Hippo Birthday card !

This card was made for someone who likes hippo's and computer's. I stuck the backing paper onto the black card. I then cut out the middle of a piece of black card so this was the screen, I used sticky pads to stick the screen down so it was slightly raised. I found a postcard with this hippo on cut it out and stuck it in the middle of the screen using sticky pads to layer it up. I used a happy birthday sentiment and stuck it as though it was coming out of the hippo's mouth. I stuck three adhesive stones on the front righthand corner to make it look like computer screen buttons and I wrote Palmer computers at the top as though this was the make of the computer.

3 D Faberge egg in a box

I made the faberge egg using Ivory paper. Once I had cut out the circles to make the egg I folded the circles and started sticking it together. I used pritt stick to stick the egg together. I then stuck adhesive stones around the egg and drew around the edge of the egg to make it look special.
I used thick black card to make the box and acetate to cover the windows. I stuck the box together with PVA glue and used Pritt stick to stick the acetate to the black card. I tied thin silky ribbon at the top if the box in a bow. DONE

3d rose with a box

This 3d Rose is made using a textured green card as the leaf, folded in various places and small holes are made to thread the blue thread through. I coloured the inside of the leaf different shades of green. I used pink and yellow paper as the petals and stamen. I added a teabag folded butterfly in the middle as a surprise.
There is also a small ladybird stuck on the outside of the green card. 

I made a box using white card and decorated it with bunting and lanterns from some wrapping paper I had brought from waterstones. I also used one of the lanterns to write the sentiment on which I attached to the blue thread.

Decoupage Anniversary Card

I used a coutry companions set to make this cute hedgehog card. I stuck the bottom layer onto some green card which I had already stuck onto a pre folded white card.  I then layered up the picture with sticky pads in between each layer. I decided to add the two ladybirds on the rigth hand side and the ladybirds carrying the rose on the left hand side. I stuck they down also with sticky pads. Then I decided to add a sentiment and drew the sentiment myself with a black ink pen. I cut it out and stuck it onto the same colour green paper as the background, cut out a boarder around the white sentiment and stuck it down in the middle of the card at the bottom. Done

butterfly teabag folding card

Papermania make some great cards with printed backgrounds on. I used a matching pattern to make two teabag butterflys wings and then stuck it onto the card. I drew the body and antennies on using a maroon pen. I used a piece of paper with the same pattern on as the butterflys wings as a border for the sentiment to bring the card together. I have entered this into March's competition on Lothian Crafts website.

Luggage shaped card

This card was for a person who liked going on holiday, watching T.V. and drinking Whisky. I cut the luggage shape out onto white card and then stuck a brown envelope over the top and cut around it. The buckles are brown card and white paper coloured in silver. I have added some detail with travel stickers to give the effect that the luggage has been taken to different countires.The luggage labels are stickers also. The handbag is an old gift tag stuck on with sticky pads to make it stand out. I put the recipitents initals on one of the pieces of luggage and drew two whisky lids in the top of the handbag.

Lava Lamp Shaped Card

If you want something different this is the card for you ! I cut out the card in the shape of a Lava Lamp and then covered it in blue cellophane. For the bubbles I used spotty paper some two layers others three layers high with sticky pads in between. I then stuck pink wrappers(from quality streets) over the top. For the base I used foil.
