BABY RYLIE CARD
Here's a card I made yesterday for my Fiance's niece who's due date is mid January but apparently the baby is likely to be born within a week.
The cute Teddy Bear topper is from Crafter's Companion's Mulberry Wood CD, the card shape template and the box are both from My Craft Studio's Encyclopaedia.
I would like to enter this card in Joanna Sheen's Blog Challenge 'New Beginnings'. http://joannasheenchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/

FAIRY QUEEN GROTTO CHRISTMAS CARD
I made three of the six cards from Debbi Moore's Christmas Fairy Grotto Cards CD Rom, the Rose Fairy (in an earlier post), Poinsettia (will be added tomorrow) and this one, the Fairy Queen.
As with all the Art Deco themed cards by Debbi Moore, I added lots of glitter and gems and I put a battery operated T-light inside.
As you can see; I made a matching box to present it to the recipient (my sister) in.

ART DECO CHRISTMAS CARD
Just made a Christmas card for my niece, featuring a lovely Art Deco lady which is the artwork of Gordon Fraser, a very talented artist.
I added gold glitter to the 3D poinsettia and the border and, of course, to the jewellery and finished off with a few flat back pearls. This is truly stunning, love the artwork.
The lovely mini kit does not contain an insert so I did my own in my graphics programme by simply deleting the lady from the centre and adding my own text.
HOLLY & SNOW SCENE 8 X 8 CARD
I have just finished my last few Christmas cards.
This one has decoupage, I've added fine glitter for the snow and also added some green and red flat back pearls.
The colours are really vibrant and the finished card is lovely.
If you're interested you will find the kit at this link: craftsuprint.com
The kit did not contain an insert so I have made my own using the card topper in my graphics programme.

Mountain Bike Stepper Card
I made this centre stepper card using a decoupage sheet from Craftsuprint.com, the artist is Gordon Fraser who does a lot of artwork for Debbi Moore Designs.
On The Shelf Wedding Card
I was asked to make a wedding card so chose this one, an On The Shelf style card.
I added lots of large flat back pearls, an organza ribbon bow, a net butterfly, wedding rings embellishment etc. The person who ordered it was really pleased and even paid me a bit more than what I quoted (which was nice) and the married couple apparently loved the card too.

CHRISTMAS ROSE GROTTO CARD WITH LIGHT
This is a card that I recently made using Debbi Moore's Christmas Grotto Cards CD rom. I have added an LED colour changing light to the centre which happens to look like a rose. This card may look complicated but it is extremely quick and easy to make, the most time consuming part was choosing which one of the six cards to make first and applying plenty of glitter.

TIGER CUB STEPPER CARD
I just had to put this card on my blog as it features an adorable tiger cub. The card kit had just a flat main topper, I pyramaged it in MCS. I added some pretty holographic border and flourish peel-offs.

MOTORBIKE ON THE SHELF CARD
I was asked to make a special card for an 18th birthday, the guy is mad on motorbikes so I thought this would be fitting.
Celtic Fairy Stepper Rocker Card
This is another card I've recently made featuring a pretty Celtic Fairy that has both pyramage and decoupage, I've added lots of glitter to her wings and some gems to the celtic frame.
PRETTY ROSES
This is a card I have just finished making, sadly the photo doesn't really do it justice. The roses are all decoupaged, the main two bottom ones have five layers, I added iridescent glitter to the butterfly and a couple of flourish die cuts.

LILAC CLOCK CARD
This is a stunning card, I have added loads of lilac gems, it folds flat for posting and comes in matching envelope. The clock face is several layers of pyramage (the numbers are lined up, it's just the angle the photo is taken from makes it looks as though they are not). This is for sale, along with many other cards I have on my blog, if interested please message me. This comes with several sentiments including birthday and retirement.
TIGER CARD
I suddenly had a thought - I don't have any cards on my blog featuring what I am so passionate about - TIGERS so here's the first of no doubt many more to come in the future.
This has a bow front, lots of dimension but folds completely flat so ideal for posting.

I have joined the Design Team of my friend Sheila's Challenge, here are the samples I have made for her new challenge starting today.
For more info on this challenge please click the link: http://craftcreatoins.blogspot.co.uk/p/winter-challenge.html

This is from Joanna Sheen's Time's Gone Bye CD rom, it's in the shaped cards section.
I added Glossy Accents to the cat's eyes making them look very realistic. I added My Craft Studio's Frost to the snow.
This is an extremely cute image from Joanna Sheen's House Mouse Winter decoupage pack.
I added a variety of flower embellishments and lovely purple mirror card.

GOLDEN RETRIEVER ANNIVERSARY CARD
I had a request to make an anniversary card for a couple who share their home with their golden retriever dogs. It took me a while but I found this lovely photo of golden retrievers dressed in wedding outfits which I thought was rather fitting for the occasion.
THOMAS KINKADE CHRISTMAS CARD
Here's a card I have made using the Christmas CD rom from Joanna Sheen's Thomas Kinkade 3 CD rom set.
I matt and layered the image onto gold mirror card then onto brown pearlised card, added strips of gold satin ribbon to the corners and gold gems. This beautiful image by the late Thomas Kinkade was crying out for some glitter, as you can see there's plenty on it, as well as me and my cat who loves to sit on my desk and help me craft!

MERRY CHRISTMOUSE
Here's a card I've just made using the Christmas Mice CD rom by Fee J Designs.
I printed the decoupage sheet onto glossy photo paper and made up the decoupage, I added sequin waste to the background for a festive look.
(yes I did notice the error when it was too late - I missed the gap between the mouse's tail and foot - it should be blue lol). Hopefully the recipient won't notice!

FISHING CARD
I made this card a few months ago now but I really enjoyed making it so I'm adding it to my blog. Some of front elements are decoupaged and have glossy accents added to them.
It's an A4 sized card, I'm fortunate to have a great A3 printer which takes 300 gsm card without any problems. I printed all parts onto hammer card so the card is lovely and sturdy. There is a panel on the back for a verse and greeting.
