Your Special Day


This is another card made with the Papermania Blueberry Hill collection. This time I chose a soft blue & cream colourway. I covered the front of the card with 2 papers separated with a punched border in soft blue. I added a glittered scalloped oval decorated with layered flowers adhered over a blue satin ribbon with bow. I adhered a cream oval behind the scalloped oval on which I put the sentiment. I also decorated the inside.

Happy Birthday pressie!


Isn't this pressie fab?! I cut the pressie out of yellow card and the bow out of dark pink card and ran both of them topside down through the Xyron. I then glittered them with yellow & pink glitter then stuck the bow onto the pressie. I cut a piece of green card,edged it with a piece of blue scalloped card & wrapped polka dot ribbon around the bottom of it and added a flower to the bow. I then adhered the pressie onto the green panel. I cut away half of the front of the card & covered back & front with different but toning papers from DCWV Spring Stack. I edged the front of the card with a scalloped border. I made a white panel to go over the striped paper to hold the sentiment. I cut a '2' and a 'U' from pink & blue card and glittered them in the same way that I did the pressie. I adhered the 2 to the front & the U to the back t0 finish.
Carts used:
Pressie- Lyrical Letters
Sentiment- Lyrical Letters
2 & U- Lyrical Letters (Jumbo font)

Happy16th Birthday!

It was our eldest son Naren's birthday last Sunday and this is the card that I made for him. I cut away half of the front of the base card and covered it inside and out with the same paper. I downloaded a line drawing of a set of drums (Naren is a VERY good drummer and has played at school at the Christmas service) from Google images. I coloured it with Gelly Roll Glitter Pens and cut it out. I applied opal dust to the front of the drum & Naren's nickname 'NAZ' with rub-ons . I mounted it onto a large star cut from blue holographic card. I also cut 'SON' & '16'
from the same card. I stuck the embellished star to the front of the card with half of the star hanging over the front and adde the SON & 16 with foam pads. I punched some gold star from mirri card and scattered them about to finish.
Carts used:
Star- George
Lettering- Don Juan

Vintage Grandad


I don't normally use ready made embellies, but when I saw this vintage car at The PaperMill Shop I HAD to buy it! I mounted the car onto blue & red cardstock embellished with brads. I mat & layered a piece of dogstooth paper from DCWV and added a simple sentiment which was shadowed in red.. Less really is more when it comes to guy cards don't you think?!
Cart used:
Sentiments- Stamped

Warmest Wishes On your Birthday



I got this lovely paper from The Range last week. It's called Blueberry Hill from Papermania's Signature range, and there is also another collection called Regency. They are really lush!!
Blueberry Hill has little rosebuds,trellis roses, tartans and paisleys all in shades of pink,yellow & mint. I'll be showing a few cards made with these collections later. I used 2 different designs of paper for this card with a white spotty Bazzill panel on top. The white panel was edged with a Fiskars Border punch. I added three flowers with rosebuds added to the centres, pale pink satin bow & some gems. I added sentiments inside & out. The outside sentiment is glittered.
Carts used:
Warmest Wishes- Wild Card
Inside sentiment- Calligraphy

Bright & cheerful birthday!


This card is really bright & cheerful thanks to the paper from DCWV Spring Glitter Stack. The layout was borrowed from another blog out there in bloggyland. I cut three panels from the green paper and mounted them onto pink card, trapping a piece of ribbon below the middle panel. The strip across the middle was taken from another paper in the stack and is printed with flowers & little birds. I added a glittered scalloped circle, layered flower, sentiment and a large bird cut from the paper which was mounted onto the scalloped circle with foam pads.
Carts used:
Scalloped circle- Wild Card (frame)
Sentiment- All Mixed Up
Thanks for looking!
