Today I have a card for you which I have made using Dreamees Double cd Simply Sweet. It is available at www.dreamees.org.uk
Everything I have used on the card is on the cd rom apart from the Circle shape ,  lace strip and swirls which are from Dreamees Cuttables range of cds for use with the Silhouette Cameo or Craft Robo as they are all gsd files.
The colours I have used   are Teal and yellow from the cd then the white just as a base.
The base card shape is also on the cd.

I just called

Hi everyone, I hope you are well, and keeping warm, this weather is terribly cold, although the sun is out.
I have another card for you today from the  Dreamees  Simply Sweet double cd , priced at £14.99 available at www.dreamees.org.uk I have also used the telephone and the script  stamps.
The card shape of the oval is on the cd too.

I choose the colour combination of pink and red not something you would normally put together , then I added some black to make it pop as they say lol.

All the flowers are on the cd too.

The swirls have been used from our cuttables range of cds for use with the craft robo or silhouette cameo.

I also used some liquid pearls which we love at the moment .

Thank you for looking.

Speak again very soon.

Simply Sweet

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well, and have enjoyed the Easter break.

We at Dreamees have been so busy which is excellent.

Today I have a card

 for you which I have made using the Simply Sweet cd rom, the card shape is on the cd too.

The theme is pink and green, which I always think these colours go so well together.

I have distressed the edges of the matt  with the Tim Holtz distress tool.

The sentiment is also on the cd so this made a lovely topper , the flowers again are on the cd . I also used the script stamp to add a bit of detail to the heart tag.

The embellishments of the heart tag, swirls and corner are all from our cuttables range of cds for use with the cameo or robo machines because they are gsd files.

I then decorated with liquid pearls to finish off the card.

The products are available at www.dreamees.org.uk

Thank you for looking today, if you would like to leave a comment I would be delighted.

Dream of a farthing

Hi there crafters, I hope you are all well. Its been quite a tough time for me this last couple of weeks , nothing wrong just not felt 100% so things have been such an effort.
 On a good note I have got a lovely card to show you.
I have used Dreamees Penny Farthing stamp set ( http://www.dreamees.org.uk/penny-farthing-1030-p.asp ) I adore this stamp, it is so versatile with being able to use it for men or women.
I have also used papers from the Elegance Collection cd  ( http://www.dreamees.org.uk/the-elegance-collection-cd-583-p.asp ) which is still one of Hayley favorites.
Also I have used the Hot Air Balloon Set of stamps (  http://www.dreamees.org.uk/hot-air-balloons-1037-p.asp ) in which I made flowers to decorate the card.
This card has been made in one of my fave colours Peach I just love this colour its so warm.
I hope you like this card today , also if you want to see how the flowers were made using the Hot air balloon stamps here is the link for that - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYXnEcoR2RQ&list=UUbncgISsR0-11N463AwFbvg&index=2

Have a lovely weekend.

Blooming Brights meets Pretty Pastels

Good evening, I hope you are all well. 
Tonight I am showing you a card I have made today, which I am happy about because I have not made a card for a week, just not felt like it , not that I have been poorly or anything just my mojo seemed to have gone for a while lol.
This card has been made using the Blooming Brights cd, incorporating the blank flower templates from Pretty Pastels cd which enables you to use any backing paper to make your flowers to match the project you are making. 

Right getting to the card , I used a blank card 14cm square, covered this with a lilac paper, then a yellow paper on top leaving a narrow border. I then cut another piece of the purple backing paper 10cm square then a yellow paper again leaving a narrow border to mount on top. Attach this to the card at an angle. I then cut a piece of the lilac paper 14cm long by 5 cm wide again matt and layer with the yellow on top, then I  printed the plain Lilac paper from the cd  and used a Martha Stewart punch  to make a fancy edge which I attached to the paper I have just matt and layered , attached this to the card down the left hand side.
I then printed a sheet of the sentiments again from the cd cut an oval around the sentiment using a straight spellbinders oval die, then cut a scalloped oval edged with brown, another spellbinders die. Matt and layered these together as you can see in the picture attached to the main card.
I then printed the yellow and lilac backing papers I need from the blooming Brights cd, put the papers back into the printer and printed the blank flower templates from the Pretty Pastels cd , then I had the flower shapes I need in the papers I wanted to match my project. 
Attached these to the bottom right hand corner of the card as shown.
I then added a yellow double bow ribbon to the top left of the card, and a last touch a rolled flower in the middle of the bow.
I just added self adhesive pearls to add a bit of detail to the middle of some of the flowers, edges of the ribbon, and on the oval sentiment.
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my blog I would appreciate it if you would like to leave a comment.
