We still have snow here and it is awful trying to walk outside, just terrible conditions, so I hope that you are all safe and well and keeping warm, and if you have had to venture out to go to work etc, I hope that you all have safe journey's too.
My card today is for Valentines Day and I would like to enter it into the following challenges.

I have used a SCALLOPED EDGE CARD for the base card and onto that I have put a HUNKYDORY HEARTS EMBOSSED CARD which has then been edged with a
SILVER DECORATIVE BORDER to highlight and add definition too.
I then made a panel using a gorgeous textured paper from the ~First Edition ROSE GARDEN

I added a WHITE FILIGREE HEART DOILY at an angle overlapping the border, and in the centre I added a co-ordinating DUSKY PINK PAPER ROSE. For the foliage, I used the Marianne Creatable SWIRL die. At the top of the heart I placed a PINK SATIN BOW and around the edge of the HEART I placed PINK GEMSTONES for added texture.
Finally, my sentiment reads "I LOVE YOU".

MY LOVE WILL FOREVER BE YOURS.
Hello and good afternoon everyone on this very cold and wild day. It sure is a perfect day for crafting.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges.
Cut it Up. Challenge #63. EMBOSSING.
Butterfly Spot. Challenge #23. V for VALENTINES + BUTTERFLIES.
Craft Your Passion. Challenge #246. ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES.
I am not sure of the correct name for this style of card, so for the purpose of this post, I have called it Z-FOLD CARD, I hope that is ok, maybe someone can give me the correct name for it, Thank You.
For the base of this card I have used an A4 sheet of RED PEARLISED CARD, divided into three sections. On each section I then added a BLACK PANEL and finally the
RED & WHITE BUTTERFLY DESIGN CARD was positioned on each panel. All edges have a
SILVER CHAINLINK BORDER to highlight and give definition too.
I then die-cut three sizes of the Spellbinders CROWNED CIRCLES SET. Each one of these were then embossed with a different embossing folder, which are - SMALL FLOWERS, SWISS DOTS
and CRACKLE folders. Once layered together I added a Martha Stewart 3D WATER LILY using
WHITE PEARLISED CARD and in the centre of that I added a BLACK ORGANZA FLOWER. The foliage is die-cut using the Spellbinders FOLIAGE SET and using BLACK PEARLISED CARD. Once in position I completed the look with RED & CRYSTAL GEMSTONES around the edges.
On the third panel I added my sentiment, which reads
"MY LOVE WILL FOREVER BE YOURS". It was positioned on BLACK PEARLISED CARD and trimmed with the DECKLE SCISSORS, then mounted onto RED card and trimmed again. I also added a RED SATIN BOW to the corner.
Finally down the outer edge of the card I added FIVE die-cut BUTTERFLIES by Joycraft with the addition of CRYSTALS for the body.
Thank you so much for atopping by, you are so kind.
Happy crafting.

Using a SCALLOPED EDGE CARD I have first added a

I then embossed a RECTANGLE PANEL with the CRACKLE EMBOSSING FOLDER and positioned to the right side of the card.

I then created my FLOWERS using WHITE CARD and also WHITE HOLOGRAPHIC CARD using the SMALL DAISY PUNCH and also the Spellbinders D-Lites - BLOOMS ONE.
For the centres of the flowers I have used CARD CANDI and also CRYSTAL GEMS. To make the FOLIAGE I used the Die-Namites WINDY WHEAT die, which I then embossed with the
SWISS DOTS embossing folder. Once they were all in position, I added THREE PINS one with SMALL BALL TOP and the other two with LEAF TOP.
I added CRYSTAL GEMS round the TEAR DROP CIRCLE for added texture.
I then punched TWO EMBOSSED BUTTERFLIES using the Woodware BUTTERFLY PUNCH, these were layered together with CRYSTALS for the body. I then used the
MINI BUTTERFLY PUNCH to create three layered butterflies using HOLOGRAPHIC CARD.
To complete the look, my sentiment says
"EVERY BUTTERFLY'S JOURNEY STARTED WITH A CATERPILLAR"

