For a lover of mathematics

I was commissioned to make a card for a great grandson who loved maths and currently is into fractions, decimals and percentages. I was pleased to find this maths table as a free download, printing it out and layering on to an A5 side opening landscape card. I generated the sentiments on computer, printed out and backed with a dark green mirror card, using another piece on to which I put the wooden numerals.

Happy lockdown Anniversary

I was commissioned to make an Anniversary card for a daughter and son-in-law celebrating in lockdown. They planned to have a special meal delivered. I was asked if somehow I could show two cats to represent theirs, sitting at table with them ... well, this is what I managed to do. I found an image of a cat at table to download and 'played' digitally, reversing the image for the second cat and putting side by side with the sentiment 'Please may we join you for your celebration meal?' This was then printed and put on the stand up part of the easel card, colouring the cats with spectrum noir pencils.

The actual piece of card used to make the easel was embossed and brushed with fired brick distress ink ... and it wasn't till now that I realise only a very little of this shows under the sentiment ... I should have taken a picture of the back.

I used a Papermania stamp inked with memento love letter to randomly stamp over the base, wrapping a ribbon round this and adding the printed greeting matted on to red mirror card to serve as a stopper.

I cut a piece of red mirror cardwith the heartfelt wishes Gemini edge'able die and stuck at the top (covering the joins at the back with another piece of card). Hearts were added (the one between the cats says 'with love'.

For a cricket fan

This is a commissioned side opening A5 card for an adult grandson who loves cricket. The background and the ball were free downloads which I played with digitally, adding the text and tweaking until I got the size I wanted. Once this was printed out (after a few 'false' tries) I added the gold foiled photos that were originally from Kanban.

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper February 2021 challenge

This is my design card for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper February 2021 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.

For my 8 x 8 card I used pieces from The Paper Boutique Winter Gnomes collection, matting and layering various paper pieces with the topper and a couple of the sentiment pieces. I then added the sparkly gems at the corners.

The optional theme for my CHNC challenge 527 this week is 'Christmas gnomes' so I thought I would make another card with some of the collection in addition to the card shown on the Christmas challenge. If you're starting your Christmas cards, perhaps you'd like to join in ... and it's only an optional theme ... the challenge is 'anything goes as long as it's Christmas'.

Home sweet home

A new home card started yesterday and finished today with the brick background of a C & C piece of card folded to make an A5 card blank with the addition of the three floral panels with the 'just for you' on the top left hand corner.

Lots of love

A similar card to those shown yesterday - this time featuring the layered bird topper with the silver foiled sentiments with the addition of an embroidered flower - some years ago I bought a metre of these (just snip one) and I put one on the back of the card as well. Everything else was from the C & C birthday kit.

Just for you

Another card made yesterday using some of the C & C birthday kit, this time using another A4 card folded to make the A5 card blank, adding the 3 pieces of the picture and the sentiment of Best Wishes. On the left hand corner of the first piece of the topper it says 'just for you'. The foiling around the pieces of the topper and Best Wishes is silver (hard to see in the photos)

Two kittens

Two cards made just before Christmas - commissioned for a grandson's birthday and his partner's. They had recently welcome two kittens and I was asked to include them - I used the same digital, reversing one. 

On this card I added a couple of strips of offcuts and the letters for the name, adding the gold foiled birthday sentiment from Dovecraft and a couple of hearts - lovely and furry to touch.


On this card I added the striped cold foiled strip and the die cut circle (Spellbinder) on to which I had printed the sentiment, brushing with distress ink. Once again, I added a couple of hearts.

These are for:

Happy Birthday, Great Grandson

Yesterday I was asked to make a card for a great grandson who is going to be 3 ... it was needed quickly, so I go out my Pooh Bear stuff and this is the result. Paper from a pad from Poundland and glittered circles from there too ... ages ago. Sentiments and the number from stash.
