birds in bloom...heartfelt creations....

my wonderful niece Elizabeth.......Verity cards did a facebook live for heartfelt creations a couple of weeks a go and got me scooting upstairs to dig out all my stash and make a card and oh I did have fun...found dies I had forgotten I had and stamps and dies.....wheeee

Elizabeth made an Easter card so I changed it a bit and did a birthday card...I couldnt find the heartfelt die she used so I used a spellbinder one....the rest of the dies and stamps are from the birds in bloom collection.....
Hope you are having a fun crafty day and thanks for stopping by my blog....

christmas card club challenge 11...mistletoe and wine

I always think of the song when I hear these words together....I decided to make a card and a bottle holder to go together

the card is made from a cricut cut that I have had for some years...cut in dark green and matted and layered onto white card glittered with cosmic shimmer diamond sprinkles..and pearls used for the berries.....the stamp is a crafters companion one again some years old...see I am being good and using up old stash.....
the bottle cover is made with the tonic bottle wrap die...bought when it came out and this is its first cut.......backed with dark green and I made up the mistletoe decoration using stuff in my crafty stash.....
Do pop round the other girls blogs...their links are on my side bar...they do fabulous creations.....
Hope you are having a great day...and thanks for popping by my blog.

so the tonic dies have come in......the intricate frame DL dies.....and some really old card stock....yehhhh...Anitas cards from when I first started buying crafty stash...one down 49 to go.....the happy birthday die is also a tonic one....a few nuvo drops and I am done....going to try it again in Navy and see what that looks like....
