One Sheet Wonder

Two more cards made with the same one-sheet wonder from the previous post.
I ended up making two 6" x 6" and two 5 x 7" from the same sheet, I still had more left over but was bored of it at this point!

The above card, it's not easy to tell from the photo, but the green on each side of the panel is actually vellum so it's softer than it appears here.

Sentiment here is a Waltzingmouse stamp

Last of the Christmas 2014 cards

This was one I made with someone particular in mind, I knew it would be just their style.
The reindeer head was a wooden blank and I used several layers of pewter embossing powder before finally dabbing over with a charcoal ink-pad.

The background was white shimmer-card that I stamped with a large sentiment stamp from Chloe's Creative Cards and heat embossed white. Label dies are Spellbinders.

This next card is more or less identical to one I made for my parents, blogged last month, I just altered the colour scheme a bit (and the wording, obviously).

With Love

Patterned paper is Prima, the piece with the butterfly on I've overstamped with a Waltzingmouse stamp.

Husband

This was the card I made for my husband's birthday last week.
He loves single malt whisky and whilst buying him a bottle in a specialist shop I noticed some advertising leaflets/ brochures.
The covers of the leaflets were kraft cardstock so I picked up a couple thinking that they might be nice turned into cards!
As it turned out I didn't use the kraft but did decide to use one of the printed images - a bottle of whisky.

The acetate is by Kanban, bit hard to see but it is printed with a subtle pattern. I cut the whisky image down and mounted it on Kanban card (the card has an identical pattern to the acetate). To get the curve I chopped an inch or so off the card and attached the acetate at the top and bottom. Because of the size difference the acetate then curves around the card. Looking back I should perhaps have scored it first as it would be less stress on the card but it was the first time I'd tried the technique.

The card-blank is 8 inch square and is Papermania.
The die-cut letters are Sizzix Script.

Mum

Cardstock and polka dot ribbon are SU.
Alpha is Script by Sizzix.
The flower stamp is by Hero Arts and comes with a coordinating Sizzix embossing folder, it's called Silhouette Vines. I love the effect of the embossing, really makes the stamping 'pop'. I added a couple of coloured pearls to the image too.

New Home

I bought some very cheap WRMK paper recently in TKMaxx so am trying to use it all up before I get bored of it
Alphabet is Sizzix Script.

Flower

Papers are Papermania, flower made with SU scallop punch and SU Boho Blossoms punch.

Alphabet is Sizzix Script.

Some Glamour Dust to highlight.

Matching notebook.

Paper by Papermania, seam binding from the Ribbon Girl.

'Remember' is a Making Memories rub-on.

Notebook is a cheap one (sorry Maria!) from Tesco and have just covered the front.

Ladies at my craft club have been making lots of these notebooks and have now started attaching loops of card to the inner back cover and slipping a pencil through the loop.

Season's Greetings

Okay last of the Dreamweaver cards now I promise.

You can't tell from the photo but this card is A3 size so quite big.
I had the cardblank from last year (Kanban) and just decided to go mad and use full A4 sheets of glitter card. I gutted some of the glitter card to make it go further though because I'm tight like that :)

The ribbon doesn't quite look right but the colour goes so nice and it's double sided so I am undecided whether to swap it for something wider or stick with it. I wasn't sure about the colour scheme at first as is not typical Christmas but I'm hoping it will stand out amongst the red and green etc.
The image is Dreamweaver stencil + embossing paste + Glamour Dust, the alphabet is Sizzix 'Script'.

Mum

This was for my mum's recent birthday.
She is a retired nurse and also trained as a midwife so when I saw this Kanban image I thought it would suit.
Alphabet is Sizzix 'Script' and the pink-ish card is Core'dinations Whitewash.

Congratulations

This was for a commission - I was asked to make a card for a lady who was graduating as a GP.
Luckily I have a clear stamp set by Woodware that features a stethoscope, it's actually a 'get well soon' set but the customer just wanted something medical and this saved me having to buy anything new!
