40th Birthday Card

This is the card I made for my younger daughter's 40th Birthday. I love this Marianne Butterfly die and have used it on several cards but this is the first time I have used black. The little butterflies were punched out and the swirls are from Creative Expressions.

Entry into a Sketch Competition


This is my entry into the Crafts4Eternity Sketch Competition. I struggled at first with this sketch as there were so many components but was really pleased with the result. The shapes were cut with nesties and the border was made with a Martha Stewart punch.

Competition Entry



This is my entry to the Creative Cardmaking competition using papers from issue 36. The shape is cut from my new label nestie which I got for Christmas. The flower is from Creative Expressions and I have used white  card candi coloured with a promarker.

A Christmas Card for Toby


A bit late posting but this is the Christmas Card I made for our new grandson, Toby, who was adopted in 2011 This was his first Christmas with our family. I used a digi stamp and coloured it in using promarkers, used card candi and some pompoms to finish off. The scalloped circles were cut using Nesties.

A very contemporary Christmas Card






This is my entry into the Creative Cardmaking Competition in Issue 33. Unfortunately because I have used acetate is has been quite hard to get a good picture. I used the paper from the issue, mounted onto black card and covered with acetate. I cut the poinsettas in black shiny card using a Mariannes Design die and used a Craftwork Cards message. .
