Congratulations On Your Wedding Day!

 Hi Everyone,

This week I was commissioned to make a card for a colleagues wedding. 

I really wanted to do a floating panel card as I knew it would give the wow factor when the recipient opened it. 

But the problem was I wanted to make it big.....8 inches by 8 inches big. 

All the tutorials I found on You Tube were firstly measured in centimeters and only approximately 5 inches x 5 inches size. 

Tricky but with a little math and a few tries I managed to make a perfect prototype 8 inches by 8 inches big!

The now husband said is wife to be loves sunflowers and wildlife so I knew I had the perfect digital kit in my stash.   

I found out later that the wedding incorporated a bohemian style theme and I think this card really fitted in, I must be psychic 😊

I wish you both a very happy long marriage

I have just purchased a new printer and the colours are absolutely amazing, I love it.

Happy 60th Birthday Angela

 Hi Everyone, 

This week is my one of my dearests friend Angela's 60th birthday.

I wanted to make obviously a handmade card and also a special gift!

I have recently been hypnotised with candle making so I thought why not give that a try. As a crafter there is always something I don't have and want to try!

I hope/know she is thrilled too bits with the card and gift, and I was honoured to be able to do my very first candle bouquet for her.

Happy 60th Birthday Ang 💖


First Love Always Is Card Making!! xx

There are 3 things that he loves in life and that's our dog, his truck and me, in that order!

So I set to work making a card I took a picture of his truck that he is restoring and put it into chat gbt to turn it into a drawing. 

Oh my was I surprised the way it came out, I was thrilled with the results! 

Then I decided to put our dog Ceelo in the picture and again the results where brilliant!
