Baby Girl Card With Pink Organdy Flowers

I just loved the pastel flowers that I created using CTMH organdy ribbon (see video tutorial here) and couldn't wait to make a card using them. I think that these flowers would work really well on baby cards or layouts, shower invitations, princess or ballerina layouts (they remind of tutus) etc.

Paper - White Daisy cardstock (CTMH), Pink cardstock (Bazzill)
Stamps - Sweet Baby C1359 (CTMH)
Ink - Baby Pink (CTMH)

Other - Hearts Embossing folder (Bringing Crafts Too You), border punch (Martha Stewart), liquid glass (CTMH), glue dots, 3D foam, needle, thread

Layered Organdy Ribbon Flower

In this video I mistakenly say that you need 15" of ribbon, you actually need 18"

Birthday Card With Layered Organdy Ribbon Flower - Mojo Monday 183

For this weeks Mojo Monday sketch I have made a birthday card for a dear friend of mine. I used some new designer paper from Prima and created a hand made organdy flower with a center made from a Close To My Heart designer brad and pearls. I have created a video for how to make these cute little flowers, please see my next post.

 Please Note : in my video I mistakenly say that you need 15" of organdy ribbon when you actually need 18", I do say the correct length later but just wanted to clear that up in case there is any confusion.

Here is another closeup of the flower -

Mojo Monday #181 - Live Inspired Stamp Set

The first Monday of every month is a Mojo Monday contest. For this card I used some Basic Grey designer paper and a leaf embossed cardstock that I won at a crop (it's difficult to see the embossed pattern in the picutures). I added some hand made ribbon rose buds to pick up on the subtle blue in the pattern and coloured the clear crystal flourishes with my Black Copic marker.

Masculine Birthday Card - Digital Image

March is a big month for birthdays in my family. I needed a few cards suitable for middle aged men and when I couldn't find what I wanted in my stamp sets I started searching for some digital images. I found these really cute 'Gus' images on the site 'Bugaboo Stamps'. They are just perfect for the kinds of cards I wanted to make. This is the first time that I have used digi images. I really liked the fact that I could instantly upload the images that I wanted.

I simply printed the images on my Neenah cardstock and coloured with my Copic markers. I paper pieced the robe by printing the image on printed paper, cutting out the robe and gluing it over the original image.

Supplies - Card size is 7" x 5"

Paper - Neenah Solar White (for image), White Daisy, Buttercup and Dutch Blue cardstock (CTMH), Sweet Home printed paper (CTMH)

Accessories - Dutch Blue brads (CTMH)

Mojo Monday #179 - Card with Vintage Flat Ribbon Rose

Good morning everyone, hope you all had a wonderful long weekend. Here is the card I made for this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  The rose that I used on this card is called a vintage flat rose. I made it using 1" satin ribbon. I love the way it looks and the fact that it is a fairly flat flower so is suitable for layout pages. If you would like to learn how to make this flower I highly recommend a book call Ribbonwork The Complete Guide by Helen Gibb.
