Cup Cakes and Stickles - Card Making

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been playing with the papers and stamps from the Nook & Pantry collection by Basic Grey.
In the stamp set for the cupcakes, you build the cupcake with separate stamps.  For instance the image on this card is made up from a cupcake case, then I added [...]

I realise I took the picture of this in it cellophane wrapper, but I thought I’d share one of the first cards I have made with the Nook and Pantry Basic Grey) set of stamps my mumbought me for Christmas.

Simple Valentines card

I reaslise that it’s a week later, but here is the photograph of the Valentines card I made for my husband.

It’s a quick Birthday Card and was simply made using the card base, a piece of Laura Ashley paper (crumpled at the edges), a piece of lace ribbon tied in the middle with sheer ribbon and a little metal fancy [...]

Soft Vintage Style Thank You Card

I made this card as a Thank You Card for a lady that doesn’t really do lacy and fru-fru!  Tried to keep it simple with the image (lovely soft mood to the picture don’t you think?) doing most of the work.

I have found making cards “around” a photographic image much easier than creating something from [...]

As promised here is the set of four more traditional Christmas cards.  They are the usual red and green style.

Again I’ve used flocked paper from Laura Ashley (Dovecraft sell the range) ton the two outer cards, the background paper on the third from left is Basic Grey “Boxer” 6×6 pad, hence the need for a [...]
