'Evenin' All!'

Apologies all my recent posts have been rather quick on flying past - the end of my 'Quillathon' is nearly there!

Had rather a lot of commissions this month to add to the hectic time I've already made for myself.

This is for a dog loving friend whose partner is a policeman and was all a very specific request.

The back of the card is stencilled with paw prints - using ye olde technique of a lightbox! The Policeman is a 3D sheet I had from paper laughs I think.

The 3 dogs are from the Pepper and Friends range and all stamped individually, touched up with a little bit of colour (their dogs are brown and white) with copics and cut out.

1st Birthday

It is my niece Gemma's Birthday tomorrow. This sweet rabbit is a Marianne Design stencil called eline's cuddly animals, you get two in a pack - one to emboss and one to stitch. I have the giraffe, I borrowed this rabbit from a friend.

Stitched with white thread on pink card, good for using some thread bits and bobs, little pink ribbon added. Some Anita's crystals in the corners and layers of pink card for a girly theme.

Letters cut using stencils and Impress machine.

More Emerald!

Another Emerald card.

Managed a quick bit of quilling. Some flowers made from teardrops with little leaves and some scrolls between.

Couple of quilled hearts and a solid coil to place a '55' on.

Number and greeting were peel offs that I coloured to match the theme.

The flowers are made with lovely dutch paper that is edged with shiny green.

Time is flying by, still behind with my quilling and many commission requests keep flooding which I never like to turn away.

Never mind, just another week before I can have a rest!

Emerald Anniversary

So, finally sorted the Emerald Anniversary card - thanks to Val for her suggestion it was green!

There was a requirement for it to be 8x8" and have specific wording on it.

I chose the above design (adapted from the wedding cards I have also done in this style) because I think it is quite effective and isn't too flowery etc.

Tags punched out in different shades of green card, some with a parchment tag over the top, selection of heart punches etc and a touch of golf!

Must try one of these tag cards in a different theme sometime.

Giraffes

Well, haven't really been near any quilling all weekend which is no good for anything really!

Made all sorts of cards on request though, including 15 invitations for my Godsons upcoming 2nd Birthday party!

The stamp is from a Woodware clear set called Jungle Pals - isn't he cute?

Coloured him simply with copics and layered to suit the card and make him stand out.

Invitation stamp is from a DOCrafts Forever Friends set that I also touched up with a yellow copic and layered.

A slight distraction but I was quite pleased with the result and look forward to the soft play birthday party!!

Buzz

Today is the birthday of my nephew Toby - you might be able to tell he is rather a fan of Buzz Lightyear at the moment!!

For this 8x8" card I used a sheet of Toy Story wrapping paper and cut out 2 images which I mounted on card to make them a bit stronger. The bottom layer was stuck on card to match the background, then mounted on some white for contrast.

Message and number were cut out using my impress machine, the '3' mounted on the SU oval punches.

Squiggles and stars to finish off are peel offs from the stash.

Another Wedding!

And the same again while we are on a roll!

Colour to match bridesmaids etc and an Anita's stamp for 'Wedding Wishes'.

Everything else very similar to the last post!!
