Autumn blooms

I have been very slack with posting on here for quite some time as my work as an Environmental Scientist has been keeping me very busy. Back at the end of February I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a demo and class with Emma Lou from Heartfelt Creations as I had some leave already planned for my 30th birthday. From this day I was able to pick up some great new skills in paper flower making. I've got a few examples of some of these below.

These are the flowers before attaching them to the card below. They are stamped with stamp paint and then die cut and shaped.

 This is the finished card. It was made for my best friend's 30th birthday.

 

As these cards have quite a bit of height they don't fit into envelopes particularly well so I'm also making boxes for them. For postage I can make them to fit into a VHS postpak.

This is the birthday card I made for my mum. I've made the flowers and leaves by stamping onto velum with white ink, coloured the back with markers then shaped and added pearls into the centre of the flowers. The stamp is from Lilli of the Valley.

 

This is the Mother's Day card for my Omi. As with the first card I've used stamp paint but this time I went with dark stamp paint on bright cardstock.

Happy Mother's Day!

Today I'm sharing some of the cards I have made for the wonderful mother's in my life. The first one is for my own mum, made in some of her favourite colours.

This one was for my Grandmother (Omi) who loves red and other bright colours.

 

And this one is for Mum's partners's Mother (Nell) another fan of bright colours and a keen gardener.

 

 

All the stamps are from Lili of the Valley, the papers from Kaisercraft and the dies are from Spellbinders and My Favourite Things Die-namics.

 

Lili of the Valley's Boy Oh Boy Challenge

 

What better way to start my blog than by entering the new challenge, Boy Oh Boy, from my favourite stamp company Lili of the Valley (LOTV).

 

This card features my favourite LOTV boy stamp Yee Haa! as well as a Greetings Postmark.

I've used the Kaisercraft Cock-a-doodle-doo! paper pad and sticker sheet for the background and Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circles and Standard Circles.

 

For my customers (Australia only) this card is available for sale, measures 15x15cm and is $6.

 

Thanks for looking :)
