I have made SOME cards.

A few more cards I made for Kaaren at Fat Cats Card Design, plus some for my card stash.

Thank you for looking.

Card for Pam

It's been quite a while since I have made a card, and since a neighbour was having a birthday I thought I should get to work and make her a card, this is what i came up with.

I made the background with some distress inks on some cheap water colour paper added a touch more colour with a stencil and some more distress ink.

The flowers I also made from the same water colour paper which I coloured with distress inks and cut out with the Cheery Lynn Gardenia Strip die.

Snugglepot and Cuddlepie

Kaaren from Fat Cats Card Corner sent me this cute Snugglepot and Cuddlepie cling stamp from Paper Roses.

I've coloured them with copics and hand drawn a leaf for them to be sitting on.

The Sue Wilson Ocean Waves Pinpoint embossing folder looked like the leaves and wattle from a Wattle tree so added some colour to the raised embossed bits also using copics.

I also used the Sue Wilson Scalloped Lattice Frame die set.

And here is a version of the cute stamp done in Christmas Colours again using copics to colour.

The Sue Wilson Ocean Waves Pinpoint embossing folder was used again and the lovely border die they are sitting on is the Paper Roses Madison Lace Edge die.

Happy Christmas die is from Cheery Lynn.

This card was made using The Sue Wilson Ocean Waves Pinpoint embossing folder

again as well as the Paper Roses Madison Lace Edge die.

the Flowers are Sue Wilson Striped Nasturtiums and the With Sympathy die is from the Crafters Companion Die'sire range.

Leonie Pujol Rag Doll

I have two more cards to share that I made for Kaaren at Fat Cats Card Corner.

The dies I've used are:
the leonie Pujol Rag Doll Stamp set
Sue Wilson Tropical Hibiscus Die set
Spellbinders Emmeline Treillage - Venice Lace

I've used the leonie Pujol Rag Doll Stamp set to do some copic colouring, paper piecing and added glossy accents to the hearts in her hair, her patent leather shoes lol, the star in her hands and the Happy Everything.


I also used the Sue Wilson-Tropical Hibiscus die set and the Memory Box/Poppy stamps lavender Stems left Corner Die.

New cards for Fat Cats Card Corner

I'm back making cards for Kaaren at Fat Cats Card Corner after a bit of time off for moving house/unit.

The Fat Cats Card Corner products I've used are the Marianne Design Creatables Petra's Circle w/Bird LR0457, the Marianne Creatables Frogs and Dragonfly LR0461, and the beautiful papers from the 6"x6" Rambling Rose Paper Pad by Ultimate Crafts. 

The flowers I made using the Sue Wilson Perfect Peony Die and the leaves are Spellbinders Foliage.

I only used the Marianne Design Creatables Petra's Circle w/Bird LR0457 for this card as well as the 

Marianne Craftable Basic Circle CR1331 to cut the center image.

Here I've again used the Marianne Design Creatables Petra's Circle w/Bird LR0457, the Marianne Creatables Frogs and Dragonfly LR0461, and the beautiful papers from the 6"x6" Rambling Rose Paper Pad by Ultimate Crafts. I love the little red eyed green tree frogs so coloured my frogs to look like them.

More Orchids

There isn't  much crafting going on here as we are in the process of moving, from a rather roomy two bedroom unit into a very small two bedroom unit.

It's going to be a bit of a challenge fitting my sewing set up and my craft room into one small bedroom but it's a challenge I'm up for.

In the meantime here are two more orchid cards I made a while back, one for a sister in laws 60th birthday and the other for our youngest daughters birthday.

And then there was this gold fish slider card I made for our great grandsons 2nd birthday.

Butterflies and Orchids

I love seeing images of Butterflies and Orchids they are such a beautiful combination.

and so I made some orchids using the Marianne Design Collectible Orchids die set.

The butterflies are a rubber stamp from URBAN Stamps which I coloured with copics and cut them out by hand.

Also used was the Spellbinders Basic Lattice Die.

Marianne Design Craftables Circle Die.

Cheery Lynn Fanciful flourish and Sue Wilson Laurel Leaves.

I created the background for this one using the Spellbinders Lovin' Diamonds die as a stencil and spritzing on some Dylusions Ink spray, Calypso Teal.

Embossed Backgrounds

I've been playing with my embossing folders, I embossed them with white card stock and inked them with sponge daubers and Distress inks.

Here I have used them on cards I made for online friends birthdays.

Embossing folder I used is a 140x140 square one by Kaszazz called Leaves #5444

The Cheery Lynn Anastatia border strip hides where my extended embossing wasn't quite perfect.

The flowers I made with the Cottage Cutz 3D flower no 4.

The leaves are Sue Wilson Orange Blossom Leaves die.

The embossing folder I used on this card was the Craft Concepts Secret Garden 5x7

Border is the Martha Stewart Doily Lace Border punch.

Flowers I made using the Die-namics Royal Rose, for the purple and white ones I just rolled the two colours together.

Leaves are from the Sue Wilson Christmas Rose Die set.

BELLA

Kaaren from Fat Cats Card Corner sent me this lovely Dee's Distinctively Bella die to play with,

she's an outline die and oh so pretty.

For my first card I cut the die from white card stock and stuck it onto black, colouring only her lips with a red copic.

The flowers I made using the Cottage Cutz 3D Flower 4 and I made them by wetting them and then holding each petal over something round and pinching them together with my fingernails, waited for them to dry then opened them out a little and curved the petals by folding over something round, some gentle cupping to the centres and then layering two of them together offsetting the petals.

The leaves are Sue Wilson Faux Quilled Leaves and the embossing folder is Delicate Hearts.

For this card I cut Bella from an eggplant colour and stuck it onto white, (even though it looks like a pale grey here, it was a terrible overcast,wet and cold day) then coloured the flower in her hair with copics.

The flowers on this one is the Sue Wilson -  Festive Collection - Christmas Rose,

After cutting them out I left them in the dies and coloured them with copics.

On both cards I used dimensional tape to stick down the Bella layer.
