Hi everyone

Here’s a wedding card today. I’ve used a stencil by sweet poppy designs and white paste to create the cake and then sprinkled iridescent glitter over it. This is the first time I’ve done this.

This card is 8″x8″ in size. The background has been embossed with an A4 embossing folder. I’ve mounted the cake onto a matt cut with a spellbinders 5×7 die called detailed scallops. ” On your Wedding Day was cut with my britannia dies. The names and date were computer generated, then matted and layered. I’ve added a big bow to the corner, with a jelly tot diamante in the centre.

Here’s a closer look at that wedding cake, hopefully you can see the glitter a little better in this piccie.

Hi Everyone.

I’ve got an easel card today.

I made an easel card using one of my xxl dies. The shoe, patterned paper and flower embellishment came from a cd that was bought at the NEC called Fabulous shoes. I added a sentiment, some  ribbon and stickles to glitter it up.

Hi bloggers.

Here’s a birthday card I made for a friend, it’s a cascading card.

DSC03938

I’ve made a straight-edged one of these before but I saw a template with a lattice die at one of the shows and liked the end results. So I used this template and die cut it. I’ve added some patterned paper and die cut some butterflies from parchment paper. The Happy Birthday was die cut from a die set from britannia dies.

Good morning!!

I needed a quick and easy card for a friend to give to her Granddaughter and this only takes about 20 minuets, if that.

I’ve folded an A4 piece of dotty card in half lengthways. The letters and numbers were cut out with a quik cutz alphabet called Abigail. I’ve then cut some circles using my nesties and computer generated the sentiment. Added a bow, some tiny punched flowers and a few gems to finish it off.

Short and sweet from me today. Have a lovely day, whatever you’re doing.

I’ve distress the whole card with ink and added some polka dot card from Anna-marie designs, this card is really good quality. The shoes have been stamped and then cut out. I’ve punched out a circle and put a “40” peel off in the corner and then added some paper roses, leaves, a sentiment, ribbon and bow and some gold bling.
