Daffodil


We made this card at club and the sample shown here was unfinished. I never got round to adding a sentiment and ideally I would have added some black gems or liquid pearls to the embossed panels.

The daffodil die is by Tonic, oval dies by Creative Expressions. My favourite ever embossing folder, Studded Leather by Crafter's Companion.

On the pink card-stock I've used French Foliage stamps by Stampin' Up! and the embossing folder on the tan card is also SU.

Wishing You Well


I love this sentiment die, it's part of a set by Card Making Magic. I usually add things like this to my wish-list on Craft Stash and wait until there's an offer on (fairly frequent with their own brand items) because invariably with a set there's always one that I don't like!

The four-leaf clover die is by Tim Holtz for Sizzix and it's called Lucky Love. It's an Impresslit die so you get the lovely embossed detail as you cut.

Card is 5 x 7 inches

Vintage Rose


Die is by Sam Poole for Creative Expressions and is called Shabby Basics Vintage Rose.

I cased this design from Sam's samples. I've used old papers from Trimcraft, and added some Colour Cloud ink, sentiment stamp is PTI.





 

Christmas Boxes


Some small boxes I made for table gifts at Christmas, they each hold four Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

Originally I was just going to make a standard box with lid, then I realised if I used my SU envelope punch board tool that I could save card (one piece of A4 instead of two). I guess the downside is that you can't access the chocolates without destroying the box!

The log slice decoration is Tim Holtz for Sizzix die with matching embossing folder, and I've highlighted with gilding wax. Foliage dies are by Crafters Companion, sentiments were from The Range.

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)
