Perfume bottle birthday card

I have used a scalloped edge 8x8in white card, I matt and layered my card with black and gold card.

I have used the Eternal Ring striplet die by Sue Wilson to cut the background in black and mounted it onto white card. I die cut the perfume bottles with Sue Wilson dies. I die cut the shape out of double sided adhesive sheets, I then cut the detail dies in black and attached to the cut adhesive shapes. I covered the shapes with Tonic Nuvo glitter and tapped off the excess. I did the same with the Sue Wilson Oslo die from the Scandinavian collection. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with an element from the Oslo die set. I completed my card Tonic Nuvo drops.

Personalised Wedding Celebration Card

I have been asked to make this card for a couple who are having a party tonight to celebrate their wedding abroad

I have made an easel card. I have matt and layered the top and bottom with purple and white card, I die cut the valance, lattice, couple and flourish with Cheery Lynn dies. I cut all these elements in purple, I also die cut a scalloped heart in purple using a Sizzix die. I have also cut a lattice in white and the male from the couple in dark blue, I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Sizzix scalloped heart. I assembled the card with PVA. I slightly offset the white lattice over the purple lattice. I attached the blue groom over the purple one. I attached the hearts with foam pads so they will act as a stopper for the top of the card. I completed my card with flat backed pearls

Bird parchment card

Finally back to crafting............................I had a wonderful week last week. I was cruising to Portugal, Spain and France. My 40th birthday present off my lovely husband. I have finally washed, dried, ironed and packed everything away so I can do some crafting!!

This is my card for my DT post at movingalongwiththetimes. The theme is Birds and Feathers.

I have used my Groovi plates for the designs on my parchment using white parchment paper and rainbow parchment paper. I have used a semi circle Pergamano piercing tool  to go around the rainbow circle, In each semi circle I have embossed a white dot and then cut a picot edge with Pergamano scissors. I still need practice with this. I coloured my image with Spectrum Noir pencils. This card is for a man but something completely different to what I usually send, I hope he likes it.

I matt and layered my card with blue card and white embossed card. I embossed the white card using a Crafts Too embossing folder. I added a die cut sentiment. Then completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops
