Anniversary Rings

Although this is a variation on a theme, to the Ruby Wedding card that I made not long ago, I think that it works really well, and gives a lovely finished card.

I gave this one to Sally-Ann and Mike for their Anniversary on Saturday, but I have already received orders from other people for the same or a very similar card.

It's lucky that it's a card that find enjoyable to make, LOL.

Fishing Bear

My friend placed an order for a few cards and this is the outcome of her first brief.

She wanted a card for her Dad.

When I asked what he liked, she said fishing.

Great I thought, I knew I'd seen something on the Men's CD-ROM that I could make work for her.

Inside, I used the deep edge daisy cutter and printer an insert from the disc to finish it off.

It seemed to be a success with my friend, lets just hope her Dad liked it too!

Green Bear

Another little card that I achieved by using the CD-ROM for Men from Popcorn Bear

This looks great in real life, the green pearlescent card stock sets off the colours in the topper beautifully.

Blue Bear

I was lucky enough to get hold of the Crafters Companion, Popcorn Bear Trilogy CD-ROM and used the 'Mens' CD to be able to achieve this simple little pyrimage card.

Although I am still trying to get my head around the correct sizes to use for the inserts I think adding them is a very worthwhile task. It give such a nice finish to the card.

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
