65

A 65th Birthday Card for a friend
the bus is a vintage Lincolnshire coach as he was born in that county
I printed the greeting and the bus image on photo paper,and then cut with Nestabilities labels layered with green gloss card and gold card ,number 65 is from Quick kutz Studio set.

Champagne Bottle

I was asked to make a card for someone who  works a lot with Fairtrade and is moving on to a new position,  I cut a bottle shape from black card folded to DL size,and used the 4 colours of the Fairtrade logo in an Iris fold square for the label ,the little tag is done with Quick kutz

80th Birthday

80th Birthday card for my Brother in law

it is Kanban card with the ship image

I wrapped brown garden twine around the image and used vintage brad corners,the 80 was cut from Quickkutz Studio dies 

R---Red

I made this for my two best friends from school for their Ruby Wedding,
it is a deep red DL card with red vellum overlaid embossed with Cuttlebug Paisley, I cut a strip of red glitter card with scallop scissors to hide the join on the vellum as the cuttlebug can only do small pieces ,and punched a heart from the glitter card with a large Woodware scalloped heart ,the 40 is Quick Kutz Studio font and I added some red organza ribbon round the side of the card

N---New

Letter N for the Alphabet Challenge is to use something New,
I have used some spotty card with a Quick kutz Revolution Flourish cut from Quick Strips adheive card

L--Lilac

L is for Lilac this week
I used lilac card covered with flower printed acetate ,Quickkutz flowers cut from lilac sparkly card with white brads in the centre and sticky lilac ribbon down the side

Letter A

The Alphabet Challenge is starting again and the first one is to make a decorated letter A
I used Quickkutz Studio for the letters ,fairy background paper and a fairy diecut

Q for Quickutz

Q is for Quickutz for this week's Alphabet Challenge,
die cut train and track,a peel off border for the rail and tiny dot peel offs for the smoke, peel off letters coloured with peel off pens to match

Pink with Acetate

I have had this acetate for a while and not used it because I wasn,t sure what I would do with it ,I got it in some swap bits and I think it is a Dawn Bibby design
when I was using my Quick Kutz I realised that the poinettia die was almost the same as the flower shape so I cut some from pink glitter card,found some pink card and trimmed the edge with victorian edge scissors ,then I stuck a strip of the glitter card on the inside edge,fastened the flowers with silver brads onto the acetate,then stuck that on the side of the card and slipped some adhesive ribbon underneath to hide the sticky tape.
