Welcome back.  Today I am sharing a card for everyone out there that has been impacted by Covid19.  In New Zealand we have finally started coming out of lockdown to a very different world and it is still very scary out there despite very low numbers of new cases in NZ.  I have spent the time at home working on my colouring skills and different flowers using different techniques.

I have been looking for this LR026 decorative die from Marianne Designs for some time and was thrilled when I was able to get it from E-Bay.  I know that I am going to get a lot of use with it as it is the perfect backdrop for lovely flowers.  I was inspired by Uma Didwania with her Heartfelt Creations.Wild Roses created using Dress My Craft Soft Oriental Paper.

Materials Used: 

Marianne Designs LR0236

Marianne Designs LR0272

Altenew Best Sentiments Stamp set

Heartfelt Creations Wild Rose – Small stamp and die set.

Heartfelt Creations Oakberry Blossoms stamp and die set – leaves

Dress My Craft Create a Flower – leaves and flowers

Dress My Craft Daisy die

Dress My Craft Styrofoam Buds

Dress My Craft Stamens

Dress My Craft Pollens

Dress My Craft Soft Floral Oriental Paper

Distress ink – Spun Sugar

Memento ink – Lilac Posies

I hope that I have inspired you and cheered you up.

Mother’s Have a Beautiful Day

Welcome back to a very different Mother’s Day celebration today.  I am at home with my husband and daughter having a very quiet day and will be hopefully catching up with my son when our restrictions are released in the next week or so.

I have a special card to cheer all those celebrating Mother’s Day around the world.  I have used Heartfelt Creations Wild Rose and Oakberry Lane flowers and leaves with the new Elegant Oval Frame dies.  I have had limited craft supplies at home and so have used the Calla Lily papers with these flowers.

I apologise for the quality of the photos – the lighting is not great at home.

I hope that you are safe and well wherever you are in the world.  Kia Kaha – stay strong

Welcome back and today I am sharing a card made using some gorgeous dies and flowers from Heartfelt Creations.

I have mixed the new Rounded Lattice Dies from the Black Friday 2019 release with the Swirly Border and Accents die for a lovely wedding card or for any celebration.  I have added a Flowering Dogwood with some Oakberry Lane Blossoms to finish this card.

I hope that I have inspired you to use your dies more creatively.

Welcome back and today I want to share a card featuring the gorgeous Eyelet Lace die from Heartfelt Creations.  This is a very pretty and delicate card suitable for birthdays and weddings and the vellum Oakberry Lanes are the perfect touch to finish the card.

I have die cut four decorative dies and adhere two dies together for more strength.  I have also shaped the vellum flowers in the Oakberry Lane Blossoms mold and they came out well.

I hope that you get some inspiration to try this for yourself.
