I love these meeces to pieces.....

My Samples for Crafty Catz
Bubbles and Squeak cd

Now available from

For this card I printed an A4 sheet of Super Smooth white card with a different background on each side and folded in 3 to make an easel card. I then printed another piece for the back layer of the main area and matted this with a piece of matching red card made by cropping and stretching an area from the main design in My Craft Studio graphics programme. The main topper was heavily glittered and placed on using 3d foam tape. A strip of red card and a printed sentiment tag from the cd were raised on deep foam tape to provide the stopper bar. More glitter and gems complete this design.

This little drummer boy is an A5 card with printed background from the cd on Super Smooth white card. Again simple matting and layering on 3d foam tape give this design depth. His hat, jacket, drum and drumsticks have been glazed using 3d Crystal Lacquer on both the main topper and the ribbon tag which was matted onto a red circle cut using Spellbinders - Scalloped Circles. Using printable ribbon, I ran this through the printer in a matching red and added the text in my graphics programme. A silver number peel off and red star gems complete this design. This 8x8" square card is made with Super Smooth white card. I took the topper into MCS and created a background which I then trimmed with a deckled edged rotary blade. I resized the topper and created a red shape slightly larger to layer it on to and typed a hidden "peek a boo" message on it which is seen when the top image is moved to the side. Using printable ribbon, I printed part of the background onto it and using extra strong adhesive tape placed it on the front of the card folding a couple of pleats in it at the edge. I attached both topper layers together with a brad and secured them to the front of the card with 3d foam tape. I printed the text onto matching yellow card and cut it using Spellbinders die - Scalloped Circles. Some bright flower brads finish off this design. For this 8x8" square card made again with Super Smooth white card, I printed backgrounds from the cd and printed out the topper twice, having resized it in my graphics programme. I made a matching plain turquoise matt and cut it to size. I then scored it using my Hougie Board and pricked along the border using my Tim Holtz ruler and used this on the diagonal as the base matt. It was adhered to the card using 3d foam tape and the main topper was decoupaged and placed on top. I cropped the bluebird from the main image and resized it, made a copy and flipped it. I then glazed all 3 birds using 3d crystal Lacquer. The sentiment tag is from the cd. Some turquoise ribbon and gems complete this design.

I thoroughly enjoyed creating these and I hope you will visit the website and have a look at all the other goodies available from http://www.craftycatz.co.uk/
