As part of my ongoing clean up and clear out of things around the house, I have been sorting through lots of my crafting materials. I much prefer to regift these to friends than just throw them out, so I did a bit of a call to find out who was interested in various things. […]
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 […]
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 […]
My best friend’s daughter is obsessed with the Eiffel Tower. His family are French Mauritian, many of them are multi lingual (sadly not my friend so much), and one of them gave little G a tshirt with Eiffel Tower on it. It immediately became her favourite thing, and she has a book on it, and […]
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. […]
This was a birthday card for one of the girls at work. I used a cameo embossing folder with my Bigshot machine, and some Co’redinations cardstock which has a different colour core. That allowed me to lightly sand the embossed surface and expose the different colour beneath. The papers and image were from a crafting […]
I made these for B, she asked for them as part of her semi annual order for friends and family. There are two outstanding that I have yet to complete, they will be fantasy themed. these ones are all blank inside except the Green Flower which has ‘Happy Birthday’ stamped there. Assorted cards, stamped images […]
My workmate who commissioned the Ars Longa card then asked me for another one. She had a look at this site (hi Bel!) and asked for a card based on the 50th Birthday Card I did last year. Because I was working on an A5 folded to A6 card, it was half the size of […]
