Different kinds of cards?

Just wanted to share some cards I made for one of my besties. I make all kinds of cards using all kinda of sources and images. She needed -

• A male wine themed card

• A male 40th birthday card themed for photography

• A lego card for a 9yr old

• A male 40th birthday card themed for pizza

• A pokemon card for a 9yr old

Free wine art download. Greeting using font Impact label white. Happy text is from "Script Words 2" die set from Altenew. Sequins from the stash.

Altered a CUP Kit  (called "Smile") to be an easel card and added 40 in cork numbers and greeting in Bernadette Rough font. Kit printed out onto kraft card rather than white. Wooden bling from the stash.

Lego game from artsyfartsymama.com, I downloaded it a while ago so not sure if it's still available but there are other free printables available.  The wheel spins round so you can choose a lego challenge. Font is Neuropolitical.

I altered another download from CUP called Supreme Pizza. The background was all a bit too black so I added some yellow and some of my own text in Breamcatcher font.

 Another download from CUP - Pokemon Mini Kit, just decoupaged it and added a greeting (Scoobydoo font) and some yellow star bling (from Paperchase). I also glossy accented their eyes!

Just wanted to share with you some of the different things I sometimes make using no polychromos at all! lol. :D

Baby Shower!

Love this super cute stamp set from Mama Elephant - Fly with me!

I was trying to make a pink and blue pastel baby shower card but all the colours came out much stronger than intended, lol!

I created a background with distress oxides and then made my own raindrop stencil and added texture with some glittery paste.

I coloured the stamps with copics and cut them out. I believe this stamp set has a matching set of dies tho, if you are tempted? I attached them to the card with 3D foam.

I added some diecut clouds (from Joy, might be my most used die set?) and a piece of vellum with my text on. Font is Breamcatcher. I buy printable vellum especially for this, now I know it exists! I have been wondering why I can't print on normal vellum for years, doh! :D

Another Pop-up Commission.

(Catchupmageddon Post) Another commissioned pop-up box card using illustrations from 1950-60 Patrol Books published by The Boy Scouts Association.

I was asked to make an 80th for a Boy Scout Master and the customer said she would like it as a box pop-up card. I hoped, by including lots of the pictures from the books, which are well drawn and often funny, it would bring back some memories for him too.

Kept to a black and white theme to make it cohesive. Font is Breamcatcher.

Thank Ewe!

Welcome to Dr Digi Friday..... on a Wednesday..... ! Oops! And to make up for the lateness here is the delightful Alice the Alpaca from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps!

Was this an excuse to do a whole beasts worth of curly hair? Yes... yes it was but... isn't she fabulous??!?? I have secretly had my eye on this digi since her release :)

I used polychromo pencils and a touch of glossy accents on her eyes and nose... and many, many hours, drawing tiny curls :)

I can't really claim ownership of the humour, it stems from this delightful ornament that I purchased because I thought it was an alpaca but the cashier was thrilled to correct me and tell me it was a lamb!

Here she is in the shop if you would like to add her to a card or project? (She's only £2!)

Background paper & Sequins from the stash. Font is Breamcatcher. Lamb Alpaca from Paperchase.(Probably for sale again next Christmas.)

17th birthday commission.

So trying to make cards to appeal to teenager boys is never easy.... but I am hoping I have done ok on this commission. I went for an "app" style layout and included his passions of "computers, music, keyboard and driving lessons".

I used a service called Freepik to make the icons on this card. I couldn't find a set that exactly fitted what I needed so I used artwork from several sets that I shall list below. As long as you credit the work to the right people you can freely use these images. This is my first time tho, so hope I have done it correctly!

Card for my BIL

Did a little watercolour picture from a photo of my nephew Riley and thought I would convert it into a birthday card for my brother-in-law (his Dad!). It was actually quite hard work making a card and leaving it so the painting could be removed if they wanted to keep it! (That's if they recognise it's meant to be him, lol!).

Close up of the watercolour.

Set of paper were from "Making Cards" magazine, a long time ago, but they've been a really useful boy set! Stars from Prima and Papermania. Font is "Breamcatcher" one of my fav fonts.
