White Wedding

8" x 8" square card I made for my friend's wedding.  I love the embossing folder I used, I only received it on Saturday and I knew I would definitely use it for Lisa's card.  I just hope she likes it!

Box it up

Gift box made with lemon pearlescent card.  I used the Ultimate Pro boxmaker to construct my box.  I love the boxmaker, it's such a handy tool.  No more having to cut slivers off your base, the tool does all the hard work for you!  I embellished the box using a white organza flower that I bought off QVC years ago (I can't remember the brand unfortunately) and white/silver organza ribbon from Create and Craft.

When life gives you lemons...

I made this bracelet for a colleague's 50th birthday.  925 sterling silver with lemon quartz rondelles and white freshwater cultured pearls.  I used monofilament with the lemon quartz, as the drillholes are quite small, and I used calottes/clamshells at the ends with a dab of jewellery glue on the knot to secure it.  She was very surprised and absolutely delighted with it!

Life's A Beach



50th birthday card I made for my colleague.  She is going on holiday to Spain to celebrate her half century, so I decided to go with a beach themed card.  I embellished the card with a cream organza ribbon, which I though tied in with the sand colour on the card.  What card would be complete without a ribbon or bow??  I used Hunkydory card, toppers and gold mirror card.  Thankfully, she loved her card and the present I made her (photo to follow).

Bundle Of Joy

 

A4 card for a colleague who is going on maternity leave.  The gender of the baby is a surprise and I was asked to make the card in ivory/cream and gold.  I just got the baby text and safety pin die from Marianne Creatables and I absolutely love it, I think I'll be using that one a lot! I embellished the card with a cream organza bow and cream pearls - I do like ribbons and gems!

 

Items used to make this card:-

 

Kanban 'Birth and Celebrations' topper

Spellbinders 'Timeless Rectangles' die

Marianne Creatables 'Baby Pram Stroller' die

Marianne Creatables 'Baby Text and Safety Pin' die

Ivory Centura Pearl Card

Hunkydory gold mirror card

And now for something completely different...

 

Not my usual style, but I was commissioned to make a 60th birthday card using vibrant colours and tartan ribbon - a bit of a challenge as all of my vibrant toppers and card clashed with tartan ribbon!  I found a pink and green tartan ribbon in a local craft shop, so I used that to build my colour scheme.  I decided that since I couldn't find a suitable topper to match the ribbon I would use a stamp instead.  I used a Creative Expressions embossing folder on the pink background card then matted and layered with green pearlescent and pink mirri card.  I used a Kanban stamp and blended the background with a pink versamark ink pad - this was my first attempt at blending.  I embellished the card with pink and green gems, and made a triple bow with the ribbon.  It's not what I would normally make, but hopefully I have fulfilled the brief!
