A Card and a Box

A birthday card I made for a challenge to make something for a 'celebration'. I used something I got as a free gift over a year ago but had never used. It's a 'cut and emboss folder, and I used it for the cream background piece. The only additions are a dark brown mat, a die cut butterfly and a pre-printed sentiment.

And now a first attempt at a cantilever box.

Closed and ...

Open. Unfortunately, mine doesn't stand up by itself when open, so I suspect I did something wrong and need to go back to look at a tutorial. Still, I'm not too unhappy.

Tricia's Circular Card

The most recent challenge on one of my design teams was to make something that was neither a square nor a rectangle, and I decided to make a circular card. I've used stamps for the central section, and die cut some doily layers using a celtic knotwork die set, and finished with some tiny die cut flowers.

Adrienne's Shell Frame

Adrienne said, 'The large shell I did a while ago and the photo frame was this week. The shells were too big for this frame and the decorating on both wasn't the best but you have to start somewhere. It's all a good learning experience.'
