Patchwork cards

Quilting a card is a fun way of using up those pretty scraps of paper you just can’t bear to let go and consign to the recycle bin.


Add some stitches with a pen/colour of choice and you’re off!  

It's a littler easier said than done but it's still easier than sewing an actual quilt!   

Those scraps too had to fit in with each other just right, and it took some fussing about with them before I was happy with the end image.     

I also added in an extra detail by overlapping a corner scrap, bottom left. 

I forget I'd need to add some text.  Luckily I had a blankish square I could use.  

I added the name with some red spangly letters and finished it off with a couple of cute flower toppers out of my stash.

Baby boom time

New baby on the block?

If yes, then here's a cute card to welcome a new baby.

Keeping it simple can do wonders for most things, card making included. 

Add some gems and ribbon, and low budget stickers are all you need to do the trick. 

Thanks...for all the fish

My first card with a quilled kitty.

Not too sure about the ballon as its a bit lumpy but I liked that I found a use for the flower topper the cat sirs on.

I managed to smudge the card and had to use a white pen to hide it. Hense the bits of white you can see.

It takes two

Another engagement and we're off again! This time the tail holds a balloon and another balloon has the ring.

 I like the ring better but not entirely sure the card tells the story I was going for, lol. The ring's not floating away, it's coming towards the cat!

Flower power

A quick birthday card I made at work for a friend.

I'm not the greatest artist but can manage a flower 😁 

I used pens I found in my desk drawer and added a pearl to the centre of the flower. 

Simple but effective.
