These are unbranded Polish Papercut dies that I bought from China.
The intention originally was to make a birthday card for my friend who is very proud of her polish heritage but we had some work done on the house and it felt like you couldn't move in any room for weeks on end so any type of crafting was out of the question!
So, this may have been my one and only handmade christmas card for this year, but the recipient really did appreciate it!
I tried to contact you personally but couldn't find a way of doing it.
If you go into a well known online marketplace and search in the die cutting category for China dies, you will see some come up which will lead you to others.
Some people use AlliExpress where it is all based in China.
The quality can be sometimes a bit questionable but for the price, I'm prepared to take the risk.
I really hope you see this and apologies for not replying sooner but I don't get notified when someone leaves a comment.
Thank you though, it was lovely to read.
Made using Sweet Dixie Rocking Horse cutting die.
Die cut twice. One in white and one in pink and layered over each other to give a shadow.
Matt and layered.
Simple matt and layered monogram card for a lovely man.
Monogram is from a set called Landscape Alphabet bought from Etsy.
Free image found on My Sweet Things.
The alphabet and numbers are a download set called Blush & Cream which I bought on Etsy.
Put it all together in using word boxes in Microsoft Word and then matt and layered.
I had seen the words 'King of Dads' used on other cards and I really liked the sentiment and wanted to use it..
Used an app to change a photo into a line drawing. I wanted it to be as simple as possible and still be recognisable and this was as far as I could go without losing too much.
Added a free clipart crown and that was it.
Nice and simple first birthday card for the most perfect great nephew.
From the beginning it was always giraffes although Peppa Pig seems to be of great interest at the moment. Lol.
As they do not live near, obviously haven't seen him hardly at all but thanks to Whatsapp have had lots of photos/videos. Thank goodness for modern technology!
Golden Wedding Anniversary card made for a very dear friend.
Made using non branded dies.
We had bought a Golden Tiara Clematis and obelisk for them so made this plant label. Using a Spellbinders Labels die cut into into copper sheet. I then used metal punches to form the wonky words. Lol.
Passion flower cut using unbranded die. Memory Box Piestra Tile die used to create a cut through trellis effect. Latin name printed onto Spellbinders Shapeabilities Ribbon Banners die.
Can't believe this time last week sat in the dentist chair having a massive root canal filling 😠it was 22 degrees and today sat at home there was snow on the ground this morning. Crazy!
Hope everyone is safe and well!
Made for a lovely lady who recently lost her beloved husband and both were of a strong religious faith.
I do not have any crucifix dies so made this one by prick & stitch. Matted onto the Sue Wilson Australian background which was matted onto a very pale cream card.
A Spellbinders tag was rubber stamped with the sentiment.
Made using Sue Wilson's Austrian background die set.
Matted onto a patterned paper from a set I bought from The Range.
Sentiment printed from computer.
I paid for these images for I'm going to use them! Lol!
Very simple card but classy.
The base card came from a pack of blanks that already had three embossed squares/apertures already down the right hand side so I just resized the images to fit those. Matted onto some lilac card to give some definition and although I was tempted to add 'stuff' down the left hand side I resisted and left it as was.
Card base from the stash I bought from the charity shop several years ago.
Really love the decorated monograms but was sick of pink so actually had to spend out some money this time to buy this set!
The D does look a little on the huh in the photo but I don't think it was in reality. I blame my mobile phone camera skills. Lol!
Just perfect for the young man concerned. Even managed to match the text so that I could insert his name to match exactly.
I love it when a plan comes together!
I have been spending what seems like days lately trying to connect an old Epson Stylus Photo R300 printer to a very old Windows 7 laptop all in order that I may use one very old card programme that I absolutely loved using and is not valid with Windows 10 and also so that I can print on 300gsm card as modern printers just can't handle it.
For some reason, this particular combination is not a good one and I have asked Google and done everything suggested and was just about to launch the thing when my cat sensing my distress came and did this as if to say, "give it up!"
We knew one of our neighbours had been suffering from a bad back when lo and behold, first thing christmas morning an ambulance turns up.
Unfortunately, she had to be taken into hospital to get the pain under control and not being sure what the outcome was and with the current situation, I made a card using an image so that I could just push it through the letterbox with an offer of dog walking, shopping or anything else whilst her husband would be at work.
Inserted the text and matted onto green green card.
Simple and super quick!
