Father's Day card for my dad

Here is the card that I have made to give to my dad for Father's day. I am in Elgin at the moment staying with Granda and Karen, but I will see my dad in the afternoon on father's day when I get home and will give him is card then.


Karen has printed out this digi image from Di's Digital Designs for me to use. I think this is a good card for my dad as he likes beer. I have coloured it in with copic and promarker pens and I have been using the bigshot again to cut out the circles with the nestbilities - I love doing this.

I have used the sketch this week at Sketch Saturday.

I hope that my dad likes his card.

Wedding card for Allsorts Challenge and Secret Crafter Challenge


I was staying with Karen and Granda in Elgin at the weekend and made a few cards while I was there. Mum had asked me to make a wedding card to send to a friend in London so Karen printed off some images for me and gave me some of her wedding papers to make this card.


I have used this lovely image from Pixie Dust Studios and the papers are by trimcraft I think. This is the first time that Karen has showed me how to use her bigshot machine and some nestabilities to cut the circles out - what fun that was.


The last time that I was making cards with Karen we used a sketch to follow and I have done this again this time and the one that I used for this card is the one at Allsorts. I am also going to enter this card at Secret crafter where they are looking for wedding cards.

Karen designed the little sticker for the back of my cards that says Handmade for you on the computer for me and has printed out 3 pages of them for me to take home with me.

I also found out that Karen has a magic white pen that I can use to cover up the bits where I have gone over the lines which makes my cards looks much better.

I also have another card that I have nearly finished and I will get it posted tomorrow.
