Pretty pram


This card was very simple with minimal layering. I cut the pram from the New Arrival cart from silver mirri board and DP from the Nana's Nursery stack from DCWV. Brads were added to the wheels and the hood . A 5cm panel was made from 3 strips of DCWV paper, ribbon and a bow added along with a Pink Petticoat Tiny Tags sentiment. This panel and the pram were stuck on to a white panel with dimensionals. I also made one from the boys stack in exactly the same way. Supereasy!!!
Recipe as follows:
5" x 7" Tent fold card
DCWV Nana's Nursery Girl stack
Silver mirri card
Papermania pink brads
Stash ribbon
Pink Petticoat Tiny Tags
New Arrival Cricut cartridge
Accent Essentials cart ( scalloped circle behind sentiment)
I have a few prams on different carts but I think that this is the prettiest one. It has a kind on vintage look to it, as though it should be pushed by a Norland Nanny!!!!
Thanks for looking!

Happy Anniversary!


I made this card for my brother and SIL for their 7th wedding Anniversary which was on Saturday.
The colours look a bit weak but it is actually a lovely dusky pink combo. I can't tell you how many times I made this card then chucked it! I just couldn't seem to get it right ( we've all been there right?!) I was following a sketch but it just wasn't working for me so I chucked that as well!
Then it all came together. The heart was cut three times from George -twice in card and once in spotty paper.These layers were then stuck together (this gives you a solidity akin to chipboard) and scuffed to give a weathered look. A layered flower was added ( brown,pink & cream layers to pick out the colours in the ribbon)
The 'seven' panel was cut from the Graphically Speaking cart and trimmed to fit. The ribbon is patterned with little flowers in shades of cream,coffee and pink. A Safmat greeting and gem stones complete the card.
Recipe as follows:
5" x 7" tent fold card
Doodlebug embossed paper
Spotty paper from Pink Petticoat
Bazill cardstock
Prima flowers
Papermania gems & pearl brads
Safmat from Letraset
George & Basic Shapes and Graphically Speaking Cricut carts
Thanks for stopping by!!

Just 4 you!!!


This card was made with new Graphically Speaking cart.I had waited sooo long for this cart and I nearly took the hands off the poor DHL guy when he delivered it to the shop- he couldn't get out of the shop quick enough!!! This cart is lovely. It has loads of phrases to cut along with icons to go with each phrase. This card was made for our niece Tara who is studying medicine in Melbourne. I cut the Just 4 you phrase twice in contrasting colours,chopped them about a bit and then reconstructed them to give a 2 tone effect. It was then layered onto a panel . A '4' was cut from patterned paper and a rub on adde to spell 'Tara' Before I stuck the blue layer to the pink I passed the phrases through a Xyron and then added ultrafine glitter. A flower, pearl brad and ribbon finish it!
Recipe a s follows:
Tent fold card - 7" x 5"
Designer paper
Bazill cardstock
Prima flowers
Papermania brads
Stash ribbon
Graphically Speaking Cricut cart.
Ultrafine glitter
