50 and Fabulous!

Here is a card I have made for my aunt. I have used Maya Road Philadelphia chipboard numbers and coloured them with a Copic marker and added Clear Bazzill Jewels to them; these have then been added to circle layers cut using Nestabilities dies - the white layer is 3d foamed from the scallop layer and added to base with DST. The base is a sheet of DB Fairy Dust CS which has been run through my Cuttlebug using the Seeing Spots embossing folder and layered with DB Lilac CS. The greeting has been printed (from my PC) on to sparkly vellum and wrapped around the layers with Wild Pansy Bazzill Jewels added. The whole lot has been added to a white CWC Elegant card blank.

For the inside I have layered up more cardstock and vellum and stamped the PTI (Birthday Bash Sentiments) greeting onto a white Nestabilities circle.

It seems that spring has really sprung now, what lovely weather we have had today so far. I hope everyone is having a nice day whatever you are up to!

In the Cookies Of Life ...

Woohoo! Release day is here! For my last sneak peek I am showing you another sample made using the Just Desserts set. For my sample I have made a cookie holder following a Lauren Meader My Timeless Template. I have made the holder out of SU! Chocolate Chip CS, rounded the corners with a punch and punched a circle out as the handle. Elzybells girl stamped, coloured in with Copics, cut out and mounted to the front of the holder with 3D foam pads, isn't she cute?! I have decorated the other side using Maya Road velvet and sheer blooms. Velvet flowers added with gems stones and the sheer bloom added with MM button and linen thread. To hold the holder together I have added Chocolate Chip ribbon and off white organza ribbon by Ribbon Oasis.

For the inside I have made a pouch for my cookie using Whisper White CS and a strip of Chocolate Chip. A MR velvet flower and Prima flower added to the strip with a button and linen thread. Message stamped to the side. I have popped my cookie in a PTI glassine bag and added to the pouch. I think this is a very cute idea to give to friend who may be a bit down and who doesn't like cookies?! I hope you have enjoyed seeing my sneak peeks as well as all the other DT members, so what are you waiting for? go buy!!

Happy Birthday Sue!

This is the card I made for Sue at Slumber Cards who's Birthday it is today. Happy Birthday Sue, I hope you are having a lovely day! I have stamped the Squeaky Baker stamp with Stazon and then coloured him in with Coloursoft pencils and Sansodor adding glitter again with my Spica pen. I have then mounted him to Gumdrop CS and attached to base with DST. The base has simply been made by layering Lilac CS on to a white card blank. I have added Maya Road velvet flowers to the corner of the image with glitter brads and 3 gem stones to the top right corner. The HB greeting is a Pebbles Inc rub on and I have added her name with Doodlebug alpha rub-ons. I hope she liked it!

Little Missy

This image folder/wallet card has been sent to a friend. She will probably see this before she gets it but I actually forgot to add in a note that it was from me anyway, I wonder if she would have guessed?! I have used my new stamp from High Hopes which I bought from Tracy at Dies to Die for. I have stamped her out and coloured her with Coloursoft pencils and Sansodor. She has been cut out with corners rounded and mounted to pink CS, this has then been added to base with DST. 2 Maya Road velvet flowers have been added with brads. I have then punched a whole in the side of the folder and secured with ribbon.

Paisley Thank You

This card has been made for Ruth to say thank you for the loavely card and pressies she gave me for Christmas. I saw a card like this is the latest issue of beautiful Cards magazine and thought of her! I have used my Doodlebug stash that I got from The Glitter Pot. I have added the paisley paper to the top of the card blank and mounted a strip of white CS followed by pink CS to the bottom. I have cut out a paisley shape using white and pink CS cutting the pink oyut with decorative scissors. This has been added with 3D foam pads and a pink flower followed by a velvet brown flower and gem stone. the wording is done with brown rub-ons.

With Gratitude

This card was made to say a big thank you to Sue, who sent me some lovely stamped images last week. I used my Nestabilities dies again for the sentiment panel which was mounted using 3D foam pads. Maya Road flower has been coloured using the same chalk ink as the sentiment was stamped. This was then attached with a Prima Flower and large brad. This design was inspired by a lovely card by Nichole Heady, unfortunately it didn't come out as planned but I am happy to have found out that this is Sue's favourite colour :0) Sorry the photo is so dark but I didn't get the card finished until late.
