These are the cards I made for the girls at work. They wanted traditional, and I decided to go with square cards this year. The method was the same for all the cards. I had some lovely vintage style papers that were too nice to use as layering papers. They were larger than the cardstock […]
So chatting with a male colleague on Monday afternoon, I found out he is getting married *this* Friday. As I drove home I mentally cast my mind over colour schemes and images that I had handy, and then spent about half an hour assembling materials before I started. This was an interesting challenge – I […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
