Choo Choo....

When I get the chance I like to make batches of children's cards, there always seem to be so many needed!

Here are a few I made with the set Choo Choo and right on track wheel.
Ink - basic gray, real red
Card - very vanilla and real red
Stamps - serif numbers, Choo Choo and stampin around wheel right on track
Corner rounder
Word window punch used for the sentiment and two punched in fed and layered behind create the mat. (sentiment from an SU set but can't find which one!)
Hope you like it!

Peppa pig

Not my idea! Borrowed from Julie Kettlewell - Julies Japes with a few adaptions eg I used the modern level punch to form her dress and word Windows for the Wellies.
I find punch art really useful on young children's cards as there don't seem to be lots of choices for the younger generation - hopefully some of the amazing stamp sets in America will make our way soon! Love those diggers!
Anyway... I digress!
Patterned paper (retired) was hostess special last year, mounted on pretty in pink.
3 is my go to serif numbers set.
Hope you like it!

Katharine and Ian wedding card

Here's a card I made for a lovely couple that I used to work with who got married recently.
For special occasion cards I like to up the layers - I think this is one way to make the card look like it has gone the extra mile!
It's an a5 card made using very vanilla and soft suede layers. I daubed the vanilla edges with soft suede ink for extra dimension and depth. One of the soft suede edges was created wither the border punch.
The hearts are made using the large heart punch and the letters are from a cuttlebug alphabet I own (although SU now have the Big Shot and very similar Timeless Type letters). I ran one of these through with an embossing folder to add the dots for texture, the other was stamped with the filigree heart from I heart hearts and then gold embossed.
The sentiment is from the great Tiny tags set and attached with gold elastic cord.
Hope you like it!

A birthday card for Isabella

Or Bella as my son calls her!
Lots of pink... perfect for a nice girly card!
Pretty in pink and melon mambo team really well with heart to hearts set and the watermarked 3 in the background is created by using versamark and the serif numbers set.

Embellishments come from the heart punches, melon mambo spotted ribbon (retired) and a little bling courtesy of the rhinestones.

Hope you like it!

Cupcake calculator!

 

I made this calculator cover to give as a gift to my newest Cupcake team member…. I took the sentiment from the all the stars stamp set as I thought it was a perfect phrase to inspire someone on a new business journey.

 

The calculator cost me 50p! 2 for £1 at Poundland! but a little cover jazzes it up a little :)
