What's In A Title?

The blog title is my take on my favourite quote from Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novel, when Bella realises she is in love with vampire Edward. My version is slightly less impressive than that in the book but never the less true:


"About three things I was absolutely positive, first I was an obsessed crafter, second, there was a part of me - and I didn't know how potent that part might be, that thirsted for beautiful craft materials, dies, stamps, papers, cardstock etc, and third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with scrapbooking and cardmaking"

Create A Card Dies


This was my second allocation for Crafter’s Companion Design Team.  I worked with two dies from the Gemini Create a Card range, Ornamental Baubles and Christmas Greetings.   These dies cut into the card but they don’t have an outer cutting edge so the design stays within the card.  I loved working with these dies, they are so versatile and cut like a dream.   They make gorgeous shaker cards when used with acetate and look great when coloured with Sparkle pens.  



My favourite make with these dies was this Christmas planner.  I used the die to work out the size of the book and used a die cut as a decoration on the front cover then cut another and snipped out various words which I used to decorate the pages in the planner.  I will be making another one of these for myself for Christmas, I love having everything written down so I don’t forget anything.
