CELEBRATE TAG

here is a tag that i made with some of the leftovers from another card that i made. as soon as i can i will post the card that i made to match this tag.

i will hopefully use this tag on one of the presents for my eldest

all the items used are from the LMC kit

and as u can clearly see, no beads on this one!! so i'm not going too mad on them lol

EASTER CARD

here is an easter card that i have made using the LMC kit

this card will be for one of my daughters, either from me and OH, or from their brothers

again all the items apart from the addition of beads are from the LMC kit. i think that i am going through a bead frenzy at the moment!! i wanted to jazz the eggs, and the hatched egg up, and thought beads would do a nice job!!

hopefully i didn't go too over the top with the beads!! please let me know if i dd

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARD

well first up is a birthday card that i made from the latest issue of LETS MAKE CARDS MAGAZINE (LMC).

i think this is a great card, and would make a lovely birthday card for my eldest daughter who will be 6 in may - god how time flies!! i haven't completely decide on whether this will be her birthday card or not, as it depends on what else i come up with - but then again there are her brothers and sisters to make cards from, so i suppose it could be used there if i choose a different one from me!

all the items used to make this card, are from the LMC kit, all except the beads.

i though that i would try and put my own take on the card, and use up some of my beads that i had in my stash, and the ones that i received from COPSE aka Karen over on the CB forum. i wasn't quite sure wether putting beads on the bunny, would ruin the card, but i think the outcome is ok - but then again i would say that wouldn't i?!?!

flower shaped card

here is a flower shaped card that i saw in an issue of LMC, and when i saw it i just knew i had to have a go at it as i'm going through a phase of where i would like to make cards that are not just square and rectangular!! so i will probably make loads more different shaped cards!!

i have slightly changed what i embellishments i used on the card to the one in the mag, but who cares as i still think it looks ok

items used are:

• pink card blank from LMC
• spotty paper from LMC
• pink sequins from LMC
• silver matting card from stash
• love circle die cut embellishment from LMC
  

bead card

i have finally finished the card i was making when i ran out of beads. i'm quite surprised how quick it was when i used the tacky glue that i bought a few days ago - before that i was using a glue gun. i had decided i was getting fed up with my glue gun as it always seems to go everywhere and make my work look a mess!! i saw the tacky glu on a craft demo recently and when i saw it in the shop when i was stocking up on my beads - i just had to get some!! i think it will be using as often as i can as it really speed the process up of adhering the beads to the card.

items used are:

• cream glittered card from stash
• white heart patterend textured paper from LMC
• pearlescent pink coorugated card from LMC
• 2 die cut strips used as 'ribbon' from LMC
• a die cut butterfly from LMC
• beads on each wing of the butterfly from stash
• sequins with gems in the middle, both from LMC
• beads from stash and LMC

the design for this card was in a issue of LMC, but i had run of the card that they had used, so used my own glittered cardstock. i don't it makes much difference as you can only see the inside and back of the card as obviously the rest is covered up!!

happy birthday card

well as promised here is a card that i made yesterday, i would have uploaded then but it was late when i finished it so only took the pic today!!

this card is made from the LMC kit from issue 22, and as usual the kit is FABULOUS!!!!

i think this a fab spring time card. i really love the colors!!

items used are:

• blue card blank from LMC
• purple criss cross patterned paper from LMC
• lemon ribbon from LMC
• happy birthday sentiment from LMC
• die cut dragon fly from LMC
• die cut flower pieces (that i made into decoupage) from LMC
