Congratulations and celebrations....


I made a couple of commission cards a couple of weeks ago for the same customer. I bought a new(old) cartridge from ebay to make the smaller A5 card, for a hairdressers 50th birthday. Extravagant maybe but it was cheap, and I'll get plenty of use out of it. 
The silver anniversary card is A4 in size and made from pearlised white card and silver Mirri, with Cricut-cut tags and names. The corner embellishments are die-cut. I finished the card off with white, sheer ribbon, a sheer flower and silver pearls....

..this card was created with white card stock and purple Mirri card. The numbers and name were cut from purple glitter card shadowed with purple Mirri. The hair drier and curling tongs were cut from purple and gunmetal Mirri. The flexes are ribbon scraps. Happy Birthday was die cut from purple Mirri card. The card was finished with a purple satin bow and heart-shaped gem.

25 tags and names- NurseryRhymes

Be Beautiful.....


Apologies for the long gap in posting. I have no excuses! I made this interlocking gatefold for my most recent workshop.
The card is A5 in size, and the papers are freebies from an old issue of Cardmaking and Papercraft
I stamped a sentiment in the aperture.....
.....and another sentiment inside. 
The fancy corners are die cut, as is the sentiment label, to which I added a stamped sentiment. I added a smattering of iridescent sequins to finish.
Carts used:
Scalloped oval frame and scalloped oval- Elegant Edges
Dress- Formal Occasion
Oval- Opposites Attract
Thanks for visiting and Happy Easter!
