Both use items that have been in my stash for an eternity. The Storybook cartridge by Cricut, a flower and leaf punch from the archives and a brand new sentiment die by Britannia. Oh the butterfly dies are new too - eeeeeeeeeeek seem to have bought a lot of stash lately. Love these butterflies by Joanna Sheene though - so delicate. If anyone knows a good way of sticking the Britannia sentiment die cuts on projects please let me know as I am still experimenting.
- Use it Tuesday anything goes - old stash Cricut Cartridge and punches
- Crafting from the heart anything goes
Have a good day tomorrow everyone.

Both cards are very nice! Really like the blue & silver one! Thanks for joining us in our first challenge at Crafting From The Heart! Angie-DT
Hi there Ann!
A few things, so make a cup of tea and sit back!
Firstly, I adore your cards - both are gorgeous - especially the blue and silver one!
Secondly, fixing those Britannia sentiments. Generally I use a Quickie Glue pen as it's got such a fine nib. If really pushed I use Crafter's Pick Ultra Tacky glue - for onto acetate or glossy surfaces where the glue pen might not work well. I did a blog post here about the stuff and it really does live up to its name: http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/tis-season-to-be-jolly.html
Thirdly, thank you so much for commenting and becoming a follower, I'm returning the compliment :)
And last, but not least, I bet you use little scraps (snippets) when making your lovely cards. Why not come and join us in the Snippets Playground? It's a fun, a little bit silly at times, and a weekly prize to be won.
Hope to see you there - the girlies will make you very welcome!
Hugs, Di xx

The are both gorgeous cards Ann and I agree with you about the timeit takes to come uP with a design.Good idea to make a couple while you are at it. I saw a good tip on the tv yesterday for sticking delicate die. Smearing pva glue on the back of your hand and dabbing the die into it. I'm going to try that myself next time I use a fine die.

Yes I've seen that a lot lately by the lady that demos the tonic dies. It does work - I've tried it using photo glue. After a few times though my skin felt sore - don't see why you couldn't put a little on a piece of acetate or something for same effect.
A beautiful card for a lovely mam thankyou for joining our first challenge at crafting from the heart challenge blog and hope to see more of your work next time. Good luck Fiona (DT C-owner) x
