BoBunny Sophie

First I created a background on my card using paints and glimmer mists

I cut out a scalloped circle from Bo Bunny Sophie - Cut Outs paper

I added some paint dots to my LO using the end of a plastic scoop



Next I cut a small strip of Bo Bunny Sophie - Stripe paper and curled it and glued to my LO

I added a glitter brad to each end of the paper curl

I cut a small strip of Bo Bunny Sophie - Stripe paper and attached to my LO then i added some Prima Marketing Lace

I put a pearl stem into the paper spiral and glued the stem into place

I mounted my photo on to Bo Bunny Sophie - Stripe paper



I added a few 7 gypsies stickers and here is my finished LO

BASIC GREY CARDS

Hi all it has been a while since i last posted something on this blog so here i am back and ready to roll.
I thought i would get back into the swing first by showcasing this new range of basicgrey papers and here is the drum roll..... yes that's right me doing cards........
As i think most of you are aware i love my white space layouts and my cards are no different these three cards are so quick and easy to make..... all you need to do is layers several pieces of paper and card stock i am a big fan of paper rolling at the moment it brings so much dimension to your projects add a few hand cut embellishments and there you have it fab cards for any occasion

Saturday sketches...

Morning all..these saturdays seem to come around really quickly huh!!!

Okay todays guest designer is Karen Moss...you can find her blog here - Tales from the scrap heap

Here is the sketch that i sent her...

and here is her page based on the sketch...

Beautiful...dont you agree? She used the Bo Bunny line called Persusion for this page...Have a good weekend

And so carries on the gorgeousness...of...

Echo Park ...are you obsessed with it as much as i am???? I have used both the other lines that i bought leaving only a few scraps...so when i went to Papermaze the other day and there the new line was in all its glory i grabbed it!!!!

And came up with this...

I am sorry if the colours are a bit off...it rained  all day yesterday so getting a good picture was really hard...

If you are buying this line i suggest that you buy two of  these

 Trust me on this...the green side is soooooooo gorgeous and the embellishment and journaling card squares are just as handy...you will need two!!!! i did!

 and you will need the sticker sheet as well because...well..as with the other ones it is gorgeous!!!!

You can find the new Echo Park line here and dont forget to check out the other lines they have here...

cards and bunting

I have seen so many cards and LOs using paper bunting that decided that I had to have a go at making some bunting myself

I cut three triangles 1 from each of the following papers and about half a dozen circles
Fancy Pants Road Show - Dainty Print
Fancy Pants Road Show - French Press
Fancy Pants Road Show - Cards

I inked all of these shapes with brown chalk ink


I then cut some triangles slightly larger than the paper triangles from kraft card and stuck the paper triangles onto the kraft triangles. I cut the circles i punched earlier in half and attached these to the kraft triangles then I punched holes in the corners of the triangles.

Next I took a birthday cake candle and tied it to a button and then using wet glue attached the button to this cute little siver thing I found in a craft shop. The glue dries clear so wont be seen once its dry!

I attached the candle embellishment to one of the paper flags.

I tied the 3 flags together with ribbon and then attached them to my backing paper. I used the reverse side of Fancy Pants Road Show - Dainty Print Paper


I cut a rectangle from Fancy Pants Road Show - Vintage Stripes paper and used the reverse to mount the above on

I added some rub-ons, lace and bling to the remaining 2 flags


I added my greeting and attached to my card base


I made another card using just 1 of the flags. I glittered a chipboard swirl and stuck the bottom of the flag.

Then i added some pins


I attached a decorative brad to the middle of a flower and stuck this in the middle of the chipboard swirl

I added a strip of bling
Then stuck the flag onto a large flower

I made my card base from kraft cardstock. I cut some strips of paper from Fancy Pants Road Show Papers

I tied some ribbon to the flag and attached the flag to the card

I added my greeting and here is my finished card

With a few bits of paper...

Sometimes things can be simple and sometimes i have to stop and remind myself of that...sometimes a card can be made with just a few sheets of paper and some stickers...this is what came to mind when i saw the new line from Basic Grey called Olivia...

So pretty and such gorgeous colours...perfect for those pretty cards...and because of how beautiful the papers where they didnt need much embellishement...i made two for you...

I love the beautiful colour of the spotted paper as the background and then i saw this heart paper

I knew that this would be a cheap way to embellish the cards...add some simple ribbon and you are done...the next one was just the same...

I used the hearts from the pattern paper...with that and the pretty frame from the sticker sheet round the outside a very quick but pretty effective card....I will be back later with some more to show you...
