August 01, 2024

Happy Thursday!!

I hope this post finds you well. I love Thursdays they are like the unsung heroes of the week. They don’t get the fanfare of Fridays or the cozy vibes of Sundays. But they deserve our appreciation. So, here’s a virtual high-five to you, my friend! May your Thursday be filled with laughter, kindness, and unexpected moments of crafting joy.

• Crafters Companion card blank - https://amzn.to/3LQJmAl

• Script Embossing folder - https://amzn.to/4dnHcUw

• Mirror card - i used the gold from the bundle - https://amzn.to/3Aa6wiv

• Tsukineko Gold mini ink pad for distressing the edge of the embossed layer, i also rubbed some over areas of the embossed writing for a bit of shimmer - https://amzn.to/3LPrfLe

• The 3 dark green leaves are my holly leaves - i cut the spikes off to make them look like bay leaves - https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/aAhoc - a great way to speeeeed cut too!!

• I use the gorgeous Spellbinders foliage die - https://amzn.to/4fu4oCw which i coloured by rubbing over with my new Tsukineko green mini ink pad - https://amzn.to/3WuNefb (i love this green)

• I made some bead clusters with some seed beads and wires to add a bit of bling

• The ribbons were a selection from my stash

• The flower is a fabric handmade flower from my pre-made flower stash - the centre gold part is a stamen die

• Top left of the topper fancy gem - For fancy gems for flower centres check this set out on amazon - https://amzn.to/4d0C48R it is pricey for the set but they are so lovely to use for your "special cards" Every time i order this set they have a few slightly different ones in. I like it because i have a good mix.

Adhesives:

Tape Pens are from Crafters Companion - https://amzn.to/3WuNefb

Hot glue gun and glue sticks used for all of the leaves, flower and gems - mine is yellow and old but the newer ones are white and now come with a little bag - https://amzn.to/3WivVxS

My personal preference for glue guns for my crafts is small, a good lead length and a completely metal nib

Foam pads to raise up the sentiments - I like the Hunkydory deep ones for this - https://amzn.to/4fq2NgR

they are less fiddly to use than the smaller ones and quicker!

Supplies List

• Cardblank - I used these DL style or "Tall" cardblanks as i think they are a fab price for the pack size - https://amzn.to/3WOtPWX

• The embossing folder is an old one from my stash I'm sorry i couldn't find it on amazon to post a link for you but you might be able to do a search for it... it is Creative Expressions by Sue Wilson - it is called Floral Stripes and the product code for it is EF - 033

• I used the same gold ink pad as i did for the card above (link above)

• Mirror card (above)

• The lace is from this mixed pack - https://amzn.to/4dhlcL0 (i love this mixed bundle as you get a good assortment of different widths rather than buying a whole roll of one style)

• I used my sentiment sheet which you can find here - https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/Bdukv

• I then cut this out with my loopy edge nesting die from Vaessen

• FOILING - I then foiled it using my Foiling Machine - If you would like to take a look at the machine you can find it on amazon here: https://amzn.to/4ftMuzK

• The heat reactive foil i used can be found here: https://amzn.to/4dbavdq

** If you have a foiling machine or you are interested in foiling i do have some projects that i have done, feel free to reach out and i will send you the details to the video and blog posts) I also have some sentiment sheets and designs on the website that are great for foiling projects :-)

I used the same adhesives for all of the cards
