New Handmade Christmas Cards for Nov/Dec 2013

Hello Followers,

Here are some of my recent Christmas cards.  I love the Forever Friends Kraft Notes Christmas range, they are very cute, and the background papers are in lovely colour tones and very good quality.  My daughter asked me if I would make her 20 Christmas cards so here are a few of them:-

My second set of cards were made using the Me to You, Christmas Winter Wonderland paper and toppers.  I thought that I would use up some of this stock as I have quite a lot left over from when it was first launched.  My daughter was thrilled with them.

Lastly here are some of the charity christmas cards which I made last week using the Papermania Classic Christmas range I am very pleased with them. I took them to my local St. Oswald's Hospice shop, I hope they sell well for a very worthy cause.

Thanks for looking, and a Happy Christmas to Everyone! Jackie x.

New Handmade Cards for September/October 2013

Hello Followers,

Here are some of my new designs which I will be concentrating on for this month and next.  As usual I will be giving these to St. Oswald's Hospice shop to sell.

The first set of cards are small 4x4 note cards.  The background papers are from Dovecraft 'Back to Basics' and 'Tea Party'; the die cut is a Spellbinders die called 'Flower Burst' and the scalloped squares are from the Nestabilities range.  Inside the little flowers I have added a small self adhesive diamante to give them a little sparkle and finish them off nicely.

The next two cards are made using 'Back to Basics' papers and a Sizzix dress die.  The little shoes are punched out.

Hope that you like the new designs, thanks for looking, Jackie x

New Handmade Cards for July/August 2013

This month I have been concentrating on various bird cards.

The first card was made using the large bird Urban Stamp from Docrafts.  It is a lovely strong stamp and very easy to ink up,  The paper which  I stamped it  on was from the Forever Friends Kraft Notes 6x6 stack, I then used a small daisy punch in various colours to add to the background and finished off with small diamantes and sentiment stamps.

The second group of cards (displayed on my desk) were made using the 'Stampin Up' owl and bird punch, they always seem to be a winner each time  I make them.  The punch is ideal for using up little pieces of scrap paper.  This time I made them using various sizes of card blanks. the smallest being 4x4.

The final card was a 5x5, I thought it would be a good idea to have a go at putting two owls on it for a change!  I was very pleased with it.

Hope you like and thanks for looking, Jackie x

For August I have been working on some Lillibet cards which is a new range from Dovecraft  -  Lillibet is a cute little girl with her friends.

I purchased the 8x8 paper stack where some of the papers have images that you can use as toppers.  Some of the papers have a linen effect which gives a nice finish to the card.

I used long tall opalescent card blanks for a change and was very pleased with the results.

New handmade cards for June 2013

This month I am concentrating on using my new Cuttlebug, which my husband kindly bought me for my Birthday.

The first two cards are my first attempts at using it with the Memory box blossom die and polka dot embossing folder.  The background papers are from Basic Grey Urban Prairie collection pack.

My second attempt was using the poppy die and trellis die.

The next two cards were made using Hunkydory toppers from the Sparkling Pearl collection with Papermania background paper, and the last card was made using a Redhotbed floral topper and various scrap papers left over from other projects.

Thanks for looking,  Jackie.

New Handmade Cards for May 2013

For this month I have decided to concentrate on making various cards using the Forever Kraft Notes range.  The toppers and background papers are very pretty and such a nice colour palette.  The ones that are shown in the pictures have been given  to a St. Oswald charity shop.


I have also been busy with the new Gorguss range, using the mini notelets,  and papers.  I also used background papers from a Hot off the Press vintage range, which went really well, the colours were a perfect match.  These are now ready to go to another Hospice shop in Kent.

New Handmade cards for March/April 2013

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the delay in updating my website, as there was a technical problem, which has now been fixed.

I thought I would start off with a selection of Spring Chic cards from the Me to You collection which was released last year.  The toppers and papers are very pretty and lovely to use every time I bring them out.  These all went to a St. Oswald's Hospice  shop and did really well.

After that I made some Boofle cards which is another favourite of mine, which also sold really well.

Finally as it was Mother's Day this month I decided to make some rose cards, some of which I added Happy Birthday sentiments.  The various toppers came from an ebay shop  which were great value.  They turned out really well, and I was able to use up some of my old paper stock which was lying around.  I also used Fiskars lace border punch and x-cut punch to finish them off, then embellished them with gems.

Happy Easter!

New Handmade cards for Jan/Feb 2013

Happy New Year to all of my followers.



I thought I would kick off the New Year by making some cards using the new Country Companions range from Docrafts.

I have made these using the A4 Sunshine Meadows toppers and the A5 paper stack and sentiments.

Hope you like them.

The next group of cards are from the Beatrix Potter range featuring Peter Rabbit.

Lastly here are some Me to You valentine cards using With Love toppers and A5 paper stack.

Some of these cards are made using gift tags which go well with the paper.

Thanks for looking, Jackie.
