Engagement card


I have made a 8x8in easel card. On this occasion I have made the top smaller than usual to use the tonic header die on the fold. I have matt and layered the top and the bottom with pink and white embossed card. I embossed the white card with a Creative Expressions folder. I die cut the hearts on the top with Spellbinders dies. I have die cut the scalloped hearts on the bottom with Sizzix dies from a nesting set. I attached the pink heart to the bottom of the card with foam pads so the heart will act as he stopper for the easel. I die cut the flourish and couple with Cheery Lyn dies. When I have been told what sentiment is wanted on the card I will add it to the white hearts. I added flat backed pearls to the pink scalloped heart.

Baby girl card




A quick and easy baby girl card because my son forgot to ask me to make one.

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with pink card and white embossed card. I embossed the white card with a Tattered Lace embossing folder. I rounded the corners with a punch before attaching the layers to my card. I die cut the trellis using a Cheery Lynn die in pink and tan card and slightly offset them when attaching them to my card. I die cut the white oval with a Presscut die from a nesting set then added the sentiment that I cut with a Tonic die. I also cut the sentiment in pink and tan card.

Friend Birthday Card


I have used a Sue Wilson weaving die to cut the elements for the embellishment on the top of my. I have used silver mirror card, purple and lilac. I matt and layered the top and bottom of my easel card with purple, lilac and white embossed card. I embossed the white card with a Tattered Lace embossing folder. I die cut a rectangle frame using dies from a Tonic nesting set to house the weaving design. I attached the weaving to the top of my card with some flowers and a personalised sentiment that I printed then die cut with a Sue Wilson banner set.

I printed another sentiment and die cut it with a die from a Spellbinders nesting set and cut the next two sizes in the set in purple and lilac and attached them to my card with foam pads for them to act as the stopper for the easel top of my card.

Wedding Invitation


Finally, I have felt like crafting again. We have been through tough times the past couple of months and even crafting was too much for me. Here is one of the wedding invitation samples I have made.

I printed Wedding Invitation onto parchment paper, then using that and tan card I matt and layered a 6x6in cream card. I die cut the heart using a Tattered Lace die and then added some organza ribbon.
