Happy Mothersday !!!

Now I know its mothers day tomorrow in America so I thought I would repost My mothers day card for the benefit of those of you who are American. So here it is.

Its a DL card (8"x4"). In a peachy pinky colour (not sure which brand). Sorry x

I started out by cutting three scalloped circles from my spellbinders dies. I drew some lines on the back and trimmed them down to make three little dresses.

 Its a bit hard to explain so hopefully these pictures will help.

Count three scallops across each side of the bottom point.

Then draw a line from that point to the opposite top point.

Then cut along the red lines.

Hopefully you will get something that looks like this.

I put ribbon around the waist and added some glitter to each of the scallops.

 I added a piece of ribbon.

And used the cheater method to tie a bow.

I aded a black brad to each end of the ribbon just to keep it in place, and thats that.

Cupcake Easel Card

It was my nan's birthday last week so of course I made her a card and I thought I'd share it with you.

It is a side easel card, my first. I t wasn't very hard to make at all. You just take a square card and fold the front in half diagonally decorate it and put your stopper on.  I'm not sure of the exact measurements but its probably a 6"x6" or 8"x8" base.  with a 1/2" boarder.

I decorated mine with a pirimaged cupcake !!!             I pulled the pink out of the frosting and used it for the base colour. The reason I left a gap in the middle of the card stock was so that it would fold easier. I guess you don't have to if you don't want the gap, but thats just how I did it and I like it because there is some white in the cupcake design.







It looked a little plain so I added three pink pearls and a little pink bow, I didn't use the cheater method I actually tied a real bow !!!

For the inside I put a little boarder with some patterned paper and added a stopper witch said...

Hope your special days a treat.
The elements and toppers I used today were all from a hunkydory kit that I purchased from create and craft.

Today I made a quick and simple easter card.

So I just started off with a piece of lemon yellow card stock at 5"x4" (once folded)
I added a piece of patterned paper at 5"x2".

 I added a piece of ribbon.

Used the cheater method to tie a bow.

I put on a little decoupage chick using a papermania kit and my card was complete.

Happy Birthday Emily !!!

It was my friend Emily's birthday on friday so heres her card. 

I used my largest (large) petit scalloped circle die by spellbinders to cut out the main card. I then added the next size down and cut some patterned paper. 

I stamped happy birthday using a memento ink pad. 

I then used the smallest die cut it out a few times folded it in half and snipped one scallop off of each end. Using this technique I created three butterflies. 

I glittered each of the scallops and put the butterflies around the card.

Very Late Mothers Day card

My very very late mothers day card.

I have been so busy recently but I finally got to my computer so ...

Its a DL card (8"x4"). In a peachy pinky colour (not sure which brand).

I started out by cutting three scalloped circles from my spellbinders dies. I drew some lines on the back and trimmed them down to make three little dresses.

Princess Anya

Here I made a card using the princess Anya stamp by the greeting farm. It was actually a digi stamps at 3 1/2" by 3".  The card it 6 1/2" by 7 1/2" with a yellow matt of 5" x 6".

 I used my pro markers to colour her, including the skin tones (ivory, blush, dusky pink), classic christmas (gold) and brights (yellow, magenta).

 For her skin I used ivory then went over it with blush, i then added dusky pink for the apples of her cheeks. I used magenta for her dress and yellow for her hair and then went over it with ivory and finally I used gold for her crown.    

 For the bow I took a length of ribbon and tied a loose not in it.

 Then I slipped another short piece through the not and pulled it tight and created a perfect bow.

 I wanted to add some prima flowers but I didnt have any in the right colour so I took some white ones and coloured them using the same megenta pro marker that I used to colour the dress with.

Finally I added Anya herself using some dimensionals and stamped happy birthday, as this card was for my friends birthday.

Here are the pro markers that i used.
