10th Anniversary

 This year is Helen and Ben's 10th Anniversary! It's tin so I sent for a special stamp. I was really pleased with the card and I think it turned out well! 

Santa baby

 Here are 2 risqué cards for Xmas. Naughty but nice!

Managed to make a pattern from a drawing that I saw...there's nothing on the back!

2 more for xmas

 Here are 2 traditional decoupage cards that I'm adding to my stache.

Sarah's card 2025

 Every year I'm asked to make a card for Sarah who works in a laboratory. This is what I made this year.

2 orders for xmas

 When it gets to this time of year the orders for Xmas cards start to come in. Here's some of the first...

Christmas 2025 (class)

 Just wanted a little something that moved and this was it! 

It's very easy to make and will rock to and fro. ( It works better with a "w" shaped strip between the front and back of the card) 

Christmas 2025 ( class)

 Last week I made a telescopic snowman with my group which was finished off pretty quickly so this week I wanted something a bit more time consuming! 

...and it would've taken them longer to make if I hadn't don't all of the die cutting! Think it's pretty though. 

A card for Sammy

 Sammy, a friend of mine is into her steam punk so  I'm hoping this card fits the ticket. All of the pieces are cut and applied separately so it can be a bit fiddly. 

Hope she'll like it!

Cards for 2 ladies

 These cards were ordered for a mother and daughter. The girl is going to vetinery college soon.

Helen is 38

 It was Helen's birthday yesterday and I bought a flower die especially for the occasion. I'd seen an example of the card I wanted to make on the net and made something similar.

I created the background by flicking acrylic paint at the card. It was what I had at hand! The flowers are made using a stitching die which I really love. 

More cards for autumn

 Here are a few more cards made for autumn .. the most colourful time of the year! 

The ones on the he left are tent cards and those on the right are made from papers by dolly doodles.

An Autumn make

 It's getting nearer to Christmas (card wise) but before it descends I wanted to make something with an autumnal feel. This Toadstool fit the bill..

I've made others in the past but they still enjoy doing them. Wonder who lives there?

Gnomey makes

 I really love autumn and with the season in mind I made these 3 cards.

Card update...

 Here are just a few of my latest cards....

Anniversary

 It's Sam and David's 6th Anniversary in August. ( Sugar this time. This stamp seemed appropriate...

Hope they'll like it! 

Alice's birthday card

 Our youngest granddaughter loves anything pretty and sparkly so I make this unicorn card for her 5th birthday. Hope it fits the bill! 

Recent cards.

 Here are a few of the cards I've made recently...the best of the bunch

And a few more...

Sam's 40th

 It's my oldest daughter's birthday soon. I wanted to make a card that reflects her adventurous spirit and this is it! 

The papers came from New Zealand and took an age to arrive but I think it was worth the wait. 

For Elliot and Amelia

 It's birthday time again! 

These cards are for 2 special grandchildren who share a birthday. ( Not twins but born on the same day 5 years apart) One of them is a typical teenager while the other is a "Stitch" fanatic! 

Prick and stitch ( class)

 Here is a sunflower version of the daisy pattern used for the last wave card.

I think I will make up a wave for the inside using  matching colours! 

Pop up wave II

 This is my second attempt at a pop up wave card. This time I chose daisies as my flower because I felt they were more "showy"

I made a prick and stitch design for the front to create a really special card. I'm not sure what I will use it for so I'll be not added any greeting just yet. 

Much more pleased with this one!

Pop up wave card( class)

 I wanted to make something a bit spectacular for this class and found this on the net. ( Tutorial on Mixed up Crafts)

It was a bit of a challenge but not as hard as it looks. Really like the design and determined to make more. 

I kept the front fairly plain as I think it will be displayed open. 

From the net (class 18/6/2025)

 This is not my card but we made something similar for class in 18th June this year. It made a nice "just a note" type of card.

Floating diamonds (class)

 This week we are making a floating diamond card. The size is easy to adapt...each panel is half the width of the depth of the card. 

I think it would make a good mother's day card too. The main thing to remember is that the picture on the left ends up at the front when the card is folded. 

David's birthday

 Here's the card that I made for my son in law's birthday...he's a bit of a cricket fan. 

A few for the May fair

 Here's just a few of the cards that I made for the community fair in May...

Seems to have been a busy month!
