First Snowman (class 15)

 Christmas is never far away nowadays so we've got to make a start on the cards. This pieced design is taken from something similar in fabric. 



I put a W shape in card, between the back and front at the bottom, to help it to stand properly ( sign on the back) 

I loved the design so much that I altered it slightly to create a scarecrow.


I think with a little more alteration I could create a female version too just for fun!

Bubbles ( class 14)

 This week I wanted to look at making bubbles!  It's such an easy thing and I'm surprised more people don't use it in their card making.

autumn creatures


Autumn is my favourite time of year! It's just such a pretty season. Its always a pleasure making cards in golden colours.  These are a couple I've just finished. The decoupage design is one of Joanna Sheens which are quite hard to get hold of nowadays. 



True, these will both need a box making for them but it'll be worth it! 

Fruits of autumn

 I wasn't sure what design I would use for this stamp because it's so long! There was a spotty background that I didn't like so I cut the image out. 


I added the bees from another stamp set after the card was made. It was so simple and I'll definitely use this card style again at Christmas!

Chat gpt

 Using this programm on the internet ( and with Emily's help)  I've been able to create really personalised cards





The top 2 are for special birthdays, then there was one for a friend and several orders. Cool eh?

Shark ( class 13)


 Whilst we were on holiday at the end of May this year, Helen drew a shark. I knew it would be just right on a card so I  made a pieced version. I used a woodware stamps for the sea bed. Not bad eh?
