To a Very Special Friend


Yet another Elegant Rectangle, but this time in lime! I used Romance papers again and stuck self-adhesive crystals in the centres of all of the small flowers. I used a Stampin' Up punch for the scalloped oval and used a sentiment from Craftwork Cards in the centre. The butterfly was punched with a Martha Stewart punch and again I stuck only the back of the spine down then folded the wings up for a 3d effect.

Love & Laughter




Another card made with an Elegant Rectangle from Craftwork Cards - these are my favourite craft items at the moments. The paper is from the Romance collection by Craftwork Cards and I tied some ribbon round the spine - bet you can't guess where it came from!

I used a glue pen to stick the butterfly to the card but only stuck the back of the spine. I then added self-adhesive crystals and folded the wings up for a 3d effect.

Birthday Boy


This is another card made using the Romance Papers and and Elegant Rectangle by Craftwork Cards. I used a black fineliner pen for the faux stitching and added a Mini Elegant Square with die cut numbers. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and is mounted on a scalloped oval punched with a Stampin' Up punch. To finish off I added Card Candy down the edge.
I actually made this for a friend whose birthday is today. Happy Birthday Gary, hope you have a lovely day and don't work too hard xxx

ATC - I




This my 'I' ATC for the card group. I really struggled to find a subject and finally opted for ink. Again this isn't my usual style but I managed to include some Card Candy from Craftwork Cards!

Love


For this card I used a kraft card blank and overstamped it with a background stamp by Fancy Pants. The chipbpoard heart from Craftwork Cards was painted with red acrylic paint and overstamped with the same background stamp as the card blank. I then finished the card off with black grosgrain ribbon round the spine and a Making Memories rub on by the side of the heart.
This card was really easy to make but I think it looks very effective.

Just Because

I used Romance papers again for the background on this card. I really like the grey papers from this collection - quite a surprise as when I placed my order I thought I would prefer the red and hot pink ones!

The chipboard heart is from Craftwork Cards and is painted with a Raspberry Dabber (Ranger/Tim Holtz) and embellished with Card Candy. The sentiment is also from Craftwork Cards and I used a Stampin' Up punch to cut the scalloped circle.

Elegant Rectangles Again


I made this card by scoring one of the Elegant Rectangles down the centre and folding it to form a card blank. The heart is a chipboard one from Craftwork Cards and is painted with a Raspberry Dabber (Ranger/Tim Holtz) and overstamped with a stamp by Fancy Pants.
