Fathers day cards

Here are the cards I made for Fathers day this year ... not as many as last year because with working almost full time hours I haven't got enought time for any orders so I only made my own ..... maybe I'd better bear that in mind in the run up to Christmas (OMG!! I cannot believe I said the 'c' word in June!!!)

Images are Pink Petticoat and cut out with the nesties (how original am I?)

Birthday card for Callams school friend

Last week Callam went to a girls birthday party and along with some jewellery I had made, he also took this card.

The sparklies are swarovski diamantes and the font is 'font diner sparkly'

The image is from a Pink Petticoat download that I bought last year (and have only used twice previously) - diamond sparkles (psx) were added, along with glossy accents then the image was cut with the scalloped nestability die and 2 nestie frames were added.

The finished card is below.

Dianes birthday card

Here is the card I made for my Sisters birthday which is on Wednesday. The image is a Pink Petticoat image which was digitally coloured (using 'paint') and sparkly and glossy bits were added.

Below is the inside of the card (and after taking thses photos I turned the brads so they were all facing the same way)

Here is the cute handbag charm from carolyns although I have had it tucked away for a couple of years waiting for something to use it on

And finally (below) this is the box with the bracelet inside - I used the same ribbon and felt flowers as I used on the card.

Leannes leaving card

Well Leannes leaving card is finished and I am really pleased with it. I used some more of the lace I got in the 'group purchase' on
CBC

The silver oval was cut with the nestabilities in the cuttlebug and the holes around the edge were done with my crop a dile.

On the backing paper (making memories boho chic) I have used glossy accents to do the shiny dots.

matching cards for my Nephews 1st Birthdays

My nephews were born within weeks of each other so I made matching cards with only a couple of differences - my mojo has taken a short (well I hope its short) holiday it seems and I'm really struggling with cards and stuff at the moment.

Easter cards

I only had to make 2 easter cards this year and luckily I got a free Pink Petticoat download which was perfect. I added sparkly bits and glossy accents were used too. I cut out with nesties (once again)

30th Birthday card

This week saw the 30th Birthday of my Sister in Law and this is the card I made for her. Image is Pink Petticoat. I have used sparkles (diamond) and glossy accents on it. The numbers are sizzix pigeon toed charms and I have used scalloped oval nestabilities, then embossed with a cuttlebug folder. I rubbed a pink and then a gold coloured ink pad around the edges.

Anniversary card

Earlier this week it was my Grandparents Wedding Anniversary and once again I left the card until the very last minute (I was feeling very uninspired...perhaps I need to tidy my messy craft room instead of spending time on facebook)

Anyway my Grandparents love birds so out came the stitchels stamps. I stamped 2 birds and a heart then watercoloured them. The birds have got swarovski crystals for their eyes.

I used some more of the gorgeous lace and some flowers that I punched out.

Overall I am pleased with the way the card has turned out (but not sure about the ribbon on the tag...too late now though)

Mother in Laws birthday

Well on Monday it will be my Mother in Laws birthday, so here is the card I have made for her:

First the inside - to hide the join of the narrow satin ribbon (that wasn't a long enough piece to tie together) I made a tag that I was going to put on the front (but looked out of place) and stuck it down so the join can't be seen (pity I han't thought to do the same with the velvety ribbon)

On the front I used a Pink Petticoat image that I coloured using the paint programme on the pc. Sparkly and glossy bits were added after cutting with scalloped oval nestabilities.

This is a long post today

Well Sunday (just gone) was Mothering Sunday and I had quite a few cards to make - 5 of them are what I sent out cos I do my Gran (who brought me up), my Mother in Law, my Dads Girlfriend (who he has been with for almost 20 years), my Mum and my Nan....quite a list.

The first is the one I made for my Mother in Law using some more of the beautiful lace.

Next are the cards I made for my Grandma and my Nan. I embossed using the cuttlebug, the gold card oval with scalloped edges is a nestie and the bird is a stitchels stamp that I watercolour painted.

The next 2 are the ones I made for my Mum and my Dads Girlfriend. The purple cards are embossed using the cuttlebug and the images are Pink Petticoat.

Next is one I made for a friends Mum. I did the card as a favour because he mended a chip in one of the alloy wheels on the mini and would not take payment, so one good turn deserves another. I used the stitchels again

I took the photograph of the card and then later took another look and decided something was missing so the bird got a lovely swarovski crystal for an eye (only I didnt have chance to take a photo of the change)

The next 2 cards were for an order...the only specification was that they had to have tabby cats on them, so the images are clip art, the diamantes are swarovski and the flowers are stitchels...there is also some of the beautiful lace once again.

The next ones are for some friends of mine.

Image is Pink Petticoat, crystals are swarovski

More Pink Petticoat images

And me....well I had a lovely card from Callam that he drew himself.
