LARA........

Remember Rohit and Izzy who married almost two years ago? Well, they had a beautiful baby girl last month and they named her Lara Anais. Of course I had to make a card to go along with the gift that we bought her.
The card base is an 8"x8" scalloped square. I embossed white cardstock with a patchwork design embossing folder, matted it with pink cardstock and adhered it to the card. I added a piece of patterned paper, then topped it with a button embossed square of cardstock matted onto a scalloped square of pink. The beautiful Silver Cross style pram was cut from silver mirri and pink cardstock embellished with pearls, then adhered to a circle of embossed cardstock matted onto a scalloped circle. 'LARA ANAIS' was cut from pink glittercard and adhered flat to the circle above the pram. I added a polka dot, satin ribbon bow and a stamped tag to complete the card.
Carts used:
Scalloped square and circle- Elegant Edges
Plain circle & tag- George & Basic Shapes
Pram- Mother's Day
LARA ANAIS- Suburbia

Love cannot be seen or heard.....

I made this card for my hubby for our anniversary back in January. The backing paper is from the DCWV Once Upon A Time stack which was languishing, unused, in the shed of all places! So I thought that I may as well use it for this card. I used 'centre-point' to cut a heart in the centre of a piece of beige-grey cardstock, then embossed it with an 'Argyle' folder. I then matted the embossed panel onto a piece of gold cardstock, carefully cutting around the heart aperture leaving a small border. I stamped the sentiment onto another piece of patterned paper then adhered it behind the aperture. The completed panel was then adhered to the front of the card with foam tape. Four die-cut (X Cut) corners were added to the card along with 'Husband' cut from more gold cardstock and a stamped 'Happy Anniversary' sentiment.

Heart aperture- George
Husband- Heritage

Classy & Fabulous........

I don't know about you, but I LOVE black and white cards, especially when they have a pop of colour- not too much, just a smidgen. I used various patterned papers and black pearlised cardstock for this 8" square card. I cut items of a lady's wardrobe from various papers then adhered them to white, embossed squares matted onto black scalloped squares- three in all plus a sentiment square. The sentiment was computer generated. All of the elements were adhered with foam pads. I used sheer dotted ribbon, narrow polka dot ribbon, pearls and teeny WOC roses to embellish each of the squares.
Carts used:
Scalloped squares- Elegant Edges
White squares- George
Hat & gloves- Forever Young
Clutch bag- Formal Occasion
