Beach Babe!

I bought this beautiful frangipane flower along with many others from Calico Crafts. They come in many summery colours and are great on a more exotic card. I thought that it would suit a beach/summer themed card, and I have had this paper for while so I decided to put them all together & this is the result! I used 2 designs of paper & layered them as you can see. I cut a scalloped circle frame from spotted paper & added a small ring of the word paper around the aperture. I decorated the frame with the frangipane flower & a beach ball cut from the patterned paper. Some spotty ribbon & a spotty fabric brad adorn the flower. I cut the Beach Babe sentiment, stuck it into the aperture & glittered it.

Hope you are having a great day enjoying the glorious sunshine today, and thanks for stopping by!

I Miss You

Firstly-sorry about the awful photie for the inside of this card! This card is very simple. Just 2 panels of contrasting paper matted & layered ,then adhered to the front of the card. Ribbon is adhered across both panels. A layered flower with a Laura Ashley fabric brad in the centre, and some bling adorn the ribbons. A simple panel of cream cardstock holds the sentiment.

Add another candle!

This green paper is soooo pretty with little pink parcels on it and I couldn't resist using it! I also used some pink grid paper with little coloured dots as a contrast. I cut out a frame,glittered it and blinged it up. I added scrumptious bright green polka dot ribbon, a polka dot layered flower and this gorg cake complete with candles! Deep breath-now blow!!!!

Tickle my fancy!

Woah there Neddy!!! Don't you just love the phrase 'tickle my fancy' ? It's open to so much interpretation doncha think??!!! I've had these feathers for a while & decided to use them on a card with this naughty little sentiment on! I covered the front of a card with pink patterned paper & added a panel of another design. I cut out the fillagree heart and another heart from script paper. I added the fillagree heart to the solid heart with slivers of foam pads. I added a feather, a paper rose & ribbon bow. That lace across the bottom & top of the panel is self adhesive by Siesta Craft (200cms of 4 different designs- 800cms in total!) I cut out the sentiment in plain pink card & dk.pink glitter paper.

Birthday Girl

Here's another card made with the same layout as yesterday's card. I cut the Birthday Girl plaque in green card and then the pink frame and layered them up. The pink frame is glittered. I added some bling to the top right hand corner. A ribbon and layered flower with a glazed brad at the centre decorate the front. I added a sentiment & decoration inside.

Butterfly Kisses

Happy Bank Holiday everyone! Now, I'm not overly fond of butterflies as an embellishment on a card but when I saw this paper from the DCWV Spring Stack, it was so brightly coloured that I thought I'd have a go with it! I used this very simple layout that I've used before using 2 designs of paper matted & layered on top of a panel of Doodlebug embossed paper. I cut & glittered a scalloped oval frame and added a layered flower with ribbon bow and a Papermania velvet brad in the middle. I wanted to add something else to the frame so I cut out 2 butterflies from scrap patterned paper, creased them down the middle & arranged them either side of the flower. I added 3 gems to the top right-hand corner of the white panel and some glitter to the edge of the butterflies wings. I added a sentiment & decorative strip to the inside.

And now for something completely different!

Well, for me anyway! I don't think that I have but a 3D project on my blog as yet so it's a first! Lauren designed this little bag over on her blog (she's made tons and they are ALL gorgeous!) but me being me decided to try & copy it myself rather than download a template. So armed with a picture, some paper & a pencil I set to work. It took a couple of tries but I did it and this is the end result! A decent copy I think!

Thanks, Lauren ,for the inspiration!
