Paperplay - Anything but a card

So the challenge this week on Paperplay is "Anything but a card!"

We are very kindly sponsored by La La Land.  Check out all the details and DT creations here.

The flower I made uses the Tattered Florals die by Tim Holtz.  I used an old French - English Dictionary for the petals.  I added some Papermania coloured gems in the centre.  I glued it together using glossy accents.  I needed the flower to cover a sticker on the packaging I was recycling!

Covered the other packaging sticker with Fancy Pants Designs - "Delight" collection patterned paper which I stamped on with a Waltzingmouse Stamps "say it loud" set.

 

 Close up of the packaging.

Fun! Tim Holtz Flower using an old dictionary - gems in the flower centre.

Mini Album close ups.

Made a mini meander album to co-ordinate.  The tutorial to make this little creation is on the SRM blog here.

Thanks so much for peeking.  Hope you have a great weekend.

First Holy Communion Card

Just wanted to share the First Communion Card I made for my God-daughter.  I used a Precious Moment image and coloured with pencils, added some stickles to the hair bows and added some shading.  Did a slight overhang on the right of the card just to add something a little different in the shape.  Used Papermania sheer ribbon also.  I mounted the image on pearlescent cardstock so there is an extra sheen to the card.

Supplies: White Pearlescent Cardstock, precious moments image, colouring pencils, 

Stickles, computer generated greeting, Papermania white sheer ribbon, 

Spellbinders Labels 8 nesties and pop dots.

Thanks for peeking and stopping by.  Hope you have a blessed day.

Caardvarks Challenge - use stickers!

Another one I made for the Caardvarks Challenge.  It is sponsored by SRM Stickers this month and the challenge is to incorporate stickers into your new project/card.  Unfortunately I don't have any SRM Stickers - they are sensational - check out their blog here.

So I purchased some butterfly stickers in a store a number of months ago in pink and yellows (they were in a clearance basket!).  I think they were meant for a little girls bedroom as they are in various sizes. 

I stuck them on acetate and cut around them, stuck them to the card and added Papermania pearls to cover the glue dot, the sheer white ribbon is from papermania.  The letter stamps are from Heidi Swapp - stamped in Whispers mossy stone ink!.   This is another Mother's Day card (Mother's Day is March 14th here in Ireland).

I used my Martha Stewart border punch on the edge of the patterned paper.  I'm not sure who made the paper as it was received from a friend.

Paula over on Tales from Pollycraft is launching a new digital kit on the 1st of March.  She is giving away the set to 5 lucky people who post about it on their blog and leave her a comment.  She does the most AMAZING images and this set - Sweet Dreams Sprintime Retro is no exception.  Be sure to check it out here.  The chance to win finishes on Feb 28th at 11... so quick... check it out.

Thanks so much for stopping by - hope you have a great Friday.
