Mother's Day is nearly here

At last I have managed to make my mum's card for Mother's Day.  I used Pinkpetticoat sentiments and papers with a little bit of sewing and two ribbon roses I found in my bits and bobs box.  I needed a third rose so made a small rose bud from a scrap of cream ribbon, quite pleased with the result.

It has been a good day I also managed a birthday card or two.  I am into inchies and stamping at the moment, this card ticks all the boxes with the circles one inch wide and stamping details, the recipient is into fishing and diving so I thought the fish would work well.

The photos are still not as good as I would like, probably due to the fact I have no lights to illuminate my light box and the camera is not the best, but I will keep trying!!

March monthly post

Well it seems I am managing to post something on the blog at least once a month, usually when I have requests for cards!

This month we have Baby Cards, anyone wanting personalised baby cards take a look at what I have to offer and get in touch all cards can be personalised inside and out and different styles and artwork mixed to make the card you want.  I have used some lovely baby related artwork by Eline Pellinkhof, Pink Petticoat images and papers and some of my own artwork.

I should be making Mother's Day cards but as yet have not started, it will be a mad rush next week to get some work done.  I have been rubber stamping (my birthday cards for the year) trying out "inchies" inspired by an article in Craft Stamper magazine,  must say I am very pleased with the results, very clean modern designs mostly for men using some old stamps.  I have some nice ladies cards using Pink Petticoat papers and sentiments, and some butterfly stamped cards with 3D flowers or butterflies.

Well I am off now to try photograph some cards, I have made a light box with some thick card that came with something I ordered, the box should be brilliant but I only have one light to illuminate it, lets see how I get on!!.

Wedding Invitation a few examples

What a beautiful crisp bright February day.

Well another month has flown by, I have been busy with wedding invitations and birthday cards and hope to get on top of some cataloging and photographing my cards.

As some of you are interested in my wedding stationery I thought I would post a few samples on the blog.  It is impossible to send samples of all styles out to you but I hope the following pics will give you an idea of what styles are available, and don't forget I do a bespoke service so all styles can be adapted to your chosen theme and colour.

First a selection of cards with a Masquerade theme

Now something for a Spring Wedding

Will post some more designs over the weekend  so please call back and have a look!
