Summer in Paris

Got the cart Summer in Paris and had to try the 3d stuff. Light card and very quick but it should get better. It will look nice in the village I am planning. Ok I have added the other stuff I did on the summer in Paris cart. Not sure what I will do with this yet.

Note to me:- I am not happy about the cuts as they are a bit scrappy looking. The poodle turned out the best when I used a lighter weight paper for the top and altered the speed to low and the cut depth to 3 and the pressure to med. The background cuts well as it is solid but the lacy things need a bit more care and attention

Judys diaper Cake 1 of 3

Click on the title ie "Judys Diaper cake" at the top to watch the video
or click this pic

The diaper cake for Judy. the fairy godmothers are from HEA the arch is an unwound coathanger so I could attach the fairies. 3 layers of diapers rolled and ribboned. the babies are from EDPD's and I have used them to crawl round the ribbon. Placed on a large cryatal plate round the base is the fairies wishes for my granddaughter and daughter "Make all your wishes come true" from doodletype. the fairies are layers on the charm base so I could hang them and I have layered both sides of the fairies so they can be viewed from both sides by flipping the layers. Once done I needed sparkle so I used glitter and added glitter to the fairies. The pics don't show it as well as it looked but she loved it and so did I.

ATC for swap sisters

My first ATC for swap sisters challenge. Boy theme, background template scalloped octogan, ink colour SU Brilliant Blue, sentiment from LIAB cricut and SU Best Yet, Paper embellishment paper doll, 3D object blue button smilie and waves.

Mothers day

Well Mothers day rolls around again and I decided to do a pot of flowers. flowers from AE, Lady bugs from WIMG and bee from (oh thank God for Gypsy where I don't have to find the cartridges all the time I just word search. The pot is from a piece of callendar that had a garden theme. the box I made to put the card in and the top is pop dotted. The sentiment is stamped and then embossed in gold. Again it les flat in the box but stands up propprd by the sentiment to show a pot of flowers.

Get Well soon

A good friend is not so well so I have made her this card. Thank goodness for the gypsy. I used multiple carts. Doodle Charms lady bug, gyspy wanderings leaves, WIMG pot and ladybug, AE flowers, sentimentals bee, home decore more leaves. the flowers are put together three together and then an eyelet through the centre. the flower petals have been glitter glued or stickled. the sentiments are done with spellbinders nestabilities and stamped with a variety of stamps. My card was sort of the gift as when you open the card it stands up like a pot of flowers so I made a small card as well the sentiment inside is from SU If nothing ever changed there would be no butterflies" I stamped it with butterflies and used spellbinders to make the outside and used ribbon to compliment the front.

Well no card is complete without an envelope but it just didn't fit so I made a box. I have been practicing an origami type method where most of it is folded and crossed this with boxmaking from crafters companion and decided on the size and made it. the difference with this box is that the sides are folded over making it a bit stronger. I made the bottom first them added about 3/8-1/2 inch for the lid and it worked out quite well. I used a pretty paper for the top and a plain paper for the bottom. A double sided paper would also look good but what I did was put the lid under the box so the inside was coloured and the lid showed on the outside and then stood the card up inside the box. It worked out well and the 3d effect looked good.

My cards always have hidden meanings the flowers are a gift they are pretty and colourful, the lady bugs are the "get well bug" and the butterfly for the flight to wellness. The bee to bee better soon.

Angela's birthday

for Angela a bag for her birthday, Bag from TBBM lettering from BL frame from another cart. TGF gypsy.

Happy Birthday Lisa

Lisa is the daughter of a friend and went to school with my daughter and they went to pony club together. Alough they both still ride Lisa does Jousting so for her birthday card I decided to do this card for her. EDPD comes to the fore again with the little people and the horse and the arches. the tree is from another cart but can't remember which one as I used the tree on another card and for this I used the outline and sponged the tree through using it as a stensil. It looked a bit bare so I stamped it as well. the footprints are a roll stamp from a wombat footprint and the for you and HB stamps are from SU.

Happy easter to clients and staff

Well easter is here and although eggs are not supposed to be till Sunday I wasn't going to see these people on Sunday so I decided to make some easter baskets and take them into work for the clients and the staff. Each basket is about 2 inches high and has just one very small egg. The cut is from cricut TBBM and the handle is made from curling ribbon which nicely held in place poked through the little handle holes in the box cut. The stamp is from stampin up. All but one I decorated as the above ones but one for a special client who was allowed to go out for several hours I attached 2 of my paper dolls one a nurse and one a doctor. The theory being he could now go out on leave as he had a doctor and a nurse to look after him.
