Golden Wedding........

This is a card I was asked to make a few weeks ago.It was to be a special card from 6 girls for a Golden Wedding Anniversary. I decide to make it 8x8 as that's a very special size and I seem to be making quite a few of them lately. I used Papermania Silk Screened Paper (Gold Ornate Metallic).I then took another piece and ran it through the Cuttlebug with the Script embossing folder,tore the edges and inked it to look old.I added a piece of vintage looking lace around it.The hearts were stamped and embossed with gold embossing powder. (I think the stamp is an Anita's one)I matted them onto cream hammered card,punched two eyelets with my Crop-A-Dile and tied a bow between the two with gold ribbon. The 50 chipboard numbers were from a Brenda Pinnick kit that I embossed with gold too.The ivory organza ribbon I ran down the length of the card and added a row of ivory pearls,a bow and two ivory heart shaped pearls.To finish it I wrote the sentiment on the Robo and matted it onto some left over gold card and added two gold brads.

I'd also like to enter this card into Kerry's (A Load Of Old Pickle) blog candy challenge to celebrate 10,000 hits on her blog. Well done Kerry!. The challenge was to make a card using Kerry's favourite crafty essential,which is ribbon.

Thanks for looking

Cupacakeabella

Another of my Stamping Bella rubber stamps. This time it's cupacakeabella. I coloured her with pastel pencils and mounted her onto a pink scallop cut on the Robo. I used coffee and cream coloured PP from a CD I have. I printed the sentiment on the PC using CK Curly font and matted it onto pink and brown card. Added a bit of brown and pink spotty ribbon. I used Stickles just to highlight the cherry and the spots on her dress.

The next one is just another similar to a previous card I've uploaded.It's basically playing with different shaped scallops and matting them on top of each other. This is Papermania daisies with green pearl brads in the centre.I've doodled the stems! the rectangular matt I've run through the Cuttlebug using the D'vine Swirls embossing folder. Brenda Pinnick PP with a layer of pink card embossed with the Swiss Dots folder and some pretty green lace ribbon attached. Sentiment again printed on PC and matted onto pink and green card.

Poppies

Well after 4 months of no scrapping and having no inspiration to do so,I've finally managed to do a layout. I've been playing about with a few for weeks but finished this one yesterday. I'm still not sure how I feel about it,or if I've got my mojo back,but it's done and at least it's a step on the way. I took the poppy photo at Almondvale Heritage Centre back in August 2007 and decided to use it. I had already done a Print&cut decoupage of it for a card (which you can see in a previous post) and also added that to the LO. Not sure if decoupage on a LO is the right thing to do,but I did it anyway. I cut all the swirls on a Cricut at a crop and also cut the Basic Grey paper into Scallops with it.The large P is a Bazzill really big letter and the rest I cut on my Robo. The font is called Coaster. Used my Crop-A-Dile to set the eyelets and threaded some red,black and white ribbon through.

Just A Quickie.....

Just a quick card I made this morning with help from my Robo.I think the PP was free in a magazine, but can't remember which one. The flowers are a mixture of two kinds.I know the larger ones are Papermania but not the smaller ones. Cut the ovals and scallops on the Robo. Matted them together on 3d foam and then on 3d foam to the card.Printed the greeting on the PC.Slit the card and threaded the ribbon through (my ribbon thingie wouldn't reach that far in!) and tied a bow. Added the little Papermania pearls.

My Bellas

I really love the stamps from Stamping Bella , and I've got quite a few now.These are a couple of my Partygirlabella cards I did a while back.
The first is one of my favourite PP by Daisybuckets and the greeting I used the pen in my Robo.



The second is Papermania Venetian Skies PP and the frame is from Craftwork Cards,which I chalked with Colorbox chalk inks.Again the greeting was done on the Robo. I'm not a fan of Magnolias (SHOCK,GASP) so will be sticking with my Bellas for now.

Card Made With New Stash

Well seeing as I'd bought all that lovely new stash,I thought I'd make a card to try it out......as you do.
Basic Grey Two Scoops PP, Sizzix flower cut from pale pink glitter card with a Papermania green pearl brad to the centre.HOTP sentiment stamped onto oval and scallop cut on the Robo. Some pink lace ribbon as well.
A very simple card made with gorgeous items.

And Now for Something Completely Different........

for me!

Pickle on the Docrafts forum posted about Kay Miller Designs. So off I went to have a nosey.Well her Digi kits were really appealing so Paypal had an outing and I bought a few page kits. Never did Digi before and as I don't have an A3 printer or know how to use PS apart from resizing pictures a bit and doing some lattice for my Robo, I was mainly getting it to make cards with.

Hope you like this little Jungle Boogie card.I used the Cuttlebug distressed stripes embossing folder as it gives a lovely bark effect.The font I used was ABCKids. I used my Robo to print and cut all the images and mounted them with 3d foam.

Went to my scrapbook crop tonight and finally managed to get the beginnings of a page started.Hopefully this will be me getting my inspiration back.It was actually due to a card I made the other day that I kind of decided on what photo to scrap.It was a lovely poppy photograph I took last year at Almondvale Heritage Centre in Livingston.I had been playing about with the image on my Craft Robo and turned it into a Poppy print & cut decoupage.I matted it onto a lovely layer template from UKS that jsillyscraps had posted.I thought it looked quite striking and could be used for different occasions.What do you think?

So watch this space in the next few days.......ummmmm make that weeks....lol, just in case.
