Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper September 2020 challenge


This is my design card for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper September 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 8 x 8 card was commissioned for a friend's birthday. All papers, including inside are from  the DCWV Mariposa stack, a beautiful collection that is almost too lovely to use (but there is still some left). I added some flowers raised up with 3D foam, crocheted butterflies (I didn't crochet them, but bought them like it), the birthday circle from an old kit and a bow upcycled from a piece of ribbon that I think had been with some flowers.

Sapphire anniversary


This was a commissioned card for a couple's 45th wedding anniversary, hence the background of the front of the card was made with blue mirror embossed with an embossing folder and fut off at the end to add a border made with a Martha Stewart punch, with a striped piece of Hot off the press paper to cover the join. I put some mirror card inside so it showed through the gaps in the punched border. The lovely delicate hearts with pearls and the numerals and letters were added and two embroidered bows.



Inside, using another piece of striped Hot off the press paper to hide the join:

For this card I used Paper Boutique background paper on to a lemon patterned card blank, with the Sparkle n sprinkle Eve's sunflower digital image printed, coloured with spectrum noir pens and fussy cut out and matted on to the offcut piece of card with the butterfly added and the dymo letratag sentiment. Also the digital image is called 'Eve's sunflower', the way I've coloured it, it doesn't look like one.

The tide recedes


Another seaside card I made earlier. I still can't remember where the scalloped circles with beach huts came from, but they were just right for what I wanted to do. I stamped and embossed the words of the  poem which were part of a set by rubbadubbado, with the addition of the little puffy stickers, all mounted on the shaped card blank.

This card is similar to one that I  made for a 70th birthday card earlier.I can't remember where the scalloped circles with beach huts came from, but they were just right for what I wanted to do.

Happy birthday


Background paper for this card is from 12 x 12 Tim Holtz idea-ology paper stash vintage shabby ... I love it, but rarely use it. I've got now idea where the topper squares and sentiment panel came from. The flower is from a larger Papermania flower with pieces cut off the pels and a small fabric flower added to the centre and another at the bottom of the card.

Happy birthday to a lovely granddaughter


For this commissioned card I played with inks, using a Hunkydory prism inkpad all over the scalloped edged A5 tent style card blank, blotting in placed to reveal white bits. I stamped the Tim Holtz paisley stamp inked with memento grape jelly,a couple of times to get a long enough piece, cut the sides and rounded the corners, matting on to purple mirror card, wrapping a glittered ribbon around. The embossed square was created using an embossing folder that also created the mat for the printed greeting. A Hobbycraft flower was added - white brushed with memento grape jelly.

Thanks for your help


A commissioned card some time ago for a friend to take to her Chiropractor who was moving on. I created in word clouds with a free online help and got the silhouette clip arts free online too, putting the whole thing together digitally, adding the sentiments and then printing and mounting on to a black card blank.

A card made a while ago for someone who had just passed their test. Sadly, I can't remember where the digital image came from, but I love it. The pieces top and bottom are Hunkydory offcuts and the side pieces of corrugated card were taken from some packaging.
