Idyllic Birthday

It was my Mother-in-Law's Birthday yesterday and this is the card that I created for my youngest son to give her.

I used papers from the gorgeous new collection from NitWit Collections called Idyllic, I think this collection is so pretty.  I fussy cut the flowers and layered them up for dimension.

I computer generated the sentiment and printed it on one of the solid papers in the collection, I also used some of the papers to decorate the inside of the card.

A New Dress

This was going to be my DT card for next weeks Digi Choosday but as I've stepped down from the Design Team I thought I would share it today.

I decided to use a design sheet from the cute Winston Deluxe Full Download Collection to create my card. I printed it several times so that I could add some decoupage layers.

I use two of the papers from the collection and I cropped the flower from her hair so that I could enlarge it to embellish my card.

The sentiment is from the Winston collection and the buttons are from my stash.

Thank you for calling today, your company is much appreciated.

Daisy Daisy

It's time for some mid challenge inspiration over at the Polkdadoodles Challenge blog, the theme for the DT this fortnight is Use a Die Cut but you can enter an Anything Goes project.

This is my final DT card as part of the Polkdadoodles team as I've decided to step down to concentrate more on crafting for fun rather than with the added pressures of DT commitments.

I've used papers from the Belle Papillon Vintage CD to create my card.

The daisy is from the Daisy Daisy Stamp & Cut Set, I stamped and fussy cut it because I didn't want the white border that is left by the die.

The sentiment is from the Daisydays CD and my die cut element is the largest die from the Ribbon/Gift Frames & Corners die set.

Petite Rocking Horse

I used a Spellbinders Grand Labels Eleven to cut the top of the shape and used ribbon from my stash to hang it up.
