Masculine Happy Day

It is raining outside and I am inside happily working on some 'dreaded man cards' using pieces left over from some kits that have been lying around on my desk.

It is nice and easy using the Spellbinders Creative Cogs 3D-M-Bossabilities folder, some areas have been highlighted using Tsukineko Gold Embossing Powder.  The patterned paper has been embossed using the Spellbinders Harlequin M-Bossabilities folder and the Grand Calibur Machine.

Get Well

The card I am sharing with you today is created using some of my favourite Spellbinders Paper Arts Dies - the Die D-Lites that are designed by Stacey Caron.

I have used the Spellbinders™ A2 Floral Ribbon Threader  Nestabilities® for my base card, I love the pretty scalloped edges that it gives.  The Medallion Two  Die D-Lites Shapeabilities® has been cut and mounted onto white card to show off the pattern.

 

 

The JustRite® Papercraft sentiment has been stamped using Tsukineko Versafine - Onyx Black and cut out using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine and Standard Circles SM Spellbinders™ Nestabilities

Seam Binding, a Mulberry Rose and Want2Scrap© pearls.

Peace Love and Happiness

It is a lovely Monday morning here, we are enjoying sunshine after the rain - a banquet for the senses.  I love the smell of the rain, especially when it is followed by the sun glistening on all that is wet.....and butterflies come to visit!

 

I am using up some kits that were left over from Card Design Class - it certainly makes for quick cards.  For this one I have added one of the divine butterflies from the Spellbinders™ Wonderful Wings Shapeabilities®.  This has been cut out using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine

.

The swirl is from Want2Scrap© and the paper from Canvas Corp, a paper rose has been added to the butterfly, along with some small pearls.  The sentiment is a sticker from my stash.

This card is for the following challenges: 

Glitter n Sparkle - Bling It On

Alphabet Challenge - A for Anything with Wings
