A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

A LITTLE BIT OF THAT NEW STASH!

Hi Everyone

Happy Thursday!

Today I actually set myself a "realistic" do list .. .. so have managed to make a little share with one of my new crafty purchases:




This used:

Backing Papers:  First Edition Paper "Gilded Winter" and Glitter Sheets
Sentiment:  Lili of the Valley "Christmas Sentiment Tags"
Memory Box Die "Snowflake Heart" [Doh! I've given it away now LOL!!]
Dovecraft Holly Punch (ages old .. not sure it is still available
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Acrylic Paint Dabber and Clear Embossing Powder for the holly leaves
Ribbon, cord, fine glitter and little jingle bells from my crafty stash box

I am sure you can guess that my piece of new crafty stash is that beautiful Memory Box die .. .. and of course now I am left with lots and lots of tiny snowflakes for sticking onto other creations.  LOL!!

The shiny background to my die isn't part of the glitter sheets .. .. I put strips of strong adhesive tape on the back of the cut die and sprinkled fine glitter into it.  A good old press down and it has stayed in place no problem.

I think I shall be making a few of these!!

I'll catch you again soon.

Love

When I first saw the card I thought it was a heart stamp full of snow flakes. Then realised it was a die and Wow! Love it! Like how you placed fine glitters behind the snow flakes. It really is a twinkling card!
