Best mum ever

A barrow full of blooms for the best mum ever. This card folds flat for posting and has a fold at the card centre which when the outer edges are brought forward the card stands with the sentiment banner bowed so the card stands up unsupported.

Mum

As if by magic

When my brother was little he used to love watching Mr Ben and would try to guess where the magic door would take Mr Ben.

My bother tried to make out  he didn't remember who Mr Ben was when his 2 teenage sons asked but the smile on his face as he opened the envelope said different.

Commissioned 21st

This commissioned card came with a photo, the young man himself had recently visited Kenya to take part in tagging endangered rhinos as an extra curriculum suggested activity for his university course. His dad who commissioned the card requested the card to have the young man in his pithe hat and a rhino on the card along with 21st birthday wishes.

His dad loved the card

 and so did his son.

This hat comes complete with lures.

This hat is not only a hat though as it's an easel card with a message.

Veg out and relax

 Making cards for my dad is hard nas he doesn't have many interests other than TV and horse racing and there are only so many variations you can do on a theme,so it was time to think outside of the box and this is what I came up with. I am not 100%that he liked it but it did make him laugh so I took it as a win. The stamps I have had for ages and I think they came from memory box.

 This one was for my mum, a layered card with pretty lace flowers ,all product by Chloe's creative cards.

2 cards in 1

 This was a commissioned card for a husbands birthday but it had a very specific remit. The gent in question owns a morris minor and that was to be the main focus for the card but also have one of his 3 dogs incorporated on the card and his name along with happy birthday. The lady in question was very happy and so was the gent I am pleased to say

Commissioned card for a computer literate dad

When your dad was around as a child when computers started to become available for home use and a floppy disk was the first big jump forward what can be better than bringing back some happy childhood memories of computing with his dad. The design is by silhouette design studio.

Footy fans 60th

 Commissioned card for a Sheffield wednesday fan who you guessed it was celebrating his 60th. The background stamp was from one of the first stamp sets I ever bought and was by the stamp man, the number dies are from crafters companion and the owls were from a magazine freebie.

Special delivery

When it's a special birthday I think you need a special card. This card was for a lady who loves to travel so what better than a suitcase with labels on from just a few of her favourites destination.

The suitcase had to open  otherwise how else could I send my birthday message.

The message was to celebrate her 70th birthday and rather than the suitcase being filled with clothes flowers seemed far more appropriate.

 The luggage label was where we sent her love so she knew who had packed her special bag.

The suitcase base design is from silhouette design studio and the flower from Chloe's creative crafts.

Forever friends I love you teddies ,this is perfect for valentine's,anniversary to your spouse or even just to send a hug to a loved one who needs a little lift.

Floral love heart

A die cut and embossed card to send love for a special birthday greeting,glitter was added to the leaves both on the heart and the background although it doesn't show very well on the photo. Emboss and die from Chloe's creative crafts.
