A6 Cards for a change ...

Hi Everybody,

I have had a rest from making flowers and my favourite card size of 5x7 and these two are both A6 sizes.

They are created using the same designer card from AnnaMarie Designs, just used in different ways.

There is another card on there as well under the circles and the flowers, but it is  not quite visible.

They have the same sentiments, the same Mulberry flowers and the same Rose Flourish leaf set.

I have used other dies in my collections to give me the patterns on the card and one of them has lace added to it and some beaded strip alongside the panel.

All the flowers have been glittered and for this card I have roughened up the edges of the top panel.

I am trying to use up the items that I already have in my sash without buying new stuff and it is amazing what you find when you start to have the clear up.

May items bought years ago and forgotten about ... until now !!

And it gets rid of all the previously cut card that I have left over in my bit box ... waste not, want not !!

This card has the detail created from white card to sit over the third design in the card and they have been added with foam tape underneath

So although I have used the same things I have tried to use them in different parts on the cards to give each one a unique look 

Bye for now ...

Another Way to use Pages

 Hi Everybody,

For this card I have again used the Pretty Book pages but I have added them in a different way to my card.

Here I have adhered two pages in different patterns so that one overlaps the other. The top page has the detailed layer and both have been added at an angle.

The sentiment is added to the bottom of the card and the flowers placed in three areas and glittered.

The dark green leaves have been added behind the blooms.

If you look carefully at the designer card underneath it has little feet on it  and so would be an excellent choice for a baby card .... but my brain wasn't working when I made this and so it is a birthday card instead.

It is a 5x7 size and the fold as always is at the top and the mix of Mulberry flowers have ben added with a glue gun.

This card has the matching box to it and that is another older die set.

I added decoration to each of the pages on this book and I also created a stand for it which fits inside the box at the same time.

There are other designs on my YouTube Channel in the
 Pretty Book Playlist.

Bye for now ...

Pretty Book Collection Card, Box & Stand

 Hi Everybody,   

This is an older card that I made some time ago but I am including it again because it has the tutorial to go with it for both making the card and then the box and stand.

Together they make a lovely gift for someone's special occasion  and if you have the dies then they are easy to make.

It is beautiful in any colour you choose and you can add any flowers to this that you may already have.

I have added the bookmark to the centre and threaded it fist with ribbon.

Hope you enjoy the making of this lovely gift.

Bye for now ...

Happy Birthday in Pink

Hi Everybody,

A pretty 5x7 card with a large oval cut into silver mirror card for the front.

It covers some pretty pink 300gsm star card from
Limetree Crafts.

I get mine from the craft shows they attend but you can get the same card on line and they are UK based. 

There are many different designs and colours to choose from and well worth a visit. 

The mirror card is embossed and I think that is also from Limetree Crafts but I am not sure about that one. 

The butterfly is cut form the same  card and has gemstones along the bodyline and has been layered onto parchment.

The floral display is Mulberry Flowers and they have been glittered and added to green and silver leaves.

Very quick and easy to make and yet very pretty to send for someone's birthday

Pretty Book Pages

 Hi Everybody,

The card to the right is created using a really old die set from Card Making Magic called the
Pretty Book.

It makes the base shape for you and then you can add as many pages to your book as you would like 

I have also used the filigree pattern for the top page and then added in extra butterflies and some Mulberry flowers.

I have glittered the flowers and added gemstones to the body lines of the butterflies

There is also the addition of a decorative hat pin that can just be seen on the left side of this card.

The centre book mark has been threaded with blue ribbon and a small bow glued to the top.

This card is a birthday version but on my YouTube Channel in the Pretty Book Playlist you will find wedding and Baby Card version as well.

Bye for now ...
