Ring Thanks

 Hi all, I'm here with my card for the latest Tic-Tac-Toe challenge.  This time, I went down the right hand column with Die-Cut/Thank You/Metallic to come up with this card.


I hot-foiled, stenciled and die-cut the floral image and set it aside while I worked on the other elements.  The card base was enhanced with a corner die placed in the top left and right corners, giving a tone-on-tone effect.  For the sentiment, I die-cut from NBUS Pastel Sunrise cardstock to match the flowers, stacking it three deep before adding it to a matte silver foil shadow.


And that's it.  Thanks for visiting.  I hope you'll check out the fabulous cards made by the design team and have a go yourself.

Rainbow Circles

 Hi and welcome!  It's time for another sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches team and this week our hostess is Jen Brum - who has a dislike of circles.  Check out her sketch... 😮


For my card, I went pretty literal again and found the perfect die for the job.  I chose a selection of rainbow coloured cardstock and die-cut the inners and then die-cut the outer three times and stacked them together.


I finished with a simple birthday sentiment and a white enamel heart.  TBH the enamel heart is to cover up a little blob of glue that I tried to rub away and made worse!

Thanks for visiting.  Please check out the wonderful cards made by the rest of the design team.

Diamond Triangles

 Hi. A quick post from me today. I’ve been out of town for the last few weeks as my daughter needed follow-up surgery so I was with her during her surgery and recovery. 

Today’s card uses the latest sketch from Freshly Made Sketches where our hostess this week is Jen Mitchell. I didn’t want to go the obvious route yet here we are 😀

Geometric hot foil plates and an embossing folder pulled this more-masculine Christmas card together. It’s pretty self-explanatory so I won’t go into any more detail. But feel free to ask any questions.
