Birthday Celebrations Easel Card!

Thought I would take part in the Dare over at Daring Cardmakers this week the challenge is to make a shaped easel card... This also fits very nicely for the birthday celebrations challenge over at Simon says too :)

It's not exactly a different shape I just curved the top corners to follow the label die cut. So, I needed a card for someone who totally loves horses, then I remembered these Gorjuss images and edited the unicorn slightly to make it more horsey, tee hee! I have printed it twice and fussy cut one to layer over the other with dimensional foam. The rosette I made from adhering the ribbon in pleats around the circle and embellishing with die cut numbers. The charm I have attached with a little bead bling made by yours truly!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: K&Co: Amy butler;

Images: Gorjuss Art: pack 24; PTI: sentiment;

Ink: Archival: black; distress ink: antique linen;

Dies: Sizzix: tags; alphabet; Spellbinder's nestabilties: labels 8; circles scallop; WRMK; corner rounder; 

Other: chip board; BG: brad; ribbon; Quixotic: horse charm; beads etc; 3D foam;

Thanks for stopping by today and I'm so pleased you enjoyed my little tutorial yesterday. HuGs Kim :)

Masculine Suit Card,

Hello I just wanted to show this card... I was asked to create one for a special friend's dad who turned 90 the other week, wow such a fantastic age...

The suit card is because he from the generation who always wear a suit, I have created the jacket to open at the button which is held together with a magnet. I have taken ALOT of pictures to try and show the different opening and the inside and the lining and the shirt. Wanted to point out that the tie is in fact a copy of a map of Ireland as he comes from there (although he had to miss his party over there due to the dust cloud!)

I have die cut the word dad which happens to fit in with the challenge over at Daring Cardmakers hee hee!!! I have stamped the houndstooth pattern directly onto the grey card with distress inks! On the inside is a fabulous PTI sentiment!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: October afternoon; K&Co; MM: Natural cardstock;

Stamps: Cornish Heritage Farm: houndstooth Scrapblock; PTI: father knows best;

Ink: printer; distress inks: Black; Dies: Sizzix: alphabet;

Other: button; tracer; 3D foam;

Thanks so much for stopping by, I must dash and get things sorted around here... because I'm off out for the evening with OH, he's taking me to the 02 to see Jeff Dunham ha ha ha he cracks me up!!!!

Have a wonderful weekend HuGs Kim :)

2Sketches4You #33, Daring Card Makers, TGF Cake Topper Wedding

I haven't managed to do one of the Daring cardmakers dares for sometime now, so for this I have combined the wedding theme and last weeks dare of lace and thought I would use it with Kazan's wonderful sketch this week over at 2Sketches4You.

The wedding couple I have coloured with my copic markers and cut out, I have gone over the dress with my spica glitter marker it's so pretty. The patterned paper I have sanded the edges and inked with Tim Holtz Distress inks to give an aged look. The edge of the vellum has been punched with my MS hearts and I have embossed with victoria cuttlebug folder and adhered to the card under the lace. Click Images for a close look.

Supplies: Patterned Paper: K&Co: Blue Awning; PM: textured card; vellum; glitter paper; Stamps: TGF: Cake Topper; Ink: Memento: Black; Tim Holtz Distress inks; copic markers; Spica glitter; Die's: Nestabilities: ovals; Sizzix: Leaves; flower & frame set; Cutb'g: Butterfly; embossing folder; Other: Paper roses; Adhesive pearls; Lace; 3D foam;
