This is the gift bags I decorated (they were plain white bags) and the matching gift tags for the girls at work The bag has a vintage christmas image layered onto patterned paper, then onto gold paper, then onto the bag. The gift tags used offcuts of decorative paper, and I hand lettered each person’s […]
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, […]
I have been really busy with work, but also doing a lot of cards. I will put them up over the next few days. This first one was for my manager’s baby shower, Forget-Me-Not Flower Fairy. It is one of a set of Flower Fairy images I have, but the first time I have used […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
As I mentioned last year, I had some lovely artwork made by the daughters of a friend, which I now have on display on my wall at home. Recently one of these little girls has been very sick (the 2 year old), and so I decided to make her a card. And to avoid jealousy […]

Wooden shoe painted with poppy red twinkling H20s, heel covered with Black Soot Stickles. Images and quites edged in red dye ink, then attached to canvas with gel […]
