Cardmaking :-)

I've been neglecting my blog. Here's a few of my more recent card-making attempts. 


A baby card made for a coworker. This is a variation of a file found on the Silhouette site. 


Some cards made on request for Doctor's Day which was May 1 in Nova Scotia. 

That's all for now!!

Wedding Cards - Round Two!

Hello stamping and crafting public!  I've been making some wedding cards for a friend.  I decided to try and do a couple in various colours in case I get invited to any weddings this summer.  I tried to figure out what the hot wedding colours were for 2014 so I hope I came close!

These cards are a remake of the ones I did last year with a slight change (credits on where my file came from are found on this post).  I loved the gate fold last year but the cards wouldn't stay closed without a belly band.  This time, I made them in a traditional opening on the side. 

Thanks for looking :-)

Some Floral Cards - Suitable Easter or Mother's Day :-)

I've been AWOL from posting for awhile and I'm keen to get back at it. Here are some cards I made that would be suitable for Easter or Mother's Day. They were inspired by a card made by my friend, Lisa. She used a SU stamp that I don't own, so I improvised by using a mask on the die cut to make SU's Element of Style fit. The butterflies were cut out on my Silhouette Cameo as was the mask.

The card on the left was stamped using SU Coastal Cabana, the middle in black Versafine, and the one on the right is in Crisp Cantaloupe.  The colour looks washed out on the last card due to my poor photograhy skills :-)

Thanks for looking!
