Big Hat Day?......

I went to The Range the other day and they were putting out all the new Do-Crafts stuff. About blummin' time too! This stuff has been advertised in the Creativity mag since before Christmas and I couldn't wait to get my itchy little mitts on it! This is only one collection.. I bought 4 others and there are still more to get. This one is from the Pink Parfait collection. Some of the sheets have these lovely Forever Friends bears on them, so I decided to use them as embellishments. I cut the bear out roughly and adhered it to some thin card. Then I cut it out precisely with some small pointed scissors. I made up an easel card with a large stop, using 3 designs from the pad. I cut a scalloped rectangle and added a smaller rectangle of patterned paper to it. I adhered the bear to this panel with foam pads. I cut out the ' Big Hat Day?' sentiment from dark pink card and adhered it to the top panel. I then added the panel with the bear on it using foam pads. I cut 'celebrate' from the same dark pink card and adhered it over the ribbon on the stop. A bow, layered flower and some gems finish the card.

You & me....forever

Well, we are almost at the end of the 'noughties' and entering a new decade... lets hope it's a VAST improvement on the last one...well the last year at least! I don't know about you but I was soooo glad to put away the Christmas stuff...I'm fed up with wintery themes and so I've jumped forward a couple of months to Valentine's day (or any other romantic occasion that you can think of) I've used some scrumptious paper from MME called Be Loved. As you can see this is an easel card, and I used 3 different papers (these are double-sided by the way). I've made a large stop for this card because I wanted it to hold the 'forever' sentiment. I embossed a piece of pink card with a heart & vine embossing folder which is remarkably like the heart paper! I added a polka dot bow and a couple cut from bronze mirri card. I cut the sentiments from the same card and shadowed them with pink card. A flower, some leaves and punched hearts complete the card.

Boxing Day Birthday Girl!

Pia is the eldest daughter of some very good friends of ours... she's 3 months younger than our No.1 son.. and was 19 on Boxing Day! I have a lot of free papers from mags especially Creative Cardmaking, from which this FAB image and papers came. I use the papers, usually, but not so the images, but I thought this one would be ideal for Pia as it's not too overtly Christmassy...just wintery! I made the card in an easel format and used 2 different paper designs. I adhered the image to thin card then cut it out. It was then mounted onto pink & gold card and adhered to the top portion of the card over a strip of ribbon. I cut a square of patterned paper for the 'stop' and adhered a handbag using foam pads. I cut PIA & Happy Birthday from hot pink glitter card and shadowed each with gold mirri card (the happy birthday shadow was hand cut as the sentiment was already cut in shadow mode) I finished the card with a bow and layered flower and added some glamour dust to the fur trim on the image.

I hope you all had a lovely time over Christmas and thanks for taking time to look in today!
