Jasmine for Millie

One of the little girlies who live next door had her birthday last Sunday so I made a Disney Princess card for her. I chose Jasmine as she is one of the easiest to put together! Some of the Disney characters are so damn fiddly you lose the will to live when it comes to making them up!
I cut Jasmine from Bazzill cardstock and put her together, adding a gem to her headdress. I placed her on an embossed frame also embellished with gems. I used Papermania paper for the card front and some rainbow paper from The Works for the inside. I added a polka dot ribbon bow & flower, a gold perfume bottle with gem trim & a sentiment in gold mirri. The name was cut from aqua glitter card & applied with foam pads.

Happy Birthday David!

It was my nephew David's 21st last week and this is the card that I made for him. He plays the guitar so I went with that as a theme. I used the 'card-in-a-card' format and used black & silver mirri card and some harlequin style card that I've had forever. I cut the guitar from silver card and the harlequin card and layered them up, adding brads for the control knobs and some peel-offs (aaaargggh!) for the fret board. I added the name & some punched stars from the harlequin card to the front of the card & some star embossed silver card and the 'happy birthday' & 'chill out' sentiments to the inside. I managed to add some musical themed ribbon too!

Peace On Earth

Just a bog-standard card today-no fancy folds/cuts or anything! I used paper from Daisy & Dandelion by Design Objectives. This paper is a pretty cranberry colour and I teamed it with some striped paper & holly design paper. I matted the different layers onto pink cardstock and also cut out a white circle with pink scalloped circle beneath it. I added 'peace' cut from pink mirri card, 'on EARTH' using rub-ons and the usual ribbon & flowers. I added 6 candy dots to the front, and a sentiment to the inside.

Boo!!!

Here's another Halloween card, this time suitable for a boy. I used the same papers as for the Flying Tonight card a couple of posts ago, but added a tombstone which was cuttlebugged to give it a stone texture then distresses & doodled, a ghost with googly eyes and a rather menacing looking spider! I also added a few bats, some black candy dots & 'Boo!' complete with googly eyes.

Dash Away All!!

I found this lurvley paper in a box in the garage with all my old Christmas paper in it,there wasn't much left, just enough to put this little number together. I used contrasting polka dot paper from DCWV for the back of the card (it matched pretty well!). I cut a deer tag from green glitter card and matted it onto embossed mirri card. This was adhered with foam pads onto a white panel on the front of the card. I added sheer ribbon & bow, a Prima Poinsetta with glittered rose centre, leaves and a sentiment inside. I blinged up the tag too.

Pretty Prams

Here's a couple of baby cards for you today. I used a gatefold card and papers from Provocraft. I cut a scalloped frame and added an embossed panel with paper strip & ribbon trim. I cut the pram from glittercard and silver mirri and added glittered brads to the centre of the wheels. The pram was adhered to the panel with foam pads. I added a sentiment & three punched hearts to the inside of the card.

Flying tonight!

I don't DO Halloween especially cards but I loved both this icon & paper so I succumbed! The paper is double sided & I used 2 different sheets of paper. I cut the witch (there are 2 on the cart) from black glittercard & mounted her onto a Cuttlebugged orange circle which in turn was mounted onto a black scalloped circle. I added printed ribbon & a layered flower above it.I adhered a strip of punched paper from the reverse of one of the main sheets, shadowed it with orange cardstock & added some black ric-rac braid to the bottom of the card. I cut a bat from glittercard, added googly eyes & hung it from the bottom of the small card with clear thread. I punched a hole first with a small hole punch. I decorated the inside with more bats & an appropriate sentiment. Whenever I hear this phrase I think of Kenneth Williams in 'Carry On Screaming!' shouting 'frying tonight!' What a hoot!
