Lantern for wedding

A completed lantern for a wedding decoration.

I have used a tonic die to cut out the elements in linen card. I have added pink parchment behind the fancy elements for the light to shine through. I die cut a small circle in the centre of the base. I put a band of card around two battery operated tea lights and attached them inside the lantern with a hot glue gun making sure the switches can be accessed through the circle in the base. I completed the lantern with pink wired ribbon and a pearl embellishment.

Birthday card

I have been asked to make a birthday card for a young lady to give her Gran. She was very specific with all elements especially wording. Inside the card reads "You are not getting older you are getting more precious!! I love making cards because you can add any special touches like these.

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with pink and then white card. I die cut the valance and trellis in pink using Cheery Lynn dies. I printed the sentiment and die cut it with a Presscut oval die from a nesting set. I die cut a pink oval using the next size in the nesting set. I attached the valance to the matt and layered card base  but attached the trellis to plain white card and then cut around it and attached the rectangle to my card with foam pads. I used the topper from a Papermania set and completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops.

Funny 18th Birthday card

This is a card for my son to give to one of his mates brother who is 18 tomorrow. Joe gave my son a lift home from football training while being instructed by his Dad. When they dropped my son off Joe ran over my sons toe. No damage done but my son will never let him forget it!!

I have found some images on the internet and printed them. I mounted both pictures on red card. I printed a sentiment and then matt and layered the 8x8in white card with red card and then the white card with the sentiment. I die cut the speech bubble using a First Edition die and the letters are cut with a Xcut die. I added the letters to the speech bubble and then attached it to the card. I die cut the numbers using Marianne dies and attached them to my card.

Auntie Birthday Card

I have made an 8x8in white easel card. I matt and layered the top with silver, pink and white embossed  card. I embossed the white card with a Sue Wilson embossing folder.

Wedding place setting

I have made this place setting using a Die'sire create a card die set. I have printed onto white card and die cut it trimming the edge with a guillotine because it does not cut because it is a create a card die. I die cut the next size in pink card and then the card in white linen card. I die cut the fancy element using a die I had free on a magazine. I used my Xyron to enable me to attach this to the white layer before attaching it to the other layers because it is easier to trim it to size. I then added the lovely pearl embellishment using a glue gun.

I have made this book using a set of Die'sire create a card and beautiful paper from a First Edition It's a girl 8x8in pad. The dies do not cut the one side so you can adapt the size to your requirements and then use the same dies to make the pages. Because the dies are a nesting set they are perfect to cut the patterned paper.
