Card making

As well as cross stitch i do enjoy making cards so found that combining the two is even more fun, here are some pictures of the cards i have made.

 This is my most recent card which i used the gorjuss pyramid die cut decoupage and the backing paper provided. I love the effect that it creates, think i will be using this style of card making for other cards. I found some light silver card and used a wooden stamp for the happy birthday sentiment and embossed. I am pleased with this as i have found card making difficult in the sense that i dont feel artistic lol.

 This is a birthday card i have made for my partner using a cross stitch card design which provided backing papers and then used some peel offs for the happy birthday sentiment.

 This is another birthday card that i made for my grandma who adores westies so luckily a magazine had a little design of one and i used some 11ct aida that i had spare to make the design bigger. The backing paper with the paws i found a while back and am so pleased i bought them as it works well. Again the happy birthday sentiment i embossed. (i quite like embossing).

 Another birthday card that i used 11ct aida and changed the colours to fit what threads i own and got given the metalic backing papers which i think work well. and then layered it up with the card underneath the cross stitch.

Right thats me for now shall update with more later :)

  1. I love all your card designs and think your decoupage one is very effective. Keep up the good work!
