Card Swap June

The Theme for the June Card Swap  was Mr & Mrs. This is the card I designed

I just love the simplicity of it, isn't it beautiful? 

I appear to have forgotten to take a photo of the inside, which reads, 'good thing you get to bring your best friend along'. How lovely is that

This is the card I received from Nicole Neubert, I absolutely love it, it's so vibrant and colourful.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Card Swap May

The theme for last month was Christening. I really struggled with this one as I don't have any stamp sets that say Christening, so I cheated and printed my sentiment.

This is the card I made

I used the Flourish Thinlet Dies to make the cross. I adhered the cross on a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I'd embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.

This is the card I received from Laurie Jennings, it is absolutely beautiful. I do love the cable knit embossing folder it has so much texture.

Wedding Card

The lovely Jane Aitken of Holistic Harmony in Chorley (here is her website http://www.harmony-holistictherapist.co.uk/, if you need a massage or reiki or reflexology I can highly recommend her) asked me if I could make her a wedding card. She wanted a white and gold card and sent me this photograph of a card she liked made by Nancy Gleeson.

 As it was made with all Stampin' Up! products that I had, I was able to make this card.

I was really pleased how it turned out and I love that it was personalised on the front.

The heart was die cut from the Bloomin' Love thinlet dies, isn't the detail just amazing?

For the inside of the card I used the sentiment 'wishing you both a very special day' from the now retired For the New Two Stamp Set.

I am pleased to report that Jane loved the card, just hope the recipients did too and that they had a fabulous wedding.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

March Card Swap

Our card swap theme for March was Girl birthday using punch art.

I found the inspiration for this card on Pinterest, many thanks to Studio Evans for the fabulous graphics on how to make the ballerina.

I used three different punches; The sweetheart punch for the bodice and tutu, The pansy punch for the tulle underskirt and the elegant butterfly punch for the ballet shoes, don't they look exactly like ballet shoes, what a genius idea.

For the inside I used the same DSP (Designer Series Paper) as the front.

This is the beautiful card I received from Sam Bretherick. It is absolutely gorgeous and I love it so much I may have to case it.

The theme for April is Football - gulp!

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.
