Club cards


Please excuse poor photos, no natural light at card club.



These were the cards I made to give my ladies. I basically copied them from a Spellbinders design, changed slightly. 



My postage stamp panel die is by Sue Wilson, the circle sentiment toppers are very old by Craftwork Cards, I am pleased I've finally got round to using them up!

No two cards were identical, I used white on some, cream on others etc.



 

Gift Boxes


Simple gift boxes we made at club recently, using a single sheet of A4 and scraps.

They hold a couple of biscuits plus a teabag (Amazon)

Fancy Fold Christmas




Christmas cards we made at club recently. I'm not sure what this style of card is called but there's loads on Pinterest/ YouTube.

The top photograph is my mum's card and the lower one is mine, we've used the same papers but different dies. Mine is by Tonic and I think my mum's was a magazine freebie.

Embossing folder by Lisa Horton, finished card is 6 x 6 inches.



 

Rose Gold Christmas


This card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest, unfortunately I can't figure out who the original creator is in order to credit them properly.

I've used pale grey card (colour not showing accurately here due to my poor photography) and splattered it with white gesso.

The poinsettia dies are by Sue Wilson and are a mix of pale grey, white shimmer, and rose gold cardstocks. I've also used rose gold glitter card, with foliage dies by Crafter's Companion, in real life it's a beautiful colour.

The sentiment stamp is by Chloe, stamped and heat embossed with copper embossing powder on a pale peach shimmer card. Finished card is 7 x 7 inches.

A card for Joan, who loves poppies.

G45


This was a card club project and I'd forgotten to take a photograph hence why it looks slightly battered here.

The front right part is a pop-up mechanism when opened.



We used a background stamp by JustRite, with Versamark ink and clear embossing powder, but dry brushed some of the powder off to give a distressed effect.

Patterned papers are by Graphic 45 and the card is identical to one I made earlier but using a different collection of papers.

Woodware Bubble




This was a card my mum made using a Woodware stamp and some Candi dots

I made a slightly different version using the same stamp plus a sentiment by Hobby Arts. Diamante ribbon slider from Amazon. My card was inspired by one I'd seen in a craft shop a year or so ago.

Toucan


This card was heavily inspired by the ideas sheet enclosed with the toucan die (Creative Expressions)

Instead of the background they had shown though I made my own using a green spray ink on plain white card. I then used a leaf stencil (brand unknown, think it was a magazine freebie) with Colour Cloud ink on top of that.

The flower dies are SU and all other dies are Creative Expressions.
