Happy 50th Birthday Sister

Here is a wine bottle shaped card that I have made using an Arty Farty template.  The "air was a bit blue" at times as no matter how hard you try with a template you cannot get it 100% correct from one side to another so it was a case of taking bits off here and there.  That's where die shapes come in as they are 100% correct every time but with this card being A4 in height I dread to think how much a die like that would cost.

For the toppers, backing paper and sentiments I have used my Katy Sue Designs "The Wine Buffs" CD.  It took a while to pick what toppers I wanted but I got there in the end.
On the CD I found some "50" balloons so I printed them off and added some twine for the string.

I made myself a bottle tag by printing out a topper to use, die-cut a circle opening and then put it through a Crafter's Companion large dots embossing folder.

This card took me two days on-and-off to make.  I sneaked some "50" confetti that I used my "50" die from Joanna Sheen with some scraps of card and hey presto there is confetti everywhere that you don't have to pick up!!

I made this card for someone who likes to wear nice shoes.  I used backing papers, insert and decoupage from the Katy Sue Designs Fabulous Shoes CD.  There were lots of images but I went for this blue shoe with a red flower.  The shoe was difficult to cut in areas and had more layers than normal as I printed the page out twice to give it lots of dimension.

The flowers were cut out of the backing paper mounts which I gutted before layering up.  The green leaves were die-cut from a The Works paper pad.

As I wanted the decoupaged show image to take centre stage I have just finished the card off with die-cut flowers/leaves and a LOTV digital sentiment.

CD Sunday Challenge - 7 July 2019

Here is a card I have made for the CD Sunday Challenge.

I have used my Katy Sue Designs Fabulous Fashion CD.  I have used one of the toppers with the dress and stand.  I printed off two sheets so that I could do extra decoupage (yes I do loveeeeeeeeee cutting out decoupage) as the card was being hand delivered to the recipient.

I have used some plain style card and a backing paper which were all printed from the CD.

I have finished the card off with some pearl dots, wide teal grosgrain ribbon, white lace, thin green stitched grosgrain ribbon, some die-cut butterflies and a sentiment.

Let's hope the recipient likes it!!!

Happy 9th Birthday to the CD Sunday Challenge Blog

Today is a special day over at the CD Sunday Challenge Blog as it is their 9th birthday.  That is a wonderful achievement.    I may have missed a few years in the beginning but have been actively supporting this challenge blog since then as I do like to colour images but I also loveeeeeeeeeeee my VERY large collection of craft CDs!!  Happy birthday and here's looking forward to the coming years

As I had thought it might be the topic of "birthdays" I made this card recently so that I could enter the birthday challenge.  I have used my Katy Sue Designs Fabulous Fashion CD.  I have used one of the toppers with the dress and hat.  I like that it comes with lots of layers that you can cut out if you wish or leave cutting out.  As this card is going to be hand-delivered I was able to do lots of layers.

The beautiful backing papers are also from this CD.

I have finished the card off with some lace, stamped sentiment and little pearl dots.
