Just Charming

Not Just Charming, a trio of Charming to be exact.

Charming is one of my favourite sets from the Spring Mini Catalogue The wood mounted version is Just £17.95 whilst the clear mounted version is £13.95 for that price you get 7 stamps.

I have had this set on my desk for the last couple of weeks as its one of the main sets that we will be using at our next all day Stampin' Extravaganza on 29th April. These cards will not feature in that day, those cards will not be blogged until after the event so if you would like to join us for the all day event please contact either myself or Sharon march.

This card uses the Embedded technique If you look closely you will see that all of the embellishments were added with Tombow to the Calypso Coral panel and then embossed using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder before being mounted on the card base.

Another day, Another post

Good Morning, I think taking some time off from work has done wonders for my Missing Mojo. Last year I only used 3 days on my annual holiday entitlement & as a family we had a lot of stress going on I Dont think I realised  how much it had all got to me. This last 12 days I have spent time catching up with friends & crafting. This week being half term I have Abi home from sixth form to share creative time with.

 The first card uses Build a blossom from the current catalogue & I've paired that with the lovely set called Charming from the Spring Mini Catalogue. This card is probably best being hand delivered as I've used double layer dimensional s on the flower to add layers of depth.

On page 124 of the main ideas book and current catalogue is a product called textured impressions embossing set ~ designer frames. I had previously overlooked this pair of embossing frames. When Sharon & I did an event back in December she had left these two embossing folders in my box by accident & they have been sat on my shelf ever since. So I thought I would have a little play with them & I guess now they will have to be added to my wish list. On this card I have embossed the frame in Calypso Coral, I think it really pops off the page. The other Embosslit is the beautiful wings folder which is a must for both card-makers & scrapbookers. With 5 sizes of butterfly each with a different texture,its great to add a butterfly if you have any stray ink on your cards or a little mark where it shouldn't be, that's a top tip I picked up from one of my ladies at the event on Saturday.
