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

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

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

Friendship

Hi sorry it's been a while i have not been too well,
 This card was inspired by Sue Wilson and Spellbinders .
 I used an 8x8 card blank i also used a pretty pink checked paper cut to 7 1/2x7 1/2 then i cut the second largest spellbinders lable 28 out of white card and inked it with victorian velvet. I cut the large square out of the asian motifs with white card and embossed it then  stamped a sentiment (creative expressions friendship sentiments). I then cut it out using lables 27 the second largest die, inked it with victorian velvet,  also cut two boarders out using white card using asian accents and i cut one venetian motifs. I also inked that with victorian velvet then cut it in half and tucked it behind the lable 28 on the long sides,  then twisted the asian motifs so it looked like a diamond then  added the lable 27. I then added the boarders and some shear ribbon which i coloured with the same ink, added a bow and then added some pink pearl and a little accent from asian accents.
 I really enjoyed making this card i hope you like it too,
 Thank You
