Iris Folding - Baby and Cat Cards

Quilled 50th Birthday Card easel card

My twin aunts are turning 50 this week so I wanted to make their 50th birthday cards extra special. This is what I came up with. One down, one to go! It's lucky they only turn 50 once as I'll definately think twice about attempting this card design again ... it took hours!!

Easel calendar card - Chinese style

This is another version of the easel calendar cards. I was commissioned to make this for a Christmas pressie. The stamps are from the Kaisercraft stamp set called Lush Collection.

Easel calendar card - various

Over the last few days I thought I'd make a start on my Christmas pressies for this year. I always give my work colleagues a christmas ornament (which I bought during the after Christmas sales last year). I'm not always this organised I can assure you! But I also wanted to make something unique and special. I'm really into easel cards at the moment so this calendar easel card developed. I'm trying to mix up the 'styles' to suit the personalities/style of my colleagues. Here are a few samples to give you some ideas.

We will also be making a similar version of the red easel card at the next ladies card making day.

Stampin Up - Vintage Vogue and Butterfly Prints

I've had some more requests for cards from workmates so I thought I'd get busy this weekend and get a few made. I got stuck on 2 stamp sets which are my current favourites (SU Vintage Vogue and SU Upsy Daisy). I also got to play with my new Cuttlebug machine. This was bought by my other half for my birthday but I was allowed to play with it 3 months early! Bless his sweet little heart!!!

Stampin Up - Vintage Vogue Easel cards

Hi All, thank goodness we are at the end of another crazy week. Hopefully going forward will bring an ease of pace.

I made a couple of Easel Cards using the Stampin Up Vintage Vogue stamp set, one for my friends belated birthday and another for a work mates 50th birthday. Ink colours used was SU Always Artitoke, River Rock, Elegant Eggplant & Perfect Plum. I just love the Vintage Vogue set which is a close second favourite to Upsy Daisy.
