Father's Day Card

Here is the card I made for my dad for Father's Day. It is a very simple card, which I did specifically, because I wanted to focus on the words. The words are from one of the Great Impression stamps I purchased from Paper Addiction in Queensland, when I was up there for my birthday holiday.

Birthday Card - Green, Frogs & 50

This card was made for a work colleague to give to her girlfriend who is turning 50. Her girlfriend likes the colour green and frogs. As such, I've done this green coloured card, with a nice green frog and her age of 50. She was happy with the card and her girlfriend will have a unique 50th birthday card.

Cards made Sat 16 & Sun 17 Aug 08

Spent the weekend making cards. The majority of my cards were using the template I have, as per my previous posts. Majority were done with normal patterned paper, but I did do a few more using the proper Japanese Rice Paper. I also had some serviettes ready to go, so I just constructed some cards using some of those serviettes. I am very happy with my work and extremely please that I am on track for meeting my personal goal of 250 cards for 2008.

Japanese Rice paper Card with Bling

I'm still loving the template I have been using to make cards. Below is another one, but this time I only used one pattern paper, a Japanese Rice paper, which has been stuck to Bazzill "Diamond" Bling and then fixed atop Bazzill "Spoiled Brat" Bling. I think these colours come together really well. I have used the Bazzill to punch out the flowers and fixed them with an orange type colour brad bling. I have then stamped some inspirational words onto shrink plastic and attached that with some white cotton, so that it isn't visible. I plan to give this card to a girlfriend for her birthday. I am really happy with this card.

Paper Tole Cards

Below are the cards I made using Paper Tole. This is my first attempt at Paper Tole & probably my last. I didn't find it particularly relaxing cutting everything out, well the fine parts anyway and my technique could do with improving. That's not to say I hated it, but I don't think it is my calling. I may do more Paper Tole type cards if the detail isn't quite so fine. Anyway, I'm not 100% happy with my Paper Tole effort and by that I mean I doubt I will give these cards to anyone, but keep them within my collection. That said, it being my first attempt, I am happy with them to a degree.

Cards made over the last fortnight

These are the cards that I have made over the last fortnight. Some of them have embellishments on the front & some don't. Those that don't I'm happy with how they are, but before I send them to anyone I will decided whether I want to add something further. The cards were made using a template. I have used 6"x6" paper pads, but I believe the template is a great idea for using up scrap papers. That will be my next project, especially using Xmas papers. I need to start on Xmas cards.

Cards made over the last month

These are the cards I have made in the last month. The paper came from one of the magazines I buy, I think it was a UK one and I thought there was so much I could do. I loved being able to do the same card layout just using different colours. I also enjoyed using my MissyB stamps to go with the underwear paper.
