Blue Wren Card


I have stamped and coloured the image with
pens, also I added a touch of blue glitter. The 
circle has been stitched and beaded, I then
finished the card with peel-off stickers.

Vintage Card


Fortunately this was a pre-cut 3d image, I'd 
hate to cut out those tiny pieces myself. I used
my CB Swirls embossing folder, some SB paper,
die cuts, punched border, velvet ribbon and a
peel off sentiment.

Twisted Pyramid Fairy Card


Last night while watching Dancing With The 
Stars, I decided I would bead and stitch this
card, I then added the twisted pyramid (I 
actually dislike making pyramids, I always find
them difficult to line up) and I then added
some pearls in the corners.

Woody card

Next week is my grandson's birthday, so
yesterday I thought I'd get to work on his
card. Last year I made him a Buzz Lightning
card, he then put in his order for a Woody
card for this year. I have a Toy Story 
Cricut cartridge which I used to cut out the 
characters, I used some of my Cuttlebug
embossing folders and lots of glitter glue.
The card opens three ways (I guess it's 
a tri-card), the first picture below is the 
front.

Cameo card


Another week flown by, I'm afraid this is the 
only card I have managed to make. The embossing 
folder came with an Australian cardmaking 
magazine, I just love it! I used some SB paper,
die cuts, and a peel off sentiment.

Umbrella Man card


Yesterday I had a play with Perfect
Pearls to create the background of 
my card, I also used some embossing
powder to my die cuts and swirls.
The base is SB paper, the house and
lamp post are from Cricut Heritage 
and the umbrella man is a Tim Holtz
 Sizzix die.

Get Well Butterfly Card


This was a quick card to make, I used a
precut 3d image, an EK punch for the
border, a CB embossing folder for the back
-ground, ribbon and a sentiment peeloff.
It's hot again in Perth today, I sure hope
this is the last of the hot weather!

Butterfly Card

I have embroidered the border and butterflies,
added a die cut, some pearls and made the 3d
image. I seem to be making a lot of cards using
green lately, I must be longing for cooler weather.

90th birthday card


Today is my mothers' 90th birthday, quite
a milestone! We celebrated yesterday with 
family at a nearby restaurant. I like to 
personalize special cards with photos. The
photo of my mother was taken in WW2, when
she was in the army, before children, 
grandchildren and great children. During the
week I made her a scrapbook album about her life,
 which was a big hit when I gave it to her at the 
restaurant yesterday.
I made the card with die cuts, SB paper,
paper flowers, ribbon, peel offs  and used a 
MS punch for the border.

Baby Boy


This little man reminds me of my grandson,
a real little climber at a very early age.
 I saw the idea of making this card, in a 
 recent issue of a Dutch magazine. I used a
birdcage die, 3d image, a stripe of rhinestones
and embroidered the border.

Seated Girl


I have had my eyes glued to the telly, watching
the Australian Open tennis, what an amazing
final on Sunday night! Now I'm back into my craft 
room, I made this card last night. I made the 3d
image, attached a die cut, pearls, paper flower, 
chip board label and punched gate background.

Male Birthday Card


I thought I'd better make some birthday
cards for my brothers, so here is my first 
attempt. I used a Wild Rose Studio stamp,
coloured it with watercolour woodless, 
pencils but unfortunately being so warm 
here, the colour dried too quickily! 
The background has been embossed with a 
CB swirls embossing folder (my favourite), 
finished off with some peel-offs, 3d glitter
glue and ribbon.

The weather in Perth is sooo perfect lately,
warm days, fresh afternoon sea breeze and
cool nights but I suppose the hot days are 
ahead. My card this week I have used a 3d
image, peel off sentiment, a little paper flower,
die cut and I have punched the background
card.

Border Collie Birthday Card

                         
                                   I made this card late last month for Loz.
                                   The image is a Canine Companion Wavy
                                   Stacker, if was a little different to make.
                                   I haven't made any cards this week, I've
                                   been all caught up with the Christmas craziness.
                                   I used floral embellishments, brad, stickers
                                   and die cut.
                           I will be entering this in Make-it-Monday#68-Anything goes
