Naughty naughty naughty.....

So once again its been a while since i have posted on here as iv been so busy with work and have been ill aswell, so here are 3 cards i have made recently. The first is an order i had from a work collegue for an anniversary card for her mum and partner so i decided to go for a black and white colour scheme which i think always looks elegant.





To make the card i used a pre made A6 card and then took a plain piece of black card which i embossed with a fiskars embossing plate, i also took a piece of pattered paper from doodlebug designs which i attached to the black card and attached some black ribbon around. I then used my cricut to cut a white circle and a black scalloped circle. I stamped happy anniversary onto the circle with some magnetic stamps i was given from a family member and attached it onto of the ribbon. Lastly i added 4 pearls to the ribbon just to give it that little bit extra. My work collegue loved it just hope her mum does too!








The next card is my first christmas card of the year, havent tallied up exactly how many i need yet but i plan to make one every couple of days so will hopefully have them all done in pleanty of time.



For this card i once again used a pre made A6 card which i layered on a piece of gold mirri card, and two patterned papers from the papermania A Silent Night paper pack, and then a border strip from the same collection. I Stamped a snowman which was from from Anita's and used promarkers to colour the image i then added some stickles and mounted it onto some more gold mirri card.



I then addedd one of the card tags in the top left corner where i made a boo boo and walla it was complete!


This last one is a wedding card i made for Phils cousin whos wedding we went to last Saturday the card was made out of white hammered card stack to which i added a piece of paper with white roses on, i then addedd a feather butterfly to it. Next i stamped congratulations on a piece of card and added it to the front of the card underneath a cream ribbon.

I then made a box for the card out of the same hammered card stock using the ultimate companion, i cut an appature out of the lid and added some acetate so the happy couple would be able to see the card through the box. I didnt like how the box looked with the rough edges so addedd some ribbon which already had the adhesive on it to the edges of the acetate and placed a white rose on each corner to hide the joins.


Phils parents were really impressed with the card i just hope the happy couple liked it.
Thanks for stopping by.
