Card for gran on mother's day, the flowers are stamped and fussy cut then arranged to form a 3d effect. The stamps and glitter are from Chloe's creative cards.

 

Cats love boxes and I love my mum. This card was inspired by our cat who does indeed lives sitting in cardboard boxes.

This card folds flat to post.

When open there is a cat in a box.

The cat design is actually a basket on silhouette design studio which I took certain elements and scaled down. The card itself is just a standard box card design. 

This one I added happy mothers day to buy was also commissioned to make one for another cat lover as a birthday card.

 

Mothers day flowers

 This was a card I made for my mum in law who lived in Tenerife a couple of years ago. It was the perfect card as it folded flat to enable posting and she loved it  and had it on display long after mother's day.

1st birthday cuddles

 A number one for a 1st birthday sending love and cuddles.

Art deco inspired birthday card

I do love some art deco styles and I decided a twisted easel card lent itself to the style very well.the drama and class  of black and white is the perfect contrast to the ladies green contrasting dress and the fern adds context as though she is standing in front of a screen from the era.

 

Who loves shoes

Card for a great granddaughter who loves shoes and sparkle. The fun stamp is by lily of the valley coloured in alcohol markers and glitter added for sparkle.

 

Hello

a big bold bright sunflower to say hello. Flower stamp from Chloe's creative cards.

 

Aqua anniversary

 A pretty anniversary card in shades of aqua, all elements by Chloe's creative cards.

Spring flowers

This project I made for me not actually knowing how big it was before I started.

 The narcissus are not far off a similar size to the real thing so it makes quite a centre piece on a spring or Easter table.i added a paper moulded bumble bee to the watering can handle just for extra spring fun. 

Gingham love

I made this card for my mum in laws birthday but didn't add the sentiment till after I had taken the photos. The papers are from my stash and the flower die is from Chloe's creative cards.

 

Coolest Emma

 I have  a friend named Emma who only drinks Coors beer, I found a design on silhouette design studio for 'the coolest mama' and thought it could be adapted and she loved it. 

He's a wizard

This commission was for  a guys 50th birthday and may seem an odd choice but was based on a character he played in a computer game.

The hat lifts off to allow for a birthday scroll that had items listed in a fun way of all the things going off in the world in the year of his birth.

The base of the figure was taken from a design on silhouettes design studio and modified to become the wizard .the staff he carries is his in game weapon.

The scroll went down really well causing much hilarity and the character box  stands on the guys desk at home.

 

I'm sorry ....

When someone is in hospital or has to visit the hospital it can be daunting so anything that can lighten the situation is good although if laughing can hurt that may not be a good thing. This was a freebie Digi stamp from many years ago and I did change the sentiment to holiday from vacation to make it more British. Whenever I have sent or given this card it always brings  a smile as I think everyone at some point has met the nurse on the card.

 

Shutter surprise message

Grown up brothers and often men in general can be hard to make cards for when they only have limited interests and you don't want to get the same thing every year. 

My brother is no different,he doesn't drink and is all about cycling when he isn't working. 

I saw this shutter card and thought it would be a fun way to send a birthday greeting and though I don't do it very often I actually impressed my brother and got a text message of thanks asking how I made it .
