Monkey Card

I made this card for my future son-in-law. Both him and my daughter
are monkey daft.The monkey is from Kanban's Wobbler range.
The background paper is from their CD of the same name. The monkey's
head, as the name suggests, wobbles. It is attached to the card with a
spring made from clear plastic.

Bambi card

Bambi and friends were decoupaged. The white card was decorated
using a stamp of a branch and stamped round to enclose Bambi.

The 'grass' is made of several layers of snippedgreen quilling paper.
Simple but effective

Alan's Mum's card

Done with the bookatrix. Had to be a special card for an 83rd birthday!

Border Collie Card

A very simple Kanban card. I LOVE this card as
the image very closely resembles a Border Collie
that was a family pet.

The Great Outdoors

A commercial decoupage was placed on a scene of the Scottish Highlands.

The card was finished off with matching backing paper and a matching badge

champagne card

This card when closed the champagne bottle slid
onto the front of the card

Cliff's Card

This was a photo of the large oak tree outside the house. Cliff, who is a

tree surgeon is seen here hanging upside down from the tree!The photo is

decoupaged and a gold edging with birthday greetings on the side

Angel Birthday Card

This trifold card was tied with ribbon. You can see the angel just peeking out.
On the right-hand side I made a medallion from shrink plastic, glazed it with gold

enamel powder and before it cooled added a metal angel charm.

A hole was made into the medallion before I shrunk it. I attached it to the card
 with some shaped wire and a ribbon.

Inside Angel Card

I was asked to make this card for a lady who is a very strong believer

in angels.The decoupage was mounted on paper taken from a card

 for every day of the year cd, very apt paper for this card!

The Angel originally had Christmas goodies in her basket but
I covered these with Flower soft and made it look like she was holding
a basket of flowers. I intentionally put no stickerson the decoupage so
that the lady I made this for could frame it, which she did.

Dolphin card

The decoupaged dolphins were layered on metallic paper on top of the blue
shiny card. Silver edging and corners were added and the greeting and
name pad were raised with 3d foam

Inside Horse Card

The backing horsey paper complimented the theme of the decoupage.

A typed insert was added with tiny little silver horseshoes and a bottle
and 2 glasses added on 3d foam and coloured in added to the card

Horse Card

This was a very pleasant card to make. The horse scene is in decoupage.

The backing paper was from a cd giving you a paper for every day of the year
to match the person's birthday.
I framed the decoupage, the ribbon had her name in silver letters stuck on as
well as the flower. I also layered the card in matching paper

Another Kanban card but this time an A4 card which made the insert a challege as I only have an A4 printer
so each page of the insert had to be printed out then carefully attached very carefully inside the card. I printed the border and the verse on the right-hand side and on the left-hand side I printed just the same border and applied a rub-on rose

For a Special Lady

This card was based around the orchid which was placed on to angel hair with
gold stars inter-mingled with it when the heat was applied to it. As you can see
from the close up both of these were then attached to a circle of embossed pink
satin paper. The base card was covered with a pink velum paper.The insert was
a paper to match the velum jacket. With a cheeky note written inside saying:-

'Belated Birthday Wishes
PS it wasn't really late.
It just took me ages to make
your card'
The card was for a fellow crafter who saw the joke, thankfully.

Handbag Card

This simple card template was covered with a pink mock snake-skin paper.
Slits were made in the top for the ribbon and 'gems' made up the recipients
name as well as decoration for the card. A small diamonte fake buckle was
attached to the flap and the flap was held in place by some velcro.
A small handbag charm was added for the birthday girl to use later.
As the second photo shows the inside is an exploding card which therefore makes
this ideal both as a card and a gift box as it can hold a small piece of jewellery inside

I love these miniature pots. You can glaze them to any
colour to match the card and also add your own choice
of flowers

21 today

 This is the first card I made using my
 Cricut. The cartridge was 'George'.
 The 21 was cut out in both mirror and
 glitter paper using the shadow effect.
 The 'Party And' were cut out in glitter
 paper and laid on mirror board, layered
 onto pink glitter paper and then on purple
 glitter paper, I used a rub-on for the
 lettering on the large brad and used small
 letter beads to spell out the name of the
 recipient with various craft boxbits & bobs
 to finish it off

Hiking Birthday

I made this card for my daughter's
 intended. He loves hill/mountain
 walking. I took a photo of a highland
 scene which is the main photo. I then
 used this image using 3D Crad Builder
 to make the backing paper. The layering
 paper was made using the same program
 from a map of the West Highland Way
 and also put this onto the little scroll at
 the side and added various pieces
 connected with hill walking to finish it off.
