Fathers Day Card

I had envisioned this card in my head for Fathers Day with the goose and his goslings but the reality didn't live up to my expectations. Lol.

I used Crealies Nestlies XXL No 77 dies and had imagined more layers, more depth, more colour.............just more!!!!!!   I also hadn't taken into account the size of the stamps.

In hindsight, I wish I'd cropped the images a lot more but as usual, I'd left it too close to the deadline to start faffing about.  This ended up an 8" x 8" card which left a lot of white space.

I also used an old copper Krylon leafing pen which packed up almost as soon as I started using it and just looks mucky.  Noooooooooooooooo..................................!

It's the thought that counts!  😒🤪

Wedding Card

Wedding card made using plain ivory card.

Centre aperture is from Sue Wilson Italian Collection - Umbria.  The very centre with the ribbon woven through is from  Sue Wilson Madeleine.    Corner dies are from Crafters Companion.  Stamp is from Lily of the Valley.

The original plan was to include some yellow/lemon on the card as that is their main colour theme but it hasn't worked out that way and I didn't was to use yellow mulberry flowers just for the sake of it.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs D! xx

Memory Box Piestra Tile

Another tall, slim card made for a birthday using Memory Box Piestra Tile die. 

Backed with turquoise pearlescent card and threaded down both sides of the middle with turquoise organza 3mm ribbon.

Flowers were made from Sue Wilson's Camellia dies, coloured and glazed. The tag is from the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Fancy Framed Tags Two set.

 Have had this die for ages but this is the first time I have used it.  My mother in law loved the last tall slim card (Sue Wilson Lattice Striplet) I made for Mothers Day so much that I thought I would try with this one.

Hope she likes it!

3d Cabinet Card

Sue Wilson Australian Background Die Celebrate Card

A very pretty card for a very pretty lady's birthday!

Made using Sue Wilson Australian background die, Sue Wilson Peony dies, unbranded tag dies from China and a handmade hat pin with ribbon.

Multi Layer Arched Box Frame Card

Now I know that  I have folded the front edge on the left hand side over on the front and it should've been behind (you should've heard the cursing!) but after using DST there is no going back!

The other thing  is is that the middle pieces fit into a side piece through slots.  I don't know if I have done it wrong but it was only after I was taking a photo that I noticed that the middle pieces  don't fit low enough so where you should be able to see straight through the cut outs on the side, you can't on mine because it's all higgledy piggledy.

All in all, with the inking of the inner edges that went a bit awry, it's a bit of a dogs dinner!  I did put a note on to my friend apologising as she always sends me beautiful handmade cards.  Lol.

The cabinet die is from China (perhaps that explains it).  The die on the top is Sue Wilson  Daisy Cluster.   The foliage die is the Sue Wilson Blossoming Branch die and the flowers were made from  good old fashioned punches.  The  Happy Birthday is a Sue Wilson Mini Expressions die.
