Fairytale Pop-Up Wedding Card

This card means alot to me as I made it for my little brothers wedding. I used a white notecard from Papermania as the card base. 

The centre of this card is by far my favourite part. I had so much fun creating the pop-up. For the landscape I used various green patterned paper from my stash. I created the look of hills and grass using the Mama Elephant Landscape Trio and Lawn Fawn Grassy Border dies. The rainbow and heart were die cut from more Lawn Fawn Let's Polka paper, using my Cricut Explore and an image from the Create-a-Critter cartridge. The remaining images were stamped using Memento Tuxedo black ink. I used the knight, princess and castle images from the Royal Cuteness stamp set by Paper Smooches and I used the drago, unicorn and second castle images from Critters Ever After by Lawn Fawn. Again, I coloured the images with Spectrum Noir pencils and blended with pencil stubs and blending solution. I used a Uniball white gel pen to create cute freckles on the images. Finally I added a sentiment, also from Critters Ever After, and a few more mini flowers punched from paper scraps. Magic!

First Birthday Card for Thomas

I made this card for my God-son Thomas' first birthday. I love the background paper which I've had in my stash for a while (I think it might be from Kaisercraft). The photo-realistic grass contrasts with the cartoony style of the other images, which I cut on my cricut mini using the create-a-critter cartridge. I love using bakers twine on my cards and this one is no exception. This green twine is from the Dovecraft riverbank revels collection. I used a yellow My Paper World paper pen instead of enamel dots - it works out much cheaper and I can create them just the size I need each time. Finally I used my dymo label maker and a light blue label tape to complete the sentiment.
