Mothers Day Cards

Both of these cards were made by stamping and embossing different sized flowers onto white card using perfect medium ink and clear embossing powder.
I then used a flower die to cut out the 3 layered sizes. I used perfect pearls ink sprays to soak the images with colour. It is resisted by the embossing and gives a lovely pearlescent finish.
I cut out leaf shapes and sprayed them with green pearl ink.
The flowers were put together using a brad then attached to the card which was wrapped in coordinating coloured ribbon.
Greeting and adhesive pearls were added to finish.

Owl Birthday Card

I had a gorgeous owl rubber stamp that I was dying to use.
This is a very simple card made by stamping the owl onto different papers. Then paper pieced onto Kraft card and die cut into a circle. Background was a die cut scalloped circle which I then cut in half. Greeting was stamped directly onto the card. A pretty green polka dot ribbon behind the owl finished it off nicely.

I turned some boring old magnets into something beautiful using Tim Holtz tattered floral die. Cut various felt and fabric and covered the magnets, using buttons for centres.

Mixed Media Canvas

I created this mixed media canvas by painting the blank canvas with acrylic paints. I then layered several patterned papers and fabric onto the canvas. Once dry, I stamped onto it using silver and black Stayz On ink and added some paper flowers which I created by die cutting circles and securing with brads. The edges of the canvas were inked with Tim Holtz distress inks and some Stickles added all over to finish.

This card was really quick and easy.

I stamped a flower image 3 times onto white pearl card using pink ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I trimmed the images down so I ended up with 3 panels of design and used a quickie glue pen and pink glitter for the stamens and flower centres. The panels were stuck onto pink floral paper and attached to the pink pearl background.

The greeting was stamped onto white pearl card, die cut using Spellbinders labels die and the edges inked.

The greeting is attached to the card front by wrapping with bakers twine.

Anniversary Card

This is a very simple card which was made by die cutting circles from patterned papers and sticking them straight onto some white card. I then used some patterned paper to make a 'grass' border at the bottom and drew in the flower 'stems' using a black fineliner pen. The flower centres are buttons with bakers twine threaded through the middle.

The greeting was stamped and cut out, back with pink perl card and covered in Glossy Accents to give it a raised shine.

The whole topper was back with pink pearl card and stuck onto a Kraft card blank.

This card was made by punching a border top and bottom of some green paper using a Marthe Stewart flower edge border punch. The green background paper was wrapped with ribbon and stuck to the Kraft card blank.

I ran some white pearlescent card through a Sizzix embossing folder and then die cut using Tim Holtz tattered floral die. The die cuts were then coloured by sponging with Tim Holtz distress inks in various colours. The flower was layered up using Pinflair Glue Gel and stuck to the base card, using a green gem flower for the centre.

The greeting was die cut using Spellbinders label die, greeting stamped on and edges inked with Tim Holtz distress ink.

Fathers Day Scrap Book

I made this mini scrap book for my Dad this year as a Fathers Day gift. I printed off lots of lovely photos showing Dad and cut them to size, rounding the corners with a Tonic corner punch.

I then printed lots of little Dad sentiments and quotes which I found online.

I played about with the layouts of each page until I was happy with the flow of the book, then stuck everything down onto plain navy card stock.

I embellished some pages with buttons and paper flowers and made tabs for turning the pages from ribbon and due cut labels.

The book is held together by punching holes through each page then threading with ribbon and tying loosely so there is room for the pages to turn.
