Wow! I can't believe it has been so long!  As you all know this is a very busy time and on top of Christmas I have just finished prepping for tomorrows 4 Day Deal on Create and Craft.... these shows are a mix of the last few months collections at fabulous sale prices:)  I have lot's of special demos prepped so I hope you manage to catch some of the shows:)  I am also very excited that I have been recording USA shows so December has been very busy:)  I just have a few more samples to make for CHA and I will be able to take a break:)
So anyway I hope you are all enjoying this festive season....I imagine you are all organised and have your cards all finished and your presents wrapped.....me! well thanks to internet shopping and my daughter doing all my wrapping I am almost done!
Today I am sharing the heart that I demo'd a few weeks back using the Romantique collection.  If you didn't see that show I may get chance this week to demo it again:)

I have used the Romantique dies and the Romantique swan Cling stamp and the gorgeous papers to create the heart.  The heart is an MDF product that I purchased at Ally Pally last year.

On Your Special Day Heartfelt Creations Tutorial

A very good morning to you all.  I hope you are all keeping well :)
I am again so very sorry that I haven't been around for a while.  I just wanted to give you all a heads up on a photographic tutorial that I have written for Heartfelt Creations which is over on the blog HERE  You may have seen this card shown on Create and Craft a few weeks ago....one of my favourite types of cards to make:) 

I have made this card with a belly bar which holds the card together when closed.  The papers, stamp and dies are from the Romantique Garden collection and of course I have also incorporated the decorative border die from the Cut Mat Create die set 2A, which has become one of my all time favourites :)

I think this card would be great for a wedding or engagement card as you could incorporate a gift tag within the tag.

I will be back in the next few days with the launch of a Christmas special blog candy:) So until then take care:) x

Romantique Sneak Peek

Hello everyone. I hope you are all well :)  As promised I have another sneak peek of the new collection, Romantique which I will be launching on Create and Craft on Saturday at 11am.

• I have used papers from the Romantique paper collection, the very sweet swan stamps which are in the Romantique Swans precut set which also have co-ordinating dies in the die set, the Bleeding Heart flowers from the Hearthrob precut stamp set that again come with co-ordinating dies.  I have also used the beautiful Heart flourish die which comes in two halves and when put together make a heart.
• The decorative border is from the Cut Mat Create die set 2A.
• I have used the Tim Holtz distress tool  around the edges of the papers and main card to create a little shabby vintage style to the card. Also adding some Tea Dye Distress ink to the edges.
• I have used a grey copic pen to add a little shading to the swans and also added some Stickles glitter.
•  To finish off the card I have added some lace and pearls.

Sorry for the very short post tonight.  I hope to be able to get to share another card with you all tomorrow. Take care :) x

Romantique Collection Sneak Peek

A very good afternoon everyone.  It has been a while again since  I last blogged....I have been busy crafting from dawn until late prepping for this weekends shows.   Create & Craft Update The dates and times have changed again, so I won't be on until Saturday now.   The times are: Saturday 11am and Sunday 9am and 5pm.  As always these will also be repeated on the Craft Extra channel.
So I am thinking that you would all like to see a sneak peek of this once again gorgeous collection? You are going to love it.  It has a very romantic feel about it as the name suggests:) The papers are in shades of beautiful pinks and greens. As always the papers are stunning and all co-ordinate beautifully with the 6 stamp sets. Also in the collection is a die set which includes a decorative heart, which is totally different than you may have seen before and also 2 cute swans which when sat together create a heart.....perfect for those Valentine, wedding, engagement and just because I love you cards and projects:)  I am really looking forward to these shows....you know how much  I love anything girly and pink :)
The card that I am sharing today has been created using the Love Hangout precut stamp - HCPC 3639

• This is a pretty quick card to make.
• I have coloured the image in with chalk inks and distress markers and used some of the paper from the collection.
• I die cut the image out with Spellbinders Classic Circle die.
• The pretty daisy flourish is form the Cut Mat Create die set - 2A
• The Sentiment is from one of the older Heartfelt Creations collections - HCPC Hydranga/Posy Branch prcut set which I die cut out with a Spellbinder die set.
• To finish off the card I have added some decorative pearls around the image and some tiny pink pearls in the centre of the flowers.

This is just one of the beautiful stamps so I will be back tomorrow with another sneak peek:)

Take Care :) x
