Cats...

I bought a cute little memory box cat die weeks and weeks and weeks ago.....

and hadn't got round to using it yet,

so thought I had better have a play! 

This was a really quick card... a digi-stamp sentiment, digi stamp hearts, cat die, 

tied ribbon, some glossy accents on the hearts, and hand embossed around the edge.

Easy - and I like it! x

Wedding card

 

Thought I would share a card I made recently, for a commission from a friend...

 

I was asked to make a card for her friends...who had been

cycling together around Madagascar!

I really thought that was worth including in the card.

I have had this digi image a while...sorry-I don't know where it's from.

I used a pink petticoat digi paper behind it,

as that was the blue they had used on the invitations they sent out.

I did the sentiment on the pc..  and added some pearls and liquid pearls.

The diecut came from a friend.

The ribbon was from my stash ... think I bought it in Abakhan - yonks ago! :)

Fathers Day

  

I made this recently for my Dad - for fathers day.

I knew what I wanted to do with this (freebie) stamp, as soon as I saw it!

I have stamped the image onto a chalked background:

 I used a cotton wool ball and some dovecraft chalks, which I have had FOREVER! :)

I embossed around the image, onto kraft card, then added a stamped deckchair...

which also came on the freebie stamp set.

I made this card in a very similar way -
this was a commission for a friend, for her children to give to their dad.
My friend has just had a baby, so I had to play about and jiggle to size this pram so that
it would fit perfectly with the freebie stamp I had.
I made the sentiment on the computer, as she specifically wanted
the word "Daddy" on there.
This card is also a lot taller and slimmer than the first card I made (above).

Gorjuss girls...

I made this card recently for a friend to give to her sister...

 

 and she loved it soooooo much, she asked me to make her one,

so she could put it into a frame.

So..... I made her one, and put it into a lovely wood / glass frame,

for her birthday, recently. She LOVED it!

As you will see, I used a gorjuss girls image,

a digi backing paper in her fave colour, pc generated sentiment

(obviously, I left this out, on her framed piece),

I punched the border piece with my boot-sale bargain border punch ( £1 !),

some punched butterflies and glossy accents on the hearts.

 

 I would like to entre this into the following challenges....
