Wedding Wishes

I put this card into a box frame which I had painted white.  It's pretty self explanatory really and quite simple.  The initials were cut using my Mac 'n' Cheese dies.

When I cut the strip for the pinwheel flower, I included a narrow border of lilac which looks good around the edge of the flower.

It has winged its way to Warwick and went down really well with the recipients.

Happy Birthday

Another Kraft with Colour card made with a DL blank.  I added a punched circle to the centre of the pinwheel flower along with a small die cut flower and a piece of Candi.

I love the colour combination of the sentiment and kraft paper.

Thinking of You

I made this card using Secret Garden papers from Craftwork Cards.

I actually used this as a sympathy card; the delicate, pastel colours work well.

Happy Birthday Jeannie

I made this card for my friend, Jeannie - bet you can't guess how old she is today!!  She certainly doesn't look it!

Anyway, Happy Birthday Jeannie - have a fabulous day and enjoy your celebrations xxx

Shabby Vintage Friend

This was made using an 8" x 8" card blank which I covered with a full sheet  of Shabby Vintage paper.  The belt, flowers, buttons and foiled letters are from the same collection as is the paper I used for the pinwheel flower.

Shabby Vintage Chocolate

I covered this chocolate bar using Shabby Vintage paper, a Shabby Vintage belt with a pinwheel flower that I made with my Hougie Board.

I've also made a card to match this which I will post in the next few days.

Sweet Meadow Chocolate Bar

Here is a bar of chocolate that I decorated to go with yesterday's birthday card.  I wrapped a piece of Sweet Meadow paper round the bar and fastened it with double sided tape.  I then added a strip of the embossed rose paper and finished off with a pinwheel flower matching the one on the birthday card.

Sweet Meadow Birthday Card

This birthday card took me ages to make as I decoupaged all of the elements on the paper.  I didn't realise how long it would take to cut all of the images out.

I used a clear glittery Gelly Roll pel to highlight parts of the images.  The pinwheel flower in the centre was made using a 2.5cm wide strip of Sweet Meadow paper scored at 0.5cm intervals.  I then folded this into a concertina, stuck the two ends together, pushed it into shape and stuck it to a punched circle of card (using Glossy Accents) to keep it in place.  I also used Glossy Accents to attach the In Circle message.
