50th Birthday card

A 50th birthday card for my neighbour of 20+ years. I really hope she has a great birthday as if anyone deserves a day to herself it's her.

My card in a magazine

OMG I'm so excited one of my cards, my mums birthday card, was published in the latest issue (November) of Papercraft Inspirations, in the best of the postbag section (page 22). It's not much, but to me it's huge.

Some more cards :)

A quick card I made for my nephews 8th birthday

I was asked to make a card for a male who is going through a rough time, the brief was he likes music, poetry and art. He was over the moon with the card and said it was him to a t.

This was for the birth of a baby boy, I decided to go with a more stylish contemporary look rather than the traditional on this one.

And a few more :)

New Cards

Not had much time to update here or even make many cards lately but here's the ones I have made.

Birthday card for mum

Here's the birthday card I've made for my mum's birthday next month, she has a little Westie called Charlie.

I started with a A5 card blank and covered with purple flowered paper from papermania rich purple, leaving a 0.5cm gap. I printed the westie digi stamp from Bird Cards and the birthday sentiment from the same site. I changed the colour of the sentiment and added the word mum. I cut them out using spellbinder nestabilities and backed with light purple. I added a striped panel and ribbon then attached the toppers.

The large flower is made from tissue paper and mulberry paper, I cut 3 different size circles using spellbinder nestabilities, the used a corner rounder to make the petals, layered them up and added 2 buttons to make the centre, to finish it off I added silver glitter glue to the edges of the largest petals. The small flower is some I had in my stash, finished with a small button.

I wish to enter this card in to the following challenges:

I also make things from face cloths,

Here's a cupcake I made recently for a friends birthday.

I then made it into a gift basket.
