Glittery Mother’s Day card

I know, I know. I promised you this post and video last week, but life got busy and before you know it, another week had gone by…

Sorry, but I hope you understand ;)

I love this card. It was super quick, really easy and you all must think so too, cos I’ve sold quite a few of them to various folks this week. There’s still some available in my Folksy and Etsy shops for you folks in the USA to get ahead of Mother’s Day for you on 8th May.

Anyway, the video is below as usual. Please don’t forget to rate my videos and subscribe to me over at my YT Channel. Also, if you ‘follow’ my Facebook and Twitter pages, then you’ll always know when my next video/blog post is up.

Mother’s Day card

Some of my longer-time fans may recognise the top of this card from this post…

…but I loved this design so much, I decided to make it into a Mother’s Day card for this year. All you need to do is change the sentiment, and “ta-dah!” you have a great Mother’s Day card ready to go.

I keep several cards like this without a sentiment already stamped, so that if I’m stuck for an emergency card, I can whip out just one stamp and I have an instant card that doesn’t look at all rushed. Sneaky but perfect!

This card is available at my Folksy and Etsy shops and I do post them out within 24hrs of your order so you can be sure to get it in time for Mother’s Day. Any support is very much appreciated ;)

As I’ve been super busy putting in my new bathroom (which seems to be taking forever) as well as working full time, I don’t have a new video this week. Sorry, I’m just trying to do too much at the minute, but I am re-linking the video below that shows this card but with a Happy Birthday sentiment to tide you over in the meantime. I’m hoping to film my second Mother’s Day card design tomorrow night, so the video should be up in a few days. Thanks for your patience!

Butterfly Birthday

Quick post today – just wanted to show you a couple of cards for different occasions using a similar design.

It’s so easy to change a card design to suit your needs. Here I’ve just exchanged butterflies with hearts, and I have an anniversary card as well as a birthday card.

Super quick this way too, as you only have to think up one layout! =)

Flag Frame Birthday card

Ever get bored of the same old square/rectangular base cards? Well I thought I’d try something a little different and design a birthday card in the shape of a flag! No real reason, just thought it would be a cool shape to try!

This particular card is clearly for a feminine recipient, but the design could be easily customised into a very masculine card – even a patriotic card, which would be very timely with the Royal Wedding coming up next month =)

You could really go to town and totally bling it up, too. But that’s not my particular style, so you’ve got clean and simple from me as usual today, lol!

Don't you just love the way the card seems to hover in the air, because so little of it is actually touching the table top. Cute!

Video below – enjoy =)

Circle Wheel Card & Silhouette Studio Tutorial

This design is one which has been in my sketch book for ages, but I’ve just not got around to creating the die cut file. But I finally did it this weekend and also filmed the process as a Silhouette Studio tutorial as well as the usual video of how I make the card. So you get double the fun for today’s post =)

This design requires the above software. Please feel free to click on the image to take you straight to the download page of their website. If you have a Silhouette or a CraftRobo machine, you should be able to download and use this software as they are both the same machines, that (for some strange reason) are sold under different names in different countries.

I really like the design of the base card itself – the circle cut out create sort of a ‘wheel’ which would be great for making a masculine card with. I wanted to use girly papers for this though, hence the addition of the flower!

The only issue with these cards is creating an envelope! You have to create a square envelope and insert a square piece of card into the envelope before inserting the card itself. This is to ensure that the corners don’t get bent over during transit, which would otherwise make the overall effect a little scruffy to the person receiving the card.
