Treasure Island

 I created this card using Craft Artist with the pirate digi kit

I created the bacground from scratch using a shaped square along with the fill tool adding several colours  to give a tropical scene I added thr sun and used the glow effect and placed it behind the trees I then started to build my scene and added the front two pirates which were stickers to card cut them out and stuck them using foam pads

Monkey Business

 
I used Craft Artist to create this card along with The Zoo digi kit. For the background and font part of the greeting I used the special effects and turned it to wood the number two I used the metallic effect on.

I then reprinted the swinging monkey and the number two  to add dimension to the card and finished with a couple of googly eyes/

Pink Pearls and Bows

 
Grand daughters first birthday.
I used Craft Artist to create this card I used Nursery Rhyme Digital kit and the main image came from Crafters Companion Paintbox Poppets.

I printed out the main image from Craft Artist I used a round punch within the program to get the circle shape then cut it with the Beaded circle spellbinder die.

I created the background and greeting using the Nursery Rhyme digital kit I then added an organza ribbon bow and ruched a length up the side of the card and to finish I added a one, glitter and pink liquid pearls.

Beer and Music

 
 


I created this card using Craft Artist and used photo real images of beer caps  the actual image I stamped using Nostalgia pastimes by Papermania. I decided not to colour this in as I liked it just the way it was. I used Black and white card for the two mats and cut these using labels twenty five I used black soot ink on the white mat to bring the focus into the image. I placed the beer caps as a header and footer and printed the greeting under these

Potted Cyclamen

 
Another CD I have not used in a while Card Creations Aroma notes again I used my Craft Artist to design the background and a Floral font for the greeting which I coloured to match. I printed off a Stackapage from the CD and cut it out I matted it onto a dark raspberry card placed it onto the card using foam pads to give a bit of dimension then added a few swirls, sequins and dots to finish.

Grannies Button Box

 
 


I have had this CD and never used it until now there are some beautiful papers, images, etc on this CD I used the images through my Craft Artist I created the background and added the greeting matching up the colours I then added the boy and girl and a few other embellishments printed out the card then printed out the girl, boy and some buttons to add as decoupage

Nostalgic Bowls

                               

A card for an avid Bowls fanatic.
I used cream and brown A4 card stock. Papermania Nostalgia Stamps. So trendy M-bossabilities and one of the Fancy tags, Labels fourteen and Vintage photo ink.

I embossed a piece of card to sit down the middle of the card but before embossing it I used my inkpad on one side of the m-bossability to get the mottled effect, I then matted it onto brown card. I stamped out the greeting, the main image and stamped 50 down each side of the card . I cut the image using Labels fourteen and a larger one in brown card for the mat. cut the greeting with the fancy tag. I used the ink on the main image and the greeting before removing them from the die. then put the card together using glue for the main strip down the middle and foam tape for the image and greeting to give dimension to the finished card

Lacey delights (Spellbinders)

 

A fancy fold card inspired by Sue Wilson,

I decided to use Turquiose and white for this card and it was all done from A4 cardstock.


I used the Persian Dies Motifs and accents to create the main fancy fold instructions are on Sue's Blog.
I embossed one of the Persian accent dies along the edge rather than cut it.

Printed the greeting and cut it with a Damask accent die that reminds me of a fancy padlock. added a ribbon anf the numbers cut from a cuttlbug font set

A Great Gran's Flowery Explosion

 
This is an A4 Card I cut out the two mats in matching colours one plane and on a pearly card stock which I embossed. I rpinted the greeting direct to the card and the tag befor cutting it.

I used all my spellbinder flower and leaf dies with different shades of plain and patterned paper made up the flowers then decided which ones to use and were to place them.

I then used the romantic rectangle to cut the label also inking it before removing it from the die and made a treble bow. I stuck them using Glue gel. I finished with a few gems for the flower centers and a little glitter

A row of Flowers

    

This card I used my m bossibilities and spellbinder flowers and some inspiration from Sue Wilson.
I cut my 2 mats Deep lavender and pearl white to use with an A5 card I pin pricked the outer edge of the card with a Tim Holts ruler. I embossed the pearl white card and stuck it to the lavender card I then cut out my flowers and leaves four of each inked them while they were still in the dies Stamped the greetings and cut with a die inking before removing it from the die.

I chose two ribbons both in shades of lavenders aithough the colours do not look great in the pictures, I do appologise must get my lighting right.

I put the card together I'm really pleased with the final result.

Fluttering By with Spellbinders

 
 


I chose my colours white and Turquoise firstly I used several butterfly dies from different sets for this card and one was large enough to stamp the greeting on to, I used "Beautiful Wishes" stamp collection from Creative Expressions and another for the birthday age.

I embossed the top matt with an M bossibilities rounded the corners and cut a slightly larger matt in a Turquoise card I used Vellum in the same colour as a ribbon around the center of the card. I finished with three gems and some faux stitching around the edge of the card using a Sakura glitter pen.

Wiered Science

I created this card from Craft Artist and the Steampunk Inventor digi kit and a few embellishments from one of the other steampunk digi kits. I'm trying to get a look of mad scientist/inventor as the card if a student going to do his PHD in one of the sciences. Hence the bottles and vials on the shelves which i placed and grouped so that I could move them to where I wanted.

I finished by glazing the bottles but this was done as an after thought and after the photos were taken

I wanted to play with Colours in Craft Artist particularly Pinks, Oranges & Greens. I decided t9o use Ladies Night and Botanique Digi Kits they had the colours I liked. I created the background Ribbons, Buttons, Materials and flourish with Botanique and the rest from Ladies Night I designed the brushed and lipstick pots using materials from Botanique placed the ribbons on the card along with the flourish I added the brushes, lipsticks and placed them behind the pots. I used the buttons and added a gem between them and personalised with a name. I added the text and added a few more faux pearls which i re coloured using the fill tool I finished by adding ear rings I printed the card. I then removed all the layers except the buttons and one earring which i then printed again to use as decoupage. I added glaze to these then put the card together.
