Alyssa's 7 Today - Tinker Bell Card

Alyssa's no longer silly six! She is now sensible 7!

I used The Tinker Bell and Alphalicious carts to design this card, inked and coloured Tink. Added some prima flowers and skittles to the middles, Lyssi loved it. Although a school day, Lys had the day off 'with permission', to attend the Norfolk Show - she loved it. The best part of her day she said was watching the farmer sheer his sheep, not 1 but 5 times, I was baked and frazzled as the temperatures in Norfolk sored into the 30's, but we had to watch all 5!

Alyssa's Cinema treat invites

Made using the cut file previously posted here are Lys's invites, pictures not that clear so do not give the cards justice:




First flowerpot card I made using fabric flowers

This is my first attempt at making these flowerpot cards, but I had taken the pictures on my phone and couldn't remember how to retreive them. I made this card for a work colleague who received an injury while at work. I used some fabric flowers held together with brads; sprayed leaves; the ribbon is Tilda; edges inked using dark brown; and I added dragonfly brads. The insert has Basic grey lettering. I used the cut file previously posted.

Flowerpot card with cut file

Having seen a few flowerpot cards posted on the cricut card forum I desided to have a bash at creating my own. This card was made for my daughters teachering assistant who has recently had a car accident.





I designed the cut file using George n Basic Shapes. The card when completed fits into a 7" by 5" envelope.

Jeannie posted this on 0ne of my threads, but I feel they should be shared here!

Jeannie thought up some good things to add to this fathers day card like:

Hammer: What you needed to use to knock some sense into me while I was growing up.
Wrench: You made my heart wrench when you were mad at me.
Screwdriver: What you needed to use on me when I had some screws loose.
Tape Measure: Not long enough to measure the love I have for you.
Pencil: You never wrote me off when I did things I wasn't suppose to.

Back of Wedding car cut file

Inspired by the sizzix die of a car front, I designed this cut file for the wedding of a friend a while back, but the wedding isn't until November so I decided to share after I saw a card displayed in the 'Paper Doll Dress Up', then a request for the car. This cut file was designed using Plantin School Book Cart.

Remember!

I made this card for a work colleague who had recently lost a friend, in rememberance, only to find out that it was a male friend she had lost at the young age of 23. The card however was well received and caused a few emotions.

I designed this card using tilda stamps, one at normal size the other I scanned and shrunk, both have been water coloured and then I added glossy essentials to give some shine. I used GBS for the rectangles.

Handbag card

I was requested to make a card by a work colleague for a female friend whose bithday it was. Here is what I designed, the card opens outwards and the template was taken from the Trimcraft site. I added two panels on the inside of this card for messages to be writen on.
