T-Slide Card

Here is a card I made using a design from the SCS site. It's called a T-slide card and they are really easy and fun to make. This one was made using a Hobby Habit design from the Rock Hard Fairies range and the DP is from my stash.

This is the card when it is open.

This is one of the other ones that I have made. Very much the same.

They are so much fun to make :)

And open again

Vintage Lady

Well it's BAS time again so I'll be spending the day on the computer doing hubby's bookwork....how boring! Once again I've left it to the last minute and I have 3 months of work to do and the BAS was due today...oops :(

In the meantime I just thought I'd quickly post a card that I made and sent to my best friend for her birthday. I am just starting to discover the world of vintage cards and was really happy with the way this one turned out. The cardstock is Bazzill Basics and the paper I used is from Prima Marketing's Pastiche Collection and it's called Butterfly Wings. I inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Tea Dye ink, added a Le Suh 3D, some flowers, ribbon and the border punch is the Martha Stewart DoilyLace Edge punch.

Here is a close up view of the 3D and the flowers.

Happy 80th

Just a quick post today…this is a card that I made for a friend's 80^th birthday. The pattern is from a Hobbyjournaal magazine and the 3D is a Le Suh sheet.

Feeling Blue Two

Last one for tonight. This was my other card for the Feeling Blue swap and I just looooved this card...so much so that I didn't want to give it away LOL.

The stitching around the edge of the cards was all done by hand (I'm hopeless with a sewing machine!!). I'm afraid I can't remember where I got the background papers from but the Fairy Poppet image is a Reddy Die Cut 3D from the shop where I work. Isn't she cute!!

Feeling Blue

On the group that I belong to we did a "feeling blue" swap recently and this was the card that I made for my partner. The background papers are from a Scrapbook Kit that I bought called Rococo Dreams. I thought it looked great behind this image of the two ladies on their bikes. It reminded me of Paris.

Pretty in Pink

This was one of my first attempts at using Copic Markers. I only had a few colours but for a first effort I was quite happy with how it turned out. I made this card for a swap and it was to be a card made using scraps, so I've just used up some of my old papers that were in the drawer.

Nothing is harder

Recently my boss passed away after a year long battle with cancer. I made this sympathy card for her husband and the family. Although it looks black in the photos the second layer is actually silver mirri card.

The front section was scored with my Scor It board, embossed with Swiss Dots on the Cuttlebug and the bottom is a Martha Stewart punch. The message was printed on the computer and a Nestabilities template was used to cut it out.

I added some roses and beaded stamens from my stash and added a bit of Stickles to the roses.

Video Boy Again

Same digi image as before but this one was made for my nephew who turned 17 recently and is also a big game player. Again the background papers are from my stash and the image is coloured with watercolour pencils.

Video Boy

July 10th was my son's 14th birthday and seeing as he's an avid XBox player I thought this digi image would suit him perfectly. It looks just like him and he often sits in his room glued to the XBox with the food and drinks scattered on the floor around him LOL.

The digi is from Mo Manning and I coloured this one with watercolour pencils. The background paper is just one from my stash.
