For a man who always wears a tie!

 

This card was for a Hearts man who always wears a shirt and tie so thought this PB image was perfect , coloured with prisma's and used my nesties and some craftwork cards craft paper with a silver spot , mounted onto some dark red and silver card stock and printed off the sentiment on the PC and bobs your uncle or should I say John!

Thanks for visiting and any comments are always appreciated.

Weddings Weddings Weddings!

 

Its  been all weddings lately, not sure how many weddings my friend has had this year but its been a lot! This time she wanted a matching money envelope to go with the card, kept this simple with a diamante heart threaded with wide organza ribbon mounted on craftwork cards paper trimmed with mirri , the personalised sentiment was printed directly onto the card and some bling added. 

The next one was a pink petticoat image coloured with prismas and some glitter added and the sentiment was also printed ono the card

Naughty Nurse!

Forgot to post this card a while ago, it was my my friends hubby's 40th and my friend is a nurse so thought this Bugaboo image which can be purchased here and I was delighted to get an email from Bugaboo saying they have featured two of my cards on the page for one of their images here how cool is that?

Anyway onto my card the image as stated earlier coloured with pro markers and mounted onto co ordinations card , the sentiment and the text at the bottom were done on the pc and was all mounted onto black card stock and faux stitching with a white gel pen to finish.

thanks for stopping by.   K xx

Its safe to post this now!

 

because her birthday is past.

This A4 card was commissioned to give to my cousin up north from her 2 SIL and her friends for her 40th birthday , the request was for pink, black and white, shoes, dresses or bags, bling, feathers and fun. I hope this fitted the bill , there was also a few other things I had to include and I put these on the inside, I made the box with a black lid to keep with the theme. Glad to say she loved the card, I will post the one I gave to her when I have downloaded the pics.

thanks for looking and any comments you leave will get a return visit.....K x

Black & white is really popular just now

Its my oldest sons 13th birthday so have just come back from Frankie & Benny's , feeling stuffed, I will post his card later this week as havent photographed it yet , also had quite a few request for black and white just now 1st up is a guest book and card  and below is a birthday card for my friends sister

 

first made this for a friend in Dubai to give to someone over here, I had to get my hubby to deliver it to a girl who works at the Airport (where hubby works) and therefore had to wrap it and put on a matching gift tag. They used it as a guest book as they did'nt have one already.  Below is it wrapped in celophane and tied with ribbon.

 

and finally a birthday card for my friends sister , love this paper from my local stockist its just not the cheapest as its by the A4 sheet, sentiment was on the pc and I cant remember where I got the wee dresses from

thanks for looking and any comments are always appreciated

now I am off to visit some blogs.....K x

Seem to be having a wee problem with blogs I have decided to follow they dont seem to be showing on my blog list , hopefully I will figure it out , anyway onto my card which was made for a friend who wanted one not too flowery as her friend is quite a trendy and 'mad' girl, so hopefully this fitted the bill.

Oh just figured out me wee problem and its sorted now, yay!

A Card at Last and an Apology

First my apology for not being around much lately, things have been really busy and not had a minute, just had time to make my card requests but not much time to visit you all or post them up , I promise to catch up with blogland tonight.

Now onto my card which was made for my friend for her best friends 40th and she wanted something special.  I had made the card below for her husbnad to give to her for her 40th which I hadnt posted up (dont know why) and she loved it so much she wanted a pink version for her friend.
these cards do take a bit longer to make but the finished article stands out in a display , perfect for special friends.

 

Thanks for looking and if you leave a comment I will be sure to visit you back K xx
