Gingham Garden Hexagon page

I have been going through some old photos, looking for some scrapbooking inspiration.
This layout is for a challenge on an online blog...to use shapes on a background.

So I decided to have a go with the current hexagon craze and create a punched hexagon background.

The base cardstock is Island Indigo which coordinates with the Gingham Garden DSP used for the punched hexagons. I added some lace doilies, punched daisies and candy dots a predesigned tag and some Daffodil Delight narrow ribbon. The base blue paper was from the retired Storytime paper.
The title was die cut with an e cutter and the deer is from my stash.

Yay, another scrapbook page completed!

More Modern Medley

I was so happy with my last Modern Medley card, that I decided to make another one for an upcoming special birthday.

This time I decided to have a play with another shaped card and a Pop n Cut die.

I LOVE this card!
I was so happy with my Pop n Cuts attempt.
I started by cutting the shaped inner of the card out of the new Pistachio Pudding In colour card.
I started off with a brown outer but as I had my heart set on a champagne glimmer paper dress and the Modern Medley leftover strip on my desk, I ended up going with the black base.

I went a bit glimmer paper happy on this card!
Cutting both a glimmer dress and a glimmer strip cut with the large scallop edgelit.
Then on to the card front.  This was a piece of cake as I based  it on my previous card.

This time though I decided to make my own flower with the new PANSY PUNCH.
I cut two out of the Modern Medley paper and added a black scallop circle on the back.
I finished my flower off with a gorgeous Very Vintage button with a narrow black ribbon and some gold thread and I also added a bit of glimmer paper behind the button to tie it in to the inside of the card. Then I thought, hang it, I'll add some faux glimmer paper brads too!

I hope the recipient loves this card - cos I do!

Modern Medley fun

I LOVE the Modern Medley DSP!
It makes for beautiful special occasion cards.

This one was for a special birthday on the weekend.
Although I was a bit concerned about having a party in a barn in the middle of August!
They were lucky with the weather, after a shocker of a day Friday, Saturday was not too bad.
Some heaters and open fires and a lovely spit roast and special entertainment by a talented guitar playing son made for a pleasant evening.

For this card I started with a shaped die cut piece (cut with an e-cutter).
I decided to mount it similar to a Z fold card (as the piece was not big enough for a folded card)
I actually started with the inside of this card, as I wanted both the lattice DSP, the lacy edge and the green base to show behind the die cut flowers.

Then on to the card front. I die cut a tag with the new CHALK TALK framelits - love these!
The front of the card was an awkward shape so I decided with a narrow DSP strip and a lace doily to anchor the tag on the card.  The rest was easy. A lovely premade flower from my stash and some chipboard numbers then I added the little happy birthday flag and some gems, pearls and a ribbon bundle to finish.

I was pretty happy with the finished card, even then I almost left it behind on the night!

Enjoy!
