A shower of birthday wishes.....

This is another brolly which is slightly plainer than the other brolly shown in a previous post so it could be used on a man's card too. For this brolly I cut it first in silver mirri then the top was cut on shift from patterned paper, then they were adhered together. I put a little trim around the ferule at the top. The layout for this card is the same as for yesterday's. I added sheer ribbon and a layered flower and a sentiment, inside & out, created with the Papermania mini alphas from the Country Roses Collection. I finished the card by lightly glittering the letters and the spots on the brolly.

Vintage silhouette.....

When I got the Heritage cart I really wanted to use the cameo-style silhouettes,there are about 6 on the cart but I decided to go with this one. I cut the silhouette frame from aqua glittercard and then the cameo itself from pink glittercard. I backed the oval frame with spotted glittered vellum, then adhered the pink cameo over the base silhouette with silicone. I added a pearl necklace made from adhesive pearls and a bow and rose speared with a pearl hatpin from here.
I mounted the completed frame onto a layered panel with punched edged and ribbon trim. I completed the card with large pearl adhesive hearts. The inside of the card(not shown) was designed for Mother's Day but it could be given to any female acquaintance.

Happy Mother's Day!.........

to all the lovely Mums out there..especially mine! Love you Mum! This is the card that I made for the boys to give to their Nanny..there other grandmother lives in Australia and their Mother's Day is later on (June I think!) I used Dovecraft papers from the All Loved Up collection, and a fairly simple layout using 3 different papers. I cut a pretty little umbrella from mirri card & paper and positioned it upside down on a scalloped oval. I then filled the upturned brolly with roses of different sizes. I added a bow. glittercard wording and a layered flower. I added another scalloped oval to the inide of the card and a Happy Mother's Day sentiment.

He is risen!......

Easter cards seem to be all fluffy and eggy so I decided to make a more religious themed one.. that IS what it's all about after all. I used only one piece of patterned paper for this card and mirri...boy I wish it was easier to photograph this stuff!..and this fab book cut. I cut the book 3 times..in grey leatherlook cardstock, silver mirri & then white cardstock. I cut away the relevant pieces and layered them up. I added 'page' detail with a dressmaker's wheel and some peel-offs (shock, horror!). I cut the cross and added a bunch of mini roses and silver ribbon, then mounted it onto a scalloped oval. 'He Is Risen' was cut from silver mirri and adhered flat. A bookmark ribbon was attached and finished with some adhesive pearls and punched daisies with pearl centres were added to the corners. A frame and sentiment was adhered inside the card.

You are my cup of tea.....

The layout for this card was CASEd from here When I saw this little tea time combo (I think that it's actually a coffee pot but what the heck!) I thought of teaming it with 'you are my cup of tea'. I used Papermania Rose Garden papers and little alphas. I cut a scalloped oval and topped it with an embossed, shadowed oval cut with a Colluzle template. I added a teatime combo cut from aqua glittercard and adhered it with foam pads. I added a layered flower and the little alphas (also adhered with foam pads). I cut another scalloped oval for the inside of the card leaving it blank to add your own message.

Wild about you.......

....and I can't say that I'm that wild about this card. I bought the animal print card & ribbon from The Range from the kiddies dept. and thought that I should use it. HOW WRONG WAS I? Just goes to show that occassionally you churn out a dud! 'Nuff said!

You're Brilliant!........

Here's a card using the same layout as yesterday's but this time using Papermania's Persimmon papers. I used 3 different papers and gold mirri. I cut the lamp from gold mirri and patterned paper and added a fringe to the bottom of the shade. I mounted the lamp onto an embossed blue oval and adhered this with foam pads to the top of the card. I added spotted ribbon and gold candy dots. I cut the sentiment from gold mirri and adhered it with foam pads to the stop.

Lamp- Heritage
You're Brilliant-Sentimentals ('you're' was originally 'you're invited' I just cut off the 'invited'
part)
