Beauty


Hi,
The card l have chose to publish today is.....
 
An A5 portrait white base card, and l came across this topper when doing some sorting out in my craft room, think we all do this from time to time, and find loads of "stuff" that has got pushed to one side. Anyway working around this l made the two pieces of backgrounds using InkyDoodles stamps
this again was the first time on using them, but intend to more. Also made the two ribbons, just in
view, added the Especially for You text cut from my dies, and once again finished off with some card
candy.
 Many thanks for visiting my blog, any comments you have would be welcome.

Lighthouse


Hi there everyone,
My card for today is......
For a change  l chose the colour green, which l don't very often work with as the main colour,
The base two matts were two toning greens, one dark and the other a lighter shade in the
pearlescent card. The topper was a decoupage that l found in my stash box of ready made up
toppers, l intend to use them more often it was quite a change from stamping etc. The square
was yet another piece of paper from my stash l thought it was quite nice to give the topper a
lift. I then stamped the text in green and embossed with clear powder onto some white card
and layered onto the dark green, finishing off with a couple of card candy.
Thank you for visiting my blog any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Pansies

This card today is yet another for my friends blog challenge at My card creations and is made from a digi-stamp. This is a 6 x 6 white card, thought it was time l had a change, and l chose the two colours to reflect the colours used within the stamp image. The plain purple was trimmed along the right hand side with a small scallop and the yellow swirl was put through my Ebosser with a patchwork design embossing folder, then just tinted a little with Squeezed Lemonade distressed ink. I printed out three of the pansy designs, coloured them and then cut out to make them into decoupage, cutting the base one with one of my dies, also using a smaller die of the same design for the text message. 1 card candy in each of the right hand side corners to finish off.

FrouFrou

 
My card for today is a change from portrait, but is still an A5 white card.
 
For this one l chose to use my Serif programme and the Froufrou design from Crafters Companion, l planned my card, changed colour, and then separated the pieces to be able to make my card as normal. The flowers l copied and pasted so to be able to decoupage them, with brads for the centres, the topper was placed on top of a lacey matt that l cut from one of my many dies.
I hope you have enjoyed visiting my blog and any comments would be welcome, Thank You.

Lauren's Birthday

 
Now this card is rather bright, but l made it for my niece and she is a very bright and breezy teenager, so thought it would be quite appropriate for her.
 
Once again l started with a A5 white portrait card which l inked the edges with Scattered Straw distressed ink. The base matt was some paper l found within my stash, this was also inked with the same colour. Also found in my stash l found this piece of corrugated card and was just the colour l needed too, how lucky was that. The stamp is l believe one of Dimensions and was coloured with my Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs, then cut out using one of my dies, also the text message. Once again l used my card candy to complete the card.

Teenager

Hi,
My card for today is made using a Digi-stamp, as this was for one of my samples for my friends blog challenge namely My craft creations
The main card is  A5 portrait white and l found the two pieces of paper for the main matt in my stash,
which l embossed in each corner with one of my embossing folders, then cut from corner to corner.
The two digi-stamps were coloured using both my Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs, these were then cut out using my dies, one with the out of the box method and the other l just cut just above her knees, inked around the edges with Faded Jeans distressed ink.  Finished off by placing two sets of three blue candy.
 
I  do hope have enjoyed visiting my blog and any comments you have would be appreciated, Thank You.

Paintbox poppets

Today I am posting a stepper card. I printed out the image in the card companions section from Crafters companion paintbox poppets cd. All the elements are on one page so everything co ordinates. The stepper card I made using my hougie board, the die shape is the chantilly lace die'sire die. The border is crafters companion die'sire border number 5. Before layering everything on my card I inked the edges of both the die and border with Tim Holtz worn listick distress ink. Then placed all the other elements onto the card.
