Wedding card

A simple card made using Amy Tangerine card and ribbon and a spellbinders frame die set. Finished with adhesive pearls and crystal heart.

I made this card by blending lots of Dyan Reavely Dylusions spray inks onto watercolour card. Then I used an MFT die to cut the floral frame from Kraft cardstock and layered it on top of the watercolour card. The full thing was then mounted onto a Kraft card blank and sentiment stamped at the bottom. The centres of the flowers were dotted with Ranger glossy accents.

Dad birthday card

I used a nice cracked paint effect background paper for this card. Then stamped and die cut the sentiment and simply attached. The edges were all inked using Tim Holtz distress ink in Pumice.

Ruby Wedding card

This card was made using Amy Tangerine background paper and my all time favourite die - Tim Holtz Tattered Floral. Finished off with a sentiment stamp and red gems.

Best wishes card

This card was made using a ribbon border and stamping a row of flowers. I then punched several small flowers and stuck them to the stamped flowers. Finished off with a sentiment stamp and Stickles.

Anniversary card

This is a very simple card made using a Kraft blank card. I stuck on polka dot paper border and polka dot ribbon. Then cut out and attached polka dot heart. Finished the card with a sentiment stamp and various buttons.

Golden Wedding card

I used golden coloured background paper and ribbon on this card. Then I stamped the jar and tag and filled the jar with golden stamped '50'. Stamped sentiment on the tag and attached it using twine.

Sympathy card

This card was made using black ink and Little Claire stamp (1 of my all time favourite stamps). I stamped the background then layered black card and the main stamped image, along with a simple sentiment. Finished off with some Stickles on the flower stamens.

Fathers Day Card

This is a very simple card made using washi tape and a stamped sentiment. Nothing more required.

Sister birthday card

I used a blank Kraft card and built up the front using Little Claire dinkies stamp for the flowers and Janes Doodles 'Life is good' stamp set for the mason jar and tag. I coloured these using a selection of Dylusions ink sprays - LOVE these sprays!

Boy's birthday card

I used a selection of brightly coloured papers on the card background. Then die cut the circle aperture and scalloped circle frame. I stamped and embossed the '4' on two circles and stuck them together, threading with twine. I attached the threaded circles to the aperture so the centre of the card spins.

Sewing crazy colours

I have spent a few weekends now making these cushions and footstool covers using various patterned fabrics from my stash. I love Amy Butler especially and like to clash patterns. I'm quite pleased with the results and think they go well with my retro furniture.

Buttons of love

I used a set of Urban Stamps rubber stamps and water coloured them using Tim Holtz distress inks. I then applied glossy accents to each button and distressed the edges of the card.
