Cameron's Birthday Card

It's my husband's birthday tomorrow (21st May). Here's the card I have made for him using Aud's circle/dot stamp; Lucy's dragon stamp; words by Stamp-It. Inside the card I've used Aud's stamp again and a Hero Arts sentiment stamp. I think he will like this card - he's into Dungeons and Dragons and sci-fi/fantasy books!

Photo Booklet

This is the photo booklet I started a few weeks back in a class. I gave it to my Mum yesterday and she loved it! There are photos of my Nanna, Mum, me and my daughter Caitlin.

I even managed to put some of Aud's lovely sentiment stamps in the booklet. They arrived just before I finished making it!

Mother's Day

Here's some Mother's Day cards that I've made this year. I made 5 cards with this design for mothers and grandmothers in our family. The idea came from the Stampendous website (www.stampendous.com) in the projects section. I didn't have any of their stamps so I have used similar stamps to them.

Wedding Card

I made this card last night for my sister-in-law's wedding this weekend. I've still got to put a verse or something inside the card yet. All stamps are by Hero Arts. Burgundy Versa Color ink has been used for the hearts and clear embossed. The "love border" stamp has been stamped with versa mark ink and embossed with fine black embossing powder.

Other news I've been madly cutting out Aud's stamps that I received in the mail the other day. I've even managed to use some of Aud's sentiments stamps in a mini-booklet I've made for my Mum. Just got to download the photos of the booklet and I will upload to the blog!

Dry Embossed Card

A card that I made in a class the other day using a corner stencil for dry embossing. Chalks added to lift the embossing effect. A picture has been added with magic mount and also chalked over. A l little bit of the embossed areas have been cut out to show the base card through the design.

Thank You

Here's a card I did for my cousin. It was a very quick and easy card to make. Background stamp is from Lucy's Stamps - have used shadow ink. Flower and Thank You tag are from Hero Arts.
I'm trying to get some time to finish off some cards. I'm madly working on mother's day cards, a birthday card for Cam's Mum, and a wedding card for his sister - everything needs to be finished by Wednesday before we go tripping off to the wedding in Canberra! Expect some posts soon with new cards - hopefully I will be able to fit time in to scan them onto the computer.

Star Card

Cam's Nanna was 90 not long ago. This is the card I made for her birthday. Lots of my stamping friends let me use their stamps so that I could have a variety of sayings and images for this card. For the front cover I printed out a photo on normal paper and then put some acetate over the top. Made the frame out of thick cardboard - covered it in gold ink and then put on Utee embossing powder. Did a few layers. The last layer I put gold embossing powder on it and then while it was hot stamped a Hero Arts flower design around into the frame. All other stamping within the star card has been with a gold ink pad and gold embossing powder.
