another card for Scarlett

this is another card for my grand daughter, Scarlett, who will soon be 5.

I used a decoupage sheet from docrafts, which is really little girly, so very appropriate

I matted and layered onto a peach card blank with a patchwork paper, matted the image onto gold mirri card, set at a jauny angle, then a peach bow under the topper, some lace with punched flowers under that, a few flowers in the opposite corner, and buttons in the other corners

and this is the inside, in co-ordinating paper, and an "S" made from apples.

a cheap wreath made to look pretty

this is a cheap wreath I bought ages ago, so decided it was time to do something with it.

I chose various colours of card from the docrafts pack in one of the goody bags,

then got out my urban stamps, mainly the script and the music ones [I did one for my sister who is musical] and stamped in sepia ink.

I then die cut using various dies and made flowers and flourishes, and cut out the bird

then put brads for the flower centres, tied a bow from ribbon, and attached them all to the wreath.

on your special day

I liked this decoupage image, so cut the trellis with a tonic die from lilac centura pearl card, and placed on a 6 x 6 card blank , with the image in the centre.

then I made some flowers with punches from the french lavender collection from docrafts, and cut some leaves out, and glued in the corners, then put lilac liquid pearls all around the outer edge of the card

The insert is a square of paper cut to size with a notelet for writing on, both from the french lavender collection

a card for my grand daughter

this is for my grand daughter who will be 5 in march, her favourite colour is yellow, hence the base card

the little meow papers were just right for this, so decoupaged it , then again so when she opens it, it is on both sides, then added another image inside 

used a bit of the pink fabric tape and a bow from the docrafts rose collection, and little meow backing papers, and a notelet to write on inside

some projects using docrafts products

the first 4 are made using the bellisima collection

a decoupage topper, and an xcut border punch used on the red paper, white ric rac, and a sentiment, both topper and greeting are mounted onto a spellbinders die cut from holographic silver card

this one is one of the ever popular 'box cards'

also made with a decoupage image , and flowers and leaves either punched or die cut from the matching papers

the label at the back is die cut from the bookplates xcut set, just the right size to write the greeting on

this one is another decoupage card, with a marrianne die cut to back the image, and a spellbinders bow. The lace is from the bellisima set, and the punch used is an xcut border punch

this last one is a spring card, I always think these look good for any occasion

the next 3 are made from the wild rose paper collection

the above card is made using the wild rose collection papers and flowers made from them, one of the beautiful wild rose notelets , with a stamped and decoupaged Gorgus image and a bow from the collection, a panel was cut out from one of the papers, and 2 strips of the fabric tape put on it

then I made an insert to match, leaving blank for any occasion

now for the next one

this one is a favourite of mine, I love exploding boxes, I call this the smiley box, because all the quotes are happy, smiley, and laughter ones.

flowers have been made from the papers, and a bow added to the lid

this is the inside of the box, I made a small pyramid, and covered it with flowers for the centre, and added a butterfly on acetate

some of the quotes

this next one is a wall hanging, the photo does not do it justice, as the background circle looks blue, but is in fact centura pearl white.

I cut various sized circles with the xcut large scallop circle dies from different papers from the collection, and one from pink mirri card, then placed a round notelet from the pack, and cut "Dream" out of an xcut alphabet die from pink and then silver mirri card, the letters were then glued to create a drop shadow effect.
an assortment of butterflies were then die cut and placed around the plaque, a ribbon hanger and a bow added, and finished off with pink liquid pearls around the outer edge.

2 birthday cards

just finished these 2 cards for my 2nd and youngest daughter's birthdays, the calendar below is for my youngest and am doing one for Angela soon.

this is for Kate, she is into peaches and pale greens

die cut loads of flowers

then put the verse on the back

this one below is for Angela, she really loves greens

the happy birthday is die cut from mirri card

I love making flowers

then the verse is on the back again

calender

I have been looking for ages for some of these perpetual calendars, 'cos my daughters all like them, so having found some this is for my youngest 's birthday

have never done the old decopatch thing, so had a try with this

I thought the papers were good for the kitchen diner Kate has, as there are cockerills, chickens, ducks, lambs and spring flowers , am pleased with the result.
