Keep calm and drink tea 3D box card...

I was so pleased with the effect of the 3D box card I made using my silhouette cameo I decided to make another one. This time however I used some of my precoloured (to see how to do this please watch Els YouTube video) Elizabeth craft designs sparkly teacups and teapot that have been shouting out to me to be used. To finish it off I added a Karen Burniston Katie label and stamped it with keep calm and drink tea.

Books and shoes quote card...

I'm still working my way through all the bargains I bought from my local garden centres closing down sale. I made two similar cards to to give to two friends who's birthdays are coming up soon. I used my promarkers on Els glitter on adhesive sheets technique to make the shoe and flower background behind the happy birthday sign.

Both cards have a blank oval that is pegged on, so it's easy to remove it to write my personal message on. I passed Karen Burniston's oval accordion die and card through the big shot machine once to cut the card out then again with a silicone sheet sandwich combination to emboss the stitching around the edges. The pink card is Tim Holtz core'dinations card and I was able to use an emery board it sand the stitching so it stands out more.

I got a new toy for my birthday, my lovely Hubby bought me a silhouette cameo. I was able to find a free clip art picture that when pasted into the silhouette cameo program cut out the black outlines of the books. I was then able to use Els glitter and adhesive sheets technique to make some sparkly books.

The Katherine Hepburn quote stamp by crafters companions perfectly compliments Elizabeth craft designs shoes peel offs.

Clear fancy accordion books and shoes quote card...

Hi all, this acetate card was inspired by one I saw on Karen Burniston's blog recently.

 

I had a little bit of a glue crisis and the design team ladies from Karens challenge blog really helped.
They advised me to stick my card stock to some wide double sided tape before running it through the big shot with the flourish edging die. Thanks guys:)
The other part of my glue crisis was that I used a clear runny glue to stick the happy birthday on but because I'd been using glitter, the words became 'gunked' up with glitter. :(. The words dies I use can be found on Elizabeth craft designs online store if you click on any of the first three pictures links belong it will take you there.

So that this card was not relegated to the rubbish pile I simply cut out another happy birthday and stuck it over the top of the original words using a quickie glue pen.

I found trying to capture the sparkliness of the shoes on this card very hard especially as I seemed to be playing cat and mouse with the sun this week, but I finally managed it today:). To achieves the sparkliness I copies Els YouTube video in which she shows you how to the use double sided adhesive and microfine glitter that can be bought from Elizabeth craft designs online store. ( If you click on the links belong they will take you there.). I then coloured the shoe using my letraset promarkers.

Dragonfly square accordion card...

This is my second post today, I'm loving how Elizabeth craft design peel off stickers make my cards quick and easy to complete. I just adding a little colour to the body using my letraset promarkers and added stickles glitter glue to the wings and hey presto one beautiful dragonfly.

The mini dragonflies are from a Sizzix stamp and die set and although it's hard to see in the photo I used two different colour inks to create it.

Cute peel off sticker robin card...

There are only 308 sleeps to Christmas so I thought I'd join a few Christmas challenge blogs. This card is made using Karen Burniston's Katie die and I am going to enter it into the merry Monday Christmas challenge which stipulated I need to put holly somewhere on the card. I used a tiny holly stamp I got as a freebie from a magazine last Christmas, and added teeny tiny red pearls as holly berries.

The peel off sticker is an Elizabeth craft design bird that I coloured using brown promarkers and red embossing powder. The merry Christmas is also an Elizabeth craft design die.