RHYTHM EVERYWHERE.
Hi again. This next card is one that I finished off yesterday and I am thrilled with it.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges.
The Paper Shelter. Challenge #186. PUNCHES and/or DIES. (Used both).
Brown Sugar. Challenge #129. BIRTHDAY FOR A GIRL.
I really enjoyed the development of this card. It started off as just a small square card, but somehow things changed. Oh well, not to worry, it all adds to the excitement doesn't it, and that is what crafting is all about.
It is going to be easier to list the items used, rather than an explanation of the method.
I have used a combination of PLAIN, PEARLISED & GINGHAM card stock.
My image is from The Paper Shelter and is called RHYTHM EVERYWHERE, isn't she just cute. It has been coloured with Promarkers, then mounted on a scrap of Designer paper, and two layers of card. All edges have a SILVER CHAINLINK BORDER to add definition too.
Crafts Too - FRAMES 9.
Marianne Creatable - FOREST VINE.
Creative Expressions - PETITE VINERY.
SWISS DOTS EMBOSSING FOLDER.
Spellbinders D-Lites - BLOOMS ONE.
SMALL DAISY PUNCH.
BUTTONS, SMALL FLOWERS & CARD CANDI.
BUTTERFLY with LILAC PEARLS for the body.
The sentiment reads "WITH LOVE & BEST WISHES".

Take care and please stay safe and warm.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORGEOUS.
Hello everyone on this cold and snowy day. I think we must have had every weather condition going this week, it has been so changeable, and tonight we are told the temperatures will be down as low as Minus 3 degrees, oh my goodness me.
I have made this card for Challenge #262 at Stampin Royalty. PICTURE INSPIRATION.
I have used papers from my stash and also remnants of card and paper to make the flowers and die-cut foliage. My image has been coloured with promarkers.
I have used the SMALL DAISY PUNCH for some of the flowers, and I have added
SMALL MULBERRY PAPER FLOWERS for the centres.
I have also used Spellbinders D-Lites BLOOMS ONE for another flower and
Spellbinders D-Lites TIGER LILLIES for the foliage.
For the finishing touches I have added a WIRE & MESH BUTTERFLY and the sentiment tag says
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY".
Thank you very much for coming to visit, it is very much appreciated.

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW.
Good evening to you all.
I am back again with my favourite design of card....YES, its another EASEL CARD. I get so much joy and happiness in the creating of these cards, so I hope you like what you see.
This card has been made for the Challenge over at
Butterfly Blog. Challenge #22. BUTTERFLY + B for BRADS. (Small flowers have BRADS)
For the background I have used a beautiful FLORAL PAPER. The double payered topper has been made using the Spellbinders OVAL BLISS die set. To complete the top I have made small flowers by using the SMALL DAISY punch and then layering them. The small flower have FLOWER BRADS for the centres. (Dark Green & Lemon Brads).. ~The foliage is a Marianne Creatable die.
The sentiment WITH LOVE isplaced on two small dies that were a Freebie.
On the base, the panel has been made using ;'GOLD HOLOGRAPHIC CARD, with a WHITE LAYER on top which has been embossed with a folder called TIED KNOTS (I think). I have added a die-cut BUTTERFLY by Joycraft together with a SMALL FLOWER arrangement.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Keep safe and warm.

Hello again everyone. When I struggle to create a card, I take a break, but what I do instead is to print lots of images off and sit and colour. So I have a little basket full of coloured in images. My crafty New Years Resolution is to start to create cards with all these images and so far I am doing ok. This is another of those images and I would love to enter this card into the Challenge over at

I have used a PINK GINGHAM CHECK card for the background, edged with a
SILVER DECORATIVE BORDER to highlight. I have made a smaller panel of the same card mounted onto PINK PEARLISED card, and a larger panel using GLITTER & EMBOSSED WHITE card.
My image has been coloured with promarkers, mounted on pearlised card and then the whole thing embossed using a SMALL FLOWER folder.
To complete the look I have used a selection of punches and die-cuts for the FLOWERS and SMALL BUTTERFLIES. The larger flower has been made using D-Lites BLOOMS TWO. I have used
CARD CANDI for the centres. The finishing touch is a SMALL ORGANZA BOW and the sentiment tablet says"DREAM"

