Bright Lights Maeve

Sharing a diamond point birthday card made for my Sister-in-Law using the Bright Lights Maeve digital mini kit by Opulence by Design Crafts.


I have been meaning to  make one of these card shapes for sometime since I first saw this design made many times by Carol  the Crafty Stamper who is also a  very talented crafter. Pop over to her blog and follow her, she makes some amazing projects.


I used a 7 x 7 inch white card blank to create the card shape and I used one of the backing papers from the mini card making kit with some mint green mirror board.  For this card I also used the second topper that came with the sentiments on the sheet. 
As the background on the topper was a different colourway to the paper that I was using, I cut around Maeve and placed her onto a die cut square of matching paper to co-ordinate with my project.

I also thought a small band of pansy's/violas would look pretty at the top of the card, so I made a few of the Digital Florist Purple and Lemon Pansies and  few Digital Florist Pink and  Lilac Violas with some Pansy leaves in between.
My flowers have been reduced in size a little and I have also added some glossy accents to the centre of  blooms.

Happy 21st Card

I'm sharing a card made for a special birthday using a mini cardmaking kit that I have been looking forward to using for a while and for this card I have used some of the papers.


I think this beautiful design and these vibrant papers will be just perfect for the person I have made this card for.

I started with a white 8 x 8 inch card base and have added some black cardstock between some of the layers. The purple layer was one of the colour block sheets from the Purple Anemone flower forming sheets.

To get the shimmer on the top layer of my paper, I used a textured pearlescent cream paper that I have had for ages and think it was really intended to be used for wedding or special occasion crafting as it has a luxurious feel to it. Using this in my printer has changed the look of my design papers and I'm also making the most of my craft stash too.


I used a very fine gold string bead instead of ribbon that I found at Christmas as a set of 3 colours on a roll and thought it would come in handy. I then chose my flowers, some of which I had previously made up.

I used the the Digital Florist Purple Anemone, the Digital Florist Giant Lilac Poppy,  the Digital Florist Purple and Lemon Pansies, a few Digital Florist Poppy Heads and Foliage Ivy leaves . The little pink dahlia  came from one of the flower sets and it has been reduced in size. I often like to reduce the size of my blooms to suit my project.


I have just added drops of glossy accents to the centres of my flowers and I love the vibrant designs of these collections.
