Eastham, Wirral, United Kingdom
Welcome to Dottie about cards. I live on the Wirral and have been crafting for 10 years. I have a son and daughter and 6 grandchildren. I have been a craft tutor covering many aspects of cardmaking for 10 years. I was employed by a local craft company, sadly that came to an end so now I have now gone freelance.

I have used Dimension luscious lily stamp set and coloured in with fleximarkers.

The third card I decided to use my memory box Country House although I think it looks like
a church.  The flowers are also from memory box and the leaf flourish is from Dynamics. This house die
opens up a number of ideas, wedding, christening, confirmation, new house and sympathy cards.
I am sitting in front of a fan as it is so hot so I think I will just watch a little bit of Create and Craft.
This is the second card from my class.  All the stamps used are from Dimension Stamps.  I have coloured the images in with French Navy and poppy promarkers and glittered the jewels on the crown and on the
diamond
Hi folks, this card is one of three I did on a recent class.  I have used Xcut embossing and
diecut folder, nestability and Lily of the Valley sentiment stamp.  The flower was made
from Dimension Stamps petal passion set.  I just love the shape of the petals and I chose a swirly
stamp fro  the set to stamp onto my flower after I coloured it with colour box cats eyes pigment ink.

This was one of the May make and take cards.  I used a Joy heart die and a Marianne circle die.
This is another May make and take card.  For this card I have used a nestability frame die and then have printed the flower image onto safmat cut around it and peeled the backing off.  Rather than using a stick
to rub the image flat I just used my finger.
This is the third card I did on the make and take.  The flowers are from the nestability aster
die set, the image is from Boofle Dodigital cd rom.  I printed the backing card and papers
from the same cd rom.

I have been really excited about these new stamps from Dimension Stamps.  This is the new
shaped flower set.  I have used the medium stamp  for the red flower and the small stamp
for the blue flower.  The verse is also on the stamp set.  The stamp in the corner and the stamp
around the circle are just two of the lovely stamps on this set.  Again I have used the medium
stamp for the white flower.  This flower was using the large stamp for the leaf base and the medium stamp for the pink flower.  The leaf base has been stamped with yet another stamp on this set.  Believe me
ladies once you get this set you can't put it down.  Must sign off as I have got some more ideas for
this set.
This is one of the new stamp sets from Dimension stamps I have coloured with promarkers and used one of the tags from nestabilities and stamped birthday wishes from the stamp sets
I have used some of the extra stamps on the orchid set to make up this orchid and stamped the background
again with a stamp from the set. The lacy square is from one of Marianne dies.
This easel card has been stamped with the smaller orchid image and the message stamp again from
the orchid set. Again this flower has been made from the smaller single petal stamp from the
same set
