A similar card to some others I've shown, with the decoupaged topper of the bird with flowers, with an offcut piece of the flowery card matted on to a striped background A4 card folded to make an A5 card blank .... all from the C & C birthday kit.
Another card made yesterday using C & C birthday kit supplies plus a Dovecraft sentiment panel, once again using an A4 card folded to make a tent style opening A5.
Two cards for male birthdays using more supplies from the C & C birthday kit. The second picture shows the back of the right hand card, with the blank made from a piece of A4. The one on the left is a side opening landscape A5.
A card made yesterday using an A4 card folded to make an A5 card blank - supplies from C & C kit, just like the ones shown recently in blue. The flowers in the teacup have been decoupaged - 5 additional layers.
Another card made with an A4 C & C kit card folded to make an A5, with another of the toppers and flowers and sentiment from stash.
A new home card started yesterday and finished today with the brick background of a C & C piece of card folded to make an A5 card blank with the addition of the three floral panels with the 'just for you' on the top left hand corner. The spotted paper is a piece from a Hot off the press collection from long ago. I then added the chipboard key, flowers and the Home Sweet Home sentiment.
This is my design card for my CHNC challenge 526 - please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of 'no sentiment'.
The background paper is from Dovecraft's Magical Christmas pad and the lovely Christmas tree was rescued and upcycled from a card received, with the addition of the glittered snowflakes from Italian Options.
A similar card to those shown yesterday - this time featuring the layered bird topper with the silver foiled sentiments with the addition of an embroidered flower - some years ago I bought a metre of these (just snip one) and I put one on the back of the card as well. Everything else was from the C & C birthday kit.
Another card made yesterday using some of the C & C birthday kit, this time using another A4 card folded to make the A5 card blank, adding the 3 pieces of the picture and the sentiment of Best Wishes. On the left hand corner of the first piece of the topper it says 'just for you'. The foiling around the pieces of the topper and Best Wishes is silver (hard to see in the photos)
An A5 card made yesterday using elements from a Create and Craft Birthday kit, with the centre decoupaged. The card blank was made from a piece of A4 card so that the back is also decorated.
Two cards made just before Christmas - commissioned for a grandson's birthday and his partner's. They had recently welcome two kittens and I was asked to include them - I used the same digital, reversing one.
On this card I added a couple of strips of offcuts and the letters for the name, adding the gold foiled birthday sentiment from Dovecraft and a couple of hearts - lovely and furry to touch.
These are for:
Yesterday I was asked to make a card for a great grandson who is going to be 3 ... it was needed quickly, so I go out my Pooh Bear stuff and this is the result. Paper from a pad from Poundland and glittered circles from there too ... ages ago. Sentiments and the number from stash.
A card I made yesterday using some offcuts of Anna Griffin card for the background and a couple of Hunkydory pieces, wrapped round and round with something that resembles ribbon (can't remember what you call it - had it for ages), with the addition of the Hunkydory topper, a couple of flowers and sentiment from stash.
A card made cutting down a piece of Hunkydory patterned card to make a square card blank, adding other pieces from Hunkydory. There is a lovely sheen to the card and toppers.
A cream card made yesterday randomly stamping a Dawn Bibby flower stamp by Personal Impressions inked with memento love letter with the 'thank you' band upcycled from an old card topped with the scalloped cream oval stamped with another Dawn Bibby stamp from the same set using the same ink and swiping the edges with it.

A commissioned A5 birthday card for a daughter who loves handbags and shoes. The background piece of Anna Griffin card was stamped randomly using a Docrafts stamp inked with memento tuxedo black. The background card blank was made using a piece of A4 Hunkydory. The sentiment was generated on computer and printed, using an offcut of Hunkydory card, matted on to gold mirror card. The topper was from a Kanban kit and the flowers are textured rub ons.
This is my design card for my CHNC challenge 525 - please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of 'use a sentiment'.
I made this card with a spotted background paper, a Kanban topper, some striped washi tape, the repeating sentiment sticker and a couple of poinsettias.
This was a commissioned card made recently for a one year old boy using Pooh Bear papers from Poundland, a decoupaged topper of the bear himsself and stickers of some of his friends and the Happy Birthday from Dovecraft.
Two similar shaped cards for two different occasions, using using a single rose stamp inked with memento tuxedo black randomly stamped for the backgrounds. The label die cuts were stamped with part the rose background by Hampton art inked with memento love letter red and heat embossed with clear detail powder. These were then mounted on to a larger die cut label with sentiments added.
A commissioned card for a rugby fan using a landscape opening A5 card. The background was a freebie from the internet. The rugby prayer is decoupaged (from a kit from long ago), with the addition of the ball and the die cut sentiment printing from computer and cutting with a Spellbinder die, edged with green distress ink.
