Celebrate

Two cards made with the lovely Heart Bouquet 3D embossing folder with cutting die by Lisa Horton, one cut using gold mirror card and the other holographic silver mirror. I then used offcut pieces of each to cut the daisy that I added to the alternate mirror card, adding these with 3D foam. Having adhered it all to white card blanks, one opening as normal and one as a tent style card, I then added die cut 'Celebrate' from Crafter's Companion (part of their Create-a-card triple easel ornate frames, cutting the edge pieces in the opposite mirror card.

Joy to you at Easter

I've just finished this card made using the lovely sunflowers embossing folder from Lisa Horton with a piece of cream iridescent paper, with the addition of the lovely cross topper upcycled from a card. I used an A5 card from Kanban, cut down to the regular square size.

I've used two photos to try to show the embossing to its best and the third photo is the back of the card.

Oxide distress ink

As well as playing with alcohol inks yesterday, I got out some of the oxide distress ink pads and used a picked raspberry ink pad to randomly ink over a white piece of card. I then doodled around the edges and inked the lovely Inkadinkado stamp by Dawn Houser with memento tuxedo black, using a few other small stamps that I have in my collection (that haven't been used for ages).

Simply for you

Yesterday I got out the alcohol inks that I haven't used for ages and ages and had a play. This is a card I made with one of the 'play' results using red pepper and wild plum toned down with blending solution, stamping part of the Dandelion daydreams stamp by Phill Martin inked with stazon jet black and also stamped the sentiment from a set from Crafter's Companion.

I wrapped the card with four different eyelash pieces bunched together. Everything on to a black card blank.

Large easel card

I was commissioned to make a special 8 x 8 card featuring quite a few requests - to include a hat, art deco, volunteer, choir, Doc Martins and cakes .... this is the result. The background paper for the upright part of the easel is from Marilyn Robertson's Kimono 8 x 8 paper pad - it's glittered and looks much better irl than it can be seen here. I managed to get some free clipart for the volunteer aspect of the request and one of a choir. The hat was also a clipart, printed and fussy cut.

The art deco pieces were from Hunkydory. The paper on the base is from Dovecrafts' Iss & makeup 8 x 8 paper pack I cut out the Doc Martins and mounted on to 3D foam to act as the stopper. The cupcakes were from Kanban (long ago) and all flowers, including the crocheted ones were from stash.


I know this looks strange, but I took it to try and show the foiling:

Happy Birthday gate fold card

Another gate fold card made using the Gemini Daisy Delight dies from Crafter's Companion.  It's not really as easy to put together as it perhaps looks - the result is a simple card with added stickers and a piece of embossed silver matt card inside with the addition of the birthday sentiment piece.

This time I started with an A5 piece of pearlescent gold card which I scored to make the gate fold ... it was more accommodating for the linking pieces of die cuts than the larger card I made and showed yesterday.

Happy Birthday Granddaughter

A commissioned card for a granddaughter who plays the oboe. It was a difficult one to photograph as the background was a lovely acetate with butterflies stuck on to a piece of purple mirror card. I'd run this through my xyron so that it stuck well without showing any adhesive. I created the topper digitally with the help of a couple of cliparts, adding the sentiment, printing out and matting on to purple glittered card. I then randomly added some gems.

The lovely acetate and coordinating card came from Crafter's Companion, all mounted on to a lilac card blank. Purple is my favourite crafting colour so I really enjoyed making this card.

Something a little different

I bought the Gemini Daisy Delight from Crafter's Companion some time ago, but, up until now, I hadn't used it. It's two dies that interlock together on a gate fold card. Papers are My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dilly Dally paper pad and the Happy Birthday die for the inside was from Crafter's Companion. I ran an offcut of card through my xyron so that the die cut was backed with adhesive, making it easy to add. Flowers were from Hobbycraft.

The papers had a bit more of a blue look than the photos show.
