Golf Card

My BIL had a collapse on the Golf course and isn't feeling the best so I made him a get well card with a difference. He loves his golf so I used the cuttlebug golf embossing and die cutting folder to make him the card. I put a verse inside but as it's a bit raunchy I will not add it to the post but I know he will get a laugh from it.

Welcome to New Zealand card

My sister is hosting an foreign student so she wanted a welcome card. This is what I came up with.

Lisa's Apron Card

Lisa from Crafters Anonymous took us through this Apron Card tonight. It is very simple but very effective and would make a wonderful gift. I could see it being a awesome mans card with tools etc as well. Many thanks to Lisa for her ideas.

Cards made at the Tauranga Craft show on Friday 9th while waiting for my baby to give birth but nothing happened :( we are still waiting for our darling we granddaughter to arrive.

HB Madge

Made this for Madge for her birthday. from GoW cart Words from doodletype

Happy Birthday Melanie

I needed to make a card for my step granddaughter and decided it would look much nicer if it had something to go with it. I decided to make a bag after looking at a blog and I love the BTB&M cart. I also like the swirly font of LL and loved the flower frame and flower cause they looked nice. with the card I used the cupcake from doodle charms (just love that one) it looked lonely so I added the happy birthdays and the 20 sticker and painted in the candle glow with sparklie paint. the brads made it look like it had ( hundreds and thousands (not sure what you call them in US but they are tiny sprinkles which are like balls.) On the inside of the card I needed to conceal the ends of the ribbon and so I embossed the white and then as it looked so plain I added the frame from LL. on the right inside the card I used LL to do the words. for the bag I cut it at11.5 inches wide it is 18inches long and used the 12x24 mat and paper. Used a complementary paper and the matching ribbon to add dimension to the card. the front needed something so I added the flower from LL and then added brads and bows. the last pic shows the heart that is made up od beads and stones which I gave as a present but this was what started the co-ordination of the colours.

My DD wanted some logs to pratice her cross country skills so one of the farmers next door gave her some logs and the other brought them to her place and put them in the paddock. She wanted some special thank you cards for them and so these are what I made. The tractor is from 'my world' and the logs from 'Pooh and Friends'. The wording inside the cards is from 'Doodletype' welded with the DS and the thank you's on the front are from a variety of carts. I searched 'thank you' in the keywords and cut them all then used the ones I liked at the time. The front of each card is stamped with thank you in a number of different stamps.

this is the start of a card but I thought it so pretty with the movement I have taken a video and posted it. I was trialing the cutout cards and did a butterfly cutout. As with many children give them a hole and you have to put something in it so what better than a butterfly. I suspended it top and bottom and this is what I got.
