3 today!


I rarely use ready made embellies but I picked this little fella up from The PaperMill shop. I was from a set of little jungle creatures and it just happened to match the DP perfectly. This paper came from A.C. Moore's and is double sided. I used 3 designs for this card-a crayon scribble, a stripe and a polka dot. I layered up 2 panels on dark aqua Bazzil and cut out a circle with a scallop 'shadow', a large '3' in paper and 'today' from c/s.
The '3' and scalloped circle are raised on foam pads and the 'today' is flat. The white circle has been pierced around the edge with a paper piercer. I then glittered it to finish. You can of course change the colours,embellies and number to make a card for just about any occasion for both adults & kiddies. Change the scalloped circle for a square for a man's card or just make it a plain shadowed circle. You can then add anything you loke to the circle- a beer bottle,car, football.....anything you like! Make it your own!
Carts used-
Scalloped circle- Graphically Speaking
White circle- George & Basic Shapes
'3' & 'today'- Don Juan (supplied with the Create)
Thanks for taking the time to look!

Beautiful Bauble


I made this card using the new Christmas/Noel Solutions cart. There are some beautiful cuts on this cart , some fillagree (angels & trees) and some that can be used as silhouettes. This bauble look much better IRL but you know how hard it is to photograph glitter and Mirri card!
The card in itself is very simple but looks great- you can change the colour of the bauble to match your DP. The bauble was cut from silver mirri card with a blackout bauble in glitter paper from Crafttime. They were then layered up gemstones added and a little silver bow at the top of the bauble. A panel of 2 designs of Papermania paper was layer onto silver mirri, a silver ribbon and bow added over the join and then stuck to the front of a side fold card. Another panel of white Bazzil was again layered with mirri, gems added to the corners and placed over the ribbon slightly to the left of the card front. I didn't add a sentiment because the paper has a sentiment on it already. Hope you like it!
