Baby Time...

 Good Afternoon

I have designed two baby cards in different colours depending on whether you need a girl or boy card.

Close up on both cards:-

I have used white 5"x 5" Scalloped cards.

Die-cut 15 scalloped squares 2 different patterns for each card. Attach to the main card alternating the patterns and leaving the bottom right without the square. Stamp out the baby image onto beige spotted card using a grey Versafine Clair Ink pad and then emboss with clear embossing powder. (I used an Elephant stamp from L.O.T.V). Die-cut the image with a scallop die 7cm x 8.5cm. Stick to the centre of the card. Add a thin line around the Elephant image with a grey pen as in the picture.  Die-cut a frame from the scalloped dies, using contrasting colours, the centre of your frame being 7cm x 8.5cm and the outer straight edge 8cm x 10cm. Attach over the stamped image with foam. I have added some button thread to the frame but you need to attach before you stick the frame down. Stamp out the balloon again, in contrasting colour, cut out and add to the main image. Tie a bow to the balloon as in the diagram and add Liquid Pearls to the shadow on the balloon. Finish off with a greeting and add to the bottom right of the card.

Thank you Tag card....

 Good Afternoon

I have designed a 'Thank you' card using a tag die-set from Little B Designs.

Close up....

Die-cut the largest tag shape from the set. I cut two with Kraft card stock. Cover the front of the tag with coloured card leaving a small border edge. Cut a strip of white card 15cm x 6cm and using a border punch on one of the smaller edges. Die cut a greeting (Thank You) and stick down in the centre of the white card. Die cut two Oval dies to form a frame and stick over the greeting. Die cut a second Oval, the larger of the two sizes and use as a mask over the greeting. Stamp all around the Oval using the Daisy stamp, leaves and butterflies, in different coloured inks to co ordinate with the backing paper. Attach the white stamped card across the centre of the tag. Tie the tag together using Button thread and finish off with Liquid Pearls in the centre of the flowers.

Bold But Beautiful....

 Good Afternoon,

Bold and spotted are the colours I have used on this card.

Close up...

I have used a 7"x 7" Square Scalloped white card with the straight edge at the top.

Die-cut a Scalloped square 14cm, then emboss with a dotty embossing folder and add to the main card. Cut three different colours of ribbon 16cm, fold and add them to the card as in the diagram with the fold at the bottom. Add a ribbon bow to each of the stalks. Die-cut three flowers from dotty card and add to the top of the ribbon. The centre flower slightly lower than the other two. Tie button thread or string into each button and stick the buttons down in the centre of the flowers. Die cut a flower or grass border and add to the bottom of the stalks. Die-cut a bunting strip (x2) and add to the top of the card. Add a greeting and finish off with a running stitch all around the card and around each flower with fine liner pens.
