Simply 'Gorjuss'!

Hi everyone! Bit of a midweek blog tonight, just to be different!

I went on a bit of a Spree in The Range last week, buying stamps and paper from the Docrafts 'Gorjuss' range.  I stamped the image and coloured using Spectrum Noirs.  

The die cuts were done using Spellbinders Labels 29 and the red paper was embossed using the Garden Lattice m-bossibilities folder. 

The flowered and beige paper is Gorjuss while the red is from my stash of paper.

The sentiment was stamped onto the Gorguss paper and then die cut, adding a few red pearls as finising touches. 

Hopefully I will be able to blog a little more regularly over the coming weeks! That holiday is looking ever closer! Have a lovely rest of the night! xxx

Sugar Buttons - so pretty!

Hi everyone! Hope you are all keeping warm in this horrible spring snow we are having!

I braved the weather yesterday to go to the NEC and am very glad I did. It was great because so any people had stayed away with the weather I was free to browse rather than get trampled on by people! 

I ordered some of the Sugar Buttons toppers and card stock in the Kanban 50% sale last week so put these to use today. The bottom layer of the pink paper and the white paper is Centura Pearl.  I used a spellbinders die (labels 29) for the rectangular shapes and a Die'Sire die for the circular pattern. 

Spellbinders garden lattice (A4 m-bossibilities) was used to emboss the pink paper and I then used organza ribbon across the back. The flowers were a bargain from the Range - 12 flowers for £1! 

For the second card I again used the garden lattice m-bossibilities folder and Die'sire die.  I die cut 2 of this shape and slightly overlapped them to give it another dimension. The pink pearls are liquid pearl, as it's a lot cheaper than putting on actual stones around all of the gaps!

Hope you like the cards - I have been so frustrated at the lack of time I have had to craft, but it is nearly the holidays now! As a primary teacher, when sats are around the corner it's all systems go!

Have a good week everyone! Stay warm! xx
