For Ellie

A commissioned boxed card for a young lady called Ellie,whose favourite colour was purple.

The card was quite dimensional so required a deep box  and was posted as a parcel well padded.

The box top had a matching flower design and silver foliage and decorative gems for a bit of bling.

The card was an 8x8 inch z fold card with 2 circle discs one for the birthday wishes and one on the inside of the card for the personal message again decorated with purple vellum flowers silver foliage printed on acetate and lots of gems.

 

Graduation celebration

A graduation cap for a young man who graduated from Cambridge university.

The cap shows a white edge on the cap to depict the actual cap design  and it sits on the top of an easel card with a message of congratulations on the base.

I created a matching box for the card  so it could be hand delivered by his family for the graduation celebrations.

 The designs for the base card and box are available on silhouette design studio.

Paper love planes

A fun way to send love to someone close or far away as paper planes don't really fly that far. The plane will do somersaults along it's journey as it tumbles or slides down the channel created with a penny on its reverse for stability. A sentiment can be added to the sky if required.

Unicorn rucksack

My sister in law fostered 2 young sisters and they loved my rucksack so I decided to make on for each of them as Christmas presents in be known to their foster mum. 

They had to be similar but different enough that they didn't have arguments. Unfortunately the 2 girls were moved before they were given their gifts and were not allowed to take any of their things with them.

This one I did with flowers and a unicorn as the central focal point, they are smaller in size than the large one I made for the lady who wanted it for her disabled daughter but didn't want to pay for the cost of materials as they were for smaller children. They were made from Calico and padded and hand painted just the same and were  a labour of love. 

 If you know a little girl who loves unicorns or a big girl who wants a little bag though I am not sure the straps would fit an adult though I haven't tried I would be willing to sell for the cost of materials but it is one of a kind.

The second rucksack for the other girl had fairies as the focal point but again is the same size and again I would be willing to sell much as I love looking at them.

You are...

 A card I made for my son who was having a rough time in life and doubting some decisions he had no control over. He loves eagles and the words were simply meant to give him a boost. 

Layered eagle

 This eagle sits above my son's desk holding the motivation card I made for him. The eagle is created by layering different cut sheets of card to create the different feathers and patterns so is quite  a sturdy decoration. Please excuse the pink suits on the wall remnants of blue tak used to hold post it notes he used as studying prompts. The eagle design is from silhouette design studio ,the colours are my son's favourite colours.

Doggy sympathy card

 A commission for a sad family event as loosing a fur baby is never good.

Rhubarb and custard

 A bespoke card for a friend who helped when we built a bar on the side of our house so my husband had somewhere to store his home brew instead of it living inside in my kitchen. The bar was named the feisty cat as the friend always got a slap from our cat when he attempted to stroke her. The rhubarb and custard was an in joke between him and my husband at the time and was so fitting and well received.

Just a keep and his dog

 A combined card for a special son who loves his keep and his spaniel . The car design by silhouette design studio though customised as requested for colour and registration and the dog behind the wheel. The stop sign serves as a place for the birthday message.

You are a winner

 My friends son had his school sports day and excelled as he won more challenges than anyone else. He was handed the trophy and allowed to have a photo taken but the minute was fleeting and he came home with nothing but a memory and a photo sent to his mum's phone ( she is a teacher in another school and couldn't be there). He was so disappointed that he had nothing to show his mum or anyone else that represented his win. I found the design for this trophy box on silhouette design studio and decided he deserved  atrophy of his own. I tied ribbons in the 4 house colours to the cup and filled it with some of his favourite treats. He was thrilled when I gave him the trophy and couldn't believe it had all the house colours on the handles,he didn't even realise it had treats inside until his mum said he took it to bed and laid it on his pillow and realised it had a lid. The cup slept in bed with him for months even when it had been squashed and rolled on so I think he might have liked having his own trophy just a little bit.

Superpowers

 My hubby and friends like to have an outing every so often  where they partake in what they call a session of drinking beer. I saw this design on silhouette design studio and thought it would be perfect for their outing. The design was cut in heat transfer vinyl and heat pressed and hubby and friends loved it.

What a star

 A clean and simple design with a die from memory box. The die is backed with mirror card and the sentiment also cut from mirrors to send some magical birthday wishes.

Pink clematis birthday card

 A big bold birthday card in pink and gold. The floral die cut background offers detail to this clean card and a base for the large flower  as a central focus with a tag holding the sentiment of a birthday wish.

Glossy poppies

 These poppies are the focal point coloured and glossy accents added which gives the flowers and enamel effect. The background is from crafters companion and is a double sided diesel that produces this fab geometric background.

Floral borders

The stamps on this card are from a Chloe's creative cards magazine box , I cut extra flowers to create depth. I put the sentiment in a couple of frames centrally. 

 

Clean and simple message

 Clean and simple anniversary card in craft and mirri card. The die is from memory box. 

Poppies and pebble

 You are never too old to learn something new and recently I learnt how to acrylic paint pour and then how to use the finished canvas to create a picture which I used as a background on this card.

The poppy die is from Sheena and I cut it several times to create the 3 d effect by layering certain parts.

All star Dad

 A pretty simple card commission for dad, the backing paper has craft beer bottles and the star has more stars clean and simple but detail when you look.

Golf balls

 A golfer never seems to have enough balls, though they never admit to loosing any,so golf balls for a golfer seems like the perfect card. 

The design for the card by design studio at silhouette.

Slimline job celebration

A pretty central panel wrapped with vellum which has the sentiment and accented with pretty vellum daies with gem centres. All products from Chloe's creative cards.
