Birth of twins


A commissioned card that I made some time ago, but didn't show on my blog. Background papers by Kanban and all the 3d stickers from  Poundland. I printed the sentiment on to a piece of Crafter's Companion Centura pearl which gave me enough time to throw on some detail silver powder and heat emboss. Than I cut and embossed with a todo die.

Happy birthday 4 year old


A commissioned card made recently for a 4 year old boy, using lovely Hunkydory supplies. Hard to see here, but the top bit says 'Hope you have a day filled with lots of fun). There's lots of gold foiling, although not all shows up here:

Christmas in red


Very similar to the previous card, this time the Papermania Urban Home by Christmas stamp was inked in red and heat embossed with clear detail powder - straight on to the card blank. Once again, a small Kanban topper was added.

I tried to show the lovely gloss that the embossing has produced, but very difficult to see this in a photo.

Home by Christmas


Another one layer card made by inking the Papermania Urban Home by Christmas stamp with versmark and heat embossing with detail gold powder. I added a white and silver snowflake from Italian Options at the top left and bottom right, but they don't really show up here. The embossing powder has really made the image so lovely and glossy - difficult for the camera to pick up, but I took the photo at a angle so at least a bit of it shows up. The little square topper is an old one from Kanban.

Happy new home


A commissioned new home card that I made a while ago, using up various offcut pieces of patterned paper, a left over piece of ribbon, a key that had been lurking in my supplies all by itself, no idea where it came from and some of the little wooden houses that I think originally came from The Works ... some time ago.

 I'm joining in the Pixie playground ... I haven't been in there much and I so want to get back, even if it's only to sit on a bench and watch everyone else ... it you don't know what I'm talking about, click on the challenge link below.

Happy 35th anniversary


This was a comissioned 8 x 8 card using background by Hobby House, an offcut piece from DCWV Meriposa paper and various stickers, sentiment and letters. The recipients love cats, hence the inclusion of them.

 Sorry, the photo is a bit too dark ...  and the card has gone now.

Thinking of you


Another CAS card I made yesterday using another Crafter's Companion gemini edgeables (I'm loving these ... so glad I bought them). This time it's die cut into silver holographic paper and mounted on to textured card blank, with the addition of the flowers. This time I ran the die cut through my zyron in order to stick the delicate bits on.

 It's difficult to get a photo when holographic is used, so I'm showing two at different angles.

Simply birthday


I couldn't resist making another similar card with one of the other edgeables in the set from Crafter's Companion, this time using the Happy Birthday, cutting an offcut piece of Hunkydory adorable scorable. I didn't glue under the lovely edging - it just gives a bit of dimension. The large yellow flower has been in my stash for years - it seemed to be just right for the card with the little flower added.

The yellow is a lot more sunshiny irl ... it's gone a bit dull here now.

Simply thank you


For this CAS card, a white card blank on to which is the die cut with the lovely gold card (an offcut piece) die cut with the Crafter's Companion gemini edgeables (I bought the set recently). It was very fiddly putting little dots of glue on the centres of the flowers. I'm really tempted to add something, but I quite like it just CAS.

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper August 2020 challenge


This is my design card for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper August 2020 challenge. .If you make anything that includes some patterned paper you can link your entries and you might be the randomly chosen winner of the lovely prize that I'm giving away. Please click on the challenge link to find out more and join in the fun.

 This is a commissioned 8 x 8 card for a Granddaughter's 21st birthday. I was asked to include a white mini car and some make up ... and some flowers. All papers are Dovecraft from their Kiss and Make up paper pad.

 The sentiment panel was done on computer and printed out on to Hunkydory shades of pink card, quickly pouring detail gold embossing powder on and heating. This was then cut out and embossed with a todo die, cutting another for underneath, raising the sentiment panel with foam pads. The Birthday sentiment panel is gold foiled, as are the numerals, although the gold doesn't show up very well here. Flowers were all from Hobbycraft (some time ago because I haven't been there now for months because of shielding.

Red, white and blue Christmas


Red, white and blue isn't a traditional Christmas combo, but I think it works. I've been sorting my Christmas stuff, some of it quite old, and came across a little bag of red, white and blue toppers (haven't a clue where they came from ... it's too long ago to remember). I had some offcuts of Christmas papers and some red card that needed using, so this is the first of a few cards made using those toppers. The background of the paper with the houses looks more lilac  on here, but it is definitely blue irl.
