4 x Heart Card

This card is one I was asked to make for a gentleman recovering from quadruple heart bypass surgery.  At first I wasn't too sure about it but apparently it went down well. As it was going to be signed by a lot of people I had to make sure to leave enough writing space inside.

Lacey Squares Double Easel

Following on from my Oriental card yesterday I decided to have a play around using the wonderful LOTV cute squares (again) and as you can see I've gone for my favourite colour. There's a tiny touch of glitter added to the images. I need a card for a friend's special birthday and I'm hoping this one will fit the bill. I'm not sure I've got an envelope to fit but that's not too much of a problem because I can always make one using my MS scoreboard.

The cute squares fit perfectly onto the largest size Lacey Square.

Hello and hope your weekend is going well. At last I've managed to make a card and here it is, quick and simple, using chipboard shapes and sentiments and not much else really. Wish all my cards could be so speedy.

Change of Colours

So the card I made today is a definite departure from lilac or pink - I've gone for yellow and brown to tie in with another one of the LOTV cute squares. Don't think I'm ever going to get fed up of these and already planning my next purchase!

Ruby Card

I was asked to make a card suitable for a Ruby Anniversary and this easel card was nice to do and seemed to come together quite well (for a change!).

Trio of cards

Just a quick post today with some more 'old' cards. I'm suffering a bit this evening as I've been at to the hospital today to have a tooth out. I'm a bit of a wimp really as far as dentistry concerned so quite glad it's all done. Hope your day has gone well.

As you can see the first two are just plain white cardstock that has been through the Cuttlebug and then mounted onto coloured card. Butterfly done with XCut punch. The DP on the right-hand card is, I think, K&Co. Ribbon and Gems from stash.

Thanks for looking.

Cute Squares again

These LOTV Cute Squares really are great. I can see I'm going to have to order more. So here's a pink and red card for today. I used Core'dinations card for the lacey square and punched border. First outing too for my new MS Valentine Hearts punch.

I've tried to get a close-up of the lovely K&Co flower which has a corduroy fabric centre.
