Friday Already!

Hi all,

What a busy week it's been. I've been organising a Wheel Card Swap over on ILWS and just loved everyone's creations. Below is the one I made using a baby theme:

Baby Boy Card


I made eight of these, and forgot to take a picture of all these cards on mass. Here's the one and only photo I have of it to show what it looks like from the front. When you open the card, you see the round sentiment inside in the top right hand corner.

Stamps: Jumbo Wheel - "Nursery Letters" and Hostess Level 2 Stamp Set "Cause For Celebration".
Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Brocade Blue.
Ink Pad: Bashful Blue.
Accessories: Crop-A-Dile, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch. Gingham Ribbon - Light Blue.

Thanks for stopping by.

Granddaughter Commission

Hi all,

Hope you're well and looking forward to Friday :) Thought after my earlier sneak peek of the Confirmation Cards, you'd like to see another commission that I can now reveal. A number of invitations and purse boxes along with a large A5 card was commissioned by a lady who's celebrating her special Granddaughter's birthday this month.

Hope it was worth the wait!

Commissions

Hi all,

Have been a busy bee lately and have been making various commissions for people. I won't upload pictures of the full cards and boxes in their full glory till I know it's "safe" to do so, so until then, I'll upload some sneak peeks.

Granddaughter Commission
Two ladies - Mother and Daughter commissioned me to make me six invitations, six boxes and one granddaughter card recently on a cupcake theme because their little one just loves to bake in the kitchen.

Here are some sneak peeks of the finished commission, hope you like.





Mazel Tov Commissions
A lady commissioned me to make a number of gift card wallets for lots of upcoming Weddings and Bar Mitzvahs that her and her husband will be attending over the upcoming months. These gift card wallets can be used by slipping off the decorative band, lifting up the flap and inserting a cheque, gift card or anything else that fits in the pocket inside.

Here are some sneak peeks:





That's it for now, hope you've enjoyed the sneak peeks.

Bye for now,

Alex

Long Weekend

Hi all,

Hope you're all having a lovely long Easter weekend. Been cardmaking all day today making a few cards and samples to add to my collection.

Loving the tutorial that Carole put on her blog recently, so after making a Father's Day Gift Wallet yesterday, thought I'd make a Christmas one today.

Christmas - Perfect Presents - Outside


Christmas - Perfect Presents - Inside


Next I decided to follow Monica's instructions on making invitations and came up with the following examples christening new stamp sets I've recently bought since becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Invitation - Baby Announcement


Invitation - Girl's Birthday


Invitation - Boy's Birthday


Hope you had fun today and I'll be back tomorrow with more creations.

Bye for now,

Alex
