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.

April Spring Daisies....

 I have designed a 'For You' card using a paper pad with a very much scrapbook style.

Close up:-

White 7" x 5" Card.

Cut 2 pieces of paper, different patterns from the pad, 12.3cm x 5cm and 12.3cm x 4cm. Scallop the bottom edges of both papers. Wrap a piece of ribbon to the top piece of paper before you add them both to the main card, one under the other. Add a piece of paper 11cm x 5.5cm to the left side of the card just under the scallop as in the diagram. Cut 3 pieces of different papers 3cm wide x 6cm and scallop the bottom edges as before. Add to the left side of the card, one on top of the other. Wrap a piece of ribbon around the top piece and add a punched out Daisy. Cut out a tag from the Daisy papers, add a ribbon through the top and add to the right side of the main card on foam. Add 2 pieces of ribbon, folded at each side and stuck down in the middle to make a bow, one on top of the other and add another punched out Daisy. Add Liquid Pearls to the centre of the Daisies.

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.
