A card for my cousin to congratulate him on new job

I adapted and enlarged one of the cards below for my cousin as he has a new job in a solicitors office.

A couple of cards I have made to take to work for birthdays




Ballerina Teddy

Another dress a teddy, done as below only this time I used a scewer as a ballet pole.

Angel Teddy


This was done using the dress a teddy stamps. I first stamped the teddy onto teddy coloured card and cut her out, then I stamped her dress, shoes, crown and wings on differnet papers and added a bit of colour then dressed her.

16th Birthday Card


I made this for my friends 'little' girl, she is sweet 16 on 12th. First I used word to print out the numbers as large as I could (for an A5 card) then I traced onto card, cut out and covered the card with pretty paper, then I stamped and embossed gold flowers onto the paper. Next thing I did was to loose the '6' (don't ask, it still hasn't turned up !!!) anyway then it was all edged in peeloffs as the cutting out of the hole in the '6' wasn't exactly perfect.... Anyway, originally I was going to mount them onto a black glossy card, then last night in bed I decided to put the numbers on an acetate rap. The acetate already has gold butterflies on, and I added a few gold flower peel offs. I then wrapped this around a plain black card and put some girly paper inside with shoes on it. *** long explanation for fairly simple card - LOL ***

Anniversary card made for my other cousins Ruby wedding



I really liked this one, so I put it on the mantle piece for a couple of days so I could look at it. The inside is velum which was plain and then printed onto.

Anniversary card made for my Cousins Dave & Sandra

Latest work - poor man's Perganano


Poor man's Pergamano, or Stamping using white ink and embossing powder on vellum. I really like this technique and it's my current favorite.
