Sympathy Cards

Three cards using dies and embossing folders though I really do particularly like using the Darice Grass Silhouette folder and the Memory Box resting birds die for sympathy cards.



They are all actually black and white although one does look more cream in the photograph.

Birthday Card using Tattered Lace Floating in the Air Circle Surprise

Also used the Sue Wilson Delicate Daisy.

Have to confess that I'm really not keen on this this card at all. I love the circular die but what are those things supposed to be on the base die? Butterflies? Bees? Rockets? 😕 Decided to cover one up with a flower but that meant it had to be a big flower and it looks rather heavy.

Also, the pearl effect stuff was a bit of a letdown. Perhaps the fact I bought it in nineteen canteen may have something to do with it? And the yellow stamp pad I used is too bright but when I tried to get a lovely mellow yellow from the large craft shop literally 5 minutes from me it turned out that I had more stock than than they did.😶

Oh well, at least the recipient was appreciative.😆😃

Oh and to cap it all I've over cropped the photograph. Lol!!

Mothers Day Card

Using Sue Wilson Buckle Bar, Spellbinders Tag, Fishtail Banners and other odd dies.

Should have been straightforward but the first one went wrong so had to start again and then I somehow ran out of ribbon. Scoured my local area to find a matching piece but no luck. Left it a day to start it again and then found the matching piece of ribbon on the floor! Hallelujah☺☺☺

Hope all you lovely Mums had a wonderful day!

Thank You Eye Chart Card & Birthday Magic Butterfly Card

Thank you card made using this free eye chart maker.

I'd got some new glasses and after having horrendous service at a different opticians a few years back and then having spectacular (sorry, I couldn't help myself) service at this new opticians I wanted to take some biscuits and a card in for the staff to say thank you.




Birthday card is made using Spellbinders Butterfly Magic die. Added some stick pins, ribbon and buttons.


Both kept relatively plain and simple. I'd like to say it's by design but the truth is I was a last minute Lizzie again!

Various cards

Some christmas cards and others.

The photos aren't particularly good as I'm not sure I've been using my little camera correctly as I seem to touch loads of buttons on the thing!

Also, I upgraded to Windows 10 and it all went horribly wrong and I had to reset. Only to find that when I tried to reload my favourite free photo editor Picasa it was no longer available. Booooohoooooo!

Baby Boy

Simple card using embossed card strip, a scallop edge die cut and a pre cut gingham circle.

White on White Birthday Card

Using Sue Wilson Lattice Arched Adornment, Spellbinders Tag and I can't remember the other one. Also Die'sire Happy Birthday.

And now that I've seen the photo I've realised I posted it without finishing it off with it's final adornments. That's what you get for leaving it til last minute. Doh!
