Lizzy is 11

Good Morning everyone

These are the 2 cards I made for my niece Lizzy's 11th birthday in December.

Last year i won 3 digi stamps from thepapershelter, one i chose with Lizzy in mind is called 'Jazzy ferret' 

His quirky style is ideal for Lizzy, I decided to use the pre coloured digi so found an old 6x6 paper pad in my stash that matched the purple & green colours perfectly so I decided to make a fancy fold to use as many papers as i could! I swear papers breed & multiply in the dark of the drawer! lol 

I printed the image out and cut out.  After folding my card i added papers to the front, matting onto a pinky lilac holographic card which really dances in the light. I die cut an oval from white, added to the front and added the ferret with a wobbler so that he dances around.  I added glossy accents to his sunglasses

Inside the card i matted more papers from the paper with the holographic card.  I stamped the birthday sentiment and die cut into a white circle and added to the left side with a fishtail banner behind.  I added a plain white die cut to the right side to write the greeting on. 

Showing different angles 

You can find details on how i made this fold here

Items Used:

Papershelter digi stamp 'jazzy ferret'

Bobunny paper pad 'Enchanted garden' (very old)

woodware sentiment stamp 

Pink holographic card

Spellbinders circle & oval dies

MFT fishtail banner dies

***

and the 2nd card i made for Lizzy is with a dragon as she loves her dragons

I made a diamond pop out card from white and cut panels from a green, lilac & gold tone marbled paper, i added a die cut square to the front panel with foam tape.  I stamped the Katzelkraft dragon onto a piece of card inked long ago with green & orange brusho & pixie powders, I cut him out and added to the front with glue gel.

I die cut happy birthday alphas from a snippet of orange mirri card and added to the side panels.  I stamped and added 'you rock' next to the dragon to finish

Just showing from different angle.  I gave Lizzy this card as gave her a dragon themed gift so my parents gave her the ferret card. 

Items Used:

Katzelkraft stamps 'dragon'

Marbled paper pad from the works

Wonky stitched square die

Orange mirri card

Brusho powders 'emerald,lime & orange'

Cosmic shimmer Pixie powders 'red'

Alice is 9

Good Morning everyone

This week my middle niece Alice is 9 so these are the 2 cards ive made for her.  The first one actually uses the same image i used for her dads card last year - now they are collecting horses and of course there is always a cat or 4 around - its a digi stamp from hetty clare called friends forever 

Alices favourite colours are purple & green 

approx 7x7" card made from white card with nesting dies.  I printed the image onto white along with the sentiment and coloured with inktense pencils, stencilled horse shoes around with and die cut into shape and adhered to the card front.  I die cut a frame from dark green card and added to the card front with 2mm foam tape

I bought this stamperia stencil with horse & horseshoes - but its so very thin and delicate it was very difficult to use

Just a close up

Now the better weather has arrived the girls love going out on a horse and cart ride with their dad and spend many happy hours seeing the countryside that way.

Items Used

Hettyclare digi image 'forever friends'

Stamperia stencil 'KSG468'

Derwent inktense pencils

nesting dies

Distress oxide inks vintage photo, black soot, fossilised amber

and card 2

Alice is a talented gymnast and a little contortionist so i borrowed these gymnast dies from a craft friend

A5 white cardbase.  

I die cut the gymnasts from green glitter cardstock and 4 layers of scrap white cardstock which I layered together with the green glitter as the top layer - this gave them a sturdy chipboard depth.  I die cut the letters from purple mirri card and white card and used the white as a drop shadow to help them stand out.

I matted a lilac happy birthday printed cardstock onto purple mirri and then green glitter cardstock and then the card front.  The gymnasts were a bit lost against the background so i tore a piece of vellum adhered my letters and gymnasts to it - i then added tacky pva to the back of the vellum behind the letters and gymnasts and adhered to the card front - that hid the glue holding the vellum in place.

Just a close up - in real life the purple mirri and green glitter really do sparkle and shine

Items Used:

Memory box alpha dies

 gymnast dies

Anna-marie design birthday printed cardstock

papermania white vellum

Green glitter card

Hunkydory purple mirri card
