La Pashe

Hi all,

Here's a La Pashe card I have to share with you!

This is made using the Floral Decoupage Range. 

I cut out the decoupage & layerd it with some Pinflair Glue

The image was originally square with a frame around it but I trimmed it down

to a rectangular shape then added a plain pink mat behind it.

The card base is 7x7"

I trimmed a piece of design paper which matches the image & added a

mat of plain pink paper with a punched boder on either side behind

Next I added a doily, then the image on top.

The sentiment was also from the decoupage sheet & matches beautifully.

I popped that up for some added dimension & added a sheer ribbon double bow 

with a heart shaped button at the centre.

Here's a little side view which shows the dimension a little bit better.

Here's a little heads up!

La Pashe are on Create & Craft TV today at 10am & 2pm

You can catch them on 

Freeview 36, Sky 674, Virgin 748 & Free Sat 813

There's a brand new range offer today, exclusive to Create & Craft 

until 25th May & I'm sure there will be a bargain or two to be had!

Thanks for having a peek at my little card! I hope you like it!

Hi all,

Here's a simple little card I made a little while back but never managed to blog!

I was asked to make a selection of Birthday cards for a friend,

The image I've used is from The Crafty Pad Designs who are no longer operating but

some of the artists designs are available at Card Making Downloads

The image has been lightly coloured with my promarkers, cut out with a Spellbinders die,

then inked whilst still in the die using some distress inks.

The papers I've used are from my scraps & the sentiment was done

on the pc then cut with a Spellbinders die too.

The narrow ribbon & bead embellishments are from a reel of 

gift wrapping ribbon which I got at Lidl.

The sheer ribbon bow is from my stash!

I've been playing with my Washi Tape again!

I just love the stuff! Fantastic for doing a card in a flash!

The sentiment was simply printed from my PC then 

I added the washi tape & a trio of buttons. The colours are 

actually a closer match in real life but the camera just wouldn't

capture that! This card was ready in under 10 mins!

Hello

 Hi everyone,

 I'm back again, can you believe it?

I have two cards to share with you today, both CAS!

The first is an A6 Kraft base.

I embossed two lots of two lines, not sure they're showing very well in the photo.

I then wrapped some some button twine around & tied in a bow.

I added a die cut flower & hello, are from some lovely blog candy that I got

a while back, from the lovely CG. I've used some of the bits & pieces 

up  already but still have lots left!

I rounded the corner with a woodware punch & added a panel inside

for a message to be written on.

I added a couple of embossed lines at the bottom

then created a border using a Sakura Stardust gel pen.

I tried lots of other little embellishments, but on my way home from

work I had a lightbulb moment & decided to use buttons.

The best colour match were these little heart buttons which I've had

in my stash for ever. It was a tiny little packet, with 3 different sizes

& they seem to be never ending! lol

Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes

Scrapbooker PhD - Focus on A Sentiment

Flights Of Fancy

Hi everyone, hope your week is going well so far!

It's time for my DT Inspiration for the latest challenge over at 

The Crafting Cafe

I've made a little A6 CAS card!

I've used two of the images kindly supplied by this mont's sponsor

Dr Digi's House Of Stamps

The first image is Captain Thunderpants, the second, which I've cropped into the

call out bubble is Phyllis the Festive Fairy.

Captain Thunderpants has a flight of fancy that he & Phyllis will

one day fly of into the wild blue yonder together...........

although I'm not sure how Phyllis would feel about that if she knew!

I used my Promarkers & flexmarkers to colour up the images.

The sentiment is printed using a free font called winged.

I used a picket fence die to cut along the top of the image panel.

I also added the strip that was left along the top of the card.

Not sure why, I just liked the effect!

I added a panel to the inside which wat die cut with a Spellbinders Rectangle 

Hope to see you over at The Crafting Cafe!

I'd like to enter this card in a couple of challenges:

 a Happy Birthday peel off & gems to embellish.

The decoupage & sentiment were mounted on foam tape for some dimension

A get well card, again using items from my stash.

Finally a little Thank You card.

I used the lace for a bunting effect, matted the decoupage on to a Spellbinders 

die cut oval which I had inked with Spun Sugar & Milled Lavender Distress inks.

The sentiment is die cut & I added a little sparkle using a 

Sakura Clear Star gel pen.
