50th Card

I never know what to call this kind of card.I think most people call it a star card.I have used a Hunkydory topper and backing card on the front and the other half of the backing card on the back of the book to hold the ribbon in place.I have used lots of different stamps on the pages and decorated them with flowers again from a Hunkydory sheet.Looking through the hearts I have used papers from Kraftyhands Finishing Touch and Kew Floral Collection CDs.

Equestrian Events

The latest CD from Kraftyhands is out today.I didn't think I was going to like this one but I absolutely love it.Here are a few of my cards made from the CD and you can see more from all the design team over in the gallery on the Kraftyhands website. http://www.kraftyhandsonline.co.uk/

A card for the proud parents.

Another pretty pink card I have made,this time for my nephew and his wife.Their baby Florence Anne was born two weeks ago.
The topper is from Kanban and is mounted on a Spellbinders mat cut in silver. The backing paper is again from Kraftyhands CD Finishing Touch.The silver corners are a Joy die and the border is made with a Martha Stewart punch and a Tonic one.I have added a ribbon, some white daisies tipped with pink and some pink pearls.Oh, and a little pink heart.

New Arrival

Here is card I have made  for my brother and sister-in-law who became grandparents last week. The backing paper is from Kraftyhands Finishing Touch cd and is matted onto rainbow mirror card.The photo is cut with a Spellbinders die and mounted onto the same backing paper and then another Spellbinders die cut out of mirror card.The sentiment is from a Lili of the Valley stamp.The boots are a Stampendous stamp.I have added pearls to the border on the backing paper and a little dotty bow.

Father's Day Card

Her is a card I have made for Father's Day and I have included instructions on how I made it.
I have used the Kraftyhands goodies.
For my card I have used a mixture of Man About Town die cut stepper cards and items printed from the Man About Town CD.

Materials

Die cut stepper card, topper and sentiment

Ribbon strip and letters from the CD

Gold mirror card

Red card

Dotty ribbon

Dotty brad

Tassel

Double sided tape

Pinflair glue gel

To Create The Card

First pop out the stepper card from the sheet and fold on the pre-scored lines.

Pop out the topper and a sentiment.I have mounted the sentiment onto red card and the topper onto a mat cut from gold mirror card using the Spellbinders Labels 22 largest die.

Cut out the ribbon strip and thread the dotty ribbon through the slots.

To make the strip stand out from the card I have edged it using a Ruby Promarker.

Add the topper,the ribbon strip and the sentiment to the card using glue gel.

Cut out the letters and stick them to red card with double sided tape and cut out to leave a narrow border.

Add these to the side of the card at a jaunty angle using glue gel.

Pierce a hole at the top left side of the card and add the tassel with the brad.

Hope you like my card.

Sweet Mary Lou.

My card today is made with a digi stamp called 'Sweet Mary Lou' by Sherri Baldy.I have coloured her in with Promarkers.I have then cut her out using a Spellbinders die.To the 8x8 card base I have added a white mat embossed with a  Die-sire folder and wrapped a blue ribbon around and added a bow.The topper is added with Pinflair glue to give some dimension and paper flowers and blue pearls  complete the picture.
