Silver Wedding

Over the summer, it was my sister and brother-in-law's silver wedding anniversary! I made them this boxed card using Kanban Love and Marriage toppers.

Purple is my sister's colour (I know - I had to wear the bridesmaid's dress!) so most of the cards I make for her are purple. The base of the card is made using one of the Crafter's Companion A3 double sided card packs - can't remember what the name of the pack is though.

I used the Kanban topper (perfect colour), and cut circles of purple, lilac, white and silver card using my Spellbinders Grand Decorative Circles 1. All finished off with a big bow!

I also made a matching box!! 

That's all for now. Back soon(ish).

Home Sweet Home!

This new home card was made using a topper from Kanban Well Wishes and Celebrations. 

I also used the gorgeous Moving Frame from Yvonne Creations Moving Madness collection of dies. The frame was cut in matt silver, cream, brown, pink and green, and then I fussy cut out the pieces to build up the picture.

All of this was mounted onto a piece of double sided card from Crafter's Companion, mounted onto matt silver card. 

As the message was on the topper, I didn't need the little banner at the top of the frame, so added a bow to fill it up.

Special Anniversary

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law celebrated 30 years of marriage this year. I made this 8x8 card for them, using heart toppers and a sentiment from an old Kanban kit.

The background is made from Centura Pearl and Crafter's Companion A3 Double Sided Decadence Card. I used Crafter's Companion Downton Abbey - Downton Decor die, with lace and ribbon to decorate.

Take care,

A new little baby!

My husband's nephew and his girlfriend have recently become parents - and it was the first in a new generation on that side of the family - first baby, first grandchild, first great-grandchild. So, that called for a few special cards.

Many year ago I bought a huge collection of Kanban toppers and papers based around various celebrations - including births. So I used a combination of papers, toppers and Centura Pearl card to create three cards.

The first card was and 8x8 card for the parents. I used Spellbinders Grand Decorative circle dies, and Crafter's Companion Create a Card Base Die - Stacey - to create the tags. 

The second was a 7x7 for the grandparents, using Crafter's Companion Essential Only Words Dies. 

And the third was for the great grandparents. This was an A5 card, with Crafter's Companion Essentials Only Words dies.

Take care,

Pick and Mix Edge'ables

Morning! Fiona is on at 8am with a great pick and mix of the wonderful Die'sire Edge'ables. This is one of my makes with the Bird Cage Edge'able die. 

I used the A3 Centura Pearl for the base of the card, and then added all three card types from the Ice Blue Luxury Card Pack. The sentiment is Die'sire Classiques Only Words - Special Day. The little details of the cut out flowers and corners are created using the smaller emebellshment dies that come with the Bird Cage Edge'able.

Fiona will also be back at 2pm and 6pm - so be sure to tune in to bag a bargain.

Floral Lace Heart

Hello! Today I have a straightforward easel card, made using Crafter's Companion Die'sire Everyday Create a Card - Floral Lace Heart!

The base is made from Crafter's Companion White Linen card, and the matts and layers are the glitter and matt mirror card from the Silver Luxury Card pack. The red is from Papermill.

I used the Congratulations sentiment Create a Card die for the easel stopper, and decorate with pearls and a ribbon bow.

With Valentine's day coming up, this could easily be adapted to make a great Valentine's card!
