Father’s Day Cards

These cards measure 5ins x 5ins and is made with hand cut blanks using white linen effect card.

I just love these embellishments, they come from a pack sent to me from Dianne in Florida and came from Michaels.  I could have used them more sparsely to make a lot more cards but they looked so lovely together in their groups, that it was a shame to split them up.

I’ve kept both cards pretty less is more, no background papers or mat and layering just scraps of the Kanban A4 wooden fence card with other matching papers, a handwritten or Dymo Label sentiment  and  tiny silver brads here and there.  Done and dusted.

Father’s Day Tool Kit Card

This card measure 5ins x 5ins and is made with hand cut blanks using white linen effect card.

These embellishments are gorgeous ….. they are part of a packet sent to me from Dianne in Florida and came from Michaels …. a shop I long to purchase profusely in one day …….

I’ve teamed them up with a scrap of A4 Kanban wooden fence card and another matching paper adding a few small silver brads in the corners. The wording is done on my faithful old Dymo label maker which is ideal for men's cards.

Father’s Day Cards - 17th June

Both these cards measure 5ins x 5ins and are made with hand cut blanks using white linen effect card.

Dianne sent me this pack of Jolee’s Boutique stickers all the way for Florida, I was loathe to use them as they satisfy my great need for all things tiny, but what’s the point in them being left unused, in a drawer, so I made myself use them …..

The little tools are just so exquisite!

I’ve teamed them up with scraps from an A4 sheet of Kanban Wooden Fence card and matching papers plus a smattering of small silver brads.

Ladyboy Card

This card is A5 in size using a blank made from white linen effect card.

This has got to be one of the strangest cards I have ever made, but perfect for the gentleman it was for!  The brief was for a card for my sister-in-laws neighbour who travels to Thailand on business frequently and as a result is the butt of many jokes and if I could come up with a  ladyboy theme that would be brilliant,  no pressure then!

I wracked my brains and then, all of a sudden, remembered the paper dolls that used to be on the back of Bunty when I was a girl! So I did a bit of Googling and found this paper doll set,  bulls-eye!! The background picture is a street at night in Bangkok, perfect!

I’ve made simple decoupage layers for the lady and her dresses, adding micro glitter, small gems and a layered flower in her hair.  The old fashioned style Dymo tape just finishes the whole effect. I just love it when my mind goes off at a weird tangent!!
