Champagne chic

• Hunkydory especially for her luxury card collection: champagne chic
• Lawn fawn custom craft dies: happy birthday border & Finley's 123's
• Avery elle custom steel dies: a tag for all die
• gold trimmed pink organza ribbon
• Gold mirri card
• A5 & landscape 5x7" white card blanks

For the first A5 card, I used the lady in the little black dress topper with the black frame and coordinating cardstock to create my design. I cut the cardstock down to fit the front with a mat of gold mirri card. I then positioned the topper image and glued this flat. I added the frame and sentiment, raised up on foam pads. I finished the card with the coordinating insert, trimmed to fit inside.

I used the remaining rose cardstock as a background for the pink lady. I cut a mat of gold mirri to cover the card and trimmed the rose cardstock as a layer, but didn't glue this down. I die cut the happy birthday sentiment from gold mirri card. I then laid everything in position and wrapped the ribbon around the cardstock in place and secured at the back. I then glued the cardstock onto the card front. I glued the sentiment and image topper in place. and finished with a ribbon bow.

Using the other cardstock from the collection, I created another A5 card. I cut the mat and layer of gold mirri and patterned cardstocks to fit the front. I then diecut the '50' and birthday sentiment from gold mirri. I arranged these onto the card along with the two ladies topper and rose frame. Once happy with the design, I glued the die cuts and image down flat and raised the frame up on foam pads. For the inside, I trimmed the coordinating insert down to fit neatly.

 For this 5x7" card, I made a feature of the printed image on the remaining cardstock. I trimmed the top border from the cardstock, layered onto mirri and glued to the inside of the card. I then cut away the card front to reveal the panel inside. I cut the image section down to fit the card front, on a mat of gold mirri card. To complete, I glued the friend sentiment from the collection in the space beside the ladies, using foam for dimension.

Merry Christmas, sausage!

• Hunkydory cute Christmas luxury card collection: Merry Christmas, sausage!
• 7x7", 6x4" & DL card blanks
• Gold mirri card

I created this 7" square card using the largest topper from the set. I mat and layered the patterned cardstock and gold mirri onto the card front. I then positioned the topper on using foam pads, so the scarf border on the topper lined up with the dog on the backing card. I completed the card with the coordinating sentiment from the set, overlapping the topper on deeper foam pads.

Using the other piece of patterned cardstock, I created the DL card. I chose the DL format as it fit both borders on, I simply cut the cardstock to fit the card front. I then added the oval topper and large sentiment on foam pads for dimension. I completed the inside with the matching insert trimmed to fit.

For the 6x4" card, I cut down the remaining cardstock to fit the front of the card, this time removing both borders. I then layered the bottom border onto the card with foam pads to create dimension. I added the square topper above the border on foam pads to complete.

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.
