Christmas cards

Here is a selection of Christmas cards we made this year

First creation I made with Christopher that we sent to Scotland: 

Popped the presents up on 3D pads

6 others work in progress:

6 others finished:

Christopher had so much fun making these.  We also made snowman cards:

Then I made a few simple photo cards, these were the designs: 

The photos were the most important part of these cards, I kept them simple and made them so the photos can be removed.

This was a last minute card made very late on christmas eve to put a gift voucher in after we lost the card it was supposed to go in. Lol.

Mothers Day Cards

Here are the 2 mothers day cards that I made: 

One for my mother in law: 

Papermania card blank, K&Co paper, image was made up of country house stamps that came free with Papercraft Inspirations a while back, I set them into a scene and then coloured them with Promarkers. 

I added a piece of pergamano paper to dull the colours to go with the K&Co paper. 

Flowers and buttons from my stash.

Then I made this one for my mum to go with her photo frame, not taken in the best light

Paper is another one by K&Co again from their 360 page stack, stamped image is from Kanban coloured with promarkers. Lace and ribbon I got from the fabric shop just for this card. 

Not too sure about adding a sentiment to this one, I don't know whether it would look too much.

Updated here are some better pictures in daylight: 

My boyfriends birthday cards

Here are the 2 cards that I made him for his birthday:

Very very similar to the one I made for his brother but I stamped the elephant in black memento ink and cut off the grass at the bottom. I think I prefer it without the grass too.

Then this card I made from our son Christopher:

Not much explanation needed here really, I used my Slice to cut out some of his artwork and his photo and used some textured cardstock by Core'dinations, generic silver ribbon from my stash, silver brads by American Crafts, the silver daddy is from Hobbycraft, I bought in the one of their sales last year. 

Happy Crafting

Another thank you card

This one using my free papers out of the latest edition of Quick Cards

The kite I cut out 4 using my Slice in 4 different colours and then put them together like this. I cut off the tail that was there and replaced it with the string. 

I'm really pleased with how this turned out.

A look back at the start of my card making adventures.

I have been thinking about when i first started card making and was wondering what was the 1st card i ever made. I think it was this one for my sister:

Shortly after i made these 2 anniversary cards:

I think my card making skills have come on leaps and bounds since then
