Wedding Day

A friend asked me to make this card for a wedding she was going to, and I only had 1 day to come up with something, so it is a variation of a card I have made before. Anyway she loved it, hope the 2 grooms did too.

Tatty Twinkles meets Tattered Lace

Well what a lovely week we've had so far, let's hope the weather stays like this for a while. After 3 days of looking after the grandchildren, I now have a few days to craft, here is a card I  made at the weekend, it's ages since I stamped and coloured, and I really enjoyed it, must get back into it.

I have used an 8" x 8" card blank, pink card  cut to 7.5" x 7.5"  and 7" x 7" white pearlescent 

card with a 4" x 4" aperture cut in the middle. The image is coloured with prismacolour pencils, blended with a paper stump and sansador. Die cuts are tattered lace chantilly flourish and clematis, and I have added rolled flowers, pearls and a ribbon bow

Granddaughter's Birthday

Well I can't believe that our oldest grandchild will be 11 tomorrow,  where do the years go. Anyway she is a big fan of 1D, and as I made her a1D card last year, thought i'd make her something different this time, so here it is, a pop up box, hope she likes it.

                                                                   

 

 Don't know if I will find any challenges to enter it in, but I will have a look later

POP UP BOX CARD

I've been to a couple of workshops and made these pop up boxes, but they were all  pre-scored and cut and I just added the contents. Anyway I thought i'd experiment, and made an oblong box, using 2 pieces of A4 card. I have  made this one for my daughters birthday, she has her own cake and cup cake business, hence the cupcakes on the box

Something Different

Here is something that I made the other day, using papers from the MCS cd  Shabby Sweet

                                                          

If you watched the shows on Creat and Craft you may have already seen this, as it was one of the samples I sent in, and was shown a couple of times. I like it so much I am just making another similar one to hang on my wall, to remind me to Believe in Myself".
