First communion card


This is a commissioned card made some time ago for a grandson (I know my friend will recognise it). The foiled background was from Hunkydory and the cross is a Tattered lace die cut, using one of the bits from within the scrolled pieces of the cross to form a heart. I can't remember where I got the image from that was printed cut.

This is for:

Purple birthday card


A commissioned card made recently for a special friend. I love crafting with purple and shades of lilac. The background square is from a Crafter's Companion Downton Abbey collection, as is the inner square (from a double sided piece). The topper is a Kanban one from long ago. Everything on to a square card blank.

This is for:

 Di's digi designs: lots of squares
Cutie pie 150: hip to be square

With sympathy


A card I made recently using a La Blanche lily stamp inked with memento tuxedo black and coloured with spectrum noir pencils (I used pencils instead of alcohol pens, so nothing showed through as it was stamped directly to the card blank. I stamped the corners with Penny Black corner piece stamp inked with memento grape jelly and used the Penny Black floral silhouette stamp between the corners. I used a With Sympathy stamp with the same ink, masking off one word so I could stamp top and bottom.

Blossoms and butterflies


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

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. The pastel pink embossed circles in the corners came from a wedding pack from Hobbycraft.
