Hacking Jacket card

 

Hi and welcome to my blog,

today I would like to share a male card using the Handsomely suited bundle, Gilded Autumn DSP, Whiskey Business for the sentiment and Snow Front (retired) stamp set for the background trees.

I wanted a different type of jacket style for the front of this card so I looked for a DSP that would give a Hounds tooth check and gilded autumn had just what I was looking for. I've used very vanilla card stock for the 7" x 4 1/4 card.

I also used Early Espresso card stock for the lapels and shoulder patch, for the polo jumper in very vanilla I made room neck and used Tasteful Texture embossing folder to give it some texture, I have to say I am really pleased with how this turned out.

Happy Birthday with a difference


Hi and welcome to my blog.

For this card I had an idea to use the ice cream cone builder punch for shapes, it turned out to be more like little trees rather than just shapes and it makes for a nice Male card too.
For the background I used Soft Succulent ink pad, Brushed Blooms bundle (retired) in one of my favourite card shapes.

Hi there, thanks for joining me today.

I love this new stamp set from Stampinup Pansy Patch.
I made a Z fold card this time using my A4 size One sheet Wonder page (I will show this later)
After die cutting the pansies in basic white, I used a dauber to add colour to the edges, I embossed the background too.

Book Page cards

Hello,
I recently watched a youtube video using old book pages!

I've torn pages out of a book I'd read but didn't like, so I wasn't feeling too bad about tearing it up to make a card lol!

I gessoed the pages, stuck them to a card front, once dry put some distressed inks here and there on it 

dried it off with my heat tool and decorated it with bits and bobs.




this one has one of my Foamiran flowers on it 


this blue one I used Kaisercraft mists to colour the flowers.

Until next time, happy crafting, stay safe..

80th Birthday Card

Hello,

This is a card I made the afternoon before one of the markets I attend, 
I thought it was quite pretty and was pleased with it.

I had a lady pick it up to buy, she said it was for an 80th birthday!

I suggested I could put the number 80 on it for her in silver, she thought that was a lovely idea!


I love attending the markets and pleasing people with the cards that I make!

I have to smile now, as it was very nerve racking the first couple of times I did it, but once you relax and go with it, it is very satisfying! 

until next time, happy crafting, stay safe..

Baby Boy Card

Hello,

At Sandringham market I was asked to make a baby boy card to go to the Netherlands.

The lady wanted Australian animals on it 


I managed to find some animals, hand painted the backgrounds of the card with Distress Inks,


made branches, leaves. painted a pond for the platypus, even a small Sydney harbour,


the back I thought should look more like a baby card.

Once again another satisfied customer *

until next time, happy crafting, stay safe..
