Purple card and the butterfly is too

Hi
Here is another of http://www.birdscards.com/deep-edge-card-8/ files.  The butterfly really has mauve sparkles on it but the camera insisted it was blue.  Well, isn't purple part of the blue family?  lol

Peonies, poppies and a puppy

Hi
Just a wee note to show off the gorgeous peonies and poppies that grow in my yard.  I cannot say garden anymore as it is mostly grass.  I have dug out the poppies year after year and they still come back.  This year there are far more than I have ever had.  :)
This little guy is more than 10 years old and he lives across the street from me.  He loves to come visit me and get his little treat.  He stayed at my house for a week while his people were on holidays.  What fun he was but I was glad when he was able to go home.  My goodness he is very high maintenance but we loved having him.
I do have some cards on the go and they will get posted one of these days but in the meantime I wanted to share these pics.
Have a Blessed day.

Deep Edge Card and flowers

Hi
This is one of the free files that Bird so generously shares with the card making world.  I used a strip of the same mauve glitter on the bottom of the card as the Marianne Design medallion to give it some sparkle.  The roses on each side are black and purple, made by me.

Camera card

Hi

I have a blogging friend who does wonderful picture taking so I thought this would be an appropriate card for him.  His name isn't Michael as it says but I wanted to show where the sentiment could go.

My pictures aren't very clear but the second pic is to try and show you the bellows in front.   Inside the card there are pockets for pictures or whatever. 

If you really want to see how it looks and how to do it here is the link.

Penny slider card

Hi
Such a fun little card.  It is 5" x 6" so it is a bit of an irregular shape.  The butterfly and rose are from my stash that I made awhile ago.  The gorgeous dp is covered up with the music paper but it is on the back of the card so some of it is showing.
Have a Blessed day.

Accordian fold and vine

 

 

Hi

This was such a pretty technique that I found on   http://shesasassylady.blogspot.ca/  under Gypsy Made Simple-Wedding Accordian Card.

I don't have a Gypsy but I thought I could make something similar on the Cricut Expression. 

Sheila said she would try vellum next time to make the accordian pleating.  So rather than play with cardstock I went straight to SU vellum.  It works beautifully but is a lot of work.  I will have to score a bit more the next time.  Maybe it will go easier the next time I do it, which I certainly will.

The vine is cut with a die and glued on .  The inside needed something so I just used the negative from the heart border.  I ran the front panel through a Cuttlebug folder.

It is a gorgeous card and the only time consuming thing is the pleating.  Much prettier in person or maybe click on the pic.

Have a Blessed day.
