POSH!!....

Here's another take on the 'girly girly' card that I posted a few days ago. This one is suitable for an older relative or girlfriend. I used K & Co paper again and an aqua/pink colour combo with a flash of black. I cut the shoes & bag from black mirri, and aqua & pink glittercard. 'POSH' was cut from pink glittercard with a black shadow. I added aqua pearl swirls, spotty ribbon and a layered flower to finish. The inside was decorated with a matted panel and lippy embellishment.

'POSH', shoes & lippy- Forever Young
Bag- Paisley

Happy Birthday Max......

I made this card for a friend of No2 son. I decided to go down the musical route (all kids like music right?) and hope for the best! I used camouflage paper for the back of the card and musical instrument paper for the front. I made a border from a torn strip of music paper and adhered 'MAX' cut from blue glittercard and silver mirri. I added a guitar cut from DCWV Rock Star stack and happy birthday cut from mirri. I scattered a few punched stars over the front. The inside back was embellished with a '17' medallion, a sentiment panel, guitar and more punched stars.

Girly girl time......

Here's another 3 panel card this time for a girly girl! I used paper from K & Co, five patterns in all! The square panels are 2 1/2" square with a 2 3/4" mat. The long panel is 3" x 7 1/2" long. I added spotted yellow ribbon to the long panel along with a layered flower and 3 pink pearls. I cut 2 icons- a nail polish bottle and sparkly lipstick- from silver & pink mirri card and pink glitter card, assembled them and adhered them into the top & bottom squares with foam pads. I embossed the silver portions of the icons with a Swiss dot folder, and added a tiny glittery flower to each icon. Girl time was cut from pink glittercard/mirri and adhered to the centre square with foam pads. The front was finished with pink pearls on all threee panels. The inside was decorated with a floral mat with white panel and a mirror cut from pink/silver mirri and 3 tiny punched flowers.

You have 24 hours.......

It was No2 son's 17th birthday on Bank Holiday Monday. He's a big fan of Jack Bauer so I thought that I'd have a go at making a '24' themed card. I downloaded a pic of Jack Bauer from Google Images and printed it onto lightweight card, cut it out and then adhered it to some green mirri, cutting it out again leaving a border all round. I matted a piece of camouflage paper onto more green mirri and adhered it to the front of the card. I adhered Jack to the bottom left hand corner with foam pads. I cut out some crosshairs and a grenade from gold/green mirri and computer generated the sentiment. The '24' was created with 9 rectangles cut from gold mirri, and with the aid of a '24' DVD cover for reference, the ends were cut at angles so that the rectangles fit together in the correct way. I then adhered the rectangles with foam pads onto some red mirri and cut around the whole thing. It took me several times to get the cuts right- I used scrap paper first. The completed '24' was then adhered with more foam pads to the front of the card. The inside was covered with more camou paper and crosshairs along with the rest of the sentiment.

Weekend Wedding...

Sorry I've been AWOL.... I was at a wedding in Edinburgh this weekend and I'm featuring a bridal gift and card that I made for the happy couple, Neha & David. We've known Neha since she was knee-high to a grasshopper- her Dad is a medical school colleague of my hubby's- and now she's all grown up and a married lady! The wedding was lovely, a Hindu wedding ceremony in a Scottish country house. I'll post some pics as soon as they are sent to us. Anyway back to the gift. I wanted to give Neha something to keep so I made her this shoe and boxed it. I made both shoe & box from white pearlised card (Becca Fekken has a shoe with a link on her blog-Amazing Paper Grace- in my blog list) then decorated it with lace, white velvet ribbon, pearl sprays and a white camelia. I adhered it to the white tissue paper in the box and sprinkled wedding confetti inside (I added a little bit of glue to each piece of confetti to stop it moving in the box) I then sealed the box and decorated it with peel off border, white ribbon and another flower. The card is a copy of one featured in a previous post. I added the happy couple's names cut from white glittercard and a Safmat computer generated verse. The verse is beautiful..click on the photo for a better view. After I took the photo I added a vellum envelope to the inside of the card front to which we added some money as a gift.

Aunt.....

Here's another 3 panel card for another member of the family..this time, Aunt. I used Papermania Rose Garden papers, glittercard for the icons and a beautiful minty green blown rose from Prima. I used a MS punch for the bottom of the long panel & wrapped some green ribbon around the bottom of it. I used scalloped mats as on yesterday's card and adhered the icons with foam pads so that they overlapped the centre square a little. I decorated the inside with a scalloped rectangle, a die-cut & border 'ribbon' from the Papermania pack.

Oh Baby!....

Here's a couple of cards made in exactly the same way as yesterday's. I used traditional baby colours but you could use any combination of colours really. I substituted the straight edged squares for scalloped and used the centre square for a glitter card sentiment. The cute feet & nappy pins are cut from glittercard. The inside of the card is really simple, just another scalloped square, a punched border and glitter card hearts.
