Especially for my son ...


... not my son, but commissioned to make this card a while ago - I was asked to include something to indicate his love of music, particularly guitar, his love of gardening, hence the wheelbarrow and the fact that he supports Chelsea football club, hence the little strip. The background sentiment paper was from Kanban, matted on to grey and white dotted card by Hunkydory. The sentiment banner was also from Kanban.

Sending special wishes


Another CAS card, using Kanban supplies, this time with the middle raised up a bit more than the previous card, with the jewels added. I took the slanted picture to try to show the rose gold foiling.

I made this to give to a friend a couple of weeks ago, using papers from the DCWV Mariposa stack, the lovely flower and butterfly borders from Papermania - taking pieces of the left overs and sticking individually, with the Friend sentiment from Kanban and the Dovecraft Birthday sentiment.

My thoughts are with you

The Cavendish ladies


This was a commissioned card some time ago for a 90 year old sister-in-law. It's an 8 x 8 card with an unknown piece of background paper. I used two of the Cavendish ladies set of stamps by Kanban, inked with memento tuxedo black and coloured with Spectrum noir pens, adding glitter to the cuffs of the lady on the left. I added lots of flowers and the sentiment ovals.

For a special sister


This was a card commissioned some time ago for a special lady for her 60th birthday. I was asked to incorporate things and places that were special to Linda and to include the lovely picture of her in the middle. As she loves churches and stained glass windows, it was agreed to make an easel card with the church window incorporating all the things she loves. I used some strips of gems, washi tape and a flower as the stopper on the easel and printed the greeting which was matted on to mirror card, the colour being Linda's favourite. A piece of Anna Griffin paper was used on the base. Butterflies and flowers were added.

 It wasn't easy getting pictures and making them fit the spaces (did this digitally), but it was well worth the effort.


How I put it together, with the stained class effect behind the church window, then I cut round the edges:

UR 18


This was a commissioned card for a great grandson's 18th birthday some time ago. I love this big old Sizzix die of a motor car (I've used it a fair bit over the years) - I die cut a piece of blue mirror card, die cut again to get the silver headlamps and again to get acetate to put behind the windscreen area. Papers are Hunkydory, including the pieces die cut with the Spellbinders labels dies, first printing on to the zig zag piece and heat embossing with detail silver.The corner circles were cut as per the headlamps.

I inked the lovely Penny Black toot the flute stamp with versafine black and heat embossed with clear detail powder, colouring in with spectrum noir pens and mounting on to silver card, adding the numerals and the dymo letratag sentiment.
