Drawer Easel

I saw this design of easel card on another blogger's post and thought it a great idea.  So I had a play with my score board and came up with this little oblong drawer box to sit an easel card on top. . .

. . . The backing paper, shaper and gorgeous birthday girl graphic are from theclipartfairy.

I printed off sufficient of the graphic to layer up and also printed a smaller easel shaper to use as the stop for the easel.  I computer generated the sentiment, added the stop to the box with tiny pearl brads, also same brad for drawer "handle".  Edged the top of drawer with silver peel-offs to hide join in backing papers, glamour dusted and tiny flower heads added to give some sparkle.

You can see from the first pic, I've added lining to the drawer and inserted the message for the recipient.

For my first attempt at this kind of card, I am pleased with the end result.

Country Chic!

I've made this gorgeous card for one of my special customers, it's for her friends little granddaughter who's going to be 3 very soon.

I've used some "Country Chic" graphics from one of my favourite sellers of clip art - theclipartfairy. Wendy has some great graphics and digi stamps over on her page, you must visit.  She also produces some really great cd rom's (I have almost all of them) and these are the ones I use the most. 

The little pic on the right shows close up of the gorgeous country chic graphic - isn't she cute?

The pic on the left shows close-up my little bow on a bow, finished off with a tiny pearl flower head.

I've glamour dusted around the letters in Ava, and the number 3, also I've used clear nail varnish to give a shine to the little girls dress and shoes and her little hair bow.

I love this card especially as green is a favourite of mine, so clean and fresh.  Hope the little girl likes it too.

Card for My Daughter - Nicola

This is a card for my daughter, Nicola's birthday. Nicola is expecting her 2nd daughter at the end of June and I wanted to make a special card for her.

I've used all elements from Double Sprinkles of Kraft by Polkadoodles for this card.  The tree stump, toadstools, flowers and the gorgeous girl graphic have been decoupaged to give some dimension.

The lovely turquoise backing paper is from a local craft shop and has glistening random lines all over which do show up on the pic, I've used  my cuttlebug to make the oval and computer generated the wording.  Added a little pearl to the i in Nicola and some glamour dust.

I've added some lovely paper flowers by Fizzy Moon, layered them and added little pearls to the centre of each.  A nice sheer white bow to the top left, with a little silver heart charm, glamour dusted here and there and I'm really pleased with the result.

The pic on the left shows the decoupage close-up which adds depth to the card.

Gone Fishin!!!

This lovely card is for a man's 60th birthday . . . I've used some lovely fishing graphics, added the recipients name and 60th peel-offs .

I've used some lovely glamour dust on the fishes which gives a lovely glistening to the scales (sadly doesn't show up too well on pic), added some silver 'line' to the rod which gives the illusion of the fish being caught on the end of the rod.  Decoupaged to give dimension and depth finishes off this card perfectly.

Treasure Map

Yet another 8" square card (I like doing the bigger cards) - this time for a boy obviously.  I've used elements associated with pirates and treasure - map and scroll, anchor and treasure box.  The rope around the anchor and around the treasure map have been heat embossed with gold embossing powder, also same with the gems in the treasure chest.

Computer generated sentiment and the recipients name have been added to the scroll (which could stand alone as a card in its own right).

Secret Slider Message Card

This lovely card is made using elements from my
Double Sprinkles of Kraft CD from Polkadoodles.
It's been layered and decoupaged using one of the gorgeous coloured stampie girl images which are really lovely to use.

The sentiment is taken from another Polkadoodles CD - Back to Nature, which I also love to use.
As you will see opposite, the middle section with the little ribbon pull is actually hidden behind the girl graphic and when ribbon pulled, out comes the little girls's name and her age, complete with a little butterfly and tiny golden hearts.

Sleepy Bear

Hiya All, back in business with blog again after not being able to add pics again - don't know why it keeps happening but glad to be back!

This lovely large 8" square card is made using Plush Pals CD Rom that I've had for a while but don't use that much (I tend to favour others before this one).

I've decoupaged the bear image to add dimension and added a white and pink ribbon printed with little pink paw prints.

Sentiment added and glamour dusted finishes off this card to my satisfaction.
