Some cards from the collection

Here are some cards from the last few weeks that I've made. They have now all been stamped and packaged up ready for selling. I hope people buy them!

 These cards below are some sample ones I received from a company called Kanban whose products we are going to stock. They are really cute tunnel cards that can be made just how you want them. They are 3D but they fold up flat to go in an envelope - fun and easy to make a quite cheap to buy!

 This card is another Kanban sample card and it measures 8" by 8". It's a lot larger than standard cards so not so easy to go in the post but the results are stunning and if you were not feeling well you would love to receive a card like this one!

This card uses Hunkydory products featuring cats and dogs. Here are 2 of the cat ones I made but I have so much there are going to be lots more on the way.

 I am experimenting with numbers as words cards as well - where the numbers are spelt and decorated. I'm not too sure about this one but I have done a few others which are nicer which will be following soon.

I also now have my own email address and business cards so I feel all important. Now all I need are the keys ......

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!

My very busy craft weekend - the outcome

So, it has been quite a busy weekend for crafting and I thought I would share the outcome with you. Most are Christmas cards, but there are a few other desins in there as well. I also completed a cross stitch card for a friend's birthday. So I can't put it on here yet in case she is reading, but I will do in a few weeks.

This card is made using vinyl butterfly stickers with a hint of glitter built into them. The top half is covered with vellum and the bottom just a plain card.

B2

I like the japanese themed toppers you can buy because the detailing is son intricate. You need good eyes to see the detail in the middle picture but I think they look stunning

B3

This one and the next one are perfect for Autumn. They feature owls and Autumn themed backgrounds. They are plain so can be used as a card for any occasion.

This one is a simple Christmas card with a tag shaped greeting on the right hand side saying 'Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year'. I really like the red ribbon in this card as it has silver tinsel built into it giving it an even more festive feel.

B7

These two cards are simple and elegant. The first one has the words 'Seasons Greetings' in the middle which is raised slightly from the rest of the card. The second card features a Christmas message and are perfect for everyone.

B8

I really like this card and am pleased with the gold borders. The picture in the middle is made using decoupaage and some of the fruits, flowers and the bow have glitter on them.

B9

This is another shaker card that was featured in an earlier post. It has loose glitter in the middle to go with the words 'Let it snow'. There is also subtle glitter on the red background paper too.

B10

This is a 3 fold card and opens in the middle. There is a decoupaged image on the front with glitter on the flowers and the flame of each candle. Again there is a gold border around the centre image and a small greeting on the right hand side.

B11

This is a simple decoupage design with gold glitter on the baubles and the stars.

B12

This card has 4 green and silver tree designs down a silver strip of card in the middle. There are small green glitter dots bordering the silver strip and the words 'Merry Christmas' down the side along with a holly border.

As you can see I have been very busy and it feels like Christmas is just around the corner. If you like anything then please let me know.
