Sending Hugs

Another lime Elegant Rectangle with some strips of hot pink Romance Paper. The flower is from the Craftwork Cards Flower Store - I stuck self-adhesive crystals in the centre and use a black fineliner pen around the edges. The scalloped oval was made with a Stampin' Up punch and the oval message is from Craftwork Cards. I used the black fineliner again to draw dots around the edge of the oval.

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

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 and Romance Papers

This card uses the other half of the elegant rectangle from Friday's card. I added faux stitching round the edge using a black fineliner pen. The big daisy is a die cut from the Craftwork Cards Flower Store and the little daisies are punched from matching card.

Crazy for You

I used a kraft blank for this card and mounted a strip of grey Romance paper on black pearlescent card which was then stuck onto the card blank. The heart was painted with a Raspberry Dabber (Ranger/Tim Holtz) and then I rubbed some red acrylic paint over the top of it using a sponge. Once dry I stuck it to the card blank and added three self-adhesive gems. The card is finished off with a Making Memories rub-on sentiment.

Elegant Rectangles

Earlier in the week I ordered a few bits from Craftwork Cards! They just brought out some 'Romance' papers which are absolutely gorgeous. I also ordered some of their new 'Elegant Rectangles' which are to die for. It is definitely worth taking a look at http://www.craftworkcards.com/

This card was made by cutting a lime coloured Elegant Rectangle in half. The flowers are also from Craftwork Cards and once again I have used Card Candy for the centres. The strip of dotty paper is one of the Romance papers.
