A friend was really ill and she really like fairies so i made a fairy card to lift her spirits a bit.

Liverpool birthday card

I was asked to make a liverpool card for my brother-in-law so thats what i did!

Girl! (closed & Open)





This is a folded atc with a difference. Instead of the whole atc being folded like a card fold there are smaller folds that are a bit like shutters.


So, there is script staamping on the backing on top of a multi coloured brayered. There is then an image that works with the colours and a gem. Then the folded element is added to create the folded atc.

Theme - Use 3 different rubber stamps



The technique for this swap was to use 3 different rubber stamps. Some people have lots if rubber stamps that sit and never get used, because they think the design is nice or the see the image stamped somewhere and fall in love with it, but when it comes to them stamping they don't have the confidence. So, this swap was designed to get people more familiar with stamping and prove to themselves they can do and can get those gorgous stamps out of hiding. I wrote a "How to do it" news letter which gave a guide of what to do and the common problems people have and how they can be avoided

Necklace and Bracelet Set




A Necklace and Bracelet set i made for a friends birthday. She had commented that she didn't have much jewllery so i thought it would be nice to give her jewllery and i thought she would appreciate it that bit more if i made something that i knew she would like.

This was one of the very few christmas cards i made. I really didn't feel well enough to be making cards so only a select few people got one that i had made.

Mums Birthday Card



Unable to get a card from a shop and not feeling my best as still trying to recover from pneumonia i did what i could manage to make my Mum her birthday card. I wouldn't have been happy buying a card but i didn't want to make a card i felt was just not acceptable for public viewing. However i was quite happy with this card and less is definately more for some cards and this is one of them
