Little Neighbour Birthday Card

 

I nearly missed a birthday. I needed to make a quick card for the little lady. 

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with pink card and then white embossed card.

I have used a page from a Hunkydory book. I mounted it onto pink card before attaching it to my card. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Spellbinders die from a nesting set. I mounted the sentiment onto a pink scalloped circle before attaching it to my card.

Exam Congratulations

 

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with kraft card and white card.

Wedding card

 

I have matt and layered the top and base of my 8x8in easel card with pink card and then embossed white card. I used a Tattered Lace embossing folder. I die cut the panels using a Sue Wilson die set. I cut three of the panels and added them onto white card. I added satin ribbon where the panels meet. I attached this element to my card using foam pads. I made the large flowers using die cuts cut with a Crafters Companion die. I also cut the flourish elements and leaves using a die from the same set. I die cut the ovals using dies from a Presscut nesting set then I added the sentiment that I cut with a Crafters Companion die. I attached the ovals to my card using foam pads and then added the floral elements with hot glue. I printed a sentiment for the base of the card and die cut it with a Tonic rectangular die and added it to a larger rectangle before attaching it to the base of my card using foam pads so it will act as the stopper for my easel. I completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops. I made a white box using my scoreboard and added pink panels to all sides. I die cut the heart to add to the top of my box.

Poinsettia Christmas Card

I have used a set of Tattered Lace dies to cut the "book" layers in white and red card. On the front I have used the die to cut a page from a Hunkydory liitle book. I curled all the layers around my rolling pin. 

I have made an A4 easel card and matt and layered the top and the bottom with red and then white embossed card. I added the book to the front using red liner tape in the centre and foam pads down the sides and then added the bookmark.  I die cut the sentiment with a Sue Wilson die and attached it to the die cut shapes which I cut with Spellbinders dies before attaching it to my card. I die cut the flourishes with a Cheery Lynn die and the poinsettia with Tattered Lace dies. I completed my card with satin ribbon and tonic nuvo drops. 

I made the box using a scoreboard. I attached red satin ribbon around the outside of the lid and added a bow.  I added the scalloped circles to the box lid, these were cut with Xcut dies from a nesting set. I die cut the sentiment with a Sue Wilson die. I completed the box with a poinsettia and tonic nuvo drops.

Card for special friends

 

This is a simple card. A card that no crafter wants to make. 

I have covered my 5x7in cream card with kraft card. I have added cream card to the bottom of my card blank and then attached satin ribbon across my card. I die cut the sentiment in kraft card using a Tonic die. I added the die cut butterflies, I cut them with Cheery Lynn dies.

Daffodil Birthday Card

I have matt and layered my A4 card with yellow and then blue gingham card. 

I printed a sentiment and die cut it with a Xcut scalloped circle die from a nesting set. I cut a yellow scalloped circle with the next size die in the nesting set to mount the sentiment before attaching it to my card. I attached lace down my card with a strip of yellow card and satin ribbon. I used the Xcut scalloped circle die to cut the Hobbyhouse image. I added die cut daffodils. I cut them with Leane Creatief dies.

Quick Baby Card

 

I have been asked to make a quick baby card. I wasn't given any information for the new arrival so this is what I made.

This is an A4 card  which has been matt and layered with lilac and white card. I added lace and satin ribbon down the card along with a bow. I die cut the scalloped ovals with Go Kreate dies from a nesting set. I added the sentiment to the ovals that I cut with a Tonic die. The vest and bib have been cut with Sue Wilson dies. I completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops on the oval and also on the vest where "poppers" would be.

Advent Calendar

 

This is my DT project for the challenge at craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper

I have started making advent calendars for my nieces. I have so much spare time at the moment I wanted to make something other than a card.

I have used a Crafters Companion double sided die to cut the small triangles. I covered the front of the boxes with patterned paper. I punched a hole in the top of the box and added a loop of ribbon through the hole. I added hot glue on the knot inside the box to secure the ribbon. The small numbers have been cut with Crafters Companion dies. I assembled the boxes together with high tack tape and glue. I attached white card and satin ribbon on the sides of the assembled boxes and then attached it to two sheets of 300gsm card and cut around it. I attached a 12x12in sheet of patterned paper to 300gsm card before attaching my calendar to it. I will personalise the creation in due course. 

There is a video on You Tube by a Crafters Companion member to help with this project.

Wedding Anniversary Card

 

This is my Guest Designer post for the challenge at paperfundaychallenges

An anniversary card for my best friend and her husband.

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with pink mirror card. I then added a satin finish card on the  bottom and embossed white card on the top. I used a Xcut embossing folder. I attached lace and ribbon across the centre of my card followed by an image from a Hunkydory book. The printed sentiment has been cut with a Go Kreate die from a nesting set and then attached to my card. I completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops.
