Commissioned Card

Afternoon Bloggers,

I am stopping by with a quick post to show you a commissioned card I was asked to make by a neighbour earlier today. The spec was Horse Racing and then 'whipit ricky' somewhere on the card.

Here is what I came up with

It is a 8x8 cardwith a 1/2 fold front. I created the backing papers in Do Crafts digital designer and the images I downloaded from google. I also created the sentiment in Do Crafts designer. Just a simple card and she was really happy with the finished product so thats always a bonus lol

New baby card 'Twins'

Good Afternoon blog land,

Well as promised earlier I am back to share with you a card I have just made for a friend who had twins on Friday. She had a girl and a boy so I decided to make a double gate fold card so I caould do it 1/2 blue and 1/2 pink.

I used papers from the Forever Friends 'New Beginning' range. I also used the spots and dots embossing folder then just lightly rubbed some ink over the top, I used Centura pearel card for this.

The tags I printed off from the Boofle cd rom using my Docrafts digital designer so that I could add in the baby's details.

I have used both Pink Gem baby papers and digi images for the inside of my card as I wanted to make the prams 'pop out' when you opened the card.

I wanted this to be more than just another New Baby card I wanted it to be more of a keepsake. I hope I have achieved this.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

ABC Challenges - No Flowers

Created with love challenges - anything goes

The cutie pie challenge blog - anything goes

Tammy's scrapping corner - anything goes
