Some recent makes!

Here are some of the cards I've made in the last while. 

Hope you like them!

This card is made using scraps of paper and pieceing them together to form a patchwork like pattern.

This card is made again using end strips of paper and is a very effective way of giving the impression of origami

A very simple card using a feather and some flowers to finish

This is a crd that would cover any occassion by just changing the greeting tile

This card is made using a vintage santa background, crafts too 'Ivy-Corner' die-cut and the topper is from Joanna Sheens Victorian Christmas CD. The spellbinders die-cut backing the topper is the stately cirlces and plain circles, both from the grand nestabilities range.

This card is made using a lovely image of a family at the crib outside Church. The nesties are again from the spellbinders grand nestabilities range and are the grand decorative labels 1.

This card is made using an image from the new Hobby House 'Mo Manning' die-cut toppers. The left-hand ribbon border is made using the Martha Stewart Ribbon Border Punch and is layered onto another piece of backing card punched on both sides again with a Martha Stewart border punch. The die-cut used to back the topper is from the spellbinders 'resplendent rectangles'.

Card Class at 'Craftybride', Kilkenny

Here are the three cards I done at my half day class on Tuesday last at 'Craftybride' in Kilkenny. Hope you like them.....

This Baby Card would be suitable for either a boy or girl just by changing the ribbon colour. You could also use white ribbon to keep it completely neutral. The image is a Penny Parker Baby image.

This image has lovely colouring and would suit either the green and teal tones used or alternatively brown tones.
The backing paper used is from dreamtime.

This is a great card for using up scraps and can be adapted to suit any occasion.
