60th Birthday Request on a musical theme

A request received from a colleague of my husband, a musical card for a ladies 60th Birthday.

The request was for a guitar or piano based card. Using the Cricut machine and 'Quarter Note' cartridge I cut the piano section in black card then white card for the keys section. The background of the piano was cut using light brown card stock. The scroll music piece was created using the Cricut Gypsy machine welding circles and rectangles to create the shape. This was cut twice and then hand cut from paper where I drew by hand the music paper and notes. I arced the pieces and glued using silicon glue to retain the curved shape.

The personalised message was printed onto ivory card stock and matted onto light brown card stock. Musical notes were cut from the Sizzix musical notes thin dies from black card stock.  The piano shape was matted onto ivory card stock on a decorative rectangle cut from a Spellbinders die. The message and piano topper were matted onto backing paper (scroll music) and fixed to the base card.

Football Birthday Card

Birthday card required for a small Watford Fan.

Using Tumble Ted Digital images CD, I printed an image out of Tumbke Ted and coloured in using Promarker pens. A message was printed and both this and the main image were cut using a Spellbinder circle dies. Scalloped circles in red card stock were also cut and fixed to the image and message.

A football backing paper was matted onto red card stock and fixed to base card. A red strip of card was fixed to the lower section of the card and the main image and message were fixed using 3d foam to finish.

Time for Tea - Birthday Card

A nice birthday card using the Peachy Keen stamps set - Hot Cocoa.

I stamped the teapot and cup image twice on to white card stock. I over stamped the teapot and one image of the cup with the flower stamp and coloured in using Promarker pens. The other stamped image of the cup I coloured in the liquid part of the image only. On the cup image with the flowers I cut out the liquid section to create a hole, I then fixed this using 3d foam to the other cup to give dimension . I stamped some sugar cubes out with happy faces and using a light grey Promarker pen inked around the edges.

Using Stampin Up Patterned paper pack  I matt and layered yellow dot and brown dot card mounted onto corresponding plain card stock. A scalloped oval and plain oval where cut from yellow and white card. The teapot, cup and sugar cubes where fixed using 3d foam.  A message was printed and cut into an oval shape using Spellbinder dies and matted on to a  corresponding yellow scalloped oval. Yellow ribbon was fixed to the card across the lower section and the message was fixed over the ribbon to finish. 

My God Daughter' wedding card

I decided to use an idea I've used on a previous occasions. a wedding card with a difference.  The colour theme of the wedding was Dusky Pink.

The base of the car was created using an Original Sizzix die - Car front, I cut 2 car shapes and then 4 circles using a circle punch Approx 1.5" diameter.  I cut the bumpers of the car in silver and the two front headlights, for the rear lights I cut the small circles out of red and orange card.

The Bride and Groom were cut out using Cricut Paperdoll Dress Up Cartridge, the dolls were cut out at 3.5" height, I created back views also for the reverse of the card.

Dusky pink card was attached to the base card and a wedding vows card stock was matted on top. The bridge and grooms( front and back ) were fixed to the card and the car was fixed using double sided tape and 3d foam on the roof part.

Personalised number plate was fixed to the front of the card and the standard number plate message was added to the the back view.
