Happy Anniversary Mum & Dad!

It was my Mum & Dad's 51st wedding anniversary yesterday and this is the card that I made for them. I love this colour combo of teal & chocolate. The papers were from the DCWV Spring Stack & Cathy Curd Collection from Papermania. I covered the front entirely with the DCWV paper and cut a strip from the Papermania paper which I edged with a Martha Stewart punch, and then added a ribbon & bow and some gems. I cut a frame and used it to frame a vintage postcard print that I bought eons ago (sorry, the flash has cut off the top part of the postcard!) I then added the sentiment and a layered flower with a lovely Laura Ashley fabric brad in the middle. I added a metal heart shaped charm to the bottom of the frame. As yet they haven't received the card (bloody Royal Mail!)and I posted it on Friday!!!! But hopefully they'll get it today and my Mum loves my cards and keeps all of them!

Just a note....

It was my Hubby's birthday on Friday and this is the card I made for him from me. I again used an assymetric card, this time cuttting the front much smaller than the back (about 5cms I think!) I covered the front with black paper & a smaller piece of glitter card from DCWV and the inside back was covered with a piece of vellum with musical notes all over it! Would you believe I've had this piece of vellum for yonks & have only just found a use for it & it went perfectly with this card!

I wanted a jazz musician for the front of the card so I downloaded an image from Google and reduced it on the photocopier. I then cut it out with a 1" margin all round. I added d/s tape to the white margin & stuck it to a piece of black card. I then cut out the image. I passed it through the Xyron & added black glitter to it (you can just see the sparkle in the photo) I stuck the glittered image onto a piece of silver mirri card and cut it into a rectangle. I added a contrast piece of patterned paper to the bottom of the mirri card piece and a strip of black ribbon with a music stave & notes on it. I added a treble clef wire embellishment to the ribbon. I then stuck the panel to the front of the card so that it overlapped onto the back. I added musical notes which were glittered with stickles and a sentiment panel adhered at an angle.

Hubby loved it!

Because of You......

I used papers from the DCWV Glitter Spring stack for this card. The sentiment is suitable for many occasions but I'm going to put 'I am who I am' inside. It would make a nice Mother's Day card don't you think?

I added a super-duper sized flower to the centre panel and used a fabric covered brad in the centre of it. I coloured the bottom half of the sentiment with a dark yellow marker and then glittered just the darker part. I added three pink gems to the inside back of the card to finish.

Be Happy!

This card was made with beautiful oriental-look paper from the DVWV Spring Stack. The front was cut narrower than the back and decorated with a punched strip of cardstock adhered to the inside front. A centre panel was pieced with contrasting papers and a punched border strip. A spotty voile ribbon & bow was added to the panel along with a sentiment medallion & layered flower with a blue gem brad as it's centre. The panel was raised on foam tape.

Sweet 16!

Here is a girly card made to the same recipe as the footy card a couple of posts ago! I used papers from the DCWV SWEET GLITTER STACK. Again I cut 3 squares adding them to the left hand side of the card. I added a centre panel of 'liquorice bomb' paper, matted & layered onto pink & spring green c/s. I added a ribbon,layered flower & gem brad. Sweet & 16 were cut, passed through the Xyron X & glittered (the sweet is hard to see but it IS there!) I added green gems around the top right hand corner of the large panel to finish.

You're one of a kind!

Again I used the Spring Glitter Stack from DCWV- there are some seriously delicious papers in this stack!- and the same design of card as yesterday's. The inside of the card is the same paper as the top part of the front panel. I added a green voile ribbon, a layered flower with a bow beneath the cream flower,a large blue gem brad and 3 smaller gem brads. The sentiment was cut & the bottom half darkened with a Tombow blue pen and then the coloured half was glittered. The centre panel was raised with foam tape. Using strips of foam tape on the panel stops it sagging where there is no support.

Bless U!

Here's another card made in the same way as yesterday's (if you're getting bored with these let me know!) I used the DCWV Glitter Spring stack and this time I added a frame. I tried to cut the frame from Doodlebug velvet cardstock but it made one heck of a mess of the cut, so I cut it again from red cardstock then passed it through the Xyron and flocked it with Papermania red flock. The finish is flawless and absolutely gorgeous! The 'blessU' was cut from green cardstock and the U was covered with glue and glittered. I added a red velvet bow and a layered flower with a gem brad at it's centre.
