Fireman Birthday

This is a card I made for another of my daughters friends. I'm not sure who the paper is by but I loved the old fashioned look of it. I have added a sentiment printed on my PC, mounted on 3D foam pads over a length of Anita's ribbon. The 4 is cut on my Cuttlebug - mounted on 3D foam pads.

My Anniversary

My hubbie and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary last week and this is the card I made for him. A really simple card, I used some lovely printed card as a base. I cut the heart out from the card and re-attached it using 3D foam pads. I put an Anita's pink ribbon on the top of the card and attached 3 brads. The sentiment is printed on my PC. I rounded the corners with my Woodware punch and attached it with 3D foam pads.

This is the card I made for my daughters to give to us. I layered green and white card for the base. I used my Nesties to cut a base for the image, which is a Penny Black stickeroo. The sentiment is printed on my PC and layered on a piece of green Anita's sticky ribbon. I have rounded the edges with my Woodware punch.

A Page for Paige

This is my second scrap-booking page. It is of my eldest daughter, Paige, just after her 1st birthday. I just love the photos and had fun putting the layout together. I have used Blond Moments paper and Prima flowers with some sparkly Papermania gems. There is a length of Anita's sticky ribbon as the divide between the patterned paper and the pale orange paper. I have stamped Paige's name on to a piece of pearlescent paper, using a See D's alphabet in orange ink embossed with Heat It Up powder.

Boxing Sheep

Sorry that the picture is not great. I took it with my mobile phone this morning (at work) as I forgot to take a pic last night. I made this for a friend at work. Her fitness trainer is moving to Wales - hence the sheep and boxing gloves!! The backing card is dark green Brazzil Basics card layered with green daisy paper from Scissor Sisters. The image is designed and hand-drawn by me in ink, coloured with colour pencils. I decoupaged the sheeps' face and the boxing gloves, layered with the same dark green Brazzil Basics. Underneath the image are two lengths of green gingham ribbon from Blonde Moments. I have added an Anita's Best Wishes sentiment.

Mothers Day is for Grannys Too

This is a card I whipped up this morning for my Mom from my two girls. I stamped "Granny" using See D's and Brilliance ink on to pale blue card layered with bright blue card. I double stamped to create a shadow. I cut 2cms off a square card and attached the sentiment to the top of the card. I used a really pretty Papermania embossed vellum, edged with two strips of bright blue Papermania ribbon. The flowers were made by sticking Anita's outline stickers on to blue paper and cutting them out - they are attached to the card using 3D foam pads. Papermania gems add a bit of sparkle to their centres.

A Star is Born

One of my friends had a gorgeous baby boy last week and this gave me an opportunity to try out some more of my new Stamping Bella stamps. I used 4 different types of ribbon (1st and 3rd - Anita's sticky ribbon, 2nd - Joy Crafts, 4th - a blue gingham from Papermania). I stamped Baby Bella Hanging Bundle on to white card and layered this with baby blue card. I coloured him with coloured pencils and Whispers Brush Markers and attached him to the card using 3D foam pads. I then stamped the Bella sentiment using a Brilliance black ink pad.

NattyK's Blog Candy

This my entry for NattyK's blog challange - the theme is pink. The backaround paper is Blonde Moments Sugar Dumpling Sweetie. I have used a Woodware courner rounding punch on the paper and the card. I have put a piece of pinky purple Anita's Sticky Ribbon down one side and attached two pink and one dark pink flowers with small cream Papermania brads. I have stamped the sentiment using See D's Birthday Sayings using pink ink on to light pink card, embossed with pink Heat It Up powder. This had been layered with pink vellum and both the card and vellum have been cut with my Fiskars edging scissors(deckle) and attached with 3D foam pads. To finish, three star Papermania gems have been added to each side of the sentiment.

Spotty Flowery Mothers Day

Taking inspiration from a card I saw in a Do Crafts magazine, I made this card for a friend to give to her Mum. I used several different colours of Anita's Sticky Ribbon wrapped around a length of white card. The layered flower is made from 4 different sizes and colours from Queen & Co attached with a large Papermania silver brad. The flower stem is made from Papermania gems. The sentiment has been made by sticking peel off stickers on to a strip of white card and then inking it up with a small pink ink pad, I then peeled the stickers off. This has been layered with darker pink card. The finshed senitment is attached with 3D foam pads.

Beaded Thanks

This lovely card was one I made following my daughters Christening. I saw a similar card in the Do Crafts magazine and I loved the colour and the beads. I have used a tall white card from Craft Tonic. I embossed the sentiment using a Papermania embossing stencil. I have used blue Papermania handmade paper with a blue Anita's Sticky Ribbon across the middle. For the central decoration, I have stuck transparent beads on a square of white card, stuck directly on to the card.
