Pretty Button Birthday Card...

 Hello there

I have made a birthday card using up lots of buttons I have collected over time. Shades of green and grey that match the paper pad I have used.

Close up...

White Scalloped 6"x6" Card.

Cut a piece of patterned paper slightly smaller than the card to leave a white border edge. Die-cut two scalloped squares, one white card 10.5cm and one grey 9.5cm. Attach both grey on white and then onto the main card. Die-cut nine scalloped squares 2.5cm in the pale green card. Attach one button to each of the small squares. Add these nine squares evenly to the grey card as in the picture. Punch out the three butterflies from the pattern paper and attach to the card. Add a greeting to the bottom of the card, and finish off with the Liquid Pearls on the butterflies.

Happy Mother's Day....

 Good Afternoon

I have made a quick Mother's Day card using the Background papers from Stamperia.

Close up:-

I have used a 6"x 6" Kraft Card.

I cut down one of the background papers from the pad slightly smaller than the kraft card and attached it to the card. Cut out a tag, flower and butterfly from the matching 12"x 12" paper. Add a string to the top of the tag and add to the card. I stamped a greeting on the tag. Attach the cut out flower to the card on foam. Add a matching button to the centre of the flower. Add the butterfly as in the picture. Stamp a  Mother's Day greeting to the top right of the card. The beauty of this card is that it makes a lovely birthday card too.

A Row Of Daffodils.....

 Good Afternoon,

A row of Daffodils are on this card I made today. Spring is on its way, we hope, although it is raining here at the moment.

Close Up.......

I have used an A5 Cream card.Portrait.

Die-cut two rectangles from the stitched rectangle set and yellow card, one 16cm x 10.5cm and one 12.5cm x 9cm. Attach both to the card as in the picture. Cut a length of white card 18.5cm x 5.5cm and stamp across with a Daffodil stamp.  I have clear embossed before I coloured in the flowers and leaves and Ladybirds using the Promarkers. Matte the white card with the yellow card. Outline the flowers with a light grey Promarker to make them stand out a bit more. Attach this strip to the main card 5.5cm from the top edge of the  card. Cut another piece of white card 5cm x 5cm and stamp the Daffodils as before, emboss with clear embossing powder and colour in with the same pens. Die-cut one square  slightly larger than the white stamped square, then a smaller square in the centre to make a frame shape. Die-cut a tag 11cm x 3cm out of the yellow card and a matching yellow bow. Add them to the main card slightly to the right of the card as in the picture. Finish off with a greeting and Stickles on the flowers. I added a Die-cut greeting with a pearl over the i.
