Blossoms and butterflies


I saw the lovely vibrant colour pallette for The Paper Players 503:

and liked the look of it, so this card is for that, hoping that the colours are near enough. I used a couple of pieces of paper from The Works with some butterflies and a sentiment panel added - clean and simple.

Pink flowers and butterflies


Another aperture card made some time ago, using one of those Kanban gold foiled card blanks and stamping the inside with one of my favourite sentiment stamps (Happy Birthday wish by Finestamps), inking with versamark and heat embossing with detail gold, then adding the lovely glittery and 'squishy' butterflies and flowers.

For two bowls players


A while ago I was asked to make two cards for bowls enthusiasts ... they could be much alike, but just a bit different. Once again I used the Personal impressions stamp, colouring a bit. The background is Hunkydory card and I just added the gems and sentiments.

This is for:

The sisterhood of crafters: masculine
The male room 141: birthday
Dream valley 230: add gems or pearls or both

Birthday bowls


A card made a while ago for a bowls lover's birthday using Paper Nation background paper, a piece of offcut paper to mat the image which had been stamped with the Personal Impressions bowler and coloured with spectrum noir alcohol pens. This was raised up with 3D foam. Then the sentiment was added and some gems.

The Lord is my strength and my song


Before the pandemic I was asked to make some cards with scripture verses on - I usually have boxes of cards for sale at church, but, of course, sadly we haven't been meeting at church since lockdown, so my boxes of cards are sitting there waiting.

Quite a long while ago I bought a couple of packs of postcards with matching envelopes from TKMaxx, thinking that they would come in handy one day. So I used on of the cards on the white card blank and one of the envelope fronts to run through the printer with the scripture verse ...  and then wrote the reference by hand. The little burlap birds came from The Works.

Happy anniversary


Similar to some others I've shown recently, a CAS card using a Kanban white card blank with silver hearts with a window showing the foiled card inside it with the Happy Anniversary topper upcycled from an old card.

Kiss and make up shaker


Kiss and make up is the name of the paper pack that I used for this shaker card. It is an 8 x 8 commission a while ago for a teenager who loves make up. I was also asked to include a mobile phone, hence the one printed with the Happy Birthday greeting and adhered with 3D foam. The 'mirror' with lights was taken from an internet freebie, cut out to make a frame, layering with acetate and 3D foam with a digitally created make up border printed and beads added inside to make the shaker.

Friends like you ...


... are far and few

 This is a card very similar to the one I made for my Craftyhazelnut's June challenge, but I've only just got round to blogging this one.

 The card was made papers and other elements from a pack by Craftwork Cards called Sweet Pea - peas in a pod collection, which I bought some years ago. Then I added the sentiments, including the one with the little butterfly added.

15th birthday


This is a commissioned 8  x 8 card for a 15th birthday using a floral piece of paper that was in a magazine leaflet. The big butterfly is one from a set I got a long time ago from TKMaxx, flowers from Hobbycraft. The card was card on the right hand side and a piece of pink lined paper was punched using a Martha Stewart punch, leaving an edge so that the lovely satin looking card from inside would show. I lined the rest of the right hand side of inside the card and added a border.
