New Home




This is made with an 8 by 8 card blank from Craftwork Cards. The paper with the houses on is by Fancy Pants and I used my Mac 'n' Cheese dies to cut out the wording from some Coredinations card.

Happy Birthday Dan


And here is the side view:



I made this easel card for Dan who is 21 today - bet you would never have guessed! The card blank is an 8 by 8 from Craftwork Cards. The chipboard letters and numbers (Craftwork Cards) were embossed with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes embossing folder and then painted with a silver Dabber. The dotty paper is from the Best of British collection by Craftwork Cards. I finished the card off with an oval sentiment from Craftwork Cards mounted on a scalloped oval punched with a Stampin' Up punch.
Happy Birthday Dan, hope you have a great day xx

Mint Chocolate

Another card using Elegant Rectangles. I stuck a strip of Mint Yummy Scrummy paper across the centre of the card and added Card Candy over the spots on the top and bottom edges. I then mounted a Mini Elegant Square using foam pads and added Card Candy with an In Circle Message. To finish off I used two chocolate daisies with Card Candy in the centres.

Everything I used is from Craftwork Cards.

Chocolate Box

Everything I used for this card is from Craftwork Cards. The blank is made from an Elegant Rectangle which I scored down the centre. I then added silver foiled paper from the Grape and Grey Collection, Chocolate Box Card Candy, a grey Beautiful Butterfly and an In Circle message mounted on a punched scalloped circle.

Ritzy Lime and Black


This is another card made using one of the Elegant Rectangles from Craftwork Cards. I must confess that I pinched this idea from a card by Sue Taylor and changed it slightly.

I scored the rectangle down the centre to make a card blank. The stem of the flower is a Sassy Stem by Craftwork Cards with a piece of black grosgrain ribbon tied round it to form leaves. The flower head is a punched black scalloped circle with an In Circle message in the centre. I punched a black scalloped oval and added an oval sentiment to the centre. Both the scalloped circle and oval were stuck to the card with foam pads. I used a black fineliner pen to add faux stitching detail round the edge of the card.

Elegant Rectangles


This card was made using two cream Elegant Rectangles from Craftwork Cards. I scored one down the short edge and stuck the second one to the front using double sided tape. This allows the card to open.

I added vertical strips of Milk and Dark Chocolate Yummy Scrummy papers from Craftwork Cards and one horizontal Dark Chocolate strip. The daisy is from the Craftwork Cards flower store and I punched a circle of Dark Chocolate paper for the centre. I used a Stampin' Up punch for the scalloped circle and added an In Circle sentiment from Craftwork Cards to the centre. Both the daisy and the scalloped circle were stuck onto the card with foam pads to add dimension.

Mint Chocolate Chip

This little card was made using a Craftwork Cards wrap with the bottom trimmed off. The paper is Dark Chocolate Yummy Scrummy from Craftwork Cards. The die cut daisies are from the Craftwork Cards Flower Store and are embellished with Card Candy. I used a Stampin' Up punch for the scalloped oval and added an oval sentiment from Craftwork Cards with two self-adhesive crystals.
