Happy Birthday

Summer is well and truly summer here in Queensland and many of our flowers are in bloom.

For this card I used the MFT hibiscus and fancy flourish die-namic to create the flower. The stamp is the free on that I received last month. The papers are from DCWV citrus stack and is one of my favourites, although I have used the red card the photo shows up a bit pink.

 I even splashed out and created something for the inside of the card using MFT layered label die-namic.

I started out using a MFT sketch but altered it to fit the stamp used.
Inspiration : MFTWSC101

Supplies: 
Stamps: Papermania strictly party stamp, MFT Big Greetings
Paper: DCWV citrus paper stack, cream card stock
Other: Oval & oval scallop nestabilities, hot glue, copic pens, MFT die-namics, forever in time glitter gems

Classy and Fabulous

I am always on the lookout for stamps that make great cards suitable for young adults. I couldn't believe my luck when this stamp came free with the docrafts creativity magazine, in fact the set contained 8 free stamps. The text is also new and will go with a lot of my other stamps it is from Art Impressions girlfriends range.

Card Challenge: C4C164 - Put a bow on it

Supplies:
Stamps: Papermania strictly party stamps, Artimpressions
Paper: DCWV citrus stack, cream base card
Other: cuttlebug embossing folder, nestabilities, ribbon, button, copic pens, MFT crown border die-namic

Oval Gate fold

 I had so much fun creating this card after watching the video tutorial on Dawns Stamping Studio

 The front stamp is from Magenta. I made the flower using the spellbinders poinsetta die, I placed pearls in the centre and on the bottom corner.

 The ovals were cutout using nestabilites oval dies.

the stamp inside is from papermania.

Out of this world

This card was made for my brother in laws 50th birthday, we gave him a gift voucher for 5 laps in a V8 race car.

The layout for this card  depended on the designer paper, I wanted the words out of this world as a focal point. I wanted to add some embellishments, but didn't have any in a motor car theme, so I made my own.

I started out with a piece of black card and ran it through the cuttlebug clockworks embossing folder. I chose a few focal points and cut them out. The car is from Papermania Nostalgia classic car set, I have coloured it with copic pens. Along the top I cut out a strip of designer paper, I just loved the words very suitable if you are thinking of doing an extreme thing.

Trust that little voice in your head that says

" Wouldn't it be interesting if..." and then do it
