Especially for You

Hello Friends,

I got a Forever Friends 3D motif of the ballet bear in my craft stash and designed my card around it.  I covered the card with pink embossed paper on the front and inside (the embossed pattern is of layered hearts at random angles).  I cut two deckle ovals from white card and inked around the edge of both with tattered rose distress ink while still in the die.  I attached one to the front of the card and the other inside for the sentiment to be wrote on.  I attached the bear to the front oval and used silver peel offs to frame it as shown.   I cut four corners from the spellbinders Flourish accent in white card and again inked them all while still in the die with the tattered rose distress ink, attached with glue as shown.  I also cut two of the long design from the same set and inked while still in the die with tattered rose.  These were attached to the oval inside the card for added decoration. Sorry there's no picture.

Spirelli

Hello friends,
Some quick baby cards using spirelli, silver metallic thread and various frames and images.
 The top two are for the girls, the first one is with an oval spirelli  template and 15 points have been skipped to create a small circle in the middle.  A narrow silver border frames it and a fancy corner punch used on the bottom corners.  The birds are glued on and the fairy girl is attached with foam pads. 


This one is with a spirelli flower punch and 6 petals have been skipped.  I've used the negative that the frames were in and punched the corners.  The image was attached with foam pads.










The bottom three are for the boys. 
 
10 points have been skipped on this round template and then placed back in the negative of a different coloured card, the corners have been punched and the mini 3D images have been attached with foam pads.








Again using the spirelli flower punch, 5 petals have been skipped to create a larger opening and the images are attached with foam pads.  A narrow silver border finishes the card.



The silver negative from the borders has been used and the corners punched to cover the card front.
15 points have been skipped  to create the pattern and the mini 3D image is attached with foam pads. 
 Hope you like them and thanks for stopping by

From the Three of us

Hello friends,

Today I thought I'd do a cross stitch card.  The pattern is from one of the cross stitch magazines (sorry I can't remember which one but I think it was from last year).  I had already stitched the design previously and just added the sentiment underneth.  I've used a landscape tri fold aperture to frame the stitching and covered the inside back of the card with some light purple embossed paper, I also cut a deckled oval, inked around the edge with milled lavender distress ink while still in the die and glued to the centre of the purple.  To finish I coloured some small gem stones with amethyst promarker and adhered to the top right corner when dry.  Sorry theres no photo of the inside, the card has already been sent.  Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by

Wedding Bells

Hello Friends,

Today is a gate fold card kit by Kameo Cards, the kit includes the card, and both the silver and white deckle edge rectangle mats.

The two papers and the vellum picture are also by Kameo card.  One of the papers matches the vellum picture and the other is a nice patterned paper that compliments the the other.  I cut a wide strip of the patterned and two smaller strips of the bell papers and glued them around the centre of the card, also using silver peel off borders to define them.  Using a self adhesive sheet, I trimmed around the vellum picture and adhered it to the white deckle edge mat, matted to silver using foam pads and then to the card.  I printed a sentiment onto white paper for the insert and finished it with a decorative border punch on alternate corners.  Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by

A bumper kit of Pyramage and Invertage part 4

Hello friends,

I've taken a card from that bumper kit again and removed the picture leaving the border to give me an aperture card. 

I've covered the inside front and back of the card with pink to match the border on the front, I've also used a piece of the inset papers that match the design of the card to mat on the inside back.  I cut a circle using the Heartfelt creations scalloped posy die set in pink and placed in the centre of the aperture,  I cut two of the large Moroccan motifs in white and offset them.  I gave three flowers from the Craftwork cards a bit of a curl on each petal and glued together with a card candi in the middle, this was glued in the middle with a leaf sprig from my stash.  I cut four corners each of pink and white card from the moroccan accents, placed the white on top of the pink and laced together.  I glued these to the top left and bottom right of both the front and inside back of the card.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by

Blue Iris

Hello crafty friends,

This is just a quick card.

The paper and vellum's used are by Kameo cards. I covered the card front with pale blue check paper. I cut a strip of silver patterned vellum with a little wavy edge on both sides and matted on white card (with double sided adhesive sheet) also giving it a wavy edge. I took the vellum Iris panel and  using double sided self adhesive sheet, placed it onto white card, cut around the frame and placed it onto the card front with foam pads for a little bit of dimension. Hope you like it.
Thanks for stopping by.

Bunny Arch

Hello friends,

I really need to practice with this layered scalloped posy die from Heartfelt Creations.

Using a red A6 pearlesent card, I tried to cut the posy half circle at the top of the card (mine turned out a little lopsided).  I matted a piece of cream pearlesent paper which I used a fancy corner punch on, below the fretwork arch leaving a small border.  Using the same paper, I glued it behind the arch and trimmed following the shape, also to the inside back of the card with the corners punched to match the front.  I also glued a piece of red pearlesent paper to the inside front to hide the back of the cream that I'd glued to the arch, again trimming round.  I cut the flowers in the same two pearlesent papers and slightly shaped them on my rubber mat using a medium ball tool.  I cut the vines in two different green pearlesent papers using both vine dies in the decorative Chateau gate set, again from Heartfelt Creations and arranged them up the left side and along the top of the card.  I glued the flowers in place and added yellow liquid pearls to their centres.  I cut round the rabbit from Craftwork cards and used vanilla promarker to take the white edge away around the rabbit and flower and a red promarker to recolour the petals, attached using foam pads after shaping slightly.  I had fun making this card, hope you like it and thanks for stopping by
