First attempt at sewing on card!

This is a winter birthday card I made with my own papers made on computer again.

These are more lily papers I made on the computer. I sewed the papers to pink card using running stitch but on the top and side of the sentiment I used an embroidery flower stitch. I used lavender distress ink and perfect pearls on the edges of the card.

I used alcohol inks and glimmer mist to colour the lace and added gems and some WOC flowers.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and stickles for the fur trim. I used lavender distress ink and perfect pearls for the background and added gems. I used another piece of the lace over pink ribbon.

This is my first box for the birthday card I made yesterday. I’m pleased with it as I had to make up how to do it!!

I made the background paper with sentiment on the computer. I tied the bow and stuck it on the wreath. I used distress inks to colour card and the punched two butterflies. I curled the wings, layered them and added gems to the body.  I added a cluster of flowers from WOC.

Sweet Blossom birthday card

Sweet Blossom birthday card

Craftie Jellie

This birthday easel card has taken me ages!

I found a free Lily digi and used it to make the frame for Sweet Blossom on my computer.

On the base of the card I used more paper I’d made with the same digi. The butterfly was made using a MS punch (thanks for the inspiration Coops). I coloured some pink card with glimmer mists and Perfect pearls and then punched two butterflies and layered them with a slight uplift on the top one. I added gems to the body.
The raised card with sentiment was decorated with corners, flowers a ribbon and sliding buckle (WOCs) I also used distress inks to colour some lace for the background.

 Another photo to show the 3D effect on the butterfly!

I decorated my flower frame with some additional WOC flowers and used a small butterfly punch in same way to make the little butterflys and added them in frame and added them to give a 3D effect on the top of the card.
Sweet Blossom was coloured with Promarkers and inside the frame I used distress inks and covered with Perfect Pearls.

Around the edge of my backing paper on the top of the card I used Stickles glitter and WOC corners. The edges of the cards were coloured with distress ink and Perfect Pearls.

I have an age to add to the circle once I know the recipient of the card! I used distress inks and perfect pearls to do the background for the LOTV stamp. Image was coloured with Promarkers.The flowers are all WOC. I added a couple of gems to the flowers in her hair.

 I used glitter spray on all the yellow card.

Christmas card for teenage girl

Christmas card for teenage girl

Craftie Jellie

I was playing around with pear green and lilac to make digi papers and for colouring my digi.

The background papers were made using my computer. The top layer and tag is textured card sanded with an emery board and the outer edge blended with green distress ink.

I used a button from stash and some white ribbon cut out from my clothes (the annnoying ones used to keep clothes on the hanger which constantly come out when you’re wearing them so I cut them off and keep the for crafting and gift tags!). I coloured the ribbon with lavender distress ink.

This is such a gorgeous digi!

I used Antique Rose distress ink blended oto the edges of the card and on the black and white flower backing paper. I then dabbed it around my image. I used two layers of lilac ribbon which are both fairly translucent.

I coloured my Silver Fairy digi with Promarkers and added some Lilac stickles. I’m leaving it without a sentiment for now so I can add one when I know who the card is going to be for!

A nice cup of tea!

I wanted to make a card for a female friend who is very supportive and we enjoy chatting over a cup of tea. I thought a vintage/ distressed look was appropriate. I thik this is real girl power- the support we give each other!

I used a LOTV die cut but added in some extra colour using Promarkers in a couple of places and added  Background too. Papers were from stash and the cream card at the back was coloured using brown distress ink as were the edges of the card and die cut.
The ribbon is a beautiful brown and beige.
Not a colour combination I use mch but I like it for this card!

Another Christmas card using a beautiful LOTV die cut with cute penguins holding their Let It Snow banner (can’t afford to get many stamps so these die cuts are great!) and LOTV Let It Snow sentiment stamped in red distress ink. I used sticky pearls for snowflakes and highlighted the snow and snowflakes on the sentiment with white stickles.

I’ve made my first snowflake embellishments using a snowflake punch on some shiny and frosted cards together. I took some left over flower pins from my wedding (from Michael Dark) and cut off the heads to fix to the middle of the snowflakes using glossy accents.
I also used left overorganza ribbon from the wedding.
