Happy 50th Birthday Saavy!

Hey, here is my Dad's 50th Pirate themed Birthday card (he loves Pirate of the Caribbean). I made it this morning as I thought I should probably get a move on as his Birthday is on Saturday!...Happy Birthday Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started by colouring the image in with my promarkers and edging it with black ink. I backed this image with two different brown papers. I edged the backing card with brown ink and covered it with a creamy browny paper.
For the map backing, I printed a map onto printable fabric and stuck this onto card. I then used matches burnt two of the sides to give it a piraty effect! I edged the other two side with black ink to match the burnt sides. I attached this onto the backing card and attached my image on the right side of the card. I then used gold chipboard letters to spell DAD in the bottom left of the card. I stick 50! onto cream card and daubed the card brown; I raised this up onto the top left side of the card. To finish, I raised a skull and crossbones overlapped onto the 50! and attached a brad into the top corner of the image.

Scarcrow Fall

Here is an autumn card I made using my new stamps that I won from winning a DRS designs challenge.

I stamped both the scarecrow and sentiment and coloured the scarecrow using my promarkers. I then edged the sentiment with orange ink and the scarecrow with gold ink. I backed the image with green card and the sentiment with green then yellow card.

I edged the backing card with yellow ink and covered it with orange holographic card. I covered the backing with two pieces of stripy orange and green ribbon. I attached my image and sentiment onto the card at angles and embellished it with gold fabric leaves. To finish, I then attached two embossed gold leaves from my stash.

Mousy Birthday Wishes

Hey, here is a quick card I made for my music lecturer at uni; shes great and has been so helpful, she will love this card!

I stamped the wooden Penny Black stamp and coloured it using my promarkers; my lecturer will love the different coloured mice :) I then edged it with turquoise ink and backed it with dark blue card. I covered the backing card with musical instrument paper and a strip of turquoise card down the side. I covered the bottom of the image backing with turquoise musical ribbon and attached the image at an angle onto the card. I raised a 'Birthday Wishes' greeting backed with dark blue card onto the top left corner of the card. I embellished it with four blue brads in the corners and musical note stickers overlapped onto the edge of the image.

Time To Call Tech Support

Hey, here is a card I made for the company I worked for over the summer. Vebox limited is my cousins business and I have had a great time working with them; for any computer parts you need take a look at their website: http://www.vebox.com/. - Thanks guys!!!! :D

I decided to make them a computer card with two Doodle Pantry digi images which mum hasn't used yet ;) I coloured the two images using copics markers (I left my promarkers at uni lol) and edged them with yellow ink.

I then backed them both with turquoise ink from mums scraps box and attached a strip of multicoloured beads across the bottom of the images. I used blue card for the base card and turquoise spotty/stripy paper for the backing which I also edged with yellow ink.
I made a tag from yellow card onto which I mounted my sentiment (also from doodle pantry). To this I added different coloured card candy and turquoise and brown spotty ribbon. I then raised the tag onto the centre of the card.
I added two corners to my images that I found im mums stash and also two yellow gems to the corners of the card.

Pink Ribbon Creation

Hey, here is a card I made to support the Link up for Pink challenge. We got the template from a craft show and I've been wanting to try it.

Firstly I backed the card with pink paper which I edged with pink ink. I then tied pearlescent pink ribbon down the side of the card. I cut the size of my template onto white card and edged the with pink ink before backing it onto pale pink card. I attached this to my card and layed the template over the top. I then used Hotfix Rhinestones and Pearls together with the Hotfix applicator to make the breast cancer ribbon logo. To finish, I stamped 'The Power of Pink' sentiment into white card with a boarder around it and cut this into a circle. To finish I inked this with pale pink ink and raised it up off centre of my card.

Best Friends Until Forever

Hey, made this card to write a note in for my friend who is away at university. I stamped the image at a friends house as I thought it was very cute :)

I stamped the image which contained the sentiment and coloured it using my promarkers. I then cut it into a scalloped boarder and edged it with pink ink. I cut a second scalloped backing for the image from yellow paper.
I used a scalloped edged card blank which I backed with pink paper and then stripey paper. I tied yellow spotty ribbon down the side of the card and attached pink flowery ribbon across the bottom. I attached a yellow and pink flower with smaller rose flowers in the centre to the bottom of the card and two pink gems to the corners of the yellow backing. To finish, I cut two butterflies from metallic pink card and slotted them onto the image corner and yellow backing...simple but lovely!

Balloon Love

Hey, here is a card I made with a free stamp I won at a show :) It also matches the DRS Designs challenge which is balloons.
I stamped the gorjuss image and coloured it using my promarkers. I kept the colour scheme to blue as this is one of my favourite colours. I cut the image into an oval, sanded the edge and inked it blue. I then cut a blue spotty paper for the backing of my card and inked the edge dark blue.
I then embossed a piece of dark blue card with a circles embossing folder. I then backed this with silver card and sanded the edge of both before inking them blue. I attached my image and then made a blue bow for the bottom right hand corner. I added a 'With Love to You' sentiment backed with pale blue and raised this up in the top left corner. To finish, I added four silver circle embellishments with blue star card candy in the centre of two of the circles.
