Dress cards

I’m always trying to come up with new ideas for dress cards, as they are very popular for teenage girls. For these ones I hand cut the dresses from October Afternoon “thrift shop”paper and used the same collection on the backgrounds. the rest of the cards were made up with assorted buttons,ribbon,flowers and lace. The tags on two of the cards are Melissa Frances mini flashcards. I have finished my birthday book, just waiting for a template for the actual pages, and then I’ll be in business! Til tomorrow…..

Lush

Todays card uses My Minds Eye Lush papers and brad, stampin Up cardstock – Riding hood red, and basic black, a metal Tim Holtz flower, some black ribbon and a martha stewart punch. The paper is flocked so its wonderfully tactile. We had a cardmaking afternoon over at mums today, although I was making a Birthday book. Something different for me, but nice to have a change from cards! Til tomorrow…..

Todays cards use my new Cricut cartridge – Wild Cards. This is a great cartridge as it cuts all sorts of shaped cards,but as usual I haven’t had time to really play with it yet. However I have managed to make these two cupcake cards with it. I also used assorted stampin Up cardstock, and lots of glitter and bling!Til tomorrow…..

1 card 5 colourways!

Tonights group of cards were done for an order – my lady wanted the same card, with 5 different colours. Stampin up Elements of style stamp set was perfect for this, and it was quite an interesting project. I used stampin up cardstock, and a little ribbon and a bit of Kindyglitz. I coloured the stamped images with stamp pads and an aquabrush ( my favourite way of colouring images) . I think I like the orange one best – what do you think? Til tomorrow……

Bubblegum Hills

Todays cards were made using Kaisercrafts release for last month – Bubblegum Hills Paper and matching chipboard. This is great paper for teen girls, with lots of different designs in the one paper pad. I’ve been busy this week making Mothers day cards, but tonight I’m going to do some stamping with my new Bo bunny stamps and papers, just for a change! I have also got an idea for a new cuttlebug card design which I’m going to try out. Til tomorrow…..
