Comissioned Wedding card

Afternoon everyone, what a glorious day where having today here in Liverpool. I however, am stuck in doors as I am having central heating fitted and have got 2 workmen in an out all day so its very noisy here today so not much crafting getting done as I cant concentrate. On a lighter note I made this wedding card and wanted to share it with you.

The image is from Papercraft Inspirations and was a free download advertised in the mag a few months back. I used My craft studio to resize the image and then mounted it for some mat and layering. I used my robo to cut out the 'me & mrs' which i then glittered to give the card some glitz. Again I have made some paper roses using one of the backing papers so they would match and again I have glittered them

Let me know what you think.

New jars for my paper roses

Evening, I said I would show you my new jars to keep my Paper roses in so here they are.

They are from asda and cost me £3 and I just love them. Ive added the ribbon just to finish them off. Id made loads of these roses so needed somewhere to put them. I have been making more in other colours today to fill more jars as I just love how they look on my 'spare' craft desk.

Bargain I reckon.

Off to visit some more blogs now.

Football Commissioned card

Good Afternoon all, hope your all enjoying your Sunday. Im taking a break from cleaning the house to have a spot of lunch and catch up on some blog hopping and wanted to share with you a card I made on Friday. It was a commissioned card for a friend I used to work with. It is her sisters 21st Birthday this weekend and she is a massive Evertonian so she wanted a footy card, however I have made everton cards for her in the past so wanted something a bit different and a bit special. Let me know what you think.

I used My Craft Studio to resize and tile the everton badge image whifh i got from google images, this makes up the backing paper. I then printed out the badge 5 times and cut it up to make a decoupaged badge for inside the rosette. The rosette is made with stripes of ribbon cut at approx 5cm and just stuck to the back of a scalloped circle which I cut on my cricut.

I used my Robo to cut the '21 today' (as my cricut has broken and is being sent off for repair *sob sob*).

This is a close up of some of my paper roses I made to go with this project, i just love how these look and at how easy they are to make. I have added some glitter but the pic doesnt do it justice.

Ill be back later with a picture of my new 'jars' which I am using to store all my paper roses in as I sat making a load of these friday night when my virgin went off.

Any comments really appreciated

Birthday 'card' for my Sister

Good afternoon ladies, just wanted to share with you this lovely 'card' I have made for my sisters birthday today. I saw this on another lovely blog HERE and this is my take on it.

This is the side view of the outside. I have used lots of different patterned papers from the forever friends 6x6 packs and the Fizzy Moon celebratiuons 6x6 pack.

This is the front view and I have used a die cut Tatty Ted which I coloured with my promarkers.

This is when I have untied the ribbon and it startes to open out.

This is it fully opened out. Again I have used more of the patterned papers to decorate the inside. I have also used some die cuts and decoupage from the Me to you bumper collection pack. I have used some flowers from my stash from Pink Gem Designs which I coloured in using my promarkers to match the colours in the papers. I have also added some flat back gems to give it a little bit of bling.

 Just a close up view so you can see the toppers a bit better

This is a close up view of my handmade roses I have included this as I am entering this into the challenges over at Papertake Weekly which is - 'grow your own', they wnat to see handmade flowers on your projects this week. I have layered up the flowers on the inside and coloured them in to make them my own BUT these roses I have masde from scratch.

I hope you like it and any comments greatly appreicated

Popcorn the Bear Engagement card

My next door neighbours have just recently got engaged so I thought I would make them a card and I have used the Popcorn Bear Romance Cd Rom.

I have used 2 different backing papers and a pryamage image. The sentiment is from the Papercraft library vol 3 Violet collection. The gold mirror board is from my stash.

Let me know what you think
