Love

Stamps are by Papermania.

I stamped and heat embossed on to plain white card, using white embossing powder.
I then sponged Colour Cloud ink over the top for a resist effect.

Envelope Card

I've seen a few of these style cards recently and wanted to have a go. I watched two different tutorials, one uses an envelope punch board, but this one doesn't.

It's also an 'open' style at the bottom which means that, if you didn't use 3-D flowers, then the card would fold down reasonably flat. Not flat enough for a normal postage stamp but you could fit it in a standard envelope instead of having to make a box.

The patterned paper is from my scrap box, flowers are cheapies from The Range.
I used a paper straw also from The Range to support the stamped sentiment, the stamp is by JustRite.

Happy Birthday

Card is 7 x 7 inches

I've used patterned paper from my scrap bag. I stamped over it with a 'bubble wrap' stamp (Kaisercraft) using glue instead of ink, then added gilding flakes. I've used the same technique round the edges of the patterned paper too.

I've torn a strip of vellum to lay across the middle of the patterned paper, before adding the die cut sentiment (Sue Wilson dies).

Other dies are a butterfly by Memory Box, and the thin bow across the bottom is by Tattered Lace.

Mini Album

I made this mini album for my crafty friend Maria, for her birthday last month.

I've used various stamps and dies but tried to keep to a friendship theme.
