Our school cleaner broke her foot before Christmas so I made her this card. The image is an Elyzebelles stamp which I was given by a lovely cardmaking friend - Pauline many thanks. This lovely stamp shop has now closed down :( I used Nellie Snellen flower punches for the embellishments.
Another card I forgot to make on time so I used a textured rub on, for quickness, for the main image from QVC and my little QVC punches for the flowers. If you like these punches I've seen them sold by Docrafts individually instead of in a set from QVC.
This is a birthday card for a work colleague - I got this set of Kanban stamps from QVC - I think she is so elegant. I coloured her with Promarkers and matted her onto gold mirri card on which I stamped the oval. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I found some peeloffs for the corners which matched the Art Deco feel.
This card was for another of my husband's work colleagues who had a baby girl (10lbs 3ozs!! - my daughter was 10lbs 2 ozs and I thought that was big!!) - there are babies everywhere - that's one of each in his department. This one uses a stamp called 'In a Nutshell' by Tina Wenke and the sweet baby Sissix embossing folder.
I used a Pink Petticoat Lola image for this card and paper pieced her dress. The sentiment is printed with a Xyron Design Runner - which I love but am not too good at getting straight! This is one of 3 which I have had to make for school - this year there will be 4 new babies in our staffroom so there'll be plenty more cards to make soon!
This is the card I made for my brother. We grew up near this village and I was so pleased to find this stamp made by Art-Kure. I used Distress inks to colour the image and added glitter to highlight.
This one is a 6 x6 square, the ones below are little 4inch cards.
These are the cards I made for my crafting friends using my Cricut 'Winter Lace' cartridge.
I loved playing with these stamps and my distress inks.
