Congratulations


There are so many occasions to offer congratulations - wedding anniversaries, exam success, new jobs. I've stamped and embossed images and used stickers to make these cards. The shaker box allows the beads to move creating an intriguing rattle when the card is in the envelope.

Super Stamps

I was given lots of super stamps for Christmas. Here are some of the cards I've made using them. The background on the celebrate card was produced using a peel off sticker and sponging with bright coloured ink.


All these motifs were embossed after stamping. Holographic embossing powders give a subtle sparkle while shiny black looks elegant on the Rennie Mackintosh inspired card. Water colour pencils enhance details.

Wedding Collection


A whole range of custom made stationery for a family wedding. The theme colours of the day were blue, gold and cream.

Invitations - These were the first thing we came up with a design for and then we worked on this theme for the rest of the range.


Reply Cards - These were basically smaller versions of the invitations. The blue motifs are stamped in gold powder and then heated (so the powder melts) to give an embossed look.

Order of Service - The tassels really finish this piece off.


Menus - We made two of these per table. This design is very stable and just invites guests to look inside.


Place Cards - Individual place cards were also made, with gold calligraphy writing. There were eight different motifs we used and so we made sure that each person (on tables of 8) had their own motif.

Thank you Cards - These were the same size as the reply cards with a simple block of four motifs in the centre.


Box-gift - This is a special box, made on the same theme as the wedding stationery as a gift for the couple.

Graduation Red

The background of this congratulatory card is made by stamping and embossing the glittery mortar boards. The sparkly red paper and background set off the graduation robes perfectly.

Presents




Holographic embossing powder gives a subtle sparkle to the stamped present motifs in the background. The topper is embellished with flat backed crystals and finished with a quilled parcel.

Love Love Love


There are a lot of elements in this card which come together beautifully. The square shape of the card is highlighted by the ribbon border and this matches the mulberry paper mounting of the flowers. I love the fluffy effect that tearing the mulberry paper gives. The background is stamped, and coloured in pencil, as is the central motif.

Get Well Soon


A perfect card to send an unwell friend! The background and central motif are made using the co-ordinating stamps.
