this just had to be made

I bought this decoupage kit from Mad About Cards and it was so cute, it was just crying out to be done.

I used my Swiss Dots embossing folder and then simply mounted the completed decoupage on top.

The greeting etc will be added when the card is needed.

Wedding Anniversary card

For Mum & Dad's anniversary this year, I decided to do something completely different. I printed the background direct to card, then did the FlowerSoft topper using different colours. This stuff is so versatile.

I added a greeting and a tassel (from Craft Creations) and there it was complete - now I've got to do another one for a friend's 50th!

Get Well

I needed a card quickly so it could be delivered to someone who had had emergency surgery. So I used my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder, combined it with a K&Co embossed sticker, a peel-off and there it was.

The recipient was absolutely delighted with it.

Father's Day

Father's Day is fast approaching, so I decided that I'd better get around to making my card!

This was done using a sheet of A4 hammer card, on which I printed the Westie daffodil images. This was done borderless so as to completely cover the card. I then made of the pyramage decoupage (which is really easy to do) and mounted it to the front of the card using spray mount adhesive.

I was going to add a tassel to the side of the card, but after punching and setting the eyelet, discovered that the cord wouldn't go through, so I tied a length of Kreinik metallic braid into a loose bow to finish the card off.
