Thank You....

A colleague asked me to make a seaside themed thank you card, and this is what I have come up with. The lighthouse and seagulls are cut from "Life is a Beach", and the sentiment is from "Beyond Birthdays".

Get well soon

A friend at work has just had cardiac surgery, and I just had a few minutes to make a get well soon card. I used my new Winter Frolic cartridge, and cut the sentiment from Beyond Birthdays. I used one of the lovely Peachy Keen stamps for the face.

Happy 70th

A friend asked me to make a card for her dad who will be 70. I asked what he liked, and she said "ducks"! After a lot of thought I came up with this. The duck is from Animal Kingdom. the balloon is from Pooh and Friends, and the sentiment is from Beyond Birthdays.

Card for a rugby fan

I was asked to make this card for a fan of our local rugby team. I usesd Everyday paper Dolls, and "doctored" the shirt to make it look like their kit! The greeting is from beyond Birthdays, and the numbers from Plantin Schoolbook.

Well Done Ruth......

Another card for Ruth...this time because she won a competition to name a local off-license...on her birthday!!

The sentiment is from Beyond Birthdays.

Two little ducks....

I made this for someone who is going to be 22. It was made at speed, so not very fancy, but I couldn't resist the bingo pun! The greeting is from "Beyond Birthdays", and the ducks are from "New Arrival".

Season's Greetings

I just love the way this sentiment cuts out. It is from Beyond Birthdays. I embossed the background with the cuttlebug snowflake folder. Very simple!

Something a bit different!!!

I was asked to make this for a local funeral director. The person who asked me to make it was insistent that she wanted a coffin and an undertaker on it (and not being one to argue.....!)

The undertaker and the coffin are from Paper Doll Dress Up , the numbers from Plantin Schoolbook, and the greeting is from Beyond Birthdays.

Peace

Such a simple card!! The dove is cut from Beyond Birthdays, and Peace is from Wild Card. I used a "glitterations"gold square behind the dove.

Happy birthday Mum

This is especially for my Mum as she loves flowers. "Mum" is cut from Beyond Birthdays, and the rest is from Walk in My Garden.

And this is the inside, flower cut from Walk in My Garden, and "mat" from A Child's Year.

Get Well Soon

This is for someone who is due to have an operation later this week. The dog is from Paper Pups, and usualy has a thermometer in it's mouth. I cut that off for this card, as she isn't "that kind iof sick" (if you know what I mean?!). The sentiment is from Beyond Birthdays, and it is all raised up on foam pads to give some dimension.

I think I might write something inside about being back in the pink soon !!!

With Bunches of love....

The stamp is a new one from Hobby Art, and I thought it went well with the floral paper, which seemed like it should be part of a patchwork...so...I added some fake stitches to add to the effect. I am pleased with the flowers, which I cut at a variety of sizes and layered up. They are from Accent Essentials. Although you can barely see it, they are stuck around a leafy branch, which is from Beyond Birthdays.

90th Birthday

A friend of mine asked me to make this for a man who will soon be 90. I really don't know if it is easiest to make cards for people you don't know, or people that you do!!!

Anyway I came up with this, and I hope it will be ok!

The sentiment is from Beyond Birthdays, the numbers are from Plantin Schoolbook, and I cut the bottle from one of the Wildcards.
