Tiffany's blog

Just dropping by to let you know I'll be a guest on Tiffanys blog tomorrow http://www.tiffanyscardtique.com/ Pop along and look at her lovely cards.

More family cards

For my nieces birthday card I made a topper and backing sheet using a photo of her dog (Bichon frise) and a lot of pink as that's her favourite colour! lol

For the second card I used a Stampin up circle scallop punch and a punch/stamp from the 3 for you stamp set for the 3 small flowers . The layout idea I got from an example card on a Stampin up examples site. The lilac backing paper and flower topper are from old TLC stock i have.

Family cards

Sorry for such a long gap between posts. Our daughter has been poorly, I'm pleased to say she is now making a good recovery. I have managed to make a few cards other than some christmas cards. One for my great nephew and another for an aunt.

My nephews card was made using the Crafters companion Boys CD and I stamped a picture of a boy and put him in the window.

For my Aunt I used a topper and backing sheet from a cd (I think Joanna sheen ! lol) I embossed a wavy line on the backing paper and the right hand side of the card front then cut this off and add as shown in the picture.

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
