If has paper, stamping, dragonfly brads and some flower ribbon. The swirly flowers were from The Works with gems added and the Birthday sentiment as well as the Dear Daugher made on my dymo letratag.

Thinking of you

A card using the same lovely embossing folder from Lisa Horton as for the previous card, but this time I got it the right way round so the design is embossed on the self adhesive copper paper, with the addition of a flower bought long ago from The Works and the sentiment circle from Anna Griffin.

Get well soon

I found an offcut of card that had originally been run through an embossing folder and thought I would use one of the recently purchased folders from Lisa Horton  .... but I debossed instead of embossed, but I didn't want to waste it so I used various alcohol pens to fit in the debossed leaves. I then added the spotty card either side (from my scraps( and the sparkly gold trim, adding the get well sentiment.

CHNC challenge 523

This is my design card for my CHNC challenge 523 -  please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of 'upcycle or use something old'.

For my first Christmas card of this new year I've upcycled a topper taken from a card received (not just the Christmas gone, but the one before that). The rest of the supplies used are quite old, including the background paper from the Crafter's Companion Decorative Christmas pad ... most of this has been covered, but you can see the  silver and white through the glittered wired ribbon with sparkly snowflakes - this is also old, as well as the glittered tape on the left.

Merry Christmas

A commissioned card made recently to be given to a young man who enjoys climbing, walking etc. The toppers I used were originally from Kanban. Although these weren't Christmassy, I used en embossed A5 card blank which I brushed with red distress ink, cutting the bottom of the card with a tonic die, with some washi tape and silver snowflakes from Italian Options. I put some silver mirror paper inside to show though the die cut part at the bottom.

Happy birthday, golfer

A card I've made today using Lisa Horton's padded quilt embossing folder with some green card that has a bit of a glossy look, with the Happy Birthday die cut from the Crafter's Companion rose gold collection using an offcut of matt silver. I've had the decoupage kit for the golfer for some time and can't remember where it came from. I thought the diamond look of the background was good for a golfer  ... they wear jumpers with diamonds, don't they? - lol

Once again I'm showing two photos because the first one shows the decoupaged golfer well, but the second one shows the die cut greeting better:

Thinking of you

Apart from the background piece of red mirror card, the rest of the design was made up with pieces left over from the previous card, again using embossing folders from Lisa Horton and some of her scalloped & plain circle dies, plus the sentiment circle and large gems.

Mirror card and holographic are hard to show properly in photos - so once again I've included two to try and give an idea of what the card looks like.

Thank you very much

Having received my set of embossing folders from Lisa Horton (from Create and Craft) and already shown a card using the sunflowers, I've used three of the others to put this card together. Awhile back I bought a set of dies and stamps by Lisa and have used some of the nested scalloped & plain circles dies for this card. 

The padded quilt embossing folder was used  with red mirror card for the background and some of the red used for the inner piece was using the cubes embossing folder. The Dotty pieces were cut using silver holographic card (I actually debossed by mistake, but still used it). I then added the sentiment circle in the middle. Everything was matted on to a white card blank.

As I knew the middle of the main piece would be covered I cut a circle out of it to use on another card rather than wasting all of the covered part. 

Mirror card and holographic are hard to show properly in photos - I've included two to try and give an idea of what the card looks like.

Relax, indulge, enjoy!

I sent this to my granddaughter for her birthday on Saturday. I posted on the previous Monday, thinking that was enough time, but she only received it today.

The card blank was covered with a piece of Basic Grey paper, other pieces of paper being from the Craft House Cupcakes paper pack - this has such a lovely sheen to it which doesn't show up in the photo.

The 'topper' is an ATC made long, long ago when I used to exchange ATCs with groups (and keep at least one for myself). The image is Dotty at home bath time from Charmed Crafts and cards plus Dewdrop Crafts Bubble stamps.

Sunflowers

I've received my set of embossing folders from Lisa Horton (from Create and Craft) and couldn't wait yesterday to try them out. I've tried quite a few of them already, but 'played' more with the sunflowers folder, using a piece of white pearlescent card, running another piece through the folder and cutting out the middle flower and colouring with chameleon pens. I've included two photos to try to show the depth of embossing and the shine. I raised up the middle flower with 3D foam.

I was tempted to add a greeting, but like it without ... and it can be used for any purpose.


Showing the raised up sunflower:
