Mandy's Cards

I made this for a very good friend of mine. I used a pink happy birthday piece of cardstock as the background and stuck a piece of purple ribbon down the middle. Onto this I stuck 3 squares of purple handmade paper evenly spaced out. Next I glued 3 patterned hearts onto the purple squares and finally finished off gluing flat backed beads evenly spaced onto the purple ribbon.

I made this for my brother using gold cardstock. The lettering was from a "rainbow" set I had. The embellishments were bought from an online shop and these were quite fitting for my brother. The flag and phone embellishments were placed at the top and at the bottom in the middle of the card and the happy birthday in the middle of both of these.

This was made using blue patterned paper for the background and pink patterned paper for the side and top of the card. Onto this I stuck pink and blue bows, alternating between the two colours.

Onto the blue paper I stuck 9 flower shaped sequins in a number 6 shape and glued "pearls" onto the flowers.

I made this card using pink handmade paper as the main background. Onto this I stuck a piece of darker pink handmade paper. At the top of the smaller square I used a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY motif. The top left corner is embellished with a bow made simply from a piece of string. The bottom right is embellished using a cut out piece of cardstock. The top right and bottom left I decorated with tiny shells from my collection. The centre was embellished with a square piece of cardstock and onto that I stuck a patterned heart.

I was very pleased with this result.

I made this for my Mum's birthday.

I used pink polka dot paper for the background. I glued a HAPPY BIRTHDAY embellishment onto the top right corner and a "glass of wine" sticker onto the bottom left corner.

The MUM motif I made by cutting out the letter from patterned cardstock using scalloped scissors and I arranged them in a downward diagonal line.

I used blue gingham paper for the background and stuck a cardboard border to the top of the card. On the bottom left I glued 2 small bootees and on the bottom right I used a rubber duck sticker. The square embellishment at the top was made using 2 different shades and sizes of blue handmade paper. To the back of this I secured a building block sticker. I used a dufex "New Baby" sticker to finish.

For this card I used blue gingham paper for the background and laid cream paper on top. The bootee was made by cutting out the shape onto white felt. I stitched blue cotton round the outside of it and then stuck a small piece of blue ribbon onto the top of the bootee. For the tag I glued a piece of scrap paper onto a piece of white card. I used rub ons to make the word "baby". When the tag was finished I glued it onto the bootee. For the final touch I secured a white button onto the top of the tag.

This card was made using blue felt for the background. I used sticker ribbons for the borders. I had a beautiful "Baby Boy" ribbon in my stash and used that to cut diagonally across the card and finished off with a blue rabbit sticker in the bottom right hand corner.

I made this one for a friend's little girl. I used yellow chalk on the background. For the dress I used a template and traced onto handmade paper. I added the purple bow for an added touch.

I really enjoyed making this one. I love the red ribbon and red jewels. It's a simple card but beautiful I think.

We went away for the weekend with some friends, 2 of our children and our friend's children too. It was eventful! Glad to be home now. Now all I need to do is finish getting uniforms for school. Oh the joys. LOL

I am going to try to keep this blog updated on a regular basis. I will post pictures of my cards later when the kids are in bed.
