Glitter frame
This was the trail card for a glitter challenge, I used the dragonfly delight keepsake frames from Tonic Studio. While it fit the challenge fine, I finally chose a different card and am happy to add this to my card stash.

Embossed Flowers
When I made this card, I was thinking of the blackout embossing technique, however when I was doing some research, I found a site that instead of using the debossed side with black ink, they showed using the embossed side and colouring in the lower area with a black sharpie pen, so that the image really pops out. (This is not my idea, but I wasn't able to find the tutorial of the original idea again.) I embossed the flowers on a pink card and highlighted areas with ink. Then did the black areas and added some gold ink to where the stamens would be for some dimension. This technique should work with any type of embossing folder, but it does look great with the 3D ones.
Thanks for stopping by.

Make a wish Little Bunny
I have had this card pack for a while. It is a paper toile kit that I had purchased at a craft show many years ago. I thought it would be great for my Grandson's 1st birthday. The pieces are precut so you just separate them and add foam tape for dimension.

Double Concertina Stepper Card
I am calling this, an inspiration card as it is a birthday card for a friend who enjoys owls. The gorgeous owl is Gus from Lavinia Stamps. He is rather large, so he fills the card. I have used copic pens to colour him in. I went with a showstopper card style for inspiration from Sam Calcott - Made to Surprise - Double Concertina Stepper card
The card fold into a 5 x 7 envelope for postage. It is rather thick so you will need extra stamps for postage.
Thanks for stopping by.

3 Rainbow Unicorns
I made this for my Granddaughter who turned 3 last month. It is a slimline card and I went stash diving for some designer paper to create the background. I then stamped, coloured and fussy cut out the unicorns images.

Half hexagon box pop up card
This was my first interpretation of the of the Half Hexagon pop up box card (non-floating). There are many online tutorials for this design. I watched a few before making this in a 5 x7 portrait style. I used two panels of die cut flowers, when glued together they were rather heavy.
What I really needed was to add a strip of acetate behind for extra support, which I did with the next one I made, and you can see the link here. On the back I created a panel where you can sign the card.
