Vintage Vogue With Sincere Salutations

Hi all,

Hope you're having a good morning so far. Thought I'd make a card using my new favourite stamp set called "Vintage Vogue" that is in the newly released Mini Catalogue on page 14. I have used my favourite colours below to create a card for someone's birthday.

Have a good day and see you soon with another upload :)

Bye for now,

Baby Sneak Peeks

Hi all,

Well where has the week gone to? I don't know where, but it's now Friday again.

Recently had good news that my Mum's good friend's son and his wife have recently had a baby boy, so thought I'd make a card and a box to hold a little something for the new baby :)

Here are a few sneak peeks until I know it's safe to do so.

Have a good weekend :)

Another Birthday Card...

Hi all,

WOW: What a day, weather-wise. I can't believe how heavy the rain came down this morning! Anyway, it's brightened up a bit for the afternoon which was good as it's nice to make cards in natural daylight :)

Below is a card I made today using my new Cuttlebug Cut & Emboss set that I recently bought and received. It's a sneak peek I'm afraid because the receiver of this card might accidently see it before the day.


Have a good weekend everyone and will upload the card in full at a later date.

Bye for now,

Alex

Bar Mitzvah

Hi all,

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend and having a good Father's Day. Wanted to upload the Bar Mitzvah commission that I had last month as it's safe to do so now. The lady ordered a few different gift card wallets for some upcoming events, so here below is one for a Bar Mitzvah celebration:

Outside


Inside - when you slide off the band


These gift card wallets are a great idea to give someone - either to enclose a cheque or to put a gift card in for the recipient.

Bye for now,

Confirmation Cards

Hi all,

Hope everyone reading this post are well and have been enjoying the beautiful weather wherever you are. I can't believe it's been a while since updating my blog, but it's been extremely busy this end so I've now got a spare moment to do a little catching up :)

So, since it was the end of May yesterday, I can now officially upload the three Confirmation Cards that I was commissioned for earlier. Kate lent me some gorgeous Papertrey Ink stamps so that I could do these cards, so I was ever so grateful for her kindness.

Here they are:





Be back later for another upload of earlier sneak peeks.

Easter Weekend.

Hi all,

Well it's Good Friday today, so a lovely long weekend of cardmaking :)

Yesterday I started to make a gift wallet for holding the many gift cards that are readily available at the tills that are so popular nowadays. Thanks to Carole for the tutorial, I have cased her idea and made mine into a gift card for Father's Day - 21June.

Thanks for stopping by.

Bye for now,
