Roll With It!.....

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend-now it's back to the grindstone eh?!
Today's card is a square version of Friday's. It's also a little more 'girlified' with pink skates and VERY floral paper which was from a magazine freebie. The boots were cut from two shades of pink cardstock with white for the laces and grey for the wheels/base. I added a couple of trimmed silver Card Candy circles for the wheel centres. A punched, ribbon-trimmed border holds the 'Roll With It' sentiment on a scalloped circle.The border acts as the stop for the top portion of the card. Another scalloped circle, embellished with a pink daisy was adhered to the top of the card next to the skates. A scattering of Card Candy completes the card.

Go Girl.....

First of all I'd like to thank Chrissie & Lynne from Simply Less Is More Challenge blog for their kind comments on yesterday's card. I entered it into their latest challenge but I can see that it was TOTALLY unsuitable! The only criteria that it filled was that it was pastel coloured! Oh well 'Must Do Better Heather!' Maybe next time!
Onto today's card....
A circular easel (quel surprise!)this time for a teenager perhaps? I used papers from First Edition Love Letters 8x8 stack. I cut a pair of fab roller skate boots from white/grey cardstock, with pink laces and adhered them to the top of the card with foam pads. Both sentiments were cut from burgundy cardstock shadowed with white, then adhered with foam pads. A large burgundy pearl was adhered to the base of the card to create a stop. A layered bloom and some glitter completes the card.

Unique......

I hope that ypu aren't getting bored of these circular easels because I've still got a few left to show you yet!
I really like the colour pallette of this one, peachy pink & soft mint green-Yummy! I used Dovecraft Pampered Pets papers for this card. Don't let the name of these papers put you off buying them-they are lovely soft floral prints with not a kitty or a dog in sight! They suit vintage cards really well, and I went with that theme for this card.
The base is, of course, a circular twisted easel. I used two different colourways for the top & bottom portions of the card (the polka dot paper on the base of the card is by Craft Creations).A punched border with ribbon trim was adhered across the top portion of the card, and a cameo cut from green pearlised cardstock (embossed after cutting) shadowed with white cardstock was adhered over it with foam pads.
The sentiment on the base was cut from more pearlised cardstock shadowed with white, then adhered to the base with foam pads. I added 'you are' with Heidi rub-ons above the 'unique' sentiment, and a pearl heart to create the stop. A couple of WOC/Prima floral arrangements complete the card.

The perfect pair......

It's a romantic card for you today.
A circular twisted easel is the base and papers are Making Memories 'Je T'aime'. A punched, ribbon-trimmed border with layered bloom was added to the top portion of the card with foam tape.Both the canoodling couple (embossed after cutting with a Divine Swirls folder)and the sentiments were cut from Gemstones cardstock shadowed with Vanilla cardstock. The 'You & Me'sentiment was adhered to a scalloped circle then all elements were adhered to the card with foam pads. The 'Perfect Pair' sentiment becomes the stop for the top portion of the card. A small floral arrangement to the base portion of the card, some punched hearts above the couple and a smattering of pearls completes the card.

Thinking Of You.......

Another circular twisted easel for you today (I've got a few more!)and this one is really feminine! Change the sentiment and it'd make a lovely Mother's Day card.Papers are from Papermania.
I cut this lovely hand image from flesh coloured card, and added some crocheted lace trim to the wrist to look like a frilly cuff. I added a teeny ribbon bow, a gem to the finger,and some 'nail polish' with marker pen & irridescent medium (for a pearlised look!)The completed hand was adhered over a ribbon trimmed punched border.I added a daisy with silicone glue.The envelope was cut twice, and I cut off the triangular bit from one and trimmed it with scalloped scissors. It was then embossed with a teeny hearts embossing folder and adhered to the envelope with foam pads.'Thinking of you' was cut from pink glittercard and shadowed with green cardstock. The sentiment was adhered with foam pads. A heart shaped pearl and a smattering of smaller pearls completes the card.

New shape twisted easel.....

I really like twisted easels, and I like circular cards too. So I combined them both to create a circular twisted easel card. It took a couple of aborted tries before getting the angle right but I got there in the end! This was my first effort and I have to say that I'm really pleased with it. I dug out a Disney cart for this one ( I don't use 'em very often because they're so flamin' fiddly!)and went with a Cinderella image. I used Dovecraft 'Celebrations' papers and a circular card cut at 6". I added a punched border to the top section trimmed with ribbon, a bow and a pink daisy. Cinders was cut from pink cardstock (not blue as she is in the booklet) I changed the colour of her gloves to white,and I drew in the eyes with a marker as the pieces were minute! 'Happy Birthday' was cut from pink glittercard, shadowed with white cardstock cut by hand, then adhered to the card with foam pads. 'Pretty Princess' was cut from pink glittercard, shadowed with white then adhered to the card base, also with foam pads. A glittery heart was adhered to the card base with double height foam pads to act as a stop. A smattering of punched hearts completes the card.

Hugs And Kisses.....

Here's a little miss to make your day brighter! I love these little icons- they make you smile with their cheeky grins don't they? This little one has an added bonus in that she wibbles! The layout is very simple, on a twisted easel using papers from Dovecraft Celebrations 12 x 12 pack. The little girl was cut from blue glittercard with a white shadow. I hand cut a flower by tracing around the base cut, and then adhered it with silicone glue to the blue flower, and I adding a spotty brad to the centre. The completed icon was adhered to the card front with a Papermania spring. Three flowers with Card Candy centres were added as embellishment. The base of the card was decorated with a scalloped panel over a punched border, trimmed with ribbon and a bow. The sentiment was cut from glittercard and adhered to a scalloped square, which was adhered to the card with foam pads. A smattering of teeny Card Candy (punched from original card candy with the large hole of the Cropodile, then re-shaped)and a daisy on the dress completes the card.
