Miss talking to you.....

Wow! No easel card today?!! Yup. just a bog-standard for you today! I got this lovely 'Citrus' stack (like I need more paper!!!) from DCWV. I layered it up onto electric blue cardstock with a large yellow panel at the centre to hold the sentiment. I cut out a mobile phone from silver mirri & glittered paper and added a little 'phone charm made from very fine cord & beads. I cut the sentiment from blue glittercard and adhered it flat to the yellow panel. I added layered flowers & leaves and a spotty ribbon bow to finish. Carts used:

'phone & girlfriend- Paisley
Miss talking to you- Wild Card
Leaves- Accent Essentials
Thanks for stopping by!

Mama....

Here's the card that I promised you yesterday..I hope that you think that it is as pretty as I do! Isn't that the most gorgeous pram?!!! Who has a pram like that these days?! My Mum had a Silver Cross pram for 3 of us (she wore out 4 sets of tyres on it!!) very similar to this one, she sold it, then fell pregnant with my youngest brother! Bummer! (not my brother!..selling the pram! Love you Nick!)
Anyway back to the card.. I cut the pram from silver mirri & pink Bazzil. I cut off the wheels and handle from the pink pram then adhered it to the silver pram. I added detail with a dressmakers wheel, then added silver pearls to the wheels & hood. I also cut a tiny oval and added a gem heart to it to finish off the pram. The papers I used are from Papermania. I cut a square doiley as a mount for the scalloped oval onto which I adhered the pram. Before fixing the panel to the card I threaded pink voile ribbon through 2 punched holes in the oval and fixed it behind the panel. The whole panel was adhered to the card with foam tape.. I cut another scalloped oval for the stop and adhered the sentiment 'Mama' to it. I finished the oval with a bow, and added flowers to the large oval holding the pram. I added pearls to the doiley and ribbons to finish.

Love.....

First of all, let me say that the colours look way out in this photo..it looks like I've mixed blue, lavender, lilac etc. It must be the light because in reality these colous are really pretty together and the main heart image is lilac not blue! As you've probably guessed I have a new cart in my collection (well 3 actually but who's counting?!) I used papers from the new Papermania capsule collections- there are 4 colours- and white and lilac pearlised cardstock for the image. I cut the main image out of lilac cardstock and it's blackout in white which I embossed with a Fiskar's texture plate in the Cuttlebug. I mounted the lilac heart onto the white one with foam pads and adhere it onto a panel of patterned paper. I added pearls, a bow, a pearl heart button (shank removed) and paper roses. I cut a scalloped oval for the stop and adhered the 'Love' cut out to it. I finished the stop with some pearls over the ribbon.

Queen for a day!....

I've had this paper-called Deco Delights by Dovecraft- for ever just waiting for the perfect cart to come along...and it did...so here it is! Aren't the colours pretty? The paper is just a perfect match for this little kitty, and see that kitty on the inside of the card- she's cut from one of the papers! ( I added the little tiara!) The layout is very simple just two panels matted & layered on pink & black, using two different papers. I added ribbon to the top panel which was raised on foam pads. I decorated the bow with a daisy punched from black glittercard and a pink rose. I cut the kitty from black card, passed it through a Xyron and flocked it... I did the same for the pink cushion... I adhered a piece of lime green glitter paper behind the yes and added green gems to the collar, tiara and the tassels on the cushion. I cut 'Queen' & 'Day!' from pink glittercard with a black shadow and the 'for a' from black card to which I added black Stickles. The pink words were raised on foam pads and the other words glued flat. To finish the words I added some more bling.
I cut the interior sentiment from pink card with a black shadow.

Fashion Queen....

Sorry folks! I'll bore you rigid, I think, before I've finished showing off this cart! Believe me, there is lots more on it than the models... I just love 'em & can't stop!
For this card I used an old stack (last years I think) from DCWV and chose this lovely peachy/lemony/pinky paper. I made the usual easel base card and added an embossed panel foam tape mounted onto a contrast paper panel. I adhered this over a punched border. I cut out the model, dressed her in pink & yellow with pink pearl embellishments. I added a layered bow and flower and a sentiment cut from pink glittercard to the embossed panel. I added three large pink pearls under the sentiment. I added a pink glittercard crown to the shaped plaque on the stop along with some more large pink pearls.

Chic.....

I've another 'fashion' card for you today. Fot this card I stuck with a very simple colour pallete- various shades of pink & black. I cut the model & dressed her in a pink/gingham dress & hairband. I embossed white card for the main panels and matted onto pink card. I used a border punch for the edgings and added deep pink ribbon & a layered flower. I cut the words from white card which I embossed AFTER cutting and shadowed them with pink card. I cut the 'chic' plaque from white card with a pink base. To finish I added pink pearls to the front of the dress & across the stop.

Young Love.....

First of all I'd like to thank Enfys over at Going Buggy for her lovely comment on yesterday's post.. Thanks Enfys, you won't regret buying Forever Young.. it's FAB!
I made this one before the Style card of yesterday's post.It's an easel card again in a lovely pink & pale green colourway. I cut the scalloped frame from pale pink cardstock and adhered a piece of green floral paper from Papermania's Honey & Hugs collection. I cut the image from pink glittercard with a pale green shadow. I added ribbon, a bow & layered flower and a gemstone swirl or two. I cut the scalloped oval from white cardstock with a pale green shadow and cut the LOVE sentiment from glittercard. This was adhered to the 'stop' over green ribbon with addition of more gem swirls.
