This card was made with the Regency Collection by Papermania. I covered the front with one design, then made a panel edged with a punched border with another. I then added a smaller panel, slightly offset, to hold the sentiment. I placed this panel over a wine coloured velvet ribbon & bow. A large flower & 6 candy dots (little paper domes) were used for embellishment. I made a chipboard heart by cutting the heart shape 3 times- 2 in card & 1 in paper- then stuck them all together and sanded the edges to slightly distress them. I adhered the heart with a foam pad and put the rest of the sentiment beneath it. As usual I decorated the inside.Carts used:

Heart-George

Sentiments-Lyrical Letters (Capital font)

I covered the front of the card with 2 papers separated with a punched border in soft blue.

I also decorated the inside.

Happy Birthday pressie!


Isn't this pressie fab?! I cut the pressie out of yellow card and the bow out of dark pink card and ran both of them topside down through the Xyron. I then glittered them with yellow & pink glitter then stuck the bow onto the pressie. I cut a piece of green card,edged it with a piece of blue scalloped card & wrapped polka dot ribbon around the bottom of it and added a flower to the bow. I then adhered the pressie onto the green panel. I cut away half of the front of the card & covered back & front with different but toning papers from DCWV Spring Stack. I edged the front of the card with a scalloped border. I made a white panel to go over the striped paper to hold the sentiment. I cut a '2' and a 'U' from pink & blue card and glittered them in the same way that I did the pressie. I adhered the 2 to the front & the U to the back t0 finish.

Pressie- Lyrical Letters
Sentiment- Lyrical Letters

Happy16th Birthday!

It was our eldest son Naren's birthday last Sunday and this is the card that I made for him. I cut away half of the front of the base card and covered it inside and out with the same paper. I downloaded a line drawing of a set of drums (Naren is a VERY good drummer and has played at school at the Christmas service) from Google images. I coloured it with Gelly Roll Glitter Pens and cut it out. I applied opal dust to the front of the drum & Naren's nickname 'NAZ' with rub-ons . I mounted it onto a large star cut from blue holographic card. I also cut 'SON' & '16'
from the same card. I stuck the embellished star to the front of the card with half of the star hanging over the front and adde the SON & 16 with foam pads. I punched some gold star from mirri card and scattered them about to finish.
Carts used:
Star- George
Lettering- Don Juan

Vintage Grandad


I don't normally use ready made embellies, but when I saw this vintage car at The PaperMill Shop I HAD to buy it! I mounted the car onto blue & red cardstock embellished with brads. I mat & layered a piece of dogstooth paper from DCWV and added a simple sentiment which was shadowed in red.. Less really is more when it comes to guy cards don't you think?!
Cart used:
Sentiments- Stamped

Warmest Wishes On your Birthday



I got this lovely paper from The Range last week. It's called Blueberry Hill from Papermania's Signature range, and there is also another collection called Regency. They are really lush!!
Blueberry Hill has little rosebuds,trellis roses, tartans and paisleys all in shades of pink,yellow & mint. I'll be showing a few cards made with these collections later. I used 2 different designs of paper for this card with a white spotty Bazzill panel on top. The white panel was edged with a Fiskars Border punch. I added three flowers with rosebuds added to the centres, pale pink satin bow & some gems. I added sentiments inside & out. The outside sentiment is glittered.
Carts used:
Warmest Wishes- Wild Card
Inside sentiment- Calligraphy
