Commissioned Platinum Wedding Anniversary Card

Card Design



  This was a card that was commissioned for a 70th Wedding Anniversary, which happens to be Platinum in the traditional Anniversary Calendar.

 

It was inspired by Christina Griffiths, from Card Making Magic.  She used the new Sue Wilson Saville dies to form the card base and the layers.  I printed the sentiments from my computer and used various flowers from Wild Orchid crafts to finish it off.  I had to make a box to complete the project, as this is a real keepsake.  I used Centura Pearl - Silver for both the box and the card, and though I say so myself, I think it is beautiful. 

 

Thank you Christina, you are very talented.

Scruffy Little Cat - Ashleigh

www.crafterscompanion.co.uk This is Ashleigh from the Scruffy Little Cat collection by Crafters Companion.  I think these images are fabulous!  I love the eyes.  They are so easy to colour, and add whatever bling you like.
I have coloured her with Promarkers and added the additional definition and shade with Polychromo pencils using a blending solution and paper stumps.  The dies I have used are from Spellbinders.  Not only are the images fantastic, but the sentiments are as well.  Perfect together!!

Soft Chalk Embossed Card

Hi all, a very Happy New Year to everyone! It's been some time since I last posted, apologies for that!  I had 2 demonstrations in January and so I am adding my favourite makes, bare with me it may take a while.

This is one of two samples I did using the lovely A5 Poppy embossing folder from DoCrafts.  I simply embossed a white card and added lilac and green chalks to the embossed elements.  A coloured a white organza ribbon to match the purple mat and then stamped a sentiment in Versamark and added the same chalk to the sentiment.  Quite simple really, but very effective.  It reminds me of the soft look you get with watercolour painting.

Pink is Perfect

Gift bag

www.docrafts.com  Hi there, I thought that I would share these two demo makes from this weekend.  They are both from the DoCrafts  Papermania Rose Capsule Collection. Beautiful papers with pink hues.  I made a gift bag and matching card below.  I used craft card in both which really compliments the pink.

Matching card

Both have got a gold embossed sentiment   which was cut in a circle and matted onto a craft scalope circle.
All the dies used in these samples are from DoCrafts, Xcut.

Pink Chalked Poppies

www.docrafts.com Here is the 2nd of my demo makes using the embossing folder and soft chalks.  This one I used pink chalk and added glitter to finish the soft look.  I mounted it on to a darker card to draw the eye into the poppies.  This was a popular make at both my demos in January.  The embossing folder can be purchased from DoCrafts retailer.

Mini Thank You cards and Gift Box

 

 

This is a perfect little gift for a friends or family.  I used the new Papermania Capsule collection mini cards and envelopes in French Lavender.  The sentiment is from Stamp rite, which I heat embossed.  The label tag is also from DoCrafts.  This is the insert to a larger tag, really useful shape and perfect for these cards.  The box is made from a single piece of card.  If you would like the measurements for this particular make, just leave me a comment?  You can of course make any size, it just depends on the size of the cards you want to place in the box?

Beehive in French Lavender

Hexagon Easel card with Beehive embelishments

I made this card after being inspired from Diane Clews on the DoCrafts gallery.  I changed the topper slightly by using the honeycomb die to form the topper and replaced the flowers with the beehive.  All the papers are from the Lavender capsule collection from Papermania, so pretty and fresh.  The stamped sentiment is from StampRite.
