For a grandson

This was a commissioned card for a Grandson who loves horse riding. The main paper is Paper Nation and the piece across the middle from PDA card and craft. I found the picture and mounted it on an offcut, having digitally put the horse silhouette into the picture and added the sentiment before printing.

For another football fan

A similar card to the previous oneI used some chalk board papers for the background and the football one from PDA card and craft. I then added the boots and the ball stickers, the picture of the players and the Kanban sentiment.

For a West Ham supporter

Card made in March for my stepson, a West Ham supporter (yes, there are some - lol!)/ I used some chalk board papers for the background and the football one from PDA card and craft. I then added the boots and the ball stickers, the West Ham strip and the printed sentiment.

For a football fan

A recent commission asking for a card for a young man who loves football. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the Happy Birthday cut out of the card blank, putting a red piece of paper inside the card to show through. The paper with the footballer was from Paper Cellar Men 2 papers and I used a football sticker to put over the one in the picture. I then added the letters and the England footballer strip. It's an 8 x 8 card which gave room to cut with the punch and still have room to put everything else, while keeping some white space.

For a twin sister

This was a special commission during lockdown for a lady who was approaching her 90th birthday and wouldn't be able to meet up with her twin sister, so I was asked to make a special card. I used Hunkydory supplies. On the front, I printed out the sentiment and, as it was on card that has a bit of a gloss, there was time to put silver detail powder on it and heat emboss. This was then cut and embossed with a Spellbinder's oval die, using the next one up to mat on to with 3D tape. To the circle of decoupaged flowers I added the crocheted butterflies.

I was asked to put the message inside: Haven't we done well to get here? Once again I heat embossed with detail silver, embossing and cutting the sentiments using the Spellbinders dies.

Showing back on the left with decoupaged flowers and another crocheted butterfly:

I was told that the lady sending the card and the recipient were thrilled with it.

Quick and simple

Similar to others shown before this was a recent make, using a Kanban topper mounted on to a copper mat and then on to a square from the Crafter's Companion Downton Abbey collection and then on to a dark brown card blank.
