Let's Celebrate

Hello again,

Here's the second card I have made today, using another of my Fizzy Moon stamps. This time, I made an easel card.  I wasn't sure about the large circles on this card at first but I think it has now grown on me.

You can't really see it in the picture, but the image has been decoupaged and I have used clear glaze on the bottle and the bears nose. I used some more DP from the Sweet Owl collection and added some ribbon down one side.

I added quite a few pearls to the pink mirri card circle on the bottom right and added a sentiment.

On the base of the card I added some more DP which was mounted with foam pads and used some more ribbon and added a printed birthday greeting.

Hope you like the card?

Swinging Z-Fold Card

Hi girls (and fellow crafters)

Steve's frien, Mark, asked me to make a couple of birthday cards for his sister-in-law and his Niece, so here's the first card I came up with.

It's a Swinging Z-Fold Card that I created using a technique from www.splitcoaststampers.com, the link for the tutorial is HERE.  It turned out lovely and I really like the technique. It's easy enough to follow and the end result is worth it.

I found these lovely stamps by Fizzy Moon, and this is one of them. I coloured it in using my ProMarkers and added a greeting and some pins.


Here's another view from the card while it is open and another view of the card standing on it's side.

I used some DP from First Edition Paper, the Sweet Owl Collection 8 x 8 pad. It's mainly pink and browns and half the pad is double sided and half is glittered. They're gorgeous in the 'flesh' so to speak, unfortunately the photographs aren't doing the papers much justice. It's fabulous having the sun shining throughout the day, but my camera doesn't seem to like it too much. So I will apologise now for the 'brightness' but, I hope you like the cards.

Don't forget to pop over to Split Coast Stampers and have a look at their fabulous tutorials in their resources section.

Thanks for stopping by. Hugs xxx
