I made an 8 X 8 card (my favorite size) in green, printed 2 different background papers and mounted them onto some red mirri card. Added a bit of ribbon and a foiled greeting. Once I have finished getting my Christmas cards made I will enjoy making some of the others.
The first card I made using a No Stamp Required image of rose's. This I printed out using a laser printer and then putting the images through a foil embossing machine. I then coloured the smaller image with pro makers mounted onto some silver mirri card and finally onto a red 8 X 8 card. I finished it off using a foiled greeting and some roses from my stash that I put some silver stickles on, and added some red and silver ribbons.
The next card again I foiled using No Stamp Required images and again coloured with pro markers. The base for the butterflies was made using spellbinders nesties. I used an ink pad and sponge to add the colour around the edge of the card and topper, added a bit of ribbon and a flower from my stash.
This card was made using elements that were on the disc, I just printed them off, cut them out and put them together. I added a bow at the top and decoupaged some of the flower around the edge.
This finale one is an easel card which I made using spellbinders nesties and a topper from the labels section on the disc. added some gems around the outside of the card and a small bow with a gem stuck on top to match those around the outside.
I used Card Creations plus Edwardian Ladies Cd for this card. I printed the 8 X 8 base card onto Centura Pearl from Crafters Companion, and cut out the wording with my Cricut using the Plantin School book cartridge. Then added a couple of flowers from my stash.
Today I thought I would show you what I made for my Niece who was 18. I want to call it a card but it's not. When I went to a show at Farnbourgh earlier this year I bought a template for this display box. The images inside the box were from MCS Deco Follies (I love this CD). I built up the picture in MCS placing figures onto a background, I then printed the background without the figures and cut out the curtains and decoupaged them so that it looked as if they were further back in the room. I then printed the 2 figures in the foreground 4 times onto decoupage paper and cut them out. I then made a small cube from card to mount them onto so they were further forward than the rest, giving the impression that you would be looking in onto a party.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
As It is my Daughters Birthday this Sunday I had already started the card below, so rather than adding a ribbon to the side, I added a little bit of bling. I'm pleased with the result that I got.
I used the Art Deco Card Creations plus Cd for this card, and my Nellie Snellen punches for the flowers. I think I am fairly safe that my Daughter will not be looking at my blog before her birthday.
This first one I made as a gift for a baby using the images from Monday's Child, cutting them with a spellbinders die and mounting onto a large shape the same. Then using ribbon joined them altogether so they could be hung on a wall in a Nursery. Below are 2 of the images. On the reverse of each picture is the right line of the verse.
The next 2 pictures show an expanding book with the verse on the cover, then 1 picture and the right line of the verse each page.
This next image was a No Stamp Required image of Tuesday's Child. I made this card as a birth congrats for a girl. It was coloured with Promarkers, cut out with a Nellie Snellen die, and coloured around the edges with distress inks.
Like the card above this card has been made using a No Stamp Required image, this time Thursday's Child. Again coloured with Promarkers. This one for the birth of a boy.
This next sample is a gift of notelets. I decorated the outside with backing papers from the disc, the words were cut using my Cricut and the Plantin cartridge, then I used some flowers from my stash.
The last sample is made using a topper that is made up of all of the images from the rhyme. I printed it onto acetate the glittered from behind after running it through the Zyron machine. I added a couple of swirls again cut with the Cricut, a ribbon and three Roses that I made using a punch with 6 petals. I was very pleased with the roses as it was the first time I had tried making them.

This side I used the Glitter Girls new Cd All that Jazz. Finally I made a box using the Cameo Card Craft template which has a heart shaped window in it. I am really pleased with the end results, hopefully they will like it as well.
Hope you all have a great bank holiday weekend.
