Happy Anniversary

A colleague at work asked me to make an anniversary card for her husband. She was very specific that she wanted the two of them on it with their two black dogs and their pet duck! I cut the people from "Paper Dolls", the dogs from "Animal Kingdom" and I think the duck was from "A child's year".

Cascading card....

A colleague asked me to make a card for her niece who will soon be 13. I couldn't resist trying a cascading  card. I cut her name and the sentiment from "A Child'sYear", and the shoes and umbrellas from "Paisley".

50 sucks!!!

I have long admired the lovely lollipop bouquets that I have seen on the Cricut messageboard, and finally I have had the opportunity to make one. A friend of my husband's has just been 50, and we are going to his party on Friday.

I bought a large pot from the garden centre and filled it with oasis. I covered this with foil, and then used a skewer to make 50 holes, into which I pushed the assortment of lollies. I cut the "50" and "sucks" from Mickey Font, and then decorated the band with a greeting from A Child's Year, and lots more lollies cut from Doodlecharms.

Now I just need someone else to have a significant birthday so I can make another!!!

Get Well Soon

This is for a friend who is about to have a hip replacement. The letters are from A Childs Year, and I welded them to the ric-rac (from Plantin Schoolbbok) in Design Studio. The flowers are also from Plantin Schoolbook.

Happy Birthday Ryan

This was my first side-stair-step card. The child is from A Child's Year, and so is the lettering.

Fathers Day

I love these easel cards, and I thought the cut from A Child's Year made a great image for Fathers Day!

Happy Bathday

This is for a friend at work who also works as a dog groomer! The dog and brush etc are cut from Paper Pups, and the lettering is from A Child's Year, welded together in Design Studio.

Cheer up dad!!!

This is for my dad from the dog!!! Inside it's going to say; "if you were a dog you'd be 560!!"

The letters are from A child's year, the dog is from Paper Pups, and the balloon is from Stretch your imagination!!

Box for 3D card

I made a box for my 3D card, complete with an acetate window so that you can see the card inside. I added another flower cut from Plantin Schoolbook, and added sentiment and frame cut from A Child's Year.

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.

A Birthday gift

I was completely inspired by Donna Mundinger's version of this shaped card, which is cut from Pooh and Friends. I added a circular tag cut from A Child's Year, onto which I stamped the sentiment.

Down on the farm....

More lovely stamps by Ollyfant. I coloured them with watercolour pencils, and then mounted them on tags cut from A Child's Year. I inked around the edge of the tags to add a bit of definition.

Peace...

I love this church from the Christmas Solutions cartridge. The trees are also from there. I cut the frame for the sentiment from A Child's Year. The stamp is a new one from a set by "Inkadinkado". I embossed the snow and the sky on the cuttlebug, and added some stickles. The whole thing is layered up on foam pads for dimension.

Shaped snowman

I just love this snowman from "A Child's Year". I welded his shadow in Design Studio, and then cut a non-shadow version from some lovely DCWV patterned paper. The sentiment is a lovely "Inkadinkado" stamp (I love those too!), and I added a few silver snowflakes...I think I might make some more!!!!!

Snowman from "A Child's Year"

I love this snowman so much!!I embossed him using the swiss dots folder, and cut his shadow in holographic card. The extra snowflakes are cut from Christmas Solutions. I used a small punch to cut out lots of snowflakes around the edges of the patterned paper.

DIY card

This is for the son of my mum's friend. Apparently he is a keen woodworker, so I decided to make a tool cupboard. I used the square from Zooballoo (resized in Design Studio) to make the cupboard, and the hinges are cut from Fabulous Finds.

Hre is the inside of the cupboard. The words / numbers are cut from A Child's Year, and the tools are from a download called the "Nitwit" collection.

A multi-purpose card!!

This is for some friends who set off next week to go travelling until January. It covers all the eveents until we see them next. I enjoyed making it, and hopefully they'll think it's fun!!!

The plane is from New Arrival, the witch is from A Child's Year, and the Santa hat is from Joys of the Season. I used my cuttlebug to do some embossing too!!

Where's that cat????

This was a result of much head-shaking and tutting, as I really don't make cat cards!! I'm really not keen on any of the ones on Doodlecharms or Animal Kingdom, so settled for this one from A Child's Year. It seemed to be made to stroll amongst the flowers...which were all cut from Walk in my Garden.

A Fairy Happy Birthday

Another card from A Child's Year...the font is from that cartridge too, and I welded it and then stretched it a little in Design Studio.

A gift for Spot....

I just love this dog!! He is cut from Animal Kingdom, welded first in Design Studio to make a shaped card. I added the bone from A Child's Year and couldn't resist tying the ribbon around it!!
