Unicorns and Rainbows

Evening all

Here's a fun little project I did for some happy mail for my friends:

The sentiment is computer generated, I merged it with the image file before printing. I used promarkers and saskai glitter and white gel pens for accents and finished with some metallic hearts.

New Home Card

Hi all

Just a quick card to share today. My best friend got the keys to her new place last week so this was just a congrats card for her. This is her 3rd house though so I needed to do something totally different to the last couple I made her and I went searching on pinterest for inspiration. I found a few cards done with the accent house idea and so this is what I came up with. 


I tried to keep it clean and simple but still fun so I went with 2 bold colours and minimal accents

Hope you have an A-Maze-Zing Birthday

 Morning all

Another batch of cards made for birthdays coming up, these are as simple as they could get really. Sorry about the pictures, the light levels have been awful and I still need to invest in a light box or studio setup. 
The sentiment was computer generated and I used my nesting circle dies to find the best size to cut the hole for the maze. The supplies all came from Seven Hills Crafts and are by My Favourite things and can be found here, here and here

Ruby Wedding Anniversary

Hi

A simple card to share today which I made for my parents' Ruby Wedding Anniversary. They've never been big on the celebrating thing and they were desperate to avoid a party, so they went off on a mini cruise around Scotland, enjoying their fair share of whisky!  

I really struggled with coming up with a card design which was 'them' and then I stumbled across a video by Jennifer McGuire on youtube which I'd missed which gave me all sorts of ideas and this is what I came up with:

Up to four layers of cardstock on each heart , topped with glossy accents and finished with two sizes of pearls. 

The video I mentioned can be found here

Unfortunately I did the glossy accents and then had to run straight out the door to a meeting so there are some air bubbles but the overall effect wasn't spoilt.

30th Birthday Twist and Pop Card

Hi everyone!

I'm back with card, this one is for my sister (in-laws) 30th Birthday. I wanted to do something extra special as it was a big birthday and I took to pinterest and youtube for inspiration and came across loads of Twist and Pop cards, which apparently were a craze about a year ago. Clearly I missed that one! anyway I found a really good tutorial on youtube which meant I didn't have to have such a big mechanism inside - you can see it here

I set out with very little real design in mind but this was the outcome:
