Art Deco

 My glamorous friend Pat loves these Art Deco ladies so I save any I am given and recycle them if I'm making her a card.

Embossing folder is Sue Wilson, stamp is Clearly Besotted. Card is 8 x 8".

Snowdrops

I saw a card on display very similar to this, last year at Crafter's Companion store in Chesterfield.
The staff were happy for me to photograph and use it as inspiration.

Tag die and stamps are Crafter's Companion.
Card stock is 'hemp' from Papermill Direct.

Couple of quick and easy cards that I've made recently.

More cards for my birthday, from two very lovely ladies, both called Val.

For Me

Beautiful cards for my birthday from the lovely Joan and my crafty friend Maria (we met on Docrafts forum about twenty years ago!)

Easter Chick

I received some amazing birthday cards recently and I'll be sharing them here in the next few posts.

This one is from the very talented Coleen. Not only did she make the card, but also the cute little chick, in fact she made one for all the ladies at our club.  Mine laid a chocolate egg yesterday :)

Graphic 45

A pop-up card using my own measurements. That's quite good going for me, normally I let someone else do the hard work and copy from Pinterest or YouTube!

All papers are by Graphic 45.

I made the background using spritzing ink by Tonic, and Pixie Powders, on Papermill 'hemp' cardstock.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day card I made for my amazing mum. I know everyone thinks their own mum is the best but mine is truly inspirational, she is just incredible.

I made the card using a Spellbinders die set. Stamped sentiment is Inkadinkado, alphabet stamps were a magazine freebie.

Fancy fold

Papers and topper all Paper Boutique

Fancy fold card tutorial on You Tube, by Collette Mitrega, can recommend her tutorials - clear and easy to follow.

Jan

Jan is one of my card club ladies.
I've used a card blank by Docrafts (Gorjuss), dies from eBay.

Camera

Sentiment stamp by Papermania
I borrowed the camera stamps (think they are Tim Holtz?) heat embossed with black powder.

I've scattered some embossing enamel and added faux stitching.

Fancy-fold card

I saw this style of card on Pinterest, I'm not sure what it's called. I could only find measurements in Imperial and I needed metric due to having a UK paper trimmer, so I made my own measurements to suit. The finished card is 15cm square.

I used papers, embossing folder, and stamp by Stampin' Up!
The butterfly dies were a magazine freebie.

Card in a box

I bought this die set last year but haven't had any time to have a proper play with it. I'm not entirely happy with this attempt but we made it as a project at card club recently.

The card/ box dies are by John Lockwood, sentiment die by Tonic.
Flower stamps and die by Heartfelt Creations.

Flowers Bloom

Inspired by SU demo Emma Goddard who makes amazing cards.

Stamps, cord, and embossing folder are all Stampin' Up!

Thinking Of You

Main stamp is a cheapy from China, sentiment stamp by JustRite
I've heat embossed with white powder, on white shimmer card, then smooshed Colour Cloud inks over the top.

The net is from B&Q, it's sold as "Grout haze removing cloth" and works out very cheap indeed! much cheaper than cheesecloth but looks virtually the same.
