I added strips of clear acetate to the pieces of card. I added appropriate elements to the acetate. I die cut the DAUGHTER and tag using Sue Wilson dies. I die cut the numbers with Marianne dies and the shape they are added to is cut with a die from The Works. I printed the images that I found on the internet and printed a personalised sentiment.

Fancy edge birthday card


This card will have a personalised sentiment when I have had the details.

I have used a Tonic die to cut the edge of a 8x8in white card. I have cut the flowers from the die in pink card to add to the fancy design.

I have matt and layered the front of the card with pink and then white card. I used the edge of the die to shape the layers before attaching them to my card. I embossed the white layer with a Tattered Lace embossing folder. The die cut shapes are cut using dies from a nesting set from The Works.

Wedding Exploding Box

My blog post for the new challenge over at

movingalongwiththetimes

A Wedding Cake Exploding Box.

This is my first attempt of an exploding box with a wedding cake.

It was easier than I expected

The measurements and instructions for the box is at my tutorials. I only did one layer of he box on this occasion to allow enough room for the cake and used plain card to cover the panels of my box.

I have used a template that I found on the internet and printed onto white card to make the cake,

I folded the template and glued with PVA. I used ribbon and a lace and pearl trim to decorate the cake.  I made the flowers using die cuts that I cut with a Cheery Lynn die. I embellished the flowers with flat backed pearls. I placed the embellishments on the edges and joins of the cake to make it look neater.

I attached the cake to the centre of box on top of a die cut scalloped circle. I used a Xcut die from a nesting set.

I printed personalised sentiments for each side of the box and cut them to fit and decorated them with the lace and pearl trim and the flowers to match the cake.

Fuschia card


I have made these fushia using a Cheery Lynn die. I have die cut the elements in purple and pink and manipulated the elements with an embossing tool. I have put stamens through the centre of the flowers and coloured the ends of the stamens with a pink marker. I had started making these flowers a couple of months ago for my Mother-in-law because she loved flowers. Unfortunately my Mother-in-law passed away before I had the opportunity to make a card with them for her. So I have made this card to take to the cemetery.

I have used a 5x7in card and cut an oval out with a Presscut die. I cut a purple piece of card to size and then cut an oval out of the purple card using a larger die out of the nesting set. I have added the flourish, die cut with a Cheery Lynn die and then attached the flowers to the flourish using my glue gun. I printed a sentiment and die cut it with a die from The Works.

Dragon card


My son asked me to make a birthday card for one of his mates. He attends a Welsh medium school so the welsh sentiment dies by Tattered Lace are great but I wish they were bigger.

The Sweet Dixie  dragon die is also great. I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with red and then green card. I have added a piece of embossed white card down the centre of my card and added ribbon down both sides of the embossing. I die cut circle in green and white using a Go Kreate die and a Tonic die and then added the red dragon. I die cut the sentiment and added it a banner cut with a Sue Wilson banner. I completed my card with stars that I have cut with a punch.

Gardening birthday card


A birthday card with a garden scene for my Father-in-law who loves his garden.

I have made an 8x8in white easel card. I have matt and layered the top and the bottom of the card. On the top I have added blue on the top and green on the bottom. On the base of my card I have matt and layered the base of my card with green and then blue card.

I have used lots of dies, using my scraps to create a scene.

I have printed a sentiment and die cut it with a Spellbinders die from nesting set. I then cut the next two sizes in the nesting in the same colours as my matt and layering. I mounted the sentiment and then added the element to my card with foam pads so it will act as the stopper for the easel.

I die cut a small circle and added a Dad die cut to the corner of the base of my card.

Bride place setting


The place setting for the bride. This is made using Create a Card dies. It was tricky because I wanted it to be like the guests place settings but tent fold and shaped on both sides so I had to cut part of the die and then reverse my machine and turn my die and do the same the other side being careful lining it up. After doing this I cut between the die cuts ends with my guillotine. I die cut the fancy element with a free die from a magazine and attached that to the place setting before adding the fancy embellishment.