THANK YOU.
Hello and good morning, and thank you very much for coming to visit.
I would like to enter this card into the fdollowing challenge.
Butterfly Challenge. Challenge #21. THANK YOU WITH BUTTERFLIES.
This is another of my favourite colour combinations, and I have made this because I just love Butterflies.
The background is PLAIN BLACK edged with a SILVER CHAINLINK BORDER as are all other edges, in order to highlight and add definition too.
The two panels are random sized using scraps of paper from the First Edition NOIR ET CHIC paper pad. This paper is GLITTERED AND EMBOSSED.
The border has been created by using BLACK MIRROR CARD with a SILVER HOLOGRAPHIC CARD on top which has been punched down both edges with a Martha Stewart CLOUDY HEARTS punch. Running down the centre of that is a DOUBLE ROW STRING OF PEARLS for added texture.
The large BUTTERFLY is by Ultimate Crafts and I have die-cut two layers, the bottom one is WHITE HOLOGRAPHIC and the top layer is a BLACK AND WHITE PATTERNED PAPER.
Finally I punched TWO SMALL BUTTERFLIES and layered them and to finish the look I have added the sentiment "THANK YOU" in SILVER LETTERING.
Thqnk you very much for taking the time to come and look, it is very much appreciated.

My image is another of Digi Darlas called SWEET CALLIE which has been coloured with promarkers then double mounted and edged with a Silver border.
Most of the flowers have been mde using the Small Daisy Punch and layered with gems for the centres. I have added two shades of blue pearlised card using the Spellbinders FOLIAGE for the leaves
The sentiment says WITH LOVE, and finally I have also added turquoise Heart Shaped Gems.
Thank you very much for stopping by.
Happy crafting.
With Love, Sandra xx

BLOWING DANDELIONS EASEL CARD.
Hello again to you all.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenge.
CCC Digi Creations Challenge #16. DIGI + EMBELLISH.
For this challenge, I decided to make one of my favourite designs of card...and EASEL CARD. I just love to create this style of card.
The background designer paper is from the Forever in Time HEAT PERFECT PRINTS paper pad.
All edges have a SILVER CHAINLINK BORDER to highlight and add definition too.
On the top part, I have die-cut TWO LIN LENE CORNERS and once in position I have added a PINK ORGANZA BOW onto each one.
My image is one of Digi Darlas, and I know that this store is no longer open, but I have lots of these images, and I love them all. It is called BLOWING DANDELIONS which I have coloured with promarkers then mounted onto PINK CARD.
I have die-cut the larger of the top flowers and added a PINK PEARL for the centre. The two smaller flowers have been made using the SMALL DAISY PUNCH and CARD CANDI for the centres. I have added a Spellbinders JEWELLED FANTASIES DIE which has been embossed with the
SWISS DOTS folder for the FOLIAGE.
To complete the top I have added a GLITTERED ACETATE BUTTERFLY.
The layered panel on the bottom part has been embossed with the SWISS DOTS folder. I have added a Martha Stewart ASTER FLOWER in designer paper with a BUTTON CENTRE. The foliage is by
Creative Expressions FERN TRIO using PINK PEARLISED CARD and finally my sentiment tablet says "BEST WISHES".
Thank you so much for sparing the time to come and visit.
Happy crafting.

Hello and good afternoon fellow crafters. I hope that you are all well on this rather icy cold , windy afternoon.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges.
Stampin Royalty. Challenge #260. COLOUR CHALLENGE.
Card Mania. Challenge #63. ANYTHING GOES.
Although I do not have the stated colours on the chart, I have found as near to the requirements as I am able to from my stash.. I do hope that this is ok.
On a plain GREEN background, I have then added a PATTERNED GREEN PAPER from the ANGELICA & ADAM COLLECTION paper pad. All edges have a
GOLD DECORATIVE BORDER to highlight and add definition too.
I have then got the remaining THREE COLOURS in TEXTURED CARD and made
LAYERED PANEL BORDER. The two top layers have been punched down both edges with either the Martha Stewart OPTIC DOT & BUBBLEBATH PUNCHES.
I then used the D-Lites SPRIGS dies for the FOLIAGE which is then added to the panel along with THREE CO-ORDINATING FLOWERS.
Finally I have added two different colours of CARD CANDI, and my sentiment tablet says
"WITH LOVE".
Thank you very much for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your day and HAPPY CRAFTING.
With love, Sandra xx
