A few Christmas cards

There are lots of "me to you bear" craft products out there at the moment. I couldn't resist using some, especially the glittery ones, to make some Christmas cards. These are just a few of the ones I made.

Me to You card for my sister's birthday

I made my sister's card from "Me to You" decoupage. Star backing paper is also from the range.
The decoupage is pre-cut making it easier to get it all lined up and no fiddly cutting :)

....another card...this time for mum's birthday

70th Birthday Card

I made this card for a special lady for her 70th birthday. She likes owls and the colour purple. I made the owl from decoupage and used foam flowers and butterflies.

Emma and Peter's Wedding

I was asked to help with some of the stationary for the wedding of my friend's brother and his fiancée. We did the table planner for the evening do. We also made a wishing well to put the cards in.
The colour theme was purple and gold with butterflies.

A rugby card

I made this for OH's cousin. I used a 3D decoupage that had a matching boarder  which I used to cover the join through the middle of the card.

A Musical Card

A birthday card for my musical friend.

I chose the cello image as she plays the cello, I built it into a 3D decoupage. I did the embossed music score with an embossing folder with my Cuttlebug. I used outline peel off stickers for the border and more peel offs for the "Happy birthday" and the notes at the bottom.

Mother's day cards I made this year

 For my mum, a real tea fan.                                       For my mum-in-law

A birthday card for my Grandma

I made this "stepper" card for my Grandma's birthday. I saw the design in a magazine making Valentine's day cards. One I got the card trimmed and scored in the right places it wasn't too difficult. I did rumage through all my background papers to find a couple that were different. I added the cakes as it is well known that Grandma has a very sweet tooth! Especially Cadbury's mini rolls!!

Happy birthday Grandma xxx

First attempt at making something with the sewing machine...eek

After receiving a sewing machine for Christmas I thought I'd start by making a simple bag. I've had lots of encouragement from the lovely ladies on MSE so I have a pattern from my local shop and some lovely blue material....here goes......Just hope I don't cut it wonky ;-)

Just a few cards I made for Christmas 2010

 

A birthday card for my "cat-mad" friend

My friend is mad about animals and recently adopted a ginger cat which she named "Radish" (I do not know why!). I got the cat embellishments from a local craft shop Once I figured out how to position the ribbon it was quite simple. I did the wording in the centre with an embossing folder using my cuttlebug.

I have a few more cards on the go...am trying out some "stepper cards" that I saw in last month's issue of a crafting mag....watch this space!!!

A few cookies from Christmas

I bought a lovely star cookie cutter set from Lakeland. Made some little cookies as extra stocking fillers. I made the cookie tower for my mother-in-law as she's not a fan of Christmas cake. Not bad for a first attempt, I thought
