This was a card for a family friend who LOVES fishing and was turning 60...he was very impressed and even knew the fish stamp was of a barramundi.

I taught card making classes for a couple of ladies, a few years ago...sadly it didn't continue. I loved their enthusiasm and amazement that they could copy what I made, for themselves. This was one of the sample cards....

This was a card I made for my fiance birthday. He is a cabinet maker, so uses tools all the time. He was very happy with this creation. The tools are quite solid, made of some type of metal - not plastic.

Here's another one using the same layout, but paper flowers and different colours.

Made this awhile ago, still love the layout. I made it up myself, but I am sure someone else has made a card like this before. The rose buds are real too.

Surprise for me....I just found this on my computer and I don't remember making it! Do I really make that many cards??? Well you can guess that it is another...Papertrey! The patterned paper is from Everyday Blessings, the cardstock is Spring Moss and so is the satin ribbon. The flower is from Beautiful Blooms and stamped once onto Spring Moss and once onto white cardstock and then cut and mounted. This time I used a crystal/rhinestone for the centre. Happy Birthday sentiment from Birthday Basics. Enjoy.....

Birthday Card for my mum...
All items are from....yes Papertrey! On the front of a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" white card, I scored a line along each edge as a frame. I cut a square out of the centre and glued a piece of vellum on the inside. I then cut four 1" squares from Pink Patterns patterned paper and mounted onto the vellum. Cut 2 slits into the left side of cards and threaded Berry Sorbet Polka Dot ribbon. The sentiment is from Birthday Basics and the large flower from Beautiful Blooms was stamped twice, once on Berry Sorbet cardstock and once on Sweet Blush cardstock and cut with fine point scissors. Then repeated for the smaller flower. Then just layered on top of each other and finally onto centre of card, with a half pearl to finish it off nicely!!

Yet another Papertrey card. I used Papertrey Berry Sorbet to stamp 'leaf' background around card edge, this stamp and the 'verse' are from the Papertrey Spiral Bouquet set. Cardstock background Papertrey Berry Sorbet and patterned paper from Papertrey Pink Patterns. The ribbon is also Papertrey Berry Sorbet in Twill. The flower is not a brand, just my stock, but matched perfectly.

Quickie card....
This was made printing off the Papertrey sample of Guidelines patterned paper. I used Papertrey Plum Pudding cardstock for the mount. I then used Papertrey Lavender Moon Satin Ribbon and a Prima flower. The only stamping is from the Papertrey Out on a Limb sentiment set.

More Papertrey.....

Sorry didn't photograph this card very well. Sometimes in my haste to give my cards, I actually forget to take a photo - oh I get so disappointed........ This is Papertrey using their Spiral Bouquet set and the flower from Beautiful Blooms. The patterned paper is from Everyday Blessings paper pad and the ribbon is Spring Moss - Swiss Dot Satin. (It doesn't show well, but the card is a 6"x6" and the front was scored in the centre and folded back to the centre fold.)

Papertrey

This is a Sympathy card using Papertrey stamps from their Beautiful Blooms set. The poem was printed onto vellum and glued on top. Colours used are Berry Sorbet and Spring Moss.

A card I made many years ago . From memory it's a Penny Black flower and I made the 'frame' with a EK Success corner punch. The poem was printed on vellum and glue on top of the stamped image.

This one is an "oldie". The stamps are from Victoria's Secret (no not the underwear!) Not sure what inspired me, but I was very happy with the end result.
