Another CAS commission.

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs.

A friend asked me to make a Friendaversary card for and 18 year old young man, and here is what I came up with.

Here is the card, inside and out.

I used my usual white linencard, folded and cut to 7x5.

Own photogrph of beer bottles, printed onto same linencard, sentiment added, then cut with my brand new Die-namics fishtail dies, them mounted onto sticky foam squares to add depth.

Card candy from stash to finish.

Inside stamped with Personal Impressions stamp and I added the little sentiment with a stamp from the same set :o)

8x8 commissioned card, own photographs

Good morning Bloggers, I hope that all is well in your world...hugs

When I went in to work at teatime yesterday it was positively mild, when I came out about 10pm it was -2C and I had to scrape the car Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

My card for today is a commissioned 8x8 70th birthday card which had to feature fishing and booze! So, out came the photographs and I had a little play in PSP and PSE5 and here is the result, front and inside.

I took the photograph of the anonymous man fishing on the Erewash canal at Long Eaton several years ago and used the cookie cutter tool in PSE5 to give himDie- the swirly frame.

The trout at the top inside was taken at Lathkill dale about 5 years ago and the pike at the bottom was taken at Cromford Wharf even more years ago.

Computer generated sentiments using Dauphin font, cut with Die-namics stitched fishtail die.

Fishy stamps from a very old SeeDs set and beer stamp from Personal Impressions. The customer wont see it before tonight so I hope she likes it!  :o)

8x8 Christmas wreath card

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all well or getting there...hugs

At our Friday evening crafty get together I saw one of my friends making a Christmas wreath and decided that it was time I had a try. This is the result, I hope you like it :o)

It took forever to make the wreath but I am happy with it. It is 6" across and seems to sit nicely within the embossed frame!

The card is from a Papermania pack . 8x8 is the only size that I buy pre-scored, I usually make my own!

For the wreath, I cut a circle from plain white card using the two largest of my nestie circles.

Then comes the tedious bit, punching all the leaves! Pine type leaves cut with McGill punch and holly leave with a Personal Impressions punch. Berries are whit pearls coloured with copic pen :o)
