One today!


Sometimes I like to add another element to my mainly Cricut generated cards and I'd had this lovely sticker for yonks and thought that it would go very well on this card!
I added the sticker by MAMBI (I think!) to a white circle that I then mounted onto lime green. The 'one today' sentiment was passed through a Xyron & glittered with glamour dust. I added ribbon, tiny button brads & some paper piercing around the purple panel. I think this is cute don't you?!

A little bird told me......


When I saw this little birdie I just had to use it! It's one of 3 different birds but this is by far the cutest!
The background paper is by DCWV and the white panel is Bazzil Swiss Dots. The blooms are from my stash, the pink felt ribbon is by Papermania. I glittered the bird & the white circle with glamour dust. I added some tiny Papermania gems to the petals of the large blue flower that the bird sits on.

Thinking of you!


I found this papd of 6X6 papers from K & Co after a desperate hunt! I knew I had them but could I find them ?! I'm telling you, I have WAAAAY too much stash and can't find anything when I want it! Does that ever happen to you?
The colours on this paper are very muted lilacs, pale lime green and aqua. I chose aqua as the dominant colour and added a splash of lime green with the ribbon & blooms. Cart used:
Sentiment & scalloped oval frame- Wild card
Thanks for visiting!

Call Me!

These cards both have the same image & sentiment but very different looks. The tent topper card is made with Pink Petticoat papers and the pastel card with papers from K & Co.

I made the little pin in the green bow from from jewellery wires & beads. The flowers are Prima from my stash & the gems are Papermania

Boozy Birthday!


This card is for the son of some friends of ours. He's 19 on 11th Feb. The images & background papers are downloads from Madaboutcards.com. I printed out the images on photo paper and matted & layered them. I chose a piece of contrasting paper (DCWV self-adhesive paper) and layered everything up. The blue alphabet bubbles spell 'RUBIN'. I added an appropriate sentiment and it was done.

Celebrate!

When I saw this paper I thought WOW! It's from a pack by Dovecraft called Kitten Heels. It has lovely drawings of ladies (& a couple of fellas!) and matching backing papers. The actual paper was too big (the image takes up a whole 6x6 piece) so I reduced it by 25% on the photocopier & it fit just right! I'd also bought this paper by Sandylion called Floral Delight & the colours complimented each other to a tee! I matted & layered the image on green(yes green! The man's cummerbund is green)) orange & brown card. I then cut a piece of contrasting paper and scalloped it with a Fiskars punch and layered it over orange. A piece of green satin ribbon & a bow, lime green gems, a sentiment and a layered flower complete the picture.

Anniversary wishes


This is the card that I made for my DH for our Anniversary last week. I used papers that I bought from the States again. I used 3 panels of different papers, some punched hearts, a button,brads and Safmat. The verse on the front & the sentiment were printed onto Safmat and applied to the panel & tag. A little paper piercing around the centre panel finish it off.
