Sweet 16!


Here is a girly card made to the same recipe as the footy card a couple of posts ago! I used papers from the DCWV SWEET GLITTER STACK. Again I cut 3 squares adding them to the left hand side of the card. I added a centre panel of 'liquorice bomb' paper, matted & layered onto pink & spring green c/s. I added a ribbon,layered flower & gem brad. Sweet & 16 were cut, passed through the Xyron X & glittered (the sweet is hard to see but it IS there!) I added green gems around the top right hand corner of the large panel to finish.
Carts used:
Sweet & 16- Don Juan
Squares- George
Hope you like it!

You're one of a kind!


Again I used the Spring Glitter Stack from DCWV- there are some seriously delicious papers in this stack!- and the same design of card as yesterday's. The inside of the card is the same paper as the top part of the front panel. I added a green voile ribbon, a layered flower with a bow beneath the cream flower,a large blue gem brad and 3 smaller gem brads. The sentiment was cut & the bottom half darkened with a Tombow blue pen and then the coloured half was glittered. The centre panel was raised with foam tape. Using strips of foam tape on the panel stops it sagging where there is no support.
Cart used:
Sentiment- Wild Card (RDS needs to be on when cutting these sentiments for your own cards otherwise they are cut in relation to the size of the card on the cart)

Bless U!


Here's another card made in the same way as yesterday's (if you're getting bored with these let me know!) I used the DCWV Glitter Spring stack and this time I added a frame. I tried to cut the frame from Doodlebug velvet cardstock but it made one heck of a mess of the cut, so I cut it again from red cardstock then passed it through the Xyron and flocked it with Papermania red flock. The finish is flawless and absolutely gorgeous! The 'blessU' was cut from green cardstock and the U was covered with glue and glittered. I added a red velvet bow and a layered flower with a gem brad at it's centre.

All you need is LOVE


Here is another card made using the DCWV Spring Glitter Stack. I again cut the front of the card narrower than the back and covered them with two different papers. I added a green satin ribbon & bow, some pink crystals and punched green miniature hearts. The heart was cut from spotty paper & green velvet paper from Doodlebug as was the sentiment on the heart & the card front. I added a panel of white card to the inside of the card for a sentiment to be added.
Carts used:
Heart- Doodlecharms
Sentiment on card front-Don Juan
Love (on heart)-Beyond Birthdays

Score!!!!!


Here's another footy card for you,but it could be easily adapted to suit other contact sports. I used 3 different football themed papers & cut the same 3 panels and centre panel as yesterday's card. I added some football printed twill ribbon, a tag and an embellishment from K & Co (I think!)The little footballs on the 'score' panel & tag were made by putting dome stickers over the footballs on some patterned paper and then cutting them out by hand. The sentiment on the tag is by Papermania. I attached the tag to the ribbon by passing the ribbon on the tag under the other ribbon & fastening with an eyelet ( a bit more 'manly' than a bow!) I added some paper pricking around the top right hand corner of the panel to finish.

Circle tag & shadow- George

Happy Birthday Kate!


It's my niece Kate's birthday today & you've guessed it-she's 17! I made this card in the same way as the 'you did it!' card from yesterday with the same three panels on the left and the large centre panel. I used paper from DCWV All Dressed Up stack, and Bazzill Bling for Kate's name. I added printed ribbon from QVC, a velvet flower layered with a black dotty Prima and a black faceted brad from Papermania. I added black gems around the top right hand corner for added emphasis.
Carts used:
Kate- Calligraphy Collection
17- Don Juan (the seven has a stroke across it which I cut off)
Hope you like it!

You did it!

I was given these papers to make a card for a demo day,and I made this one with left overs! The papers are Glitz and are particularly suitable for male cards. I cut 3 squares and adhered them down the left hand side of the card. I then cut a panel for the front and covered it with 2 designs of paper, then matted it onto red & black cardstock. I added a ribbon, 3 eyelets, a car key and a car. The key was cut 3 times in silver,black & red then cut & pieced together and threaded onto the ribbon. The car was cut from wrapping paper stuck onto a piece of card and cut out. I then cut a suitable sentiment and adhered it to the panel. The panel was then adhered to the front with foam tape. To finish off I added some pricking around the right hand corner of the panel.
Carts used:
Square panels-George
You did It!- Don Juan (there are little starbursts on this but I cut them off!)
Car Key- Going Places
