Hello
Well what
a palava I have had with blogger.com I have no idea why it suddenly
stopped letting me add photos then stopped me even getting in to
it...thank goodness my friend Nicky is a whizz and got me set up with
Opera that lets me do both!!!
The card
for today is made using a lovely new cd I got this week – its by
Ohh La La Crafting and called Yesterday's Memories. The cd is crammed
to bursting point with the most colourful and usable sets of
artwork...stunning sheets but then the backing sheets are some of the
nicest I have seen on any cd – and believe me I have a lot
myself....
So
materials for this card I used ….
Heat mat
to work on and protect your surface – I always use it...
Main image
sheet
Basket
weave backing paper
A4 black
card
Piece of
metallic blue card
Martha
Stewart Optic Dot border punch
Martha
Stewart corner punch
Pink &
Blue 6mm ribbon
Selection
of different gems
Sticky
pads
Eazi Score
Board & tool
Tonic 8”
guillotine
Scissors
Tweezers
Shaping
tool from www.dimensionstamps.com
Foam
shaping mat – stamping mat or even a mouse mat
To
make the card …
I started
by folding the black A4 card in half to make my A5 card blank/
The
backing paper was cut to fit the card front leaving a narrow border
all round – then I punched the 4 corners with the Martha Stewart
corner punch just cannot recall what it is called though sorry.
This was
attached to the card with double sided tape.
Using the
optic dot border punch I punched one side of the metallic blue card
then measured where the main image panel would fit and punched the
other side.
The main
image was then stuck to the punched panel with double sided tape and
after that fitted to the card front.
The
pyramage is off centre so when I put the large sticky pads on the
back of the layers I ran the pritt stick over the pads so I had more
time to get lined up correctly.
Once all
the panels were in place I added a plain and simple Happy Birthday
sentiment to the bottom of the panel and tied 2 lengths of ribbon
together to create a pretty bow – I left long tails of both ribbons
and fixed the bow to the left side of the card using a clear sticky
dot.
To finish
I used gems – clear pointed AB gems in the 4 corners and silver
pearls as the ear-ring and brooch centre as well as the dot of the i
in the sentiment – and lastly 4 black gems as buttons on the blue
dress with the same on her shoes!
And so
there it is...a pretty card suitable for ladies of any age – and I
chose the Happy Birthday but it would be great for all manner of
events
See you
again tomorrow with another card from another new cd I got in the
week!

Gorgeous card. I've never seen that CD before and you've made a great advert for it! BTW lots of us have had problems with uploading all of a sudden ....I think it's a problem with Internet Explorer. Glad you got sorted.

A great card and well done for using this new CD so quickly. Mine arrived a couple of days ago but I've only had time for a quick look at it so far. Now I've seen your card I must make time to take a proper look at this CD.
