February 2011 “reader’s card/project of the month” is made by Julie 
WOW I have become card of the month winner on Joanna sheen's news letter  with this card I made for a special friend. www.joannasheen.com  

peter rabbit

A very belated Happy New Year to one and all, Sorry i am a rubbish blogger!!
For this card I decided to use a different approach  compared to my previous cards.
I have used nit wits papers which i have layered,  Along the bottom I have used my Martha Stewart punch.  A satin ribbon was layered along the bottom. The corner  and flower dies are from Marianne design  creatables. The sweet peter rabbit decoupage is from a crafters companion CD.

Faerie poppet

Using faerie poppets decoupage I made this card for my dear niece. I have also used creatables dies for the flowers and a stencil by Erica Fortgens for the embroidery and embossing which i am afraid to say is on the blurry side thanks to my scanner!!!!! Grrr...

what a winter

I couldn't resist sharing this photo with you all He looks so comical  poking his head  up from the 3 foot of snow in my garden

Another one of Elines 

cute decoupaged images

for my 2010 Christmas cards.

Not happy with the scanned image 

though.Seems to be scanning blurred.

christmas 2010

Same as before, but this time
I have used a free
download background paper, called winter wishes, courtesy of www.papercraftinspirationsmagazine.co.uk

merry christmas 2010

I think these papers and stencils go well with this layout
I have  used a background paper from a joanna  sheen cd, elines snowmen  decoupage,embossed a joy stencil using a light box but
cheated with the spotty embossing using a cuttlebug.

For this Xmas card i used a joy stencil for the bauble
which was matted onto red glitter card. The corner
of the white base cardstock was embossed using a merry Xmas stencil form Marianne. The sweet decoupage  image is from Marianne too!

Tad late Starting- My 1st 2010 Xmas card!

It has took some time deciding how i am going to make my Xmas cards. For my first one i have used a Joy stencil and decoupage by Marianne.The poinsettia was made using a creatables die

football crazy

I could not resist this image from flower soft which  i have decoupaged, I also used a papermania embossing folder with my cuttlebug to complete the layout i have used a punch to create the spots

fathers Birthday

No i haven't gone Nutty!!!  but My Dad Whom  i made this Birthday card for  likes his nuts so I thought it quite appropriate.I have used House of mouse decoupage from Joanna sheen and a stencil i have used before from Marianne.

For my sons Birthday !

For My Sons Birthday I decided to use his company Logo Hence the monkey Which i Decoupaged and matted then for the background i embroidered the scrolls and used a papermania embossing folder with the cuttlebug .I couldn't resist the monkey nuts !!

I made this for a friend who has just turned 50.I used the same Marianne stencil as before but to create a different look cut away the inner to make more of a frame for the decoupage.

wedding

Instead of scanning this spring card i tried my new camera little on the dark side probably better to try in natural daylight . I made this for a relative that has a wedding coming along . I purchased the paper from a craft shop in louth that is having a closing down sale with 30 % off !!

This card was made for a friend who has just become a very proud Nana, i used elines decoupage and a stencil by Marianne designs i am afraid the scanner does not do the spring card any justice as it has squashed it completely flat and it has lost its Spring.

get well

Today i finished this get well card for a friend

I used popcorn bear decoupage,

from the popcorn kids CD, from crafters companion,

and a old template from the star collection,from Marianne design the card was folded four times to make this concertina style card. I made the flowers as before using creatables stencils.

Made especially for a lovely summery fathers day.Using another passe-partout embossing stencil from Marianne and Joanna sheen's gruffies decoupage

house mouse

on this card I have used a different stencil

called open passe-partout by Marianne design . also used stickle's glitter glue on the decoupage

The flowers were die cut on a cuttlebug with

creatables stencils

Another House mouse decoupage for my collection !!

I made this decoupage monkey card for another cheeky little monkey-- my grandson who will be 5 on Wednesday.
