Daisies in blue


Used white cardblank then cut patterned scrapbook paper slightly smaller.  Cut dark blue strip then used Fiskars border punch embosser to cut edge design.  Used 3 daisy punches to create varying sized daisies.  Added a gem in center for embellishment.  Add greeting of your choice to meet your desired occasion.

Simple daisy


Used white cardblank then dark pink cardstock cut slightly smaller.  Cut strip of patterned cardstock and added along the side.  Used 3 sizes of  daisy punches to create daisies x 3 in colours to co-ordinate with background colours.  Used a labeller to make wording.  This card could be turned sideways and the narrow blue stips I used would then look like flower stems.  This card could be used for many occasions.  The background pink cardstock could be embossed with Cuttlebug embossing folder.  Let your imagination go!!  This was created before I had a Cuttlebug. 

Easter




Used white cardblank and metallic blue cardstock cut slightly smaller.  Embossed with Heritage bundle embossing folder using Cuttlebug then cut out center with  largest of the oval Nellie's multi frame MFD 007 designs  (purchased from Ecstasy Crafts) using the Cuttlebug.  Glued onto cardblank then added an Easter sticker to the center.  The outside and corners were embellished with silver starform stickers (Ecstasy Crafts).  Any sticker to suit your occasion in the center could change this card completely.

Lace Door cutout




Used white cardblank.  Cut pink cardstock slightly smaller and used A2 Plus Embossing Folder (lace door) from Cuttlebug.
Glued onto cardblank then added 3D flower and Happy Birthday sticker.  This could be used in various ways, just by changing the colour of cardstock and the 3D accent in the middle.  A very simple, quick, yet elegant design.

Parchment

Used white card blank and multicoloured parchment paper.  The parchment was cut using a Nellie's mutiframe die cut using the Cuttlebug.  Then embossed and pierced the parchment using a flower pattern.  Added Starform stickers along the edge for embellishment.

Fish

Used white card blank and two layers of blue cardstock.  The layers were cut with a Nellie's multiframe die using the Cuttlebug then the darker blue frame was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing frame.  Acetate was put behind the cardstock to look like glass.  Starform fish stickers were coloured and some were put on the top of the acetate and the negative (remaining sticker pieces) were put directly behind to create 3D effect which doesn't really show in the scan.

Parchment butterflies in gold


White card blank.  Mapped  design on parchment paper with white tinta ink then embossed.  The butterflies are 3D although they don't appear to be in this scan.  The butterflies were retraced on additional parchment with tinta then embossed and cut out then glued over top to create 3D effect.  Gold stickles glue was used in flower centers and for butterfly bodies.  The card was embellished with starform stickers.  Could be used for many occasions.
