where the paper is from the dies i used are Spellbinders Triple Floral for the frame, Spellbinders pierced ovals and flourish die.

Decorated with flowers from Wild Orchid with a bit of Glamour dust to give them a sparkle, then added ribbon and gems.
