Now onto my card
Started with 8 x 8 white base card Embossed with Creative Expression Eternity folder by Sue Wilson
I used the decorative piece of yesterday's frame Sue Wilson's Cordoba Die,in the copper gold card.
Put a sticky double sided sheet on the back & used some Autumn Leaves gilding flakes,rubbed it well in. Matted it to a decorative card from my stash,then matted onto another piece of copper gold card.
I cut three Cut Fold & Tuck die's by spellbinders, Spectacular Spin, Angle Approach,& the smaller size of Spectacular Spin,folded them & layered them up. Glued them to focal point,added a pearl embellishment,Added two corner die cut's. Cut the Delicate Daisies die's from the finishing touches range by S.W in both open & closed,layered them up,cut two Curled vines & some leaves.Arranged them onto the right of card with the vines & leaves.some flat back pearls in middle.
Cut a Sue Wilson Itty Bitty bow added to bottom left corner.
Scandinavian collection Stockholm Die by Sue Wilson.Added a daisies.
I hope you like today's card.
I have now got to make a start on Harry's Christening invite card's, my son has asked me to do.
combined with his 1st birthday i have till June so should be fine. Sam is going to let me know what to write inside,so just doing card for now. When finished i will blog it for you.

Love & Hug's Lynda xx
Wow Lynda this card looks so intricate and gorgeous, so rich in colour. Those daisies are divine.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question my shoulder isn't broken but they think I have a tear in my rotator cuff, (the bit that moves your arm around) so any movement is painful, today it is excruciating and have been pill popping on top of my morphine, and still no let up.
Anyway hope you have a lovely day
Take care Warm hugs Theresa (TOB)xx
Hi Teresa,
DeleteThank you so very much for such a lovely comment.
OUCH your poor shoulder that sound's horrific no wonder you are in so much pain,
It must be very difficult for you not to move it,we don't realise how much we do move our shoulders.Do you manage to sleep at night or not.Couldn't they top up your morphine dose if the extra pain tablet's aren't working. I'm praying your ultrasound appointment come's this week Theresa. It's terrible how long you have been waiting,I would have thought it should be an emergency appointment. I wish your pain today eases for you,try too rest sweetheart.

Another beautiful card Lynda. Oh your going to be as busy as I am with those christening invites? I have been cranking the handle on the machine today cutting striplets, leaves and the centre die cut, then embossing them, I still have a way to go. Thankfully they aren't needed for a while yet, are you getting to choose the design or is daddy and mummy? With Granny just having the work to do? Hazel x
ReplyDeleteHi Hazel third time lucky my i pad keeps freezing. Thank you for leaving me lovely comments.Mummy chose design of invite's I did a sample one with a striplet but she didn't want that,in the end her one is easier as just stamping & ribbon & bow, I did 25 today jet got to get some ribbon from Hobbycraft tomorrow not sure how many they want.Then Sam has to do the wording for inside as they are combining his 1st birthday. Then i can copy it on the computer & cut them out. Still I have until June.good old Nannie.
DeleteThank's again Hug's Lynda xx
Hi again Hazel
DeleteI had a Email from Margaret,she is fine,just Broadband trouble,no Internet for over a week& no phone so pleased she is ok.
Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting round to blogs now! Had family to lunch today and after that were crafting around the kitchen table! Kitchen still not completely straight but I need a break!
Love todays card. Very effective indeed. Just love those daisies. It's so nice to see how others use things as we are different and can learn so much from each other. Well I can learn! Lol.
Will check Pinterest later! Not had time as yet.
You are going to be busy with Invitations but they will be lovely.
Take care , my friend,
Love Myra xxx

