Birthday Card for Lucy...

I made this card last year for Lucy's 2nd birthday.  (She is one of our grandchildren's cousins.)

The topper and backing paper are from one of the CC's "Popcorn Bear" CDs.

The balloons and presents were made from peel-offs that had been put onto card, coloured and then cut out.

(This year I made her card using a Sarah Kay decoupage topper - must upload the photo of this sometime.)

Anniversary Card...

Here's an anniversary card that I made a few months ago for my cousin to give to friends.

Again, the decoupage is from one of CC's Reddy collections.

The base card is CC's Ivory Centura Pearl and the embossing folders are Cuttlebug's "Swiss Dots" and "D'vine Swirls".

Birthday card for a friend...

I made this card in September for a friend's birthday.

This photo was taken before the card was put in its envelope.

Unfortunately, the card wasn't too happy about standing up properly after being in the envelope!

I'd used glue gel to assemble the card and the combined weight of this and the matts and layers proved too much for the linen effect base card that had been used.  (Note to self: use Centura Pearl or Stardream card for the base card next time I'm making this style of card as it will be sturdier!)

Anyway, after the birthday I did some modifications and created a support from stiff card for the reverse/unseen side of the card and it now stand ups nicely. 

The modifications are somewhat permanent and the card doesn't fold down now but my friend's pleased with the result.

The decoupage is from one of CC's Reddy collections, Core'dinations card is from the Nostalgia pack and the embossing folder is Cuttlebug's 'Victoria'. 

A quick card...

Here's the card I made for DS and DIL's wedding anniversary last month.

The decoupage is from CC's Cream Quackered collection and I'd already made this up so the card didn't take too long to put together.

They don't like fussy cards and this one was well received.
