Fantasy

This is the card I have made for MTTC challenge, fantasy was the theme this time and I didn't really know what to do. My daughter who will be 23 this month loves fairies and the colour purple, I killed two birds with one stone so to speak.
This card is simply matts and layers, I used a die for the shape where I stamped the fairy and the sentiment. I used a distress ink to go around the edges of the shapes and also on the patterened paper. The first layer I used a punch to give the bottom a decorative edge. I made a smaller matt with a contrasting paper placed all the layers together then tied ribbon around it before placing it on the base card which is 8x8. To finish I added a few gems.

Especially for you

This card took me a little while to make but I really enjoyed making it. I got the idea here, it is such a lovely design of card and I will be saving it for my mum's birhtday in October. I used my patchwork polly stamps designed by Jayne Nestorenko. To start I made the folded part as per instructions on the link, I then used the triangle stamps images in the patchwork polly range which fit just perfect in the smaller sections. The larger triangles and the band on the front off the card are made as per instructions. I used co-ordinating papers from my crafty stash and coloured Olivia to tone in with my chosen papers. I then added the decorative piece of card in the centre to be able to add a verse. To finish I placed  blue paper onto on an 8x8 card trimmed it with peel-offs added card candy and a sentiment. I am entering this card into the challenge on Jayne's website.

Popcorn, just for you

I am entering this card into Ruby's Rainbow challenge. It is a very simple card as you can see I started with a 6x6 base card and I cut 2 matts in brown card and 2 layers in backing paper. The backing paper layers are slightly smaller than the brown matts. After placing both layers of paper onto the brown card I used peel-off corners and borders, something I haven't used in a long time. I then stamped out popcorn and coloured before placing him onto my card I then cut him out leaving a small border then used foam pads to raise him slightly from the card.

Embossed design

My base card is A5 and I started off with black I then cut a smaller piece of white card, and a smaller piece in pink and layered these two together. I then embossed a strip of white card with an embossing folder and used a die border to frame the strip. Once this was in place I thread pink and black ribbon through the border and fastened it at the back of the white layer, this was then placed onto my base card. I cut a corner to match the border and also used one of the larger dies from the same set, to finish I stamped a sentiment onto a circle and inked the edges before placing it onto my card.
