Let's go to Asia


For this card I used a black card blank layered with squares from the Crafter's Companion Downton Abbey collected, inking the kimono stamp with memento grape jelly (the stamp is one of a set bought years ago and there's no indication of the origin). I added the lovely corner pieces (can't remember where they came from).

On your new move


This was commissioned for a friend to send to her grandson, who was moving: The background square on the blue card blank was from the Crafter's Companion Downton Abbey collection. The bird house was from a collection by Craftwork cards, mounted on to a dark blue square. Sentiments made on computer, printed and cut into strips.

This was made a while ago for a six-year old's birthday, using the lovely Stampendous 'dress up' inked with memento tuxedo black, stamped on to pink paper with circles (difficult to see here) and coloured with spectrum noir pens with glitter, with various offcuts of fairy fantasy papers (think they are Bo Bunny, but not sure), with the addition of the numeral and letters and birthday sentiment. Everything was matted on to a pink card blank with white circles.

Movie night


A while ago I was commissioned to make a card for a grandson who is into media, film, techie etc so I used a filmstrip die which cut and embossed the dark grey vellum - all other bits were from Hobbycraft and the sentiment pieces were done on my dymo letratag.

The card opened to see the back:

New home card


This was a commissioned card a while ago, using Hunkydory supplies. I cut the piece that would normally be on the front of the card and added the other shape. The piece across the base of the stand up piece was decoupaged.


I added a strut at the back so that it could stand:

Roses for rose


This was a commissioned birthday card for a 90 year old, named Rose, so  I thought, what better than to use roses on the card.

 I used one of my favourite stamps by Magenta, inking with memento tuxedo black  and colouring with spectrum noir pens. I cut into the four squares and mounting on to a piece of magazine freebie paper. I used another piece to add to the cut off edge of the A5 card, using a Martha Stewart Happy Birthday punch. The sentiment strips were done on my dymo letratag. I added a matching piece of paper inside.
