Celebratory card for someone expecting twins





This is a card for someone who's having twins. It's all Cricut. Found the images on Stretch Your Imagination cartrigde. I wanted to so something special for the packing, so I made a gift box - got that image from my new Lyrical Letters cartridge, which I just got last week.





Wedding Day Card

A young couple I know are getting married soon - the day after my anniversary, actually! Their colour scheme is blue and orange, so I decided I would make this card using their scheme. They also used a tiger lily as their theme on their invitations, which I helped them make, so I made a tiger lily blossom from scratch - from a template I created freehand - and decorated with lots of Stickles. The background papers are called Marrakesh Vines by Bo Bunny and WorldWin translucent vellum in papaya, both of which I got at scrapbook.com.


For you, Mom



I used some flowers from Prima Marketing to add to this one. Cut the word "mom' using the Cricut and then embellished with pigment powder. Cuttlebug butterfly always comes in handy. Love the colour.

Mother's Day Card for a stepmom


Another friend asked me to make something for her stepmom for Mothers Day so here's what came up with

Mother's day is for Grannys too



I love shimmery stuff - I used an iridescent pigment powder to emboss the background. I cut my embellishments with the Cricut and embossed them too - with the Stampin Up heat and stick, and with the shimmery pigment powder. A Cuttlebug butterfly added a little flair. I put it into a gift box that I made using my Crafter's Companion - a Sticker King sentiment and it was good to go. Hope my friend's Granny likes it.



Mother's Day is almost here!








Here are a couple of Mother's Day cards I put together this week. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss and znestabilities to cut teh shapes for the sentiments. I also used my trusty Hero Arts stamp for the background for the first one - a little butterfly punch I had forgotten about - and lots of Stickles! I love Stickles!

Wedding card in blue

Yet another wedding card - This time I tried a bit of heat embossing. Stampin Up has this great heat and stick powder that I used with Pearl Ex pigments to great the sentiment on the front of the card. Then I embellised with a paper flower from Paper Source.

Got to buy all my supplies online - not a single decent craft store to be found in Barbados!
It's get's expensive - and challenging when you don't have a local Michael's to run out to to replenish you supplies!



Here's the inside of the card - I use all my scraps to make the insides pretty as well.

Marriage advice for the bride - quite a project!








These next photos are from a booklet I made for a friend's niece who's getting married soon. I told you it was wedding season in Barbados!
I started out making a card, but I had so much stuff I wanted to use, that I ended up making a booklet. I ended up using something from pretty much all my stuff - Cuttlebug, Cricut, rubber stamps stickers by Jolees - tons of stuff. I took me a few days to do, but I loved it!
And most importantly, they did too!

Here are two pages combining stickers, and image from Clipart and rubberstamping.















Love these pages - I thought those sentiments were so funny!














Another wedding card




Here's another one I made for a freind for his wedding. I used a stamp from Inkadinkado - love my gold ink ! - along with the background I created from my Hero Arts stamp. The dough calla lily was left over from my own wedding stuff a year ago.


Wedding Card


It's wedding season and I've been getting some requests for cards from friends. I made this one using my Cuttlebug for the background and then added some dimensional stickers from meri meri. I liked it so much, I'm having a hard time letting it go.

Hello


Hi. My first post! I've been looking at all those lovely blogs by really talented people who make great handmade cards - and I wanted to share some of my work too! I'm pretty new to this, so have a look and tell me what you think.

Here's a card I made for the in-laws for their anniversary. I used the Cricut to cut the flower and leaves and inked the edges with gold ink. I stamped the background using the same gold ink - The stamp is from Hear Arts. A bit of shimmery ribbon and I was done!
