A New Home?

I got this paper yesterday- it's the Daisy & Dandelion A5 paper collection from Design Objectives and it's very pretty & only £2.99 for 30 SHEETS! How's that for value?!!! I cut a house out of spotty brown paper, layered it over polka dot pink paper and added a frill round the eaves of the roof. I added glittered pink hearts to the roof & the door. I adhered a piece of paper with scalloped edge to the bottom part of the card after wrapping a piece of polka dot ribbon around it. I added a bow & layered flower. I then stuck the house onto the card and added tiny pink glittered hearts above the chimney. The sentiment was cut from patterned paper, The HOME was cut in card first and the paper letters stuck onto it. This was then added with foam pads to add dimension. Three Papermania adhesive pearls were added to finish it off.

House & sentiment- Don Juan

The patter of tiny feet!

I've wanted to make a card from scartch JUST using a standard cartridge for ages just to see how it turned out really- and this was the end result. I'm chuffed with it! It turned out better than I hoped!
I cut out the base card with the little feet on it & then cut out a pair of feet to embellish it with. It was trial and error getting the feet to match the ones on the card but I got there eventually! The card has a lovely scalloped edging on it. I added a 3cm strip on patterned paper to this edge and then trimmed away the excess paper. I punched a hole in each scallop. I cut a frame to go around the aperture and backed the aperture with the same patterned paper. I ran the feet through a Xyron X & covered them in Glamour Dust to make them sparkle. I cut out the sentiment- He's/she's here! and added it along with a bow layered up with a flower. Three little star gems from Papermania finished it off! This card could be used for a birth announcement or just as a general new baby card. The measurements for the card are: Card 7" , feet 3 3/4"
Carts used:
Card base: New Arrival (card2)
feet- New Arrival
sentiment- All mixed up (shadow on)
Frame around aperture- George & Basic Shapes with silhouette on

For you MUM

With Mother's Day coming up soon here's a simple card that will suit the occasion! It's simple- just three papers cut in different widths, layered up and embellished with satin ribbon, a large layered flower and three buttons with brads inserted into the holes. The MUM was glittered.

Get Well

I've had this paper lying around for yonks! There was only a little left-just enough for one more card! I layered up the papers (I think that they are Basic Grey) raising the panel with the sentiment on with foam pads. I added a printed satin ribbon bow, layered flowers and some Papermania adhesive pearls. I then cut out the sentiment and adhered it flat to the raised panel. I then glittered the sentiment & flowers to finish.

Happy Easter!

I don't send Easter cards but I love this little bunny & take any opportunity I can to use him!
I cut the litle bunny, chalked some rosy cheeks and added googly eyes.I also hand cut some ear inners(?!) I layered up some old Easter papers from DCWV Spring stack from last year. I added a scalloped border in yellow Bazzill and put the bunny on a plaque of the same colour with a small piece of contrasting paper. I cut some easter eggs from another backing paper, ran them printed side down through a Xyron X and then added Glamour dust to make them sparkle. A bow layered with a flower & spotty brad were added for extra decoration. I cut out the sentiment, shadowing the EASTER and glittered them with glitter glue after adhering them to the card. The ribbon under the flower is from the Range and is printed with little Easter eggs. Very cute!!

Here's a little cutie for ya! Just right for a little boy who loves cars! I simply layered up some patterned paper, added ribbon with little cars & 'zoom!' on it and a couple of contrasting big brads. I cut out a cute little car (it reminds me of Noddy's car!) 4 times in Black ,silver, red & aqua , then chopped & layered them up. I added Toot Toot & Birthday boy for the sentiment and green brads for the wheel centres.

Play Hard!

Here's one for all of you who find male cards hard. There are some great icons on the Graphically Speaking cart that are suitable for the men in our lives! Although I've turned this into a footy card it could also be relevant for Rugger, Cricket......... I've just used some old & new footy papers and added a couple of football buttons and some great football twill ribbon- not too much 'cos it is for a fella after all!
