Birthday Wishes

For this card I used a panel of Kraft paper down the centre of the blank - I think that this is my favourite design in the Kraft paper pack.  I cut a large pink flower down the centre and attached one piece to each edge of the panel and then added small darker pink flower to the centre of each piece.  In between the two flower halves I added a medium sized flower (attached with foam pads) with Candi in the centre.

To finish off the card I used a panel of gold foiled paper with a foiled sentiment mounted on a pink message mat.

On your Birthday

Made with a square blank, this is another quick card.  Both of the die cut flowers are attached with foam pads and the petals on the bottom flower are curled down whereas those on the top flower are curled up.

Have a Lovely Day

Here is another card using the Kraft with Colour collection.  I chose more earthy shades this time so the card would be suitable for a man.

Again it's very simple, two panels of Kraft paper, two of the foiled papers, two die cut messages and Candi to finish!

Kraft with Colour

The latest collection from Craftwork Cards is called Kraft with Colour.  It is made up of Kraft paper which is printed with exclusive designs, gold, sand, pink and coral papers foiled in gold and a selection of die cut flowers and shapes along with foiled messages.

Here I have covered a square card blank with the Kraft paper and added two die cut flowers, a die cut circle and message, some of the foiled paper and then finished off with Candi.

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.

Christmas Chocolates

Here's a couple of bags of chocolate mints that I decorated.  Each mint is sandwiched between two scalloped circles.  I then added a punched circle, a punched snowflake and a piece of Candi.

Finally I put them into cellophane bags and tied then with ribbon and a tag made from a scalloped circle, a punched circle and an In Circle message.  In total I made 13 of these bags in various colour combinations.

Advent Tree

Here's an Advent Tree that I made using a kit from Tando Creative and Frosty Papers from Craftwork Cards.

The kit and the mini advent numbers came from http://www.theverysmallcompany.co.uk/  I used Dylusions Primer followed by Coastal Blue Kaisercraft paint.  The numbers are painted with a  silver Tim Holtz Dabber and I painted them before removing them from the sheet.  I also used the Dabber to paint the top of the tree.

It did take a long time to make but it was worth the effort.
