This was for my friend B’s birthday, which was celebrated last night in a Doctor Who themed party. Cream cardstock folded to a square. Piece of Bo Bunny ‘Timepiece’ Paper on the left, and Coor’dinations Chocolate Box cardstock embossed with Tim Holtz Steampunk Texture Fades embossing folder, sanded back to reveal the core colour, both […]
I have a few posts to catch up on all the cards I have been doing. I will hold off on posting my steampunk Christmas design for now, but I am pretty happy with it so far. I need to make a few adjustments and I think add a contrasting coloured ink, but other than […]
The lovely receptionist at work recently went on maternity leave, and our team gave her a farewell morning tea. This is the card I made for her. A4 Pink cardstock folded to A5 size, front edge punched with lace punch border. Kaisercraft pattened paper (Bonjour Paris collection), right edge trimmed off, then layered on gold […]
This was for our new teammate who had her birthday last week. A quick office poll showed that her favourite colour is coral so I did my best to work with that palette. And she has also just come back from a trip to Europe (for a wedding) so I wanted to tie in with […]

Background stamped with honeycomb pattern and also crackle stamp in Aged Mahogany Distress Ink. Two images cut out from […]
And now for something different … My manager had her birthday on the same day as the super major event I was project managing (was on 14 September, we had an estimated 12,000 – 13,000 in attendance. I am ready to collapse in a broom cupboard now). Anyway, I had been saving up some special […]
I have been meaning to put this up for ages, it is from my friend YY’s birthday. It is also the inspiration for the card that I made for my friend Emma’s daughter, although in that case I made it more suitable for a child. However this is the one I made first, and YY […]
Made this for a friend who likes the Wizard of Oz (and doggies!). I got to use my Graphic 45 stamps and papers that I bought for my birthday last year (my present to myself, yay!), that have been sitting there temptingly for some time. But I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with […]
We have a contractor at work who is getting married on Saturday, registry office as her ‘real’ wedding will be in Europe next year wit her family. We are going to have a morning tea for her on Friday, and I made this card for the team to sign. I was playing with sepia, blue […]
There was a competition that I entered this week, to create an artwork inspired by the Great Gatsby. No images or stills from the new movie could be used. I decided to do a mixed media collage on a canvas. I had a lot of 1920s and vintage images that were suitable, and I printed […]
