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

CUP

I have spent a bit of time creating a new Crafts U Print Gallery for my blog. Sometimes when I am struggling for new ideas, or want something straightforward in a kit format, I pop there and buy a few  projects.

CUP Gallery!

I always felt like using kits was a bit like cheating but tbh, they take a fair amount of time to make up, I often fully customise them so they fulfil my remit a bit better and sometimes I'm just paying for the artwork to use in my own way. 

So perhaps not as much cheating as up-cycling?

On CUP I struggle to find projects that suit my tastes, and may be like me you have been overwhelmed by the choice and difficulty in finding things you really like? Perhaps you will spot something in the gallery you like and it'll save you some time browsing on CUP, where I promise you, there are lots of nice things,  you just have to find them!

CUP - Sheds.

Needed a couple of quick Shed cards, and don't mind buying card kits off CUP sometimes. It's easy but there's a lot of time required to cut it all out. Here are a couple of different shed cards I made.

This one was for my Father-In-Law on Father's Day. The front of the card, flat and closed.

And when you open the door it becomes a 3D room that stands up! I love the technology in this card!

And then I made another one for a Birthday Card commission. They donate to Comic Relief rather than give presents so I also had to include a little Pudsy Bear somewhere!
