Another girl!

Another new little girl to welcome to the world :-)  and another chance to work with pink!

The banner was cut using the Sizzix framelits “Banner, Pennant Scallop - #657571 (the smallest one).   The letters were cut using a Joy! Crafts die – alphabet & numbers 6002/0139.  I used pink embroidery thread to link the banner.  The crib was cut using Sizzix die, cradle, 3D - #658986 and coloured with Promarkers, which I then trimmed to suit.  The cute giraffe was from the thinlits & stamp set “Baby Boy” – 659088, coloured with Promarkers (of course!)

An old favourite

Once again, I used the dress form die - Sizzix Bigz Sewing Room die (#657186) and the card blank was embossed using the Cuttlebug Swiss dots embossing folder .  This time I cut the dress form from patterned cork and also plain card, so that I could colour the stand to match (using Promarkers).  I added a lace trim, and a flower.

London

The prefect birthday card for a London Lady.  This card was made using the xcut build a scene die set.  It was an enjoyable card to make, playing with all the layers.

Thank you

It’s always nice to say thank you and nicer to say it with a card.

I carefully measured my card blank and then cut 5 pieces of heavy metallic paper, which I them mounted onto thin card (just to keep the strips together).  I then embossed it using the Cuttlebug folder thanks (#37-1134) and added a computer generated greeting.

Music Lover

A birthday card for a music lover.

Once again,  I used the Sizzix thinlits juke box & music set (#659502) and the rock ‘n’ roll came from the Sizzix thinlits rock ‘n’ roll sundae set (#659505)

1st Birthday

A simple but effective 1st birthday card.

The frame was cut using the Sizzix thinlits butterfly card set (#659972) and the letters were cut using the Sizzix thinlits just a note alphabet (#660111)

Two birthdays, two boots

Two birthday cards for two guys who love their DM’s.  The boots were coloured using Promarkers and the pair of boots had a layer of glitter painted on, once the Promarkers had dried.  The records and stave were cut using Sizzix Thinlits juke box & music (#659502).

Anniversary time again

Once again, it was time to celebrate our wedding anniversary (where did that year go?)

I embossed a pearly gold card blank with the embossing folder from the Sizzix Happy Hearts set (#658537) ; the figures were cut from self-adhesive paper, using the Sizzix thinlits You & Me set (#659780); the words were stickers from my stash and the big heart frame was cut from red card using Sizzix framelits Hearts (#657561).

Parchment Cat

The “purr-fect” card for a cat lover,  Based on a design from Parchment Craft magazine.  It made a nice change to be working with parchment again (I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed “parching”) and I was extremely pleased with the results.
