Animal magic

I have been having great fun with my punches making animal toppers so far I've got 2 done and there are many more I want to try! lol

The sheep card isn't finished with a sentiment etc as I feel it will work for several different occasions. I got the instructions for this from Stamp with Heather http://stampwithheather.typepad.com/stamp_with_heather/ who is brilliant with stamping and punching.


The owl card I have made for someone who ran a rescue centre for all animals including owls. The instructions for this I found on Youtube by foreveramber925. Both cards use stampinup punches, I had to adapt the owl a bit as I don't have all the punches used. (yet! lol)

For the Ladies

I have been trying to use up various items I've bought and have had for some time! lol This first card was from Carol Ann studio CD and I've added some 3D glue to the middle of the flower.

The second card I made from a decoupage sheet not sure where I got this one! lol but I'm pleased with the result after cutting the card to match the topper.

Embossing

I just had to show you my DIL first try at heat embossing, isn't the card brilliant. She has layered the medallion stamp up and using the silver on black card was very effective.

A couple for the men

I've been busy with male birthday cards, here are a couple. The first is layered pyramage and the second flippin card I've shown the front and back as you open the card. This was made for my daughters boss! lol

Weddings

It seems to be the time for weddings in my circle of friends. If its not their children then it's them! lol Here is a card I made for a friends second wedding. I also made a card for a 'nephew' which I was chuffed with but unfortunately forgot to take a pic of prior to posting it! lol

Mat pack

At last I've managed to have a quick play with my stampin up mat pack. It's so easy to use and adding a simple border is no problem as all the measuring is done for you. I made the flower from a wrapping paper design.

Birthday Cards

It's a busy time of year with cards needed for birthdays and other occasions. Here are a couple of cards I've recently made the first is using the tag punch I bought from stamping up.

The second is a card using a concertina folded butterfly that I'm pleased with and have kept a template of how I did it for futute use.
