Plain to Pretty ...

HI Everybody,

Click to Enlarge

Well that was a very successful draw yesterday and the "Wishes and Kisses" CD is an excellent prize to win.

So if you didn't  win you can still get a copy if you pop over to Funky Hand   and  treat yourself.

Todays card is on another note altogether and I know I said that flowers make the difference but  there's not even a flower on this one.

What I wanted to do was show how a pretty card can be transformed into something special without them or a lot of embellishments.

This is a 5 x 7 Hinged Card    and the background has been embossed with the Regal M-Bossabilities  folder.

Then 20 small pearls from Want2Scrap  are  all it took to make it look so much better.

I have kept to an all white theme and this could suit many occasions.

The  pretty white ribbon has embroidered hearts and is from The Ribbon Room

The sentiment is from Clarity Stamp which is another UK based company for beautiful quality stamps.

The winning name is ....

Hi Everybody,

The week has been devoted to  Funky Hand     and the digital designs that this UK company produce.

These particular papers are from the CD "Wishes and Kisses" and it is one that you will not be disappointed with.

I had only one copy of the disc to "Give Away"   that was very kindly sent to me by Anice the owner and designer of Funky Hand ... and 425 of you want it.

The draw is now closed so    "Thank You" Anice  for this very successful offer and the winner is .......

June Coulson  

I will leave this open for one week so please email me as soon as you can with your land address and I will get it sent off to you straight away.

Todays card is using up all the bits I had left over from making the other cards featured this week ... and they are too good to waste.

So for this card I have created panels from three papers that work together and matted them on to a scalloped panel.

Then the three have been added to a white embossed panel  and layered onto a deep teal card base.  To the back I have added a  Card Stand     so that the card can be displayed.

The deep teal ribbon has been added around the panels and the pearly swirl added to add interest.

The banner sentiment is one that can be printed from the CD and made to any size that you need for your card.

New Home ...

Hi Everybody,

This is another element from the CD "Wishes and Kisses" that is from Funky Hand 

There are many other titles for you to choose from... and all will work beautifully with each other.

There are many occasions you could want to make a card for that are covered ... with lots of beautiful papers that you can print off whenever you need them.

So far I have covered Baby cards in pink and blue and the more personal feature which was the Wordbooks.

Then there was Birthdays and feeling under the weather and todays card is for those moving house.

You may also like the idea of having templates that will help you to make Exploding Boxes or Spiral Flowers.

And the flowers on this card are from a whole sheet of them that you just need to print out, cut out and layer up.

I have matted and layered several papers and added them to the card front at jaunty angles and then added the cat in the window on top.

There is no end to the cards that you can produce and you still have the chance to win a copy of ...

 "Wishes and Kisses" 

Add your name and email address to the list and join the band of followers ... but only once please as duplicates will be removed.   And please leave me a comment and then I know you have visited.

Hi Everybody,

This cute image is one of the many that can be re-sized to suit your designs from the CD "Wishes and Kisses" from Funky Hand 

The papers have been added to a Hinged Card  and then simply had scalloped and plain circles added with foam pads to the top.

 I have added in is some Googly Eyes to the Monster and coloured in some shading around the figure.

The sentiment is from the CD and I have added glitter to the words to make them sparkle.  

The Card Candi is in the right hand corner and I have tied the bow    from satin ribbon ... with a Card Candi centre.

The chance to win this lovely CD  "Wishes and Kisses"   is still open to you.
