twoo cute ...

• hunkydory 'what a hoot' paper craft kit : twit twoo
• 7x7 card blank
• silver mirri card

I took inspiration from the sketch and thought it would work perfectly for this topper sheet as it had a banner on it. I matted my card with silver mirri, then layered with the coordinating paper from the kit. I cut each end of the banner off to sit behind the topper as they do in the sketch, making sure to leave the strip in the middle just over 5" long to be used on another card. I then arranged the topper and banners onto the card blank. I glued the banners in position onto the topper then mounted this on foam pads for dimension. These toppers are so lovely they really don't need a lot doing to them to make a nice card, I will simply stamp a sentiment inside to complete this card.

50!!

 

• MDF/ laser cut wooden shape
• melody ross- homespun chic 12x12" paper pad
• studio paint and brushes
• anna marie designs- flowers etc
• pink ribbon
• scrabble tiles (travel edition)

 

I painted the edges and the base with brown paint. I covered the front and back of the '50' with patterned paper. I placed the 50 into the base. I then created arrangements of fibres and flowers for decoration, which I secured in place with hot glue. I also added 'mum' in small scrabble tiles using the hot glue gun. I finished it with a ribbon around the base and tied it in a bow, then added another bow onto the corner arrangement.

I cut a banner from Kraft cardstock and stamped the sentiment to heat emboss it. I then die cut multiple layers of the numbers from Kraft cardstock and layers these up with a top layer of glitter paper. I then layered the cardblank with a Matt of Kraft, followed by the watercolour panel and topped with the banner and numbers to complete the sketch.

I cut another mat of cardstock and coloured this pink using copics to match perfectly with the image. I then stamped this panel with the background stamp. I layered each of these onto a mat of black cardstock, leaving a very fine border. I cut a third panel of white card to almost fill the front my black card blank. Following the sketch, I then stamped this with the sentiment before carefully gluing my panels into position.

a birthday flower...

• 7x7" white card blank
• kraft cardstock
• DCWV floral fair paper stack
• poppy stamps- fancy happy birthday die
• wink of stella- clear

to make this card I took 3 papers from the paper pad. the 1st sheet, I used to mat straight on to the card blank. I cut a kraft layer and die-cut the sentiment out of the centre (gutting). I then matted this layer with the 2nd sheet of paper and glued the sentiment in to the centre. the 3rd sheet of paper I fussy cut the flowers out to make an arrangement in two corners of the card. I attached these to my card using foam for dimension, I also added a touch of sparkle to the flower to complete my card.
