Personalised Wedding Card

The other elements I added to the flowers are cut with the die that comes with the quilling die. I die cut ovals with dies from a Presscut nesting set. I added the sentiment that I cut with a Tonic dies. I die cut the personalised sentiment with a Tonic die from a nesting set. The date is in the bottom corner that has been cut with a small Presscut oval die. I completed the card with Tonic Nuvo drops.

70th Birthday Card

This is my DT post for the challenge over at http://craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.blogspot.com/

I have cut the book elements using a Tattered Lace set. I foiled two layers with my Gemini Foil Press. I shaped the layers around a rolling pin before adding them to my card using 3D foam pads then I added the bookmark down the centre. I foiled the frames using a Stamp "N" Cut die. I foiled the numbers with a Tonic Numbers die. I printed a personalised sentiment and placed it behind the frame before attaching it to my card. I added a plain background behind the other frame and then the foiled numbers. I made the flowers using a Die'sire quilling die. I have foiled the leaves and other elements on die to add to the flowers. I attached these to the bookmark using hot glue. I completed my card with ribbon at the top of the bookmark.

Personalised New Baby Card

I was asked to make a personalised new baby card in black and grey. I didn't want to use the usual dies I use for a baby card because I thought they would look odd in the colour scheme. I decided to use the Tonic teddies. I die cut them in grey and black and paper pieced them.

Wedding Table Numbers

I have been busy making various items for my next door neighbours wedding. I was given little boards with pegs on that they want to peg on to jugs that contain flowers as their table centre pieces

I wanted to incorporate elements I have used on other projects. The lattice design and pearls are on the invitations and the ribbon is on the place settings. The groom and their children are Welsh speakers so they wanted to incorporate Welsh. So I added "bwrdd" which is Welsh for table.

I covered the boards with cream card and then added the purple lattice that I cut with a Cheery Lynn die. I die cut the scalloped oval with a Go Kreate die from a nesting set. I added the purple die cut numbers that I cut with a Tonic die. I then printed "Bwrdd" and die cut it with a Presscut oval die from a nesting set and mounted it to a purple oval before attaching it to the board. Finally, I added the flat backed pearls and a small lilac bow.

Engagement exploding box

I had made the exploding using the instructions in my tutorial. I made this box with only two layers so the centre is big enough for the ring box. I matt and layered the first layers panels with pink then white card. I added various love die cuts on the inside of first layer and outside of second layer. I printed sentiments and die cut them with a die from a nesting set from The Works and attached them to each panel of the top layer. I have made a small box, I folded tissue paper for the top. I made a ring by die cutting with a Marianne die and adding a flat backed gem. I tied ribbon to the ring and wrapped it around the tissue so the ring stands up. I decorated the box with lace and ribbon. I used the same die cuts on the four sides of the outside, cut using a die from The Works. I decorated the lid with the same lace and ribbon as on the ring box and added the heart die cuts, I cut the hearts with dies from a Sizzix nesting set and added the sentiment.

I completed my box with various flat backed embellishments.

16th Birthday Card

A quick birthday card for my son to take to school tomorrow for one of his mates.

I have using a Tonic die set to make the hedgehog. I printed the personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Go Kreate die from and nesting set. I used the next size in the nesting set to cut the blue circle. I covered my 8x8in white card with blue card and then gingham card. I die cut the balloons and added the numbers that I cut with Marianne dies. I cut the Welsh sentiment with a Tattered Lace die and added it to a banner before attaching it to my card.

I have covered my 8x8in white card with green and white gingham paper from Anna Marie. I have die cut the dragon with a Sweet Dixie die and added it to the circles that I cut with Tonic dies.

Good Luck card

This is a personalised card for a young lady who is going to Germany for an operation.

I printed off a personalised sentiment and an image from her fundraising page. I  matt and layered my 8x8in white card with green card and patterned paper. I added ribbon across my card and. I die cut my sentiment with a die from a nesting set from The Works and used the next size in the nesting set to cut the green card to mount my sentiment. I mounted the image onto the green card. I attached both of these elements to my card with foam pads. I cut the hearts with a punch and used them to complete  my card.
