New baby bottle cards

Today i did something quite different, i made these darling little New baby Bottle cards.

the cards were made using my SVG program and a lot of help from my Son Josh who is a PC wizzard.

I used 300gsm cream card for the base card and some papers from various paper packs.

Die cut the ovals and decorated with florals and lace.

The sentiment is CG

They measure 7.25" tall and 3.75" wide.

I made the boxes to match.

these are for sale in my webstore.

 AS USUAL I ADDED THE GLITTER ROUND THE EDGES

  I made the inside to match the outside

 The butterfly is a Marianne design

 The lace and flowers are from WOC

 The inside has been left blank

christening card lotv

Here is another LOTV card.

This is a pretty image from LOTV.

my only criticism is that the image is very pale.

I really should have touched it up with my Prismacolor pencils before i made it up.

anyway i have used some papers from the Kanban Birth and celebrations kit, and shimmering cream hammered card.
The card is 5.75" square.

This card is for sale on my website

 The flowers are from WOC and blinged up with some irridescent paint.

all the edges of the card have been glittered

 The sentiment is a computer generated one.

A peek at the inside, left blank but matching the front.

HAVE FUN

Here is yet another LOTV card i have made.

This time it's for a boy.

I used papers from a stash i had, gingham ribbon,  

and the lovely LOTV image that i had ages ago.

I used shimmering brown card for my layering, it just added a little bling. 

This card is for sale in my Webstore

The bunting is the Tattered lace alphabet bunting the stars are gold brads,

A great addition to your card stash.

 A peek at the inside which i always decorate to match the front.

Baby Boy card

I'm not a fan of card kits, but once again this is a card made from the Kanban Birth and celebration kit.

I havent done much with this one, i thought i would make it up as it was designed.

there isnt much else i could do really apart from bling it up a bit with some florals and ribbon.

its quite a large topper and sits on this 8"x8" card quite tightly.

for sale on my website

 The little bunny is quite cute and is 3D, as are all the letters

 The letters are all glitter so i just added a gem to them to bling it up a bit.

 All the little elements are 3D

HEART BUNTING

Hi Folks.

well i have been busy again this week.

I was trying to figure out how to make a bunting out of my beautiful filigree hearts doilies.

so out came my old faithful cutting machine, and i set to work to make a backing templateto for the hearts, using my Inkscape program.

I used Kraft card for the backing as i wanted a shabby chic look. i used my xyron machine to sticky back the hearts, it was a bit tricky as the hearts are so thin, so i had to be careful not to tear them. then i set to work doing what i love....decorating.

I finished off with metal eyelets to make it stronger and then used jute twine instead of ribbon.

i hope you like them, i thought it looked very pretty and very unique.

this is for sale in my eBay shop.

New baby boy card

Hi there folks.

Well it's been a long time yet again since I made my last post, but I am trying to get back into the world of crafting again.

We have a local craft show coming up next month (yummy) and I intend on stocking up with some new craft stuff.

I have a lovely new craft room to keep me busy, all new shelves and storage boxes and units, it's lovely.

I have been making a few toppers which I sold on my eBay account, and I have been making a few cards too.

This is a card I made a few days ago for a new baby Boy.
