The ones you love making




On the up side; my grand father turned 90 past week so I went all out (as much as I can go 'all out' with limited time and skill :D)...and 'stole' the idea of a slide-out-card from Elke (http://elke-verschooten.blogspot.com/2010/06/cuddly-birth-day-card-knuffelige.html)
I made it extra bright and cheery. He loved it...and what he doesn't know yet is that there is a big party this weekend and a first joined-forces card from my mum and me. She made a lace border for a card I made....Will post it when it's finished.


The ones you dread making...


Sympathy cards are so ambiguous to make...on one hand I like putting some thought and creativity in them, on the other hand I feel like I should be commemorating the deceased rather then thinking about colours and lay out....
The stamps are from WMS, the punches are MS ones and the border die is the Eyelet Lace Border die from PTI (again LOVE it just as much as the rickrack one).
To stamp the flowers and to colour the paper used to cut the border out, I used Spun Sugar and Victorian Velvet distress ink.

Foreverness


I saw this card, made by Claire from WMS and completely fell head over heels with it! Its clean but stil 'swirly'.
Used the WMS 'fancy tags' for this one.

Fab Friend


Used the 'mod squad' PTI stamps to their fullest!
I'm really fond of the rickrack border die from PTI as well...it cuts so crisp and clean, lovely.
