SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT FOR ME

Something a little bit different for me - chalked background, stamped and heat embossed dandelion head mat and layered onto gold mirror card then put onto yellow card blank and stamped and heat embossed greeting straight onto card.

really like this card as the possibilities of coloured backgrounds are endless and makes a simple but effective looking card which can be done in so many ways

MORE MICE AND A CAT!

What can I say I am addicted to House Mouse! This was for my friend Jo's birthday - shame I forgot to sign the card! Loved doing this one - liked cutting out the toothbrushes for some reason, not so keen on cutting out the mirror frame!

MICE MICE EVERYWHERE


Card made for a friends birthday who likes chocolate as much as I do!



Card made for best friend's wedding anniversary later on this month, some layers I stuch on flat rather than decoupage them as they were very fiddly and any form of glue/pads would have shown

A Box Card


A card I have made for a family friend's birthday tomorrow - who is really into his ballroom and latin american dancing.


It is part of the Jolly Nation Box Card set, one of the original ones had to cut it out, the newer ones are die cut and on thicker paper/card. Did enjoy making it.

An Easel Card


Here is a card I have made for a good friend's birthday on Wednesday.


Included instructions on the card as I was unsure if non crafters would know how to display it.

MUM'S BIRTHDAY CARD


This is the card I made for Mum's birthday earlier this month.
She used to have a vespa before she was married and Dad sold it, although it was not the right colour thought it was an ideal card.
Used a Kanban topper sheet, backing paper and sentiment onto a blank white card.
Would be good on the daring card maker challenge as it is layered and also on the creative inspirations challenge of anything goes

WELCOME TO MY BLOG
