I realised that although I had mentioned making a wedding card for a colleague, I had not actually put it up here. N was returning to Sri Lanka for a very colourful and vibrant wedding, and I wanted to reflect that in my card design. So here it is – brightly coloured and using one […]
The final farewell was this week, another of our contractors left as we have finally filled the position permanently. Metallic white square card, edged with Aged Mahogany ink. Floral paper trimmed to fit, edged with Antique Linen. Nestabilities Label 17 die used to make floral label and white card label (yay! first time I have […]
So I am on leave this week, sick leave to be exact. I wasn’t allowed to drive yesterday or today after having an operation, and so today I decided to set myself some crafting challenges for the week. First up, using papers and embellishments (mostly papers) that I have scattered all over my work desk […]
Last Saturday I did a Spellbinders workshop at Fantasia at the Bella Vista store. It is the first time I have done a class there, the workshop area is very nice and set out classroom style. I have a die cutting machine (a Big Shot) and while I use it for embossing and some dies […]
My work colleague went on maternity leave, and before she left we went to her baby shower. I did a card for the group present we gave her. I have done a lot of pastel baby cards and I wanted something a bit more vibrant – I also know that S and I share a […]
I’m a little behind with some of my updates. I’ll try to get them up over the next week or so. First up is a birthday card for one of my work colleagues. I liked the background paper and wanted to make it a feature. So I found a stamp that had a similar style […]
These are the cards I made for the girls at work. They wanted traditional, and I decided to go with square cards this year. The method was the same for all the cards. I had some lovely vintage style papers that were too nice to use as layering papers. They were larger than the cardstock […]
This is a card I made for my personal trainer. I wasn’t really sure where to go with colour schemes and designs, mostly she wears black. But I decided to try a more feminine design as I love these paper design. Butterfly filligree chipboard layered on gold paper. Gold paper edged in aged mahogany ink, […]
I have been really busy with work, but also doing a lot of cards. I will put them up over the next few days. This first one was for my manager’s baby shower, Forget-Me-Not Flower Fairy. It is one of a set of Flower Fairy images I have, but the first time I have used […]
This was for our new teammate who had her birthday last week. A quick office poll showed that her favourite colour is coral so I did my best to work with that palette. And she has also just come back from a trip to Europe (for a wedding) so I wanted to tie in with […]
