Call me!....

How delish is this phone?!!!! In the booklet it's quite masculine looking and quite plain so I decided to pretty it up a bit. I cut the phone twicw- once in mirri and again in glittered paper. I cut the appropriate pieces from the paper phone & adhered it onto the mirri base. I added some detail with a dressmaker's wheel and a large green pearl to the centre of the dial. I adhered the phone to a frame cut from pink card and patterned paper. I made an easel card (I can't make enough of these!) and used papers from Deena's Penny Lane and green cardstock. I punched both edges of cardstock strips (this takes patience!) to make the stop and the trim for the top panel. I added ribbon and layered flowers, some pearls & loads of glitter glue to finish,

Fly#2

Here's another version of the butterfly 'fly' card that I posted yesterday. I've seen cards similar to this but just thought that I'd have a go 'cos I really like the butterfly cut. The layout is simple- just a matted white panel of embossed cardstock (Doodlebug I think) with a punched border top & bottom trimmed with a sliver of patterned cardstock. I then cut the butterflies from 5 different papers from the Deena's Penny Lane stack. I arranged them in rows leaving a blank space- the space could be anywhere in the arrangement- and adhered them with glue leaving the wings free. I cut 'Fly' from pink glittercard and adhered it flat. I made a similar mat for the inside & cut the sentiment from plain pink card.

Fly...Live the dream

I think that this card would be ideal to give to a graduate, someone off on gap-year travels or even for a fab new job! I used paper from Deena's Penny Lane from MME (54 glittered sheets-£12.99 from The Range, Southampton..it's not in Gosport's Range yet) I used 3 designs and used aqua card for matting. The layout is simple, just 3 panels. I cut the butterfly from pink glittered paper for the underneath wings and aqua glittercard for the top wings. I added clear gems to the body and wing tips of the butterfly. I cut 'Fly' from pink glittercard and adhered it flat to the space beneath the butterfly. I finished the card with a layered flower and some opaque gems. I decorated the inside of the card with a panel and sentiment cut from pink glittercard.

Key To My Heart.....

The patterns on this card are pretty busy but I think that it works ok! The papers are from Papermania Capsule Collections. I used 3 different patterns and I edged one of them with a border punch. I embossed the white panel and wrapped a piece of sheer ribbon around it. I cut the heart from script paper and added a key cut from silver mirri. I adhered a ribbon bow and a large rose to the top of the key. Key To My Heart was cut from red glittercard with a white glittercard shadow. The sentiment was adhered with foam pads. I finished the white panel with 3 red gems. I decorated the inside with another patterned panel and a sentiment cut, again, from red & white glittercard with the addition of some punched hearts.

Pour vous, mon amour.....

No, I haven't gone all frenchified- that's the sentiment on this card made with my latest aquisition! I used a square card and Papermania paper. I used lots of squares on this card for matting. I embossed the large white square in the middle of the card with a script embossing folder. I cut out the hand using flesh coloured cardstock, pink paper and white textured card for the envelope. I added some detail with a dressmaker's wheel, and a heart punched from glittercard. I also a ring made with a sliver of gold mirri. I embossed a 2nd smaller square and adhered the 'pour vous' sentiment (cut from glittercard) along with a satin bow, large rose from Wild Orchid Crafts and another punched heart. I cut 2 more envelopes for the inside cut at different sizes, hand shadowed them and added more punched hearts. I cut the sentiment from pink glittercard and adhered it at an angle across the envelopes.

You make my heart sing....

Here's another little bird in a gilded cage! The cage is different from my last birdy card (there are 3 to choose from on the cart), but I used the same papers with the addition of a splash of green. I used a border punch on the striped paper. I cut the cage from silver mirri, the bird from yellow glitter card and the sentiment from pink glittercard. I added some sheer ribbon, a layered flower and some gems to finish. I added a panel inside the card with Love You on it.

Shop 'til you drop.....

I just lurv these shoes! You can make so many different styles by changing papers or by embossing which I have done here. I cut the shoes from pink & blue mirri card, then embossed the pink uppers with a crocodile skin effect embossing folder. I added a tiny punched flower and gem ...Jimmy Choo eat your heart out! I used paper from yonks ago by Dovecraft, covering the front of the card, then added an embossed panel on a blue mat. I edged the blue mat with an MS punch. I added ribbon and a handbag charm then adhered the panel to the card front with foam tape. I cut a smaller mat onto which I adhered the shoes. I added a layered flower, some gems and the 'shop til you drop' sentiment cut from glittercard. I made another mat for inside the card and added the 'it's you day' sentiment which I glittered with glitterglue.
