Estate Vineyards

 I hope you are well?

I find it very hard to find suitable images for masculine cards.  However, these papers from Kanban Crafts hit the spot.  The papers and pre-coloured topper are from a very old set of papers bought years ago from QVC,  all I needed to add were some pearls, to define the corners, and Glossy Accents to give the glass a 'wet' look.

Make the most of the rest of the week.

Tournée du Chat Noir

Two similar cards today, both with a topper based on the poster Tournée du Chat Noir de Rodolphe Salis by Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, I just love this spiky little cat.

I used elements from a very old Kanban Crafts kit to make these cards.  I have a great stash of these kits from QVC, which have just been stacked upstairs gathering dust since I moved on to using digi stamps and Promarkers.  However, with the demise of my old desktop PC, I have dug out some of these old kits and started to give them my own design twists.  The Card Candy, silver mirri and glitter card are from my crafty stash.

Have a good day.

Flapper Girl

I have three cards for the price of one today.  This image of a very trendy Flapper is from an old kit by Kanban Crafts which I bought from QVC way back in the Dawn Bibby days.  The backing card and sentiments are also from Kanban, the ribbon, pear;s and Glossy Accents are from my stash.

The backing cards are beautifully highlighted with gold foil and I added Glossy Accents to her hair and I placed a few pearls around the design.

Hopefully, I shall be back with more cards tomorrow.

Penguin Parade

Christmas card number three, not a bad start to my pile of cards for this Christmas, 3 down just 97 to go.

These cute toppers with matching backing papers come from the Hunkydory kit 'Festive Fun' from their Adorable Scorable range.  I have tried to keep this card as flat as possible because I intend to send it through the post.  The ribbon is the only elements from my crafting stash.

Hopefully, I will manage at least one more Christmas card before July is out.

Say it With Hearts

If you have been paying attention, this card may look a little familiar. On Wednesday I posted a card I made for my husband's birthday. I loved the papers so much, I decided to use them again for another card, this time for a wedding anniversary card.

The papers and sentiment are all from a Kanban Crafts kit I bought many years ago from QVC. The gold gems are from my stash.

I hope you have a special day.

Goosey, Goosey

Yea, I have managed another Christmas card.  I have, once again, taken the elements from the  Hunkydory kit - Festive Fun, from their Adorable Scorable range.  This time I have given the card some dimension by popping out the frames around the pre-coloured image and raising them up with Pinflare Glue Gel.  The 'Seasons Greetings' sentiment and ribbon are from my stash.

Don't go far, more will follow.

Christmas in July 2022

Every year I promise myself that I am going to start my Christmas cards early and this year I really did mean it - ask my friend Mrs Beez.  Here we are in July, some of the hottest days on record for the UK, and I decide that this would be a good time to make a start on those Christmas cards.

I have, once again, reached for my Hunkydory kits, this one is Festive Fun from their Adorable Scorable range.  I have kept this card simple, so it can go through the post, all I to added to the elements from the kit was a sentiment from my stash.

Watch out for more Christmas cards.
