A 'Dressy' Celebration!

My card today is one I made a few weeks ago for a friend who reached the grand age of 50! She's a very modern lady so I needed to make something a bit special and sparkly and this was the result. It uses the Dress Up Framelits with the dress made in Basic Black and the shrug in Silver Glimmer Paper. For the sentiment I inked part of a stamp from Create a Cupcake, the 'you're' is a stamp from Oh,Hello which I masked and inked in Stazon and the 50 was cut with the now retired Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies.

Door Plaque

Last of the pink & sparkly things for this week is a door plaque to match the card and money wallet I made for my Grandaughter.
Supplies are pretty much the same as I used for the previous two posts so I won't bore you with details. Made with a piece of chipboard that comes as packing with the Glimmer Paper - so a bit of 'upcycling' as well (which seems to be the latest fad!!)

Thanks for stopping by - back soon

Birthday Girl

It is my eldest Grandaughter's birthday next week but, as they have now moved back to Suffolk, we had a family get together to celebrate both hers and her brother's birthday before they went and this is the card I made for her. She will be 5 (going on 15!) and loves all things pink and sparkly so was absolutely thrilled with this as she can hang it up in her new bedroom!
There is a name for these type of cards but can't for the life of me think what it is at the moment. Anyway it's made with the Circles Collection and Dress-Up Framelits, Itty Bitty punch and the Typeset Alphabet Bigz die.
Back tomorrow with a matching money holder.

Birthday Dresses

A few weeks ago I made some of these lip salve holders to give as gifts at my class. When my daughter saw them she asked if I would make one for my youngest grandaughter who will be 3 next week. After finding a pack of three fruit flavour lip salves (which she will think is lipstick like Mummy's) I made these three holders using the Dress Up Framelits.
Mt grandaughter often tells us we have to call her Robin - her brother is Batman - and is quite the little tomboy but, now and again, she's very girly and likes all things pink and sparkly hence the dresses. I used some retired Pretty in Pink cardstock and DSP along with some Pink Pirouette DSP and Glimmer Paper and decorated with flowers and ribbons.
I also needed to make a birthday card (below) and chose to make a cake - pink & sparkly so not really my kind of thing but I'm sure she'll love it!

Dress up!

I always like to make the ladies who come to my classes a little gift to take home and this is what I did for yesterday's class. I have seen lots of similar designs on various blogs so, as I have no idea who made the original, I cannot give them credit but thank you whoever you are!
I used the Dress Up Framelits to make the dresses with the Polka Dot Parade DSP and cardstock in Pumpkin Pie, Marina Mist, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Real Red, however most of the co-ordinating ribbon is now retired. The necklaces are Basic Rhinestones and Basic Pearls and they hold a lip salve. Very cute!
