Another Summer Driggs.....

This is another card made with Summer Driggs design papers.

I used two different designs to cover the front of a tentfold card. I then downloaded a picture of a '20's' lady from the internet framed it with a Cricut frame and decorated the whole thing with flowers,ribbon brads and my obligatory glitter!!!

Very simple but very pretty!

Recipe as follows:

Paper- Summer Driggs download

Ribbon from my stash

Flowers- prima

Brads- Papermania

Scalloped Circle- Accent Essentials Cricut cart

Blue circle under image- George and Basic Shapes Cricut cart.

Glitter glue - Glitz

Love is a vine......

Browsing through the many blogs available to see on the internet I came accross Summertime Designs by Summer Driggs. She has wonderful papers to download for FREE!!!!!!.So I downloaded almost everyone of her collections.They are lovely and include papers,some page ploppers(!!!!) and embellishments.They are,of course digital,but can easily be used by cardmakers.Have a look and see what you think!

This card was made with two of her design paper,cut into 6 by 12cms panels and adhered to a matted and layered white panel. Ribbon was wrapped around the two panels and the whole thing adhered with dimensionals onto the white panel. A cricut generated frame hold the sentiment 'Love is a vine that grows in out hearts' This was computer generated onto Safmat.

Paper flowers, and gems complete the picure! The card looks much better in real life than it does in this photo!

I love this card- I hope you like it too!

Fab Funky Hand!!!

Happy Saturday everyone!! I recently discovered the wonderful Anice and Funky Hand. I purchased her Christmas downladables and also her Shabby Saturday download and these cards are made using the Shabby Saturday papers. I have used two to three contrasting papers for each card.A plain white piece of textured cardstock has been matted into coloured cardstock and adhered to a base white tentfold card. Then panels of paper have been adhered onto the white panel-some flat and some with dimensional pads. Ribbon,flowers, computer generated sentiments on Safmat,and gems complete the cards.

Love Birds

I really love these concertina fold cards as they give you a much bigger area to work on!

The Anniversary card was made with the Wedding Solutions cartridge and paper from DCWV Rock Star Stack,black velvet ribbon and black gemstones

Love Birds was again made with the Wedding Solutions cart. paper with little birdies on (sorry,can't remember who it's by) and black swirly voile ribbon. Although you can't see it very well the birds and heart have been glittered with black Stickles glitter. The white panel that the birds are on is embossed paper by Doodlebug

Hope you like them!

Oh,Pretty Baby!!!!

Everyone loves making baby cards,and I'm no exception! I have tons of baby cards to show you but I'll start with these two.

They are both tent-fold,the one on the left being a conventional tent-fold and the one on the right has a concertina panel added to it. The 'New Baby' card is very simple with just a panel of delightful 'Animal Crackers' paper by Making Memories,a piece if ribbon , a layered flower and a simple sentiment cut with the Stone Script Cricut cartridge. Three brads top and bottom and lots of glitter finish it off.

Although it's not very clear the second card says 'baby makes 3' This one was made with the Stretch your Imagination cartridge and paper from Nana's Nursery Boy Collection. Pola dot satin ribbon and green gems finish it off. Who says baby cards have to be pink or blue!!!

Hope you like them! Please leave a comment.
