Golden Wedding

Hi, today's card i made for my parents-in-laws  


I started with a blank card, I matted and layered with white and gold card, then i embossed a piece of white card using venetian m-bossing folder by spellbinders, then i cut 2 venetian boarder out of gold mirri card and 2 venetian motifs out of gold mirri card and 2 venetian accents. I stamped my sentiment using versa mark and gold embossing powder. I printed out a picture of my parents-in-law on their wedding day, cut them out using a circle spellbinders added them to the venetian accents and mounted them on the front of the card, Added the boarders and some white organza ribbon added a bow and embelishment. They loved the card and now it's been framed. thank you for stopping by. x

Happy 50th Birthday


Hi this is a card i made for a friend's birthday,

I started with a 8 x 8 square card blank matted and layered some white card added cosmic shimmer black pearls and set them aside so they could dry . Then i pricked around the edge of a 7 x 7 square white card  using a Tim Holtz ruler, I then cut out aperture using label one (second largest one ), then i cut out the largest decorative label one using black card , then cut out the inside using label one dies to make a frame and glued it on to the white card over the aperture so it made a nice framed aperture , then i cut the next size down of label one dies in silver mirri card. I then cut the second largest die from decorative label one in black card. I then stamped my sentiment onto white card and cut it out using label one dies. Then i cut out four Moroccan accents dies and arranged them around the sides of the label one in silver mirri card and glued then in place. Then i matted and layered them all together. I then made a flower using nestabilities blossom five, i cut three of the second largest dies out of a black and white double sided paper, spritz the paper with water then screw them up and use a brad to put them together and then leave to dry ( don't over wet your paper you only need a small amount of water) .  then i cut out two flourishes out of  sliver mirri paper using venetian motifs. then i used a black shear organza ribbon made a bow and used a couple of stick pins (creative expressions ) and an embellishment in the centre of the bow then i put it all together .
I hope you like this card x
thank you
all the best

Mum


Hi, this is a card i made for my Mum's Birthday .

I started with a 8 x 8 card blank, then i embossed some white card using the flora m-bossing folder from spellbinders, I used a topper from Hunkydory for the lady's range ( It was a block buster a few months ago on create and craft ). Then i cut a boarder and a large oval and a smaller oval out of a pale green patterned card stock from Hunkydory. The ovals are Spellbinders floral ovals and the boarder is Spellbinders decorative butterfly/boarder, I then added a white organza shear ribbon bow a couple of stick pins ( creative expressions ) and  an embelishment to finish it off i hope you like it x
Thank you

In Sympathy

Hi, this card is a card nobody likes to make but we all need them at one time or another xxx
I started with a 8x8 card blank, I had a nice grey and cream paper and i wanted like a celtic cross but i didnt have one so i made my own using spellbinder die. I used a cross from shapeabilites crosses two and the second largest splendid circles. I cut them from silver mirri card, I cut a couple of flourishes from venetian motifs and i cut three flower blossoms ( blossoms 1,3 4 ). I matted and layered black card and added some cosmic shimmer pearls around the edge. I let them set and then added my mats and layers using the paper and silver shimmer card, I stamped my sentiment from creative expressions then added the flowers and flourishs.
thank you
