Thank you


This was a quick card using a ready patterned card blank on to which I matted a piece of paper from a Crafter's Companion Downton Abbey collection, adding the swirl and 3D thank you sticker from Anna Griffin and the big gem.

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.

Sending special wishes


Another card made with one of those lovely foiled card blanks by Kanban, this time with a circular window with the Sending special wishes circle inside the card covered with a foiled vellum overlay. It's difficult to see here, but all the foiling is in copper tones.

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.

Cat lover's birthday


It was a friend's birthday a couple of days ago. She has a cat and loves him and always likes to receive a birthday card with a cat on it (similar to the one she has - this one was fussy cut from a magazine page). The background and the Spellbinders marvelous square die cut are from Hunkydory and Kanban. The lovely glittery cat and flower from stash and the Dovecraft birthday sentiment.

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.

Afternoon tea


The background was made with an embossing folder on to which was matted a piece of lovely paper from the Crafter's Companion Downton Abbey collection. The pink band was threaded through the Kanban frame with the addition of the afternoon tea topper from an Anita kit.

 It doesn't show well here, but the frame and the pink band have gold foiling.

For a keen cyclist


This is a commissioned card for a keen cyclist. I used an embossing folder with the lovely fuschia pink mirror card, also printing the sentiment. The  background paper is unknown, with strips either side of the ebossing from bits and pieces. The butterfly is a lone one left over from a set of them - I thought it went quite well with the lovely bicycle 3D sticker from Hobbycraft.
