Karen Burniston CHA elegant wedding card sample...

I made this card for the recent CHA show in America, I wanted it to look like clean and simple from the outside and cute from the inside. I embossed the card using the Damask embossing folder and used the pretty Paris edges die.

 Look how fab Poppy the owl looks all dressed up with the bowler hat and dickie bow tie.

 I can't remember who first put the tiara on poppys head but I love the idea!

CAS Christmas cards...

With only 114 sleeps to Christmas its time to seriously make Christmas cards, right? :). A friend of mine pinned a really simple but pretty evergreen tree card on Pinterest and I thought I'd have a go at it. You can see the original card here.

I used the bowler hat from Karen Burniston's props die set for the bucket to sit the tree in and the cute little hearts that came with the pull card and oval accordion dies sets.

happy crafting  :)

CAS wedding card...

This is a quick and easy card I was asked to make for someone to give their friend. I used Karen Burniston's Katie label dies as they nest together beautifully. The wording and the oval it is written on were created using my silhouette cameo.

Accordion Fancy frame card Keep calm and...

I found a great Keep calm and... Cling stamp set the other day and decided to put it to good use on this lovely clean and simple cards. I planned to enter into the just add ink challenge blog but missed the deadline:(

So here is the card I made using Karen Burniston's accordion fancy frame die with just a dash of promarker colouring on the cute cat cake die and some stickles glitter glue for the flames of the candles.

I hope you link it:)

Accordion fancy frame card...

 In my previous Lucy label glitter teapot card post on my blog, I copied one of Els from Elizabeth craft design Tutorials ( you can see the tutorial here). I made the picture using double sided adhesive sheets and a teapot die cut. For this card as I don't have any rose dies I used a Lucy Cromwell rose stamp with Staz-on ink straight on to the sticky side of the paper then added the micro-fine glitter before colouring the rose with my Promarkers.




 

 I completed the card by using Karen Burnistons Accordion Fancy Frame Die. I love the detail on the corners you can get from just using that one die.

CAS Butterfly pivot card...

This card was inspired by a fellow Karen Burniston's design team member. Caz over at her crafty palace has been making some lovely clean and simple cards using just stamps and plain paper.

Stamping the foxglove on the inside of the card was a little trickier as I had to line up the stamp exactly. I cut a butterfly out of a piece of acetate and used it to mask the pre stamped butterfly.

I just entered this card into this cards4guyz blog challenge..
Wish me luck:)

Wedding invite card...

I was asked to make some simple wedding invite cards by a friend. After a little peruse around Pinterest I designed these.

They didn't take as long as I thought they would to make. The bows took the longest as although I have a paper mania bow making tool, I want the bows to sit more symmetrically than the bow maker seemed to get them.

I bought the wedding rings from eBay and after experimenting with all my different glues, I decided my hot glue gun did the job the best.
