Triple Heart Easel Card   For our first week of classes for 2013 I chose a theme of New Year, New Beginnings. We made a Happy New Year card and a wedding card.       The wedding card was a triple easel card, made with Spellbinders Classic Hearts and Scalloped Hearts. The paper I used is by  Melissa Frances called Blessings.   I used Marianne Creatables LR0226 for the leaves and LR0242 for the flower on the largest heart. I have used Nellie Snellen punches for the other flowers, Spellbinders Ribbon Banner dies and Justrite Stampers 'Ever After Antique Labels One' for the sentiment.     The wedding rings were cut out of silver mirror board and the ink I used was Tattered Rose Distress Ink.         The Happy New Year card is something different for me. I don't normally do this sort of thing, but just before Christmas I received stock of the Craftables clock (CR1234) and Cheery  Ly...

This is still one of my favourite cards of the year, although the photo isn't the best I'm sorry. I designed this card around the Marianne's Creatables dies of the bird cage and bird. The DP is from Mellissa Frances and it's just gorgeous. The bird is cut out on white cardstock and inked with Brilliance Pearlescent Beige ink.  I've also used the same ink around the tag.  The tag is a Spellbinders from the Grommet Tags set and the sage flower is a Kaisercraft Blossom. The rhinestone flourish is also from Kaisercraft. I added some white fringing ribbon  around the flowers.

I've just received a huge order of Marianne's Creatables dies and the new Designables, which are just gooorgeous!! In amongst the Creatables are the new rolled flowers in both plain and scalloped type circles. These die cut the rolled flowers that we have made in class a few times now. In the packet you get two flowers and two leaves...not bad for $17.50 hey! There is also a big range of flower making dies, the other silhouette lady, some beautiful doilies and butterflies and ribbon borders. In the Designables I've got 3 designs. These both emboss and cut at the same time. The pale pink part embosses and the white parts are cut out. Don't they look beautiful and at only $25.45 they won't break the bank!! Also in stock now are some beautiful papers from Melissa Frances, Girls' Paperie and Pink Paislee. Beautiful designs for vintage cards. These are all priced under $1.50 each. Also just arrived is the Kaisercraft Chanteuse range. Another lovely range ...
