Rock 'n' Roll Forever

Another one that I could not have achieved without a little help from Yv. x

This is such a simple card, with the toppers mounted on the the fuscia card blank and a ribbon of pale pink background paper on the side as co-ordination.

Brilliant but simple!

Jukebox Jury

I used some printables that a received from a friend for this card.

I mounted them onto black card stock and used some pale yellow backing paper cut into a 'ribbon' for the co-ordination.

Quite a useful card to add to my store cupboard for an emergency, and something that I could not have done without help from my bloggy friend up-country. Thanks Yv x

Ruby Anniversary Card

With a little bit of help form a wonderful bloggy friend - (you know who you are!) I was able to create this Ruby Anniversary card for Sharon and Mike.

I used a cream pearlescent card blank for the background, and red card stock run through the cuttlebug for the top and bottom border.

The image is where my friend came in, as I had nothing appropriate. This was mounted to create a matt, and layered onto the blank.

I typed the sentiment on the PC and chose a font that worked with the look of the card.

Inside I created an insert using a verse from a website that offers copyright free insert wording ideas. The left hand detail was created using some more red card that I put through my Martha Stewart deep edge cutter, and then attaching the the left of the insert.

I was very pleased with the result and, once I gave it to Sharon, I know she liked it too.

Happy Anniversary to you both. x

Ruby Rose

Our friends Sharon and Mike are celebrating their Ruby Wedding Anniversary on 30 May 2010 and so I made cards for them.

This was a download paper I was given, that I fixed to some ruby red textured card, and cut away the archways

I then layered up the Rose using 3d foam pads and added some gloss using my sakura pen.

When I showed it to Sally-Ann and Mike, they said they would like to give it to Sharon and Mike from them, as they had bought a rose called Happy Anniversary for them.

Very appropriate, we thought.

Very Posh Eh!

This is created from a free download paper I was given.

It is layered up with 3d foam pads, and I used a sakura gel pen to add a little sparkle to the hat pin on the lovely ladies head.

Wedding Day

I made this for Alison and Paul who get married on 10th May 2010.

I used a deep purple pearl finish card blank, and placed a strip of lilac mulberry paper that I tore using the water and brush method, for a rough edge effect.

On this I added a piece of pink ribbon across the length of the card, using double sided tape.

I then used a paper from my store in a darker shade of lilac, and layered on this some pale lilac paper that I had added a peel off to, and cut around for a more interesting finish.

I printed some sentiments on my brand new and totally awesome printer (my last one gave up the ghost at the end of January and I've been struggling along without one until this week!).

Once the sentiments were mounted onto silver card stock I positioned them on the card with 3d foam pads.

The finishing touch was to add the lilac gem stones over the body of the card and on the top left of the card next to the peel off.

I printed the insert in the same lilac as I used on the front of the card.

Fingers crossed all goes well for them on Monday.

Good Luck x

Good Luck

Paul's sister starts a new job this week and so this one is for her....

I chose a hammered baby pink card blank, and placed a strip of stars background paper down the centre.

The edges of the stars paper were framed with some heart border peel offs.

I took some butterflies from my store box, and having teased the wings of the large silver butterfly to give it a feeling of 3d movement, I then positioned them inside the starts panel.

The Good Luck wording finished it off.

We hope she likes it.
