I continued the circular theme of the paper on this card with the plaque on the front. The paper is from DCWV Spring Stack I cover the front of the card with 2 designs separated with a punched border. I added a satin ribbon & bow then adhered it to the front of the card. I cut a plaque consisting of a scalloped circle & 2 smaller circles, layered them up then added a sentiment & flowers. I also added some candy dots & bling. The sentiment was glittered. I also decorated the inside.

Scalloped circle- Graphically Speaking

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)

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.

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
