Hello!
I have been crafting ever since I can remember. I am retired now, and have gotten more into making handmade cards. I have also done some scrapbooking and a couple orders for wedding invitations. I really enjoyed doing them! Also have a few baby items I have made, used to sew all the time, but the cards have taken over now!
This was for a colour challenge, we had to use Cream/Brown/Orange.
Used cream card and stamped brown butterflies, the scalloped butterflies were printed on vellum paper and using the scallop punch, cut it out and the orange stock. Stamped the sentiment, added some glitter and cut out one of the smaller butterfllies. Added the strip of brown cardstock, which I used a border punch on.
Made these for the grandchildren, so they can put their tooth in the little envelope for the Tooth Fairy! There is a tiny piece of velcro attached to the flap of the envelope to close it, Slip the card into an envelope and place under your pillow and wait and see what the Tooth Fairy brings you!
This is a new theme for me to do. Printed the background paper and the image onto glossy photo paper, which was then mounted on textured burgandy papers. Stuffed a feather under one corner and thought that was enough to embellish this card.
a card challenge. The first picture is the front of the card, the shopping bag filled with wine bottles, is 3D. Open the door, and see part of the greeting.
Inside the larger part of the card is the birthday verse.
This was a special card made for three old friends that got together after almost 30yrs. I used a photo I took from our first snowfall this year and a photo of the 3 of them. I did some fiddling and placed the 3 men under the tree and put Santa hats on them all. Then sent it as a Christmas card to the two that were visiting! I think it turned out great!
Made 100 of these for son's wedding. Using a sand coloured cardstock for the base, I then added a layer of handmade paper, with torn edges. Mounted the printed vellum on top. Applied the navy blue raffia and added starfish. I was so happy to find a place in Florida where I could buy 100 starfish for $20!
The one lesson I did learn in making these, is when using square envelopes, the postage costs more.
This was an easy card to make, printed off the window and mounted it onto red textured card stock. Used the border punch and added some peel off stars.
First card I have made using new backing papers and images, they are all printables. You can't tell by the picture, but it is mounted onto a brown, textured cardstock, and then added the printed backing paper, framed the santa, and added the Merry Christmas medallion and a few gems.
Printed off the car image a couple of times, so I could 3D Decoupage it. Took a photo and resized it so I could put the couple looking out the back window of the car.
Mounted unto blue smooth cardstock, added heart peel offs and a little glitter on the tail lights.
This one is printed on glossy photo paper, and 3D decoupaged the Egyptian images, Mounted on chocolate brown textured cardstock, used corner peel offs.
I have had computer troubles and lost all my programs, and still don't have them all back on, so at the moment I can't resize my photos and take away the background! Hopefully I will soon have all my programs installed.
