A Song of Spring

 Hello

Here are some more of my cards made with the fabulous Book of Spells from the Crafty Witches.  These are from 'A Song of Spring' Collection:

For this card, I printed off a topper, backing paper and solid paper.  I embossed some white paper using one of my very neglected embossing folders, and the used square dies to cut out all the layers, which were then glued onto the base card.

All the toppers for this card and the one above were printed on one sheet - and I still have some to use!  Such economical crafting!  I printed a sheet of patterned paper and one of solid and used some more of the embossed paper left from the card above.  The layers were all die cut and then glued, flat, onto the base card.  I stamped a sentiment which was then added to the centre, and some tiny pearls added to each corner.

There are also beautiful matching inserts included in the Book of Spells and I added these to each of my cards to complete them.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Exciting News!

 Hello

I'm thrilled to say that I am now on the design team for the Crafty Witches.  I've been a follower of Lynda Chapman for many years and she first got me into digital crafting and I've never looked back!  The first of my creations were on Highlight Crafts last Saturday, and I was thrilled to see them on screen.

These are a couple of my creations from the Cutest Cuddles Toppers which are in the Digital Book of Spells 2025 Spring Edition.  There is so much beautiful content in this collection and it really sparks your creativity.

I LOVE giraffes, and this is such a beautiful image.  I enlarged the topper and printed it twice.  I then used 3d glue to create the decoupage and raised the mummy giraffe higher than the baby.  These were then matted onto layers cut with Teardrop and Sweep dies from Carnation Crafts and I stamped a sentiment to complete the card.

I had such fun creating this one!  Again, I enlarged the topper and printed it out twice.  I glued one topper to the back of the frame for extra stability. I then cut out and added a layer of ultra-thick embossing powder to each of the Orca's.  I added the baby with one layer of 3mm foam pads and the mum with 2 layers.  I made the shells using paper clay so the picture didn't end up too heavy.  These were added using silicone glue.  The driftwood was collected from a beach on Anglesey. 

I used a deep box frame from Hobbycraft.

I'll be back tomorrow with some more of my creations!

Thanks for visiting.
