Vintage Christmas

Isn't this image just gorgeous! I downloaded it from Google images (just typed in vintage christmas images) then I blinged it up with a Xyron machine, some Glamour Dust (just LOVE that stuff!) & some red Stickles on the berries on her headress. I used a gatefold card, and papers from Papermania matted onto gold card. I matted the image onto red card and then added it to a scalloped frame trimmed with gold ribbon on the diagonal and a small poinsetta. Gold ribbon and red gems were added to the panels on the front of the card and a shaped panel and sentiment added to the inside.

Happl;y Ever After

Yeaaay! Managed to squeeze a card in today! This perty little coach is ideal for a wedding card doncha think? I cut it from silver mirri & pink glitter card then added a few clear gems for extra bling. I cut the' happily ever after' and shadowed it with silver mirri. The curtains are spotted, glittered vellum from Papermania. The card stock is Gemstones again, the white portion was embossed with the Cuttlebug Rose embossing folder. I added sheer pink ribbon, hearts left over from the punched heart border, a paper rose and some leaves. I decorated the inside with a punched heart border & a sentiment.

Happy 16th!

This card was made for the girlfriend of the recipient of the card on the previous post....sorry again for the quality of the photo! I used a square tent fold card (I don't make many square cards...rarely in fact...but I'm quite liking them...they are very easy to balance) Again I used Gemstone cardstock for the matting and double sided paper (floral one side-pink swirly the other) I used a Fiskard border punch for the edgings, and added my fave 'girl on a scooter' cut from green glitter paper. A layered flower, ribbon & bow, punched hearts & '16' along with a sentiment finish the card.

!7th Birthday

Happy weekend everyone! First off...sorry about the photos.. they are slightly out of focus...having probs with the camera. This card is for a friend of no.2 son. He's going to the party tonight and needed a card so here it is. I used paper from DCWV Rock Star pack and Papermania Gemstones cardstock. I embossed a piece of blue Gemstones c/s with the music cuttlebug embossing folder and adhered it to the card over the Rockstar paper. I added a guitar which was part embossed with a Fiskars texture plate and gold stars cut from embossed mirri card (stars embossing folder) I added a '17', and some blue pearls to the centre of the stars. I decorated the inside with a sentiment & more gold stars.

Peace on Earth

First off...apologies for the photo- but white & silver are hard to capture! This card looks soooo much better IRL (click on the picture for a better view) The card is tent fold with the bottom 2 corners rounded. I cut a piece of white cardstock to fit the front & then cuttlebugged it. It was then matted onto silver mirri. A piece of mirri edged with a MS punch was adhered to the bottom of the panel and covered with silver ribbon, a bow and paper rose. This was then adhered to the panel. The whole panel was adhered to the card with foam tape. A white embossed circle, matted onto a silver scalloped circle and bearing a white dove was placed over the ribbon. The dove holds a branch in it's beak. I finished the card with the sentiment and stars punched from silver mirri and embellished with clear gems. The inside was decorated with more embossed card, stars and the remaining part of the sentiment.

Santa Claus

Here's a rarity for me... a card with a ready-made embellie on it. I just couldn't find a Santa on ANY cart that would fit in the circle & look right. So I used a lovely Santa from a pack that I got from the Range (can't remember the brand...sorry!) I used papers from DCWV and some wide tartan ribbon. I mounted the santa onto an embossed circle on a scalloped shadow. I cut the 'Santa Claus' wording from red mirri and adhered it under the image. I added a poinsetta to the bow & 'Seasons Greetings' inside the card.
