Hello creative people, I hope you are doing well today. Don't fall off your chair because I've posted two days in a row.
I had the pleasure to Guest Design for Crealies again. I created a couple of cards using one of the new gorgeous tag die sets, along with other beautiful dies and stamps. These designs were shown at the Crealies blog yesterday.
I used Tag & Label die set - No 7 to create a lovely shaped card. I scored and folded navy card stock and taped (with removable tape) the left cutting side of the one of the larger dies slightly over the fold so that I ended up with a lovely shaped folded card.
I used the beautiful Christmas Angel of Light by Chocolate Baroque as the main image:
I left the inside panel blank to write Christmas Greetings.
The angel on the front tag panel was stamped with a navy blue dye ink and coloured with Distress Inks using my craft mat, a brush and water. I also stamped with Bits & Pieces stamp No.37 above and below the angel.
I used Uno No 13 and Set of 3 No 13 die sets to create the layered Poinsettias. I die cut them from white card stock, coloured the layers with Distress Inks using a finger dauber and molded the backs with a stylus on a foam mat. I also added glitter here and there.
I created a second card (below) with the same tag die set along with other dies and stamps. The Bits & Pieces stamps are fantastic for creating backgrounds, I have many of them :)
I used the same technique to create the folded card above. I coloured the background with Distress Inks and water on my craft mat and stamped it with Bits & Pieces stamp No.37 and Bits & Pieces stamp No 48.
Uno No 13 and Set of 3 No 13 die sets were used again to create the layered Poinsettias and I also stamped them with Bits & Pieces stamp No 53 to create 'texture' (difficult to see in the photograph). I used Duo Die 31 and Duo Die 31A to create the leaves.
And below are pictures of the Crealie Dies used:
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week,
Shirley

Stunning creations. Hope that Archie will start eating better real soon. Skipper sends purrs.
Fantastic creation, love the dies etc you used. Hugs, Valerie
These are both fabulous creations Shirley using this prettily shaped tag which makes wonderful cards. I love the colours of both but the second with those wonderful turquoise leaves just has the edge. I love the background stamping and the pretty angel, poinsettias and leaves are perfect focal images. x
Awesome tag cards. The first one really speaks to me with all those pretty colours you painted on. The flowers are gorgeous. As always, you're such an inspiration. Hope you have a good week.
Stunning Shirley, the arched die shape is really lovely and the first in particular created with the beautiful purples and greens looks just like a stained glass window.

What a great idea to use those label dies to create a shaped card they look super. I also love that CB angel stamp, so your first card was bound to be a hit for me. Great cards, it looks like you are making excellent progress with your designs Shirley. Elaine x
Congrats on your GDT position, Shirley! They hit the jackpot with you!
I saw your first tag-shaped card, and my heart melted at the emotions it reveals: sincerity, love, devotion, beauty, longing, kindness, joy... you have brought that image to a gorgeous life - such peacefulness in this amazing creation!
Your second tag is gorgeous as well, with your beautifully shaped flowers and wondrous colors! Thanks for sharing your pretties today! hugs, de
Oh what a very lovely piece of artwork. It looks like an Art Nouveau motif which I like much. Wonderful coloring and the glitter and flowers make it magical nice. I love it much. Really a dream!
