Birthdays

This card was a Birthday card for my boyfriend. My first attempt at creating a masculine card. I love this stamp as the dog looks exactly like our dog Zilla. So cute!

I created this card for my friend Kasia. She is super sexy and loves vampires so it was perfect. I added some 3D effects and glitter on the horns and tail. It didn't turn out as smooth as I would have liked but ok for my first attempt I think.

This card was for my friend Chan. She is just so summery and cute and these colours mixed with this gorgeous monkey stamp is so her. Very feminine and sweet.

This was my brand new stamp. For me I was trying new colours which I don't usually use. I love the gold ridged paper which I have had sitting around for ages. The flower looks so much better in person but seems to clash in the photo which I'm not really happy about. My friend Catherine absolutely loves the beach but she is extremely stylish and loves to go out too so I wanted to show that blend of her personality.

More wedding cards

My brother is soon getting married and my partners best friends just got married so I tried to create cards for them that obviously reflect what they really look like whilst also suiting thier own personal style and wedding colours. I wish I had added more detail to the background of my white card but I was fairly happy overall.


Mother's Day cards

This card I adapted one of my stamps to make smaller and fit perfectly on the page. This was for my partners Mum. She loves antique style furniture and ages effects. I thought this was classy and unique just like her.

This card was designed to give my own Mum a hint to relax as she doesn't give herself much time to do what she wants. She loves cool, ocean colours and once again I used the new ticket stamps I had just got as I absolutely love them!

Baby shower two times the fun, two times the girls

Two of my friends are looking gorgeous and glowing whilst being extremely pregnant. They are having a joint baby shower in a couple of weeks so I wanted to design some cards to go along with their presents.


One of my friends is EXTREMELY girly and loves pink whilst my other friend loves classic style so I tried to design a baby shower for each of them that was fun, cute but also very different from each other. Below is what I came up with (I love the deer it's so cute!!!!)

A Birthday card

One of my very girly girlfriends was having her 30th Birthday so I came up with this little card below. I was inspired by some gorgeous paper I bought that was all in pinks, greens and blues. I was really happy with this card, it's probably my favourite so far!

My first couple of attempts

I've always enjoyed crafty and arty type activities but my friends weddings inspired me to give card making a go. I you tubed a few videos and found some cool stamps from the greeting farm so below are some cards
I came up with.
