Weekend card craft part 1

Here are some of the cards I have made this weekend:

 

Lots of different ones, including some easter designs-I know it feels like it's ages away I need to think about it early. Also made some mothers day cards but pictures will follow later.

Daisy and Dandelion

I love sales and in the latest one - the one they call the January sale but it actually starts in December, I bought myself a CD Rom of Daisy and Dandelion. For all those crafters out there they will already know that this is a popular brand of card making supplies and the CD allows you to print out your own characters, background papers borders and greetings.

I have only just scratched the surface with these cards as there are endless possibilities to what cna be done with the disc. Here is what I have done so far:

There is still loads more to go so watch this space!

Crafters Companion 3 bird stamps

I received these stamps as a Christmas present and suddenly had a burst of inspiration earlier on what to do with them. They are only small stamps so make quite minimalist cards but I think they look stunning:

I don't think the pictures do them justice really as they look better in real life. I really love the last one as it looks so sophisticated. It's finished with glitter that doesn't show up in the photo.


Back to the drawing board for tomorrow.

New Year's Cards

So, it's now 2011 and I have great plans for my cards this year. I started thinking a few weeks ago that it would be pointless me making more cards because my outlets for selling them had diminished somewhat. However a clever idea by the other half has now set us looking at potential shops for us to set up in. One half will be his for his business and the other half will be mine to sell my cards and other handmade goods in.


So I now need to get making to make sure there are enough cards for me to sell when we do finally figure out where we are going to end up. Here are a few I made yesterday that will add to the collection:

I really love this farmyard animal stamps as they make really great cards. They can be coloured to suit any tastes and are fun, happy cards.

This is a re make of one I made a couple of years ago. I still had the die cutters so I thought I would bring it out again and have a go. Again it makes a fun card that will be suitable for both adults and children.

The playing card card (!!) is a favourite of mine and can be used for all occasions and for anyone.

I'm not quite sure about the colours on this card but it features some lengths of thread down the side adding a quirky touch to it.

This one is my favourite and I hope it will be popular. The background is a piece of blue gingham material I had from a past project and the glitter butterfly works really well in the centre.


I hope you like them and I still have a lot more to make.
