using up some leftovers

Hi you dont realise how much you accumulate when making cards printing out full A4 sheets then putting the excess to one side when finished so i have decided to start using some of it up so heres the first this one has strips of gold card attached from leftovers also used the cuttlebug to make some embellishments from small pieces the frame was just a one cut out a while back which hadn't been used

Anniversary card

Hi i had an Anniversary card to do for my cousin just a quick one using Joanna Sheens fashion boutique again matted and layered image on to gold card put the backing papers half and half with a few embellishments used a frame cut from robo just cut it up and used it along the seam of the papers

Any one for cake

Hi made this card with Joanna Sheens Fashion boutique cd i quite like these ones theres about 4 different of this type i just matted and layered one of the backing sheets onto gold card i used all of the sizes off the images printed on the sheet the larger image i covered with gold mirricard to act as a frame
cut one of the ladies out to lay on top to highten the image border peel offs were used to straighten the edges and added a bow and a gem for embellishment

another challenge

Hi heres my attempt at Wendy's 2nd challenge
the paper is a gold embossed paper from Crafters Companion the image is a one printed out from Joanna Sheens fashion boutique just cut a circle out of the full image as i already had a few printed off i then matted it onto a circular piece of gold card then using a different shade of gold card i cut a larger circle and embossed it with a cuttlebug folder the fan is a stitching peel off just attached to some paper with a clear butterfly attached

printing onto pearlescent paper

hi sorry about the glare backing sheets were printed out on pearlescent paper been using Joanna sheens fashion boutique cd again had to do another card for the birthday companions one more left to do for this month theres only one layer of decoupage on this one just to highten the lady a bit the paper was layered on top of each other no matting a few peel off borders used on edges and a frame from Mary's blog cut out with robo have added a bag embellishment but feel it needs something else not sure what yet

I love these frames

Hi just been making another card for the Birthday companions this time i took the image from Joanna Sheens Fashion Boutique cd and put it through the 3d cardbuilder 2 too do a pyrimage plus some backing papers i had came across a blog with some brilliant GSD files made by Mary

one was of some frames one of which i stretched to fit the image then cut on pink card with robo the card that was left over was used as a mat for one of the backing papers highlighted with some peel off borders and corners the greeting was some peel offs i got a while back i couldn't of asked for a better match just added a few pink gems which were on hand i really like these frames may be using them more often got a few more cards to do for this months birthdays spoilt for choice on which images to use

Fashion boutique cd plus a bit of robo

Hi ive got a few birthdays coming up on the crafters companion forum had a play with my new cd originally i was going to make a name edged card i cut with robo but it eventually ended up being glittered and used as part of the topper i had cut a layering mat one of the gsd files made by Erika off uk scrappers it was bigger than the image so had a brain wave to fold it back on itself and add some gems the Happy Birthday is also a gsd file cut and matted onto the same card and paper quite pleased with the result getting pushed off pc grandson wants to go on disney

Cuttlebug flower border dies

Hi didn't realise how long its been since my last post have only done the one card been feeling a bit down got to try and snap out of it
i made this card with some off cuts of card i had in my scrap box using the Glitter girls Romance board for embossing the shape of the card and the oval frame the image is off Joanna Sheens Victorian Birthdays Cd the backing paper is what was left from a card i made ages ago think its from Joanies psp site the flowers where made from one of the Cuttlebug border dies cut out in two different colours and intermixing them added some gems a bow and some peel offs just the box to do now

Hi not sure on this one i love the image its off JS victorian birthdays cd i matted and layered onto two tones of gold card wich one piece was embossed using the cuttlebug signature embossing folder the background paper is a gold foiled embossed sheet from Crafters Companion they do the A6 assorted designs pack in either gold or silver i had printed the backing paper out but it seemed a bit dark well a short post im afraid i should be sound asleep thanks for popping by and enjoy your sunday

Victorian Birthday

hi again thought it was time i started using some of me bits and pieces up this image and backing papers are from the Joanna Sheen Victorian Birthdays cd have quite a few different ones printed out dont know if other people are the same but when you first get a cd seem to print out more than you'll use first time then there left lying in a drawer instead of printing them out as needed so for this card i used both backing papers as you would paper a wall with a border across and the Image sheet which has a few different sizes on it the Border is one of the cuttlebug Border Dies i had a piece of black glitter card left over so cut it with that the Frame is what was leftover when the die was cut out just had too put the little strips across the joins of the three small images the larger image was just matted onto plain black card as was the white card with the greetings peel off on just realised havent used any border peel offs think thats a first for me lol thanks again for stopping by off for another play
