Baby Love

A baby shower card!  Again I used MCS to create the background  in pale lemon also the photo was from MCS.
I used my Lacey Oval as a backing for the photo, which I turned to a black and white I used the Cuttle bug Baby wording die the the greetings in lemon and finished with three little lemon rose buds, lemon organza bows and some little gems

Two lacey Thank yous

 

Playing with my Spellbinders again and patiently awaiting my next big delivery of two POTWs from C&C has given me the inspiration to create some more cards.

I used a florals MCS to create the back ground images. then set about enhancing this with the Lacey Ovals I stamped my greeting first and scattered straw to colour the inner edges of the smallest oval and crushed olive on the other. I also used the corners from the Parisian Accents to even up the the layout. I finished with some ribbon rose buds, a bow and finally glittering the leaf trails on the background.

Polka Doodles

I wanted to do some grunge

What better to use that Polka Doodles Pretty Tuff I love Nikki Halls images and backing papers. I layered two of the papers but use MCS to print the birthday greeting and Footy Fan message. used the same papers again to make the smaller mat but grouped them together before printing also the sentiment I coloured to match the card and printed out the footballer. I used small die around the footballer so had to cut around his foot and lifter out of the die before cutting so he looks like he is running off the shaped mat. I finished with a decoupage football a mixture of fired brick and Black soot distress ink around the edges of the layers

Setting the scene with My Craft Studio

 This is CD crafting, I've had this CD but this is the first time I've used the images and not added any other embellishments if you know what I mean.

You are able to choose your own background and add extras into the foreground. the fence and dog are decoupaged and I printed the greeting directly onto the card along with the background.

There are a  load of images to choose from it really is a brilliant CD and the software MCS professional is a great programm and so easy to use.

Playing with my spellbinders again!         I came up with this baby card.I used Sue Wilson's idea                                I saw her demonstrate on C&C she has now posted a tutorial for it (fancy nesty tutorial) it looks difficult but its not I used the large picote edge circle die to creat the centre piece a smaller one for the Babies name.   My See Dees Cute & Cuddly stamps for the background inside and outside the card in pale shade of blues, then added Glitter , ribbon anf a little gem.

 

Invitation for an 18th

Some samples I did for an 18th a girl who loves shoes.

I used a variety of dies the heart was a sizzix, 18 cuttlebug,  the gothic accent was spellbinder shapability which I have used on the first two cards, the shoe is a punch that also had a handbag with it

You can see on the middle card I used the left over peice of the handbag as a stencil and added a gem. the last card I used a stamp by Anita

Pear Anniversay

Back to my Spellbinders and Grand Callibur! I chose a pearly coloured card for the card and the dies as a tone on tone style. I printed the greeting then used pearl embossing powder.
The Dies i used were Edgibilities Classic Bracket to create the boarders.
Marianne creative die twice to get the fancy outer mat.
Beaded Circles for the base of the decoupage to which I added liquid pearls.
I used the little heart cutouts as extras around the dies

Gardening Man

Again staying a male theme This is card I used Do crafts forever friends CD with MCS I added the persons name to the hat printed out the Decoupage added the greeting to the seed stick. The background I got from setting the scene from MCS cut out the decoupage and put it all together. this was an easy card to make as the My Craft Studio software is very easy to use

Its A Mans World

Staying with a Man theme, I used my Its a mans world Stamps paper pieced the chair and coloured the rest with Pro markers I masked this and used Boys Toys ( See Dees stamps ) for the bike in the background the wine bottle and glass I stamped coloured and cut out.

I printed the card useing MCS for the greeting and Bike background then faded it out slightly.
Spellbinders Fleur De Lis rectangle was used for my Stamped image also the Buckle and the lets celebtrate message was embossed with Forever friends embossing strips on Co ordinations card and sanded back.

I can recomend the Its A Mans World Stamps by Paper Mania there are 3 in the set and covers everything in a quirky way.
