Born to dance

This card shows that Christmas carts can be used for other occasions too! Joys Of The Season has some great icons on it including this little dancer. I cut her from flesh coloured card and her dress from pink card. I cut the dress twice and layered it up. I added a pearl head-dress, pearl earring and pearls around her waist. I used a glue pen to draw swirls on the bodice and create ruffles on the dress and then threw glitter on it. I used paper from a K & Co 12 x 12 pad and added a punched paper border. I added a satin ribbon and a flower layered with a bow. I cut out a pair of ballet shoes from the paper and place them beneath the centre of the bow, and added 3 pearls to the ribbon. I cut out the words 'born to DANCE and adhered them to the right hand panel- DANCE is on foam pads and glittered. I think this card would be great for a little girl who loves ballet or for an older girl taking a dancing exam.

Dino-mite day!

This cute little fella is on the Paper Doll cart and I thought he'd be perfect for a little boy's card. I had this cute Dino paper and this little fella would look grrrrrreat with it! I had to flip him to get him to face the way I wanted and then I chalked him (which doesn't show up on the photo!) to add definition. I added a doodle black line around the edge and along the cut lines defining the legs & tail. I used a white gel pen on his feet & gave him a googly eye! I corrugated a piece of brown card with a Fiskars Texture plate as I haven't got a Cuttlebug, and added some great skin textured paper that I got in a pack from The Works. I cut out the word ROAR and the rest of the sentiment. ROAR was doodled in the same way as Dino. The exclamation mark was cut seperately by hand. I added a raffia bow (again from The Works)which I hope isn't too girly! I rounded the top right hand corner of the printed panel & layered it all up. I glittered Dino with Opal Dust which is a fab liquid containing teeny tiny sequins and specks of glitter. You can just about see it in the photo!

Little Stars

Whilst browsing the many fabbo card making blogs out there I came across a card with this sentiment on it. My card is very similar to the original but I've added a few more embellies and changed the shape of the panel that holds the sentiment. I used paper from Nana's Nursery for each of the cards. I cut out the stars and heart, passed them through the Xyron and then sprinkled them with glitter. I fixed the heart to the star with a teeny button brad. I added a scalloped oval with white Bazzil swiss dot plain oval which holds the sentiment, a satin ribbon & bow embellished with a flower & fabric rose. Three gems along the ribbon finish it off.

Scalloped Oval & 'STAR'- StoryBook
