40th Card for a Man

 

Oh how we hate doing mens cards, I think it is because we cant pretty them up with flowers, ribbon and glitter cos all us crafter's are quite girly when it comes down to it!

Anyway , my old work colleague asked me to do a 40th for her hubby and he is a big Ranger's fan so rather than do a football theme just thought I would use the bright blue as the colour is lovely.

Couldn't post before his birthday which is today, just in case she was on my site and he saw it!

Paper - doodlebug

Sentiment- pc and craftwork cards

Embossing folder and nesties used

Card candy - craftwork cards

below is the one she wanted for her son to give

 

sorry my pics are so rubbish , I promise to get better !

Thanks for looking and comments are always lovely to receive.....K xx

Wedding Card

 

Had to do a large wedding card for my friend and have to give credit to one of my docraft buddies  Claire for the idea of the flowers round the nestie as this is one of her ideas. I embossed the backing card on my score board and done the sentiment on the computer , just after I punched the last flower I broke my punch! the metal bit that the flower comes out broke clean off, think I may be over using it !

thanks for looking and any comments are always worth a return visit.........K x

40th card and using up the leftovers

 

Hi all hope you are having a good weekend , I have been painting all day in my youngest sons room, lime green and blue!!! Will post pics when done.

2 in one weekend!!

This set was also made at christmas time and have never had chance to post , it was made as a christmas present for a couple getting married in April

My friend had a little mishap with the guest book and dropped it in the snow!, it was all splattered with muddy marks and I tried to revive the cover but had to recover the box in the end with handmade paper and put on a new personalised label and embellishments. She was over the moon her gift wasn't totally spoiled.

Ruby Wedding

 

So glad its Friday tomorrow, hoping to get some cards done over the weekend but I do want to paint my craft room downstairs. I had moved upstairs and was sharing a room with the ironing table (thinking it may encourage me to keep it up to date) ha! the lure of my craft table won every time! My boys decided they want to have their own rooms again so I need to vacate the bedroom and move downstairs , but it needs to be painted first as it used to be a wee playroom and is needing a facelift. My daughter is having some grandparent time so hopefully get started with the paint.  On to my card and album ..........Ruby Wedding card was made using the following:

computer for the sentiments and names, cut out with nesties, I embossed the backing card with my scoring board into a criss cross design which you cant really see in the photo, the flowers are from wild orchid and some are punched and I have put some wee pearls in the centres, ribbon from stash, I have made a personalised album to match below

Thanks for looking and for any comments you wish to leave...............K x

Wedding Card and Box

 

Yes another one be they seem to be popular just now, my friend wanted this box and card for a wedding she has soon so managed to finish this at last as its been a busy week , the flowers were a mix of Wild Orchid flowers and punched flowers with little pearls in the middle, the wedding cakes I got from my local craft shop but think you can get them from Mad About Cards, used my nesties and my new daisy embossing folder that I got from hubby for christmas and all the sentiments were made on the computer.

here is a closer one of the card but excuse my rubbish photography!
