pollycraft for jack's 19th birthday

Very simple card, coloured with my stampin up markers and I have used a mixture of paper mania card and stampin up card. The ribbon is also a stampin up seam binding ribbon. Used my friends button embossing folder on the blue and layered up.

I used the ribbon at the back of the card to attach some money for my nephew, who is 19 this year, very scary monkeys, but lots of fun.

Almost forgot to say this is a pollycraft image and perfect for any teenage boy.

Wedding Album using papermania, DCWV & LOTV

Used Lili of the valley stamp and papermania papers. A die cut sentiment, some pretty pearls I got given from my friend for my birthday and a mixture of gorgeous ribbons, some very old and some very new.

Close up of image, coloured with my promarkers.

Close up of pretty ribbons.

Lots of brads, gems and a little lace.

Stamped 'love' sentiment and again coloured using promarkers.

Used some more of the pretty papermania flowers and attached with a DCWV butterfly brad.

More formal layout for a couple of larger pictures, again brads to finish.

I used my lace trim border punch to add detail to the plain page.

I cut out some hearts using my x-cut dies. I used pigment chalks to edge and some satin ribbon attached with some pretty little brads.

More ribbon at the edge secured with brads and an acetate sentiment attached using even more bradlets.

Close up of die-cuts and faux stitching.

Tags and flowers and also I wove the satin ribbon in and out of the holes that I punched.

Again with the woven ribbon! (and how is it you think you have gotten rid of all those little squares from the back of your raised pads and then suddenly there they are again).

Gorgeous DCWV brad, more faux stitching and an acetate sentiment.

More tags

ditto

Close up of romance sentiment

Wedding wishes

One with more light and the one below with less (no flash) still unsure which looks better. Made this no stamping wedding card to go with a Wedding Album.  MIL requested for rellies so away I went, I was very pleased how this turned out. The hearts are cut using x-cut dies and some card that I got from Simonsays stamp one of their monthly kits.

The flowers are from my stash as is the beige button and silver cross charm.  I attached using some True Hemp from Hemptique and used some muted green brads to attach the marriage sentiment which is on vellum.

Christmas easel with pollycraft and papermania

This cute little image is from pollycraft, I used some snippets to make the crossways panels and also for the poinsettia.

So this is another christmas card for the pile and I used a papermania stamp for the sentiment and tag shape.

The image has been coloured with my promarkers.

I chalked the edges of the tag after I had used a deckle edge scissor to cut out the shape.

The large brad is DCWV.