DeleteLove & Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Lynda, We cut card to the size of the old Typists notebook ! We then used washi tape to decorate the card in strips or banners .then glued that to the pad and decorated the front with various charms etc! The two girls then knotted ribbons through the loops on the pad. They looked lovely but best of all , all four children from 7- 15 yrs were happy with them. Craft room still tidy! Girls looked at it and said wow Grandma !
DeleteHope you've had a good day! Absolutely agree about Pinterest. Will only reply to people I know!
Love Myra xx
Wow Myra,
DeleteThat sounds lovely Are your grandchildren taking after crafty Grandma. Haha you didn't let them in your tidy craft room then.
Good night my friend
Love Lynda xx
PS! Lynda I asked about sentiments and you mentioned some - have ordered them from JS! Thanks a lot! Xx
ReplyDeleteHi again Myra,
ReplyDeleteDid you order the Bold sentiment Stamps, I'v taken them off my list as I already had the Another Senior moment haha. They are a nice set of stamps.
I'v done all the stamping on the invites just got to add the ribbon & bow,will have to go hobbycraft tomorrow as I won't have enough of my silver ribbon & Sam has got to tell me what she wants inside as it's combined with Harry's Birthday,I do have till June though,thank goodness.
I would rather get them all done,mind you they haven't said how many yet.I'v done 25 so far.
I will put one on pinserest tomorrow.
Take care Myra love Lynda xx
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteI Love the Beautiful Card you have made using all the Fabulous Dies.
I must say I think the Colour is Beautiful, I Love The Delicate Daises I Love what you can achieve with them your a very clever lady.
I must say since finding a few new Blogs it's been great to check out people's Awesome Cards.
I Love using Gilding Flakes I don't use them as often as I should! I Love those Corner Dies, I make large Cards like yourself.
Your going to be a very busy Lady making Christening Invatations but they will be Stunning.
Take Great Care
Love and Hugs
From Sam xxx
Thank you so much Sam,
DeleteI have a few older die's,it was showing that
CFT die for Steph,I had the urge to make a card using them. I must use some more of my older die's in the future,they do tend to be left out in the cold.
Love & Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Lynda. You keep sneaking past me after Ive popped in lol. I put my head in, check to see if I have a new beauty to look at, if not I close the door behind me and turn the key. Then you pop in leave a card which I dont find until the day after, so Im sorry Im a day behind. I love the richness of the colour's you out together and its so nice to see old mixed with the new. Love the way you have put the old SB cut and fold die with the newer modern type dies. I love your creativity.
ReplyDeleteWhatever your day brings today I hope all is well.
Hugs.
Lancashire Steph xx
Hi Steph,
DeletePlease don't apologies,it's my fault as I didn't post it till late. . Thank you for opening the door again & popping back. I love receiving your comments you always give me such lovely ones so thank you Steph. Also thank you for reminding me of my old CFT die.
Love & Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteOh another amazing Lynda creation! You put so much work into each card my lovely, always a work of art!
Good news that you have something to look forward to (christening) although you have to 'sing for your Supper' as the saying goes, by making the invitations first, they will surely be stunning if you have made them, truly something to treasure, be sure and make certain that one goes into Harry's keepsake box for him to look back on in years to come.
What style card will you for His birthday? If you want me to cut you out one of those big Teddys
That I used for the 1st birthday card I did over Christmas I would be more than happy to do so, I have a Cricut machine, that I have had for years and hardly use since discovering Dies!
Just let me know, happy to help anyone!
Hugs coming your way, enjoy your trip to Hobbycraft, can you come pick me up on the way??? Wouldn't that be fun?!
Hugs
Sandra xxxxx
Hi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for giving me such lovely comments.
Invits are coming on ok,I was going to do them useing the Striplet die,but Sam just wanted stamp of Christening invitation + a cross,stamped on the bottom with ribbon round middle Ithe a bow,she liked the example I did for her. Actually it's saved me a lot of work no die cutting. Sam is wording the inside as it's combinding his birthday.Sandra my lovely we will pick you up & take you to Hobbycraft. I can dream it would be so lovely.
I would love you to cut me the gorgeous Teddy thank you so very much.

My oh my you have been one busy lady and no mistake Lynda. I have so missed my visits and chats on email with you but thanks to a wonderful BT broadband engineer at last we are in from the 'cold' and back online.
ReplyDeleteYou really have been excelling with your cards over the last week, the colours are fantastic and they are all so very beautiful, you really have been one busy bunny and no mistake! Plus making christening cards for your little darling what an honour to make his cards, dare I ask are you going to be making his thank you cards too? When I made Ben's thank you cards I die cut a lovely photo taken on his christening day, if you are going to do them and die cutting is involved just let me know if you want any help it is not a problem.
With love and hugs
Margaret xx
Hello my friend so lovely having you back Margaret,I have realy missed you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for you lovely words about my cards.
Hope Ben is better now those pictures you sent me with his other HP card & those glasses he had on they did make me laugh. He is a lovely boy. I have done some of the invits,I was going to something with the striplets die but Sam sent me a picture of what she wanted,so actually it's better for me as just staming & ribbon with bow,so haven't got all that cutting out. Did you see all the die cut's Hazel has done for her daughter's invits so many & her Striplets die has cracked but she said can still use it luckily.Will Email you soon Margaret.

Hi Lynda, you lady is something else ! This card is amazing with gilding flakes and the biggest nip-tucking thingy I ever seen, Gorgeous colours !
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your Christening cards will be appreciated ,you putting so much work into everything you do. Yes,I'm sure someone is stealing the hours in the day and at the moment I'm not sure if I coming or going. My sleep is non existent the last few nights and still trying doing house work etc during the day and of course little bit of cutting /crafting getting harder so tonight I will at least go to bed and see how it goes, but if Rick is snoring....lol Looking forward to AP already ,my ticket is bought. Is Terry letting you go yet ? lol
Warm hugs to you all incl. four paws and ok then Freddy too ! Maria x
Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, Sorry you haven't been sleeping very well,I don't ether pluss Terry's snoring for England every night you think I would be used to it after 46 year's.
Maria I'm sure your house is spotless so the house work will still be there the next day or next week. Just rest in the day if you haven't slept at night. Sorry for late reaply my IPad kept freezing up last night so gave up after 4 attempts.
