I made this for B’s birthday, we had a very civilised high tea two weeks ago. Recently B ran a steampunk game set on a zeppelin at a gaming convention, and I used that as inspiration for her birthday card (plus I wanted to play around with some new ideas I had). I had the […]
When someone you know passes, and they have family left behind, it is often hard to know what to make for them. In this case it was someone I had known for 12 years although I am more friends with his wife – I have done quite a few musicals with her, and we did […]
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 was for my friend Emma, as part of a package of crafting materials I sent her. I have held of posting it til I know she got the package, but now I can put the card up 🙂 Emma is a card maker and mixed media artist too, so I wanted to play around […]
The other student casual we had working with us for a few months recently graduated, and will shortly be returning home (overseas) to get engaged then married. This is the farewell / congratulations card I did for her from our team. The stamped image is actually on a background I made on watercolour paper. I […]
This was for my friend’s birthday a few weeks ago. I found a gorgeous gift bag with 1920s images on it, and decided to make a card to match. The main colours on the bag (other than black) were pink and turquoise so I focused on using them. The art deco stamp was stamped onto […]
This was for the male half of Bengela, who had his fancy dress birthday party on the weekend. The theme included mad scientists and South America, so I used that as my inspiration to some extent. Images stained with antique linen vintage ink and cut out carefully. Card used for laying has been embossed with […]
This was for one of our student casuals who had been working with us for a few months, and finished up a week ago. Image inked with adirondack dye ink and spritzed with water for watercolour effect. Stamped image swiped with purple ink around then edges, then layered on gold paper, patterned paper and purple […]
This is a card I made for someone at work who went on maternity leave a few weeks ago. Gender of baby was unknown, so I went for something to reflect both possibilities. This was fun, I used some old papers I hadn’t visited in a while. I covered a large tag with a fragment […]
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. […]
