Popcorn Anniversary Card

Morning Everyone, 

This is a card I have made for my Husbands Aunt and Uncle who are celebrating their wedding anniversary today.

The image is from the Popcorn Bear Romance Collection by Crafters Companion 

I have stamped the image up using Stazon, and colored in using Lyra Water colours. I have not used these for a while and after colouring in this image I can say that I have missed them, Promarkers are easier to use as they blend quicker but water colours give a nice soft edge to the image. 

So the card is covered with a backing paper that I believe I got free in a magazine so I don't know what it is called or who does it, this has been edged with gold peel offs. On top of this I have put a cut out of a flower frame, chalked this to match the card blank colour, I have then used an Organza Red ribbon and ran this up the card and finshied with a bow using the same ribbon.

The image has been matted onto cream card blank and in the four corners I have used red gems to give the look of brads and to add a bit of glam to the image. 

The card has been finished with a handmade flower I have created using the Cricut Machine and a sentiment of "Happy Anniversary" the topper has been finished nicely with the hearts and the edge of the rose, having a bit of glitter added to them.

Tatty Ted Anniversary Card

Morning Everyone, 

Today's card is another anniversary card, this time I have used Tatty Ted to create the main image. 

The card is on a blue base card as close to Tatty Teds nose colour as I could get, and then using various backing papers mounted on to pearled grey card, the main image has been backed on to Silver Mirror card to give it a bit of sparkle. In one corner of the card I have made a rosette and in another corner I have placed three blue gems. The sentiment Happy Anniversary Mam and Dad is cut out using the Cricut machine and is out of the same grey card as the backing to the papers.  Tatty Ted has been stamped using Memento ink called London Fog, the only extra colouring in I have done is to the patch and the paws and I used a grey Promarker for this and coloured his nose in using a various blues again from the Promarker collection.

So the card I made is a Christmas card, the card is a square white card blank with a black matting covered with a white backing paper with black and gray dots and squares on, then onto that I have placed a ribbon down the edge and a tiny piece of ribbon put into a not at the top. On top of this mat and layer I have created a further black and white layer with the white being embossed through the Cuttlebug machine.  The main image is cut from the Cricut machine using the Home Decor cartridge.

The sentiment is a Peel Off that was coloured in using a black pro marker, and to give the card a bit of bling. I have used some gems on the topper to give it the wow factor.

Fizzy Moon - Thinking of You Card

Morning Everyone, 

Today is my first ever card I have made using Fizzy Moon, the card is for a friend of mine who is having a hard time with her knee, so thought I would send her something to make her smile.

The card is again based on spring/summer colours so again for this card I have chosen yellow as my theme. 

To start the card I have used a cream a4 base card folded in half, with half the page covered in a spare piece of backing paper I have had which is from the Messy Rabbit CD Collection by Joanna Sheen. 

The image is stamped using Pro marker pens, and then matted onto a loop square that has been cut using the Cricut Expression Machine and the Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art Cartridge, the flower was also cut from the same cartridge, the leaves have been cut from Stretch your Imagination, and the flower was finished off with a brad in the center and funky foam twisted and heated into a spiral. 

For the Sentiment "Flowers for you" this was stamped onto a cream tag. 

To finish the card I have placed a  band of cream ribbon across the join of the backing paper and the card, and finished it with three yellow gems, and I have used Glossy Accents on the bears nose and the center of the flowers.

The card is an A5 card blank in a cream/yellow colour, half the card is covered in backing paper with yellow flowers and purple bows on it. I went for this backing paper to pull the purple out from her top. The image is stamped and coloured in using Promarker pens and then mounted onto a Nestabilitie Die, which has been chalked in green. The card is finished with a bow, gems, a handmade flower and a greeting made from the Cricut Machine using Create a Critter saying "Happy Birthday"

Bah Humbug Challenge - Going Green

Morning Everyone,

Wow I have just got this card finished photographed and uploaded to the site in time. 

This card is for this weeks challenge on the Bah Humbug blog for the challenge "Going Green"

Here is what I did.

The card is an A4 Dark Green card blank, with a piece of backing paper I saved from a magazine, this is matted onto the green card and finished with a gold peel off (actually it is the left over section from a peel off) the topper is a Sugar Nellie stamp called Winter Wonderland, I have coloured it in using Pro Marker Pens. The image is matted onto green card stock the same colour as the base and again edged with the left over peel offs, I have then matted this onto cream card stock, which is recycled from a card that went wrong. The card is then finished with a bow, a sentiment I pinched from a Christmas card I received last year (don't worry it was originally a shop bought card) and the stars are what was left from the confetti I had on my Christmas table last year.

When I first found out it was recycling a little grown come from me, but as soon as I started looking in my box, loads of stuff come pouring out, so if I actually think about it the only thing that is brand new is the stamped image, and the bow.
