Floral Craft Sunflower

Hand made Floral Punch Craft card, the flower was made with a mega daisy punch by Punch Bunch a 5 corner Flower by Punch Bunch and a small Sakura Punch made by Carla.
I started by using the rubber stamp set Spiral Bouquet by Papertrey Ink and stamping the base card using Palette Inks I used the Nestabilities to cut out the scalloped and plain circles then layered them together.
I made up the sunflower and added the leaves after painting them, the craft punch leaves are Dusty Miller, Ivy and Leone Em's Ash leaves

Flippn' Men Cards


Just a few more examples of the Flippin' Men by La Pashe

With these cards I covered the specially designed triple fold aperture cards with scrapbooking paper. The reason the Flippin Men Cards are different is not only the large size, they have a spine down either side of the aperture, the reason for the spine is so that the inside of the decoupage won't get crushed.

Baby Card

This special baby card is the most beautiful card in the world. Just ask any grand parent and they will tell you that it's true.
Lauren went for her first scan on Tuesday afternoon and came straight over to show me the scanned image.
Baby Anderson is 12 weeks and 1 day out of 40 weeks keeping warm by my Daughter Lauren. This is Laurens first baby and she just can't wait.
During the scan they noticed that Lauren has got a double Uterus.
If you click on the large scanned image you can even see the baby's eyes.

Vintage Lady Stamped Card

A Stamped Vintage Lady card, the card base is a pre printed A4 card folded in half, I still love Vintage cards and often drift back to this style when I need some inspiration, I love working with inks and getting my hands dirty, so, Tuesday I will be going to work sporting green inky fingers.


The lady is a rubber stamp by Stampsmith she is one of Shakespeare Heroins, I used green distress ink by Ranger to stamp the image then tore around the edges and used the same ink to distress by ponging the ink on the edges of the image.

It was this stamp that inspired the card as I think she is just so beautiful.


I punched out some flower shapes in cream and green card then used wet glue on the petals and dipped them into crushed glass glitter, I have 2lbs in weight of this glitter to use up ha ha ha.




This is a rubber stamp flower stamped onto acetate then cut out, I then wrapped the threaded beads onto a large gold brad and then poked the brad through the acetate and secured the beaded flower onto the card with a glue dot.
