Thanks!

Small thank-you cards for a some people I felt indebted to. The banner idea was taken from a cardmaking video (www.kwernerdesign.com) I watched sometime back, a lovely way to add dimension to a card without too much fuss.

The Union Jack card has some mistakes on the flag - I apologise for that! It was created using layers of red and white card on a dark blue base. 

Envelope-book

Envelope-book made for a friend’s birthday. Instructions for envelope-books are very easily found online - this was one created using cloth tape for the spine binding. The front cover design is my own - hand-drawn, outlined and coloured in with glitter glue. :) The quote on the spine is ‘Stretch your mind beyond fantastic, Dreams are made of strong elastic’ (Mary Poppins!)

You're My Anchor

Father’s Day card. My anchor, indeed. :)

Wave pattern painstakingly created using the very tips of a small circle punch to chomp off crescent-shaped pieces off the edge of bright blue cardstock - and a lot of patience. 

Anchor traced onto tracing paper, then outlined with black Aqualip and filled in with glitter glue (which totally warped the paper, but this was solved by waiting for the glue to dry, then flattening it between the pages of a book.)

The little dots are just turquoise dimensional paint. :) 

You're a Winner: Hole in One

Birthday card for my golfer dad. Had quite a bit of trouble with the pulling mechanism… very amateurish work I’m afraid. The cardstock layering used to create the landscape was very difficult to deal with too.

But oh well. He loved it. :)

The golf ball was a large, shimmery white brad dotted with black permanent marker for a dimensional look. All other details, apart from the 'Winner' rub-on, were hand cut/drawn and pasted on. 

Cherry Blossoms New Year

Chinese New Year card made for my darling Grandma who had never received post in her life. :) I was told she was very, very happy. 

Paper cut-out on red cardstock, using a brush design from a downloadable brush-set from DeviantArt… unfortunately I can no longer find the owner of those brush designs to credit her. Screwed up the cut-out a little, but it wasn’t too noticeable. Later outlined in black Aqualip (I told you I loved this pen) and then some cherry blossom details drawn in by hand and coloured using GellyRoll.

Pusheen: Eat Everything!

A little Pusheen hand-made notebook (character does not belong to me!!!!) made for a friend’s birthday gift. It is a near-replication of a GIF of Pusheen. Blue textured card and regular A4 white paper (cut down to size) used. All the details were cut out of different-coloured paper and coloured in/decorated where necessary.
