Two birthday cards...

Hi guys, so last night i made two cards, th efirst is for my mum whos birthday it is next week and the second if for an order i had from a work collegue.

For this card i used a piece of white hammered A4 card stcok which i cut in half length ways. I then went on to use my Ultimate Pro to make the base card. I then layered the card with gold paper and then partterned paper from a 6 x 6 Papermania paper pack i got ages ago!

Once i put on all the paper i took a stamp from the Papermania stamping chic stamp set. I coloured the image using my Pro Markers and also paper pieced the gift bag and card and attached them with foam squares aswell the sunglasses.

Lastly i added 3 pink gems in the corner, backed the main image with the same gold paper and attached it to the card. Im really pleased with this card and hope that my mum likes it as much as i enjoyed making it.

This next card was made using the DCWV Hippy Chic paper stack, I LOVE THIS PAPER STACK!!!!! I love all the colours, the patterns and all the glitter! This card is for a work collegue for her neice. I thought using this paper would be perfect for a teenager with all the fab colours and.....you guessed it GLITTER!

I took a ready made white card blank and matted it with a dark blue paper rounding the corners first. I then took a piece of pumpkin pie card stock from Stampin' Up and used my Fiskars threading water border punch on one edge then used a Fiskars texture plate to emboss some dots which i ran an orange ink pad over to highlight then rounded the corners. Next i took a piece of Hippy Chic paper and rounded the corners on one side and attached it to the orange card so that it was overlapping and added a piece of green ribbon over the join.

I took a green Papermania flower and drew some lines on it with my quickie glue pen and added some glitter to give it a little sparkle, then added a felt flower and beautiful pearl brad from Papermania to the middle. I cut using my cricut a scolloped square in the same dark blue paper as the first mat, an orange square and a white square, and i stamped the word Niece in blue to tie all the colours in and attached them with foam pads. Lastly i added 3 green pearls in the top right hand corner just to finish it off.
Will be back shortly with a bracelet i made the night before for my daughter.
See you shortly!
