I adore you!


I 'adore' this card! I used the new Home Decor cart for this. I wanted to make a card with the word 'adore' on it & was sure that I had a cart with this word on it but could I find it?! So when this cart came into the shop on Wednesday I snaffled it! It is a huge 8x8 square tent fold. I used papers from the new Pink Petticoat download collection, Old Fashioned Girl. I layered up a love sentiment paper onto black & red cardstock and attached a ribbon bow. I glittered up a red heart brad (just cover it with glue-I used a glue pen- & dip it into glitter. Glue dots works too) I cut out a heart and covered it with Bronte script paper (PP download) and shadowed it with black cardstock. I added another glittered heart brad. The sentiment was cut from red card and shadowed with black. 'Adore' was covered with red Stickles.

Sweet on you!


This card is made with the new Papermania 12x12 pack. It's quite a large square - 8x8. I layered up some love hearts sweety paper with dark pink,cream & brown Bazzil. A ribbon with a bow & heart-shaped brad was added before being adhered to the card base. I cut out a gorgeous cupcake from the new Home Decor Solutions cart ,which has a sugar sprinkle top- you can't see from the photo but it is glittered! After cutting out the top I ran it through the Xyron -pattern side down- then sprinkled it with glamour dust glitter. I cut the cake case from silver mirri and layered it all up onto a brown shadow and added a tiny pink heartshaped brad to the heart shaped hole in the top of the cake. I then cut a sentiment with a brown shadow- the 'sweet' is also glittered- and placed it all around the cupcake.

Love you

When I saw these new Papermania 12x12's I just had to have them. Although they are strictly speaking Valentine papers you could use some of them for other occasions too. I went with pink & brown for this card. It's a tent fold which I covered with plain brown paper. I then scalloped a piece of pink Bazzil with Fiskars border embossing punch and then adhered a strip of heart paper onto it leaving a small border at the top. I wrapped brown satin ribbon around it and then added a bow. The panel was raised on large foam pads. I added a heart made with another design from the pack and some pink & brown card and embellished it with a layered flower & brad. I cut out a sentiment * added three pink heart gems. Very simple but pretty don't you think?

Happy Birthday Daniel!

This is No1 son's friends card.He is a twin-Becky is his sister (card in next post down). Dan has a habit of having a very good time (get my drift?!) so Krishnan (No1 son) thought this card would be ideal! I used some papers downloaded from Madaboutcards, and reproduced an element from one of them to produce this road sign. I used a circle and triangle for which I used the silhouette feature, cut the numbers and letters for the name and printed the sentiment on the computer. It's not clear on the photo but the numbers in the white portion of the triangle read 80%! A black brad in each corner finish it off. The background paper has 18's in red circles all over it. It also comes in 21,40 etc along with some very humourous and quite raunchy road signs!

Becky's Birthday


No.1 son has some very close friends who are twins (brother & sister) It was their birthday on Thursday so this No1 in a set of two.This is Becky's card (well duuh!!!) I used some old Dovecraft paper for the background and some Crafttime glitter paper for the name & number 18. The scalloped edge to the pink card was done with a Fiskars Border Embossing punch. I layered up some velvet flowers (Prima I think) over a satin bow with a brad. The 18 was finished off with some gem flowers,again from Crafttime from The Papermill Shop.
