Just having a messaround

Morning all well it is a really beautiful morning here , the sun is out and there isnt a cloud in the sky , and that dreaded wiind has dropped ....
Yesterday i was having a play with my Grand Calliber , and Mbossabilitiy folders , i dont know about you but i buy stuff and forget about things i have bought and they just get pushed to one side , till i have a clean up and find them , then its palytime . A really good friend of mine sent me a load of the gilding flakes and flitter glu for xmas , but i wasnt really sure what to do with them , till i saw the programme on C&C yesterday then i just had to play . So on the first card i Mbossed a sheet of cream cardstock , i stamped out a sentiment and used the glu and flakes on it , then cut it out with a spellbinder die and used pearls around the edge to finish that off . I placed a wide gold and cream ribbon around the base of the card and fastened a bow , button , cord and a pearl to that , then added 3 pearls to the top 2 corners .

My sons said they dont like it its too plain ,  but i really like it , what do you think ?.

Just using up my stash

I had been going through my stash and found some images i had printed from my Humphrey cds , so decided to make up a card using stuff i have had for awhile , here is the end product . I used a card blank from Kanban , embossed it using an  Mbossability folder , that i inked up before running it through my grand caliber , (i havent done that before ) i used dusty concord and milled lavender distress inks to colour the folder and the edges of the card . I then did a lot of matting and layering with white,lilac,and pattered paper , i wrapped lilac ribbon and white lace around the mats and stuck it all onto the base card . I added the decoupaged image onto a shape cut from spellbinders die ,with a greeting, a bow and pearls . Lastly i threaded a ribbon through a border cut from another spellbinder die and a row of white lace along the side , and finished off with sinlk flowers , a lilac button , and a bow .

Lime Green and all the Purples


I made this card using this sketch the base card is Adorable Scorable and i have used plain and patterend lime green papers in different shades for the mat and layers . I also used purple and lilac plain and patterened papers for the mats and the die cutting shapes and the leaves . The flowers are some i bought from Ebay , and the topper i bought years ago , there was a big box of alsorts from a bootsale , (i got a real bargain that day)lol , i added a sentiment and faux pearls to finish it all off . Apart from the base card and flowers i have used , everything else is from my stash , and i have had this for years , i cant believe what has been lurking in my boxes all these years .........

I will be entering this card into Joanna Sheens challenge ....For Someone Special...

I must say i loved making this card , but you want to see the mess i have to clear up with everything i got out lol. I started by cutting the doily shape out on my Cameo , then joined them together with a small piece of card to make an Easel shaped card , i used papers from my stash , the image was from Digital Designer cds , and that was plased on a circle of paper that i glues lace to the outside edge , i put 2 rows of ribbon accross the middle and wooden flowers along the edge of the large circle . The bottom just has a tag mounted on contrasting paper with another wooden flower to finish it off .

Cream on Cream

This card was inspired by Christina from http://flowersribbonsandpearls.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/zig-zag-card-for-another-look.html, she is totally awsome at what she does and creates and shares it all with us , she has really helped me with my card making and made me think out of the box when it comes to making up my cards ...

I made this card using cream cardstock , a martha stewert punch and spellbinders , with ribbon and pearls to embellish , there are butterflies i cut on my Cameo added to diferent layers .  It is a Zig Zag card all interlocked together ,  but even with all the embellishments on it it still goes flat enough to go inside a normal envelope ... So here is the card ....and thanks for dropping by ...Hugs Sue xx
