Couple of cards I made using images and papers that came with Making Cards Magazine. I made four, all kinda similar and then personalised two so I could use them for friends this month 🙂 So just matting, layering and layouts 🙂 I popped a 21 on this after as it was his 21st! MyContinue reading “Mag Dog”

Pub Quiz
This is a 21st birthday card commission, for a great crafty friend who wanted something pub themed for her son who has landed a great job with one of the pub chains. It was pretty hard to take a picture of, it’s both very large and a Z -fold. But if you layout in thisContinue reading “Pub Quiz”
Mr Slater’s Parrot
Good Dr.Digi Friyay to you! I am feeling pretty up-to-date right now, this is actually a new release! This is Mr. Slater’s Parrot (digistamp) from Dr.Digi’s House of Stamps! Why is it called that? Cos Dr.Digi loves an obscure music reference! lol. Don’t tell him I said that 😉 I had fun with this image,Continue reading “Mr Slater’s Parrot”
E.E. Smith
A very specific card, as requested by my friend, for her to give to her Dad. He is a big fan of science fiction novels and an author himself. His favourite author is E.E. Smith so I made a background by compiling the images from covers and then printed a small passage from one ofContinue reading “E.E. Smith”
Football
I think if you make cards for other people it is inevitable you will have to make the odd football themed card. I am not keen. I usually find a football layout that isn’t too hard to make and then convert that to the relevant team. So this is my current football model that IContinue reading “Football”
Vintage Dog Walking
Had a black and white vintage dog walking idea! I love using vintage images for things, and it pushes me to try a different style to my usual makes! This is a card for a man who walks French Bulldogs. This is the front – Black and white background patterns are free papers from MakingContinue reading “Vintage Dog Walking”
You Gnome Me
This is a bit of a blast from the past, been a long time since I made this but I did really like the end result so posting this one for my reference, if nothing else! This is made using the MFT stamp set, You Gnome Me. I needed a gardening themed birthday card forContinue reading “You Gnome Me”
Fire! Fire!
Did you sing “Pour on Water” after reading the title? Ok, maybe just me, lol. Quick Fireman themed card using vintage illustrations mainly from a ladybird book. Also wanted to try a circle layout, seemed to add some interest, which kind of help men’s cards sometimes. Using up some of my brad stash again, IContinue reading “Fire! Fire!”
Dyb Dyb Dyb
Another quick post because this card was very simple, but I think it worked out well. I make a fair few scout related cards so was happy with a new idea of using the old “dyb, dyb, dyb” cliché. It would have actually been pretty speedy to make using the electronic cutter, but for someContinue reading “Dyb Dyb Dyb”
Fortnite
Thought I would do a speedy post today and share something that might be useful! Fortnite themed card for a teenager. Cos we can’t always make the themes we prefer to make! 🙂 It was a personal use card, I found some free downloadable elements and constructed a picture using them. I decoupaged the mainContinue reading “Fortnite”
