Glittery birthday card – First Posted: Monday, June 07, 2010

Here is a card I made for a family member. I scored my card base with my new Martha Stewart score board, I already know I’m going to love this thing! I knew I wanted to use this gorgeous card from the DCWV spring mat pack, it is a mass of glittery flowers which you can’t quite see in the photo. My sentiment is made up of printing and die cut letters and framed with a die from Joy (cut and emboss dies similar to Spellbinders). I threaded some ribbon through a Spellbinders Lotus border, used their Jumbo scallop border for the bottom edge and finished with some flower shaped buttons.

I’ve been playing again – First Posted: Thursday, May 13, 2010

Hello Hello!

I have been playing again and I’ve made some….well I don’t know what to call them really, I have been trying to decide what they are all day and I’ve gone from sentiment frames to pendants to medallions and back to frames again. Simply put I’ve made some wide patterned circles which could be used as a frame for sentiments, embellishments or images, well anything really and because they are circular they are easy to use with Spellbinder circle dies or punches etc.

I changed the colour of my frame to a pale green to match my card stock, I sized it in Word to 3.25 inches and also typed out a sentiment in the same colour. After printing, I cut my circles using circle dies and layered with a small pendant die cut, 3D Foam Pads for dimension and added some ribbon and mini gems. Lastly I popped this onto a scallop circle card which is made by folding some card and laying a scallop circle die with 4 scallops just overhanging the folded edge and running through my big shot.

thank you scallop

dude, where’s my van? – First Posted: Monday, May 10, 2010

I am taking us into the summer with todays card even if the weather wont. Todays digi is a VW Van complete with the obligatory surf board on top. Although transport is normally thought of as more of a male subject I wanted to style my card in a more femanine way with the colouring and addition of a flower and think that it could work for a teenage girl equally as well.

I roughly drew some pencil lines where I imagined a road and the beach to be behind my image and coloured with prismas then cut out with oval dies, I changed the colour of my sentiment circle using this method and sized it to 2 inches in Word then cut it out using circle dies and a popped a prima flower in the middle and layered both onto aqua card stock and used the aqua sheet from Birds Circles. I added some white twill held in place with 2 square snaps and a circle snap formed the middle of my flower.
