Vicky 25th Birthday

 

The image is Hopeful from Wee Stamps  I have coloured her with Promarkers 

The backing paper is Trendy Sprinkles a digital download from Crafty Card Making 

12 different colours in the same pattern for £1.20,  print them as many times as you like.

 

 

The inside of the card is made to match the front

 

Ribbon, pearls, flowers and charm are from my stash.

Chocolate Bouquets

I had seen these in a shop and have wanted to make them for a while.

I decided to make them as table decorations for my Husbands 50th birthday

 

 

I used funsize Cadbury Chocolate Bars and refresher chew bars.

the bases are cardboard living vases from Ebay (meant for flowers). with Oasis in the bottom.

and a pull bow on the front.

 

As you can see it was a case of experimenting.

I used different coloured tissue paper and cellophane

Each sweetie bar was attached to a wooden coffee stirrer,

 wrapped in tissue paper and or cellophane using a glue gun.

Then arranged as you would flowers.

 

They can be made with any choice of sweets or chocolate

Would be a great gift using someone's favourite chocolate

Great fun to make and everyone loved them.

The Paper Shelter - The Happy couple - Wedding Card, light blue

 

Light Blue Wedding Card

I was asked by a friend to create a special, personalised Wedding Card

This card is 8" square on White pearlescent card

 

The image is The Happy couple from The Paper Shelter  which I have coloured with Promarkers 

to co-ordinate with the requested colour scheme. 

The background paper is Birdsong by Pion which is absolutely gorgeous.

I have used the top left and bottom right corners, cutting the paper to fit and hiding the cut.

 

I made the card an easel with a difference -

it also opens up like a traditional card.

 

 

On the inside cover I have used the 6" paper  and created a pocked which could be used for a gift envelope but in this case has been used for mini postcards with ribbons which the sender can write personal messages on

 

The words of the first dance were printed onto white pearl vellum

 

A very personal message from Mum to her son and new wife.

This is printed onto 6" Birdsong paper

Retirement Cards and decorated bottle

Hello and welcome to my blog sharing hand made, unique, personalised cards and other handmade gifts, favours and treasures. 
I would love to hear any comments or questions you have.

 

One of the lovely ladies who works with me retires this week.  This bottle was an experiment but loved the way it turned out.

 

The girls asked me to make a card from everyone,  I didn't have time to make one from scratch so downloaded this one from Craftsuprint  and love it! 

 

And this is another card from Craftsuprint,  a very easy card to print and cut out.
