This is a card I made for my personal trainer. I wasn’t really sure where to go with colour schemes and designs, mostly she wears black. But I decided to try a more feminine design as I love these paper design. Butterfly filligree chipboard layered on gold paper. Gold paper edged in aged mahogany ink, […]
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 […]
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 […]
This is a steampunk style card I made using the Graphic 45 ‘Old Curiosity Shop’ papers. Was for a male friend, and I was really happy with the final result. Cream A5 cardstock folded to A6. 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 […]
I made this card for my manager’s birthday in September. She keeps all the cards I give her -birthday, Christmas and her wedding card too – and has them on display in her office, so I need to make sure I do something different for her each year. I know she likes vintage style, shabby […]
This is for a friend’s 40th birthday. The theme of the birthday party is actually the Roaring 40s, but as it is going to be a very civilised Sunday afternoon lunch I have gone with a vintage French design. I guess it is more Fin de siècle than Roaring 40s, but hopefully she will like it. […]
They obviously breed them tough in Western Australia, my grandmother was 92 when she passed away a few years ago. Although she moved to Sydney as a war bride, she was originally from Perth and met my grandfather when he was billeted with their family during shore leave. And now her sister is celebrating her […]
