A birthday card for my sister

Hi All

It will soon be my sister's birthday.
 Although I do not use the colour green very often I have used it for her card because it is her favourite colour.

I used some pretty paper from my stash which I matted onto green mirri card.

As the paper is so detailed I felt it did not need too much in the way of embellishments, so I simply added two flowers which I made using Sue Wilson's cornflower die.

Then I used my Sizzix alphabet dies to cut out the word sister three times in white card, and then once in a variety of patterned papers, before glueing hem together for dimension.  I finished with a few sequins and glazed the letters with glossy accents.

Hope you (and my sister) like this

Quilt for a new baby

Hello
Today I would like to show you something a little different - a quilt I made for our new grandaughter.

The quilt is made of twenty separate squares which I made using the crazy quilting technique.  I embellished  each square with machine embroidery.

The squares were randomly joined together, backed with fleece, then anchored with tiny buttons.  I bound it with  a complimentary colour.

 I am very pleased with the finished quilt,  hope you do too.

Golf themed card

Hello

Today I  would like to share with you a card I made for my grandson.  He plays golf regularly, and I am told he is quite good.

This card is for his birthday, and I couldn't resiqst using my new golfer die from Joanna Sheen.  The other dies I used were several  from a selection of Sizzix  Tim Holtz alterations dies.

Hope you like this

Card using Tim Holtz Mixed Media die and Altnew stamps

Hello

This card was very quick to make

I used my Tim Holtz Mixed Media die, from Sizzix, to cut a pattern into the card top, exposing a complimentary patterned paper.

I created the topper using Altnew layering stamps and embellished with a butterfly which I coloured with Promarkers then dipped into UTEE to give it shine

Hope you like it

A birthday card for a two year old

Very soon it will be my  granddaughter's second birthday.
How time flies, it seems like she only arrived yesterday!
This is the card I made for her

I used some patterned paper on a pink card base, then used a Crazy bird image, which I coloured with Promarkers and added as a slider.
I am happy with it -  I hope it will amuse her.

A simple Anniversary card

Hello
My next card is an anniversary card which I made using a variety of Sizzix dies, from Tim Holtz, and cream and kraft card.

I do like the combination of kraft and cream card, and this was so easy because the dies did all the work for me - simple

All for now

Clean and simple floral card with subtle colouring

Hello

I can't seem to decide if I prefer a clean and simple style of card (CAS) or one that is more complex.  This post features one of the CAS types which is very quick to make - I am really happy with this.

The stamp is called magnolia and is from Chocolate Baroque .  I stamped the image with grey ink and simply coloured it with a pale pink Promarker.  Then I pulled the colour into the paler areas with a blender pen.

I also experimented with a darker shade of pink -- and now I can't decide which I prefer.

Hope you like these, which is your favourite?
