Embossed card

Last night I made a simple card using two Sizzix embossing folders and some SU ribbon and baker's twine - the details are very beautiful but it doesn't look like much if you see it from a distance! Thankfully, when the recipient gets it out of the envelope they'll be close enough to appreciate its beauty... ;)

Cushion covers

Here are a couple of cushion covers I rustled up a day or two ago using some rather attractive fabric I bought from IKEA ages ago. I do love these!

A birthday card for a boy

This is for a friend's eldest son (turning 8 this month!) - I love the way it came out. Shall be posting it off later today.

A thank you card

I've just made this for a friend who kindly gave me some Modern Medley DSP as a birthday present - I wanted to use some of it on the card, so combined two different patterns with Strawberry Slush cardstock and ink, as well as some pink Tilda ric-rac (which goes quite nicely with the Strawberry Slush I think). The sentiment is from an Archiver's set.

A couple of very early Christmas cards

For some reason, last night I was inspired to start my Christmas cards (this has never happened this early before...!). I ended up making 3 each of 2 designs , which means that 6 people have a halfway chance of actually getting a card on time this year ;)

This is one of the cards:

And here's the other:

Card bases are Docrafts kraft, ink is SU Whisper White and Poppy Parade. Sentiment stamps are Hero Arts and the others are SU.

Fusion challenge card - delicious with Crushed Curry

I saw the Fusion challenge yesterday and was inspired to make this card for it - I really love how it came out! It's a birthday card but it would work just as well for a wedding.

This is a great colour combo - I think I'll have to make a fleet of cards with these colours! Anyone care to join me? :)

Everything is SU on this card, to wit:

Cardstock - Basic Grey, Crushed Curry and Very Vanilla
Ink - Basic Grey and Crushed Curry
Stamp sets - Fresh Vintage and  Banner Greetings
Punches - Boho Blossoms and Decorative Label

A "just because" card

Here's a card I made today for my crafting buddy (who lives in another country, sadly) wishing her lots of creative fun with the goodies I'm sending her.
 

I love the colour combo, and the grey ribbon which I think I got wrapped around some clothing I bought. Repurpose, recycle and reuse! :)
