With Sympathy


Again another simple card - I scanned this on a sheet of lime card because my scanner scans with a white background so the shape of the card wouldn't have shown otherwise.

I used two Elegant Rectangles as the base card and added a panel of Botanical paper across the centre but leaving a border at the left.  Then I added three pieces of Candi and an Oval Messsage on a punched scalloped oval.

Sadly this is a card that I needed to use - RIP Eric xx

Enjoy Your Birthday


This card was really quick to make.  I used two Ritzy lime Elegant Rectangles as the base card and added a panel of Botanical paper across the centre of the top one.  To join the two together I scored the back one vertically approx 2 cm in from the left hand edge and used strong double sided tape (to the left of the score line) to stick the two together.

I used Candi in the centre of some of the flowers and added glitter glue to it for a bit of sparkle!  Finally I used foam pads to attach an Oval Message on a puched scallop oval.

Love & Romance


This is a card I made for a swap on my card group.  The base card is a hot pink pearlescent card from Craftwork Cards.  I used a big Fancy Pants stamp to create the background - as you will see I don't do a lot of stamping but this stamp is one of my all time favourites.

The 'I' and the 'U' are cut with my Mac 'n' Cheese dies and I used a glue pen to attach these onto the panels of black card.  The heart is from a Blonde Moments stamp set - I stamped it onto hot pink card, cut it out, attached it to the black panel with foam pads and added Glossy Accents to some of the circles.

The three black panels are attached to the card with foam pads and to finish off I added three pieces of Candi and added Glossy Accents to them.

Best Wishes


This is another card made using a small square Back to Basics card blank from Craftwork Cards.  I scanned this card over a sheet of black card to show that the Notch Tag actually overhangs the spine of the card.

The card blank was covered in lime Botanical paper.  I added a panel of blue Botanical paper to the tag, attached Candi down the left hand edge and an In Circle Message inside a scalloped circle at the right hand edge.  The tag was then attached to the card using foam pads.

Birthday Wishes


This is another simple card, again on a small square Back to Basics blank from Craftwork Cards.  I cut two squares of Botanical paper and stuck them to diagonally opposite corners of the card.  Then I attached three Spiky Flowers using foam pads and added Candi to the centres.

As this card was so simple I also decorated the inside with  an Oval Message on an oval scalloped circle which was attached onto a small panel of Botanical paper using foam pads.

Happy Birthday Again


This is another very simple card.  I used a small square Back to Basics card blank from Craftwork Cards and added six strips of Botanical papers - 3 horizontally and 3 vertically - random widths and randomly spaced.  I then added a Retro Daisy (attached with foam pads) with a piece of Candi in the centre and a scalloped oval with an Oval Message in the centre (also attached with foam pads).

Happy Birthday



I used a small square Back to Basics card blank from Craftwork Cards as the base for this, covered the front with the blue paper and attached the panel of lime over the top.  Then I added three pieces of Candi to the centre of the flowers. 

Finally I added the scalloped oval and sentiment.
