Lady in Red.. or is it burgundy.. well pinkish burgundy.....

This is such a lovely topper sheet from Kanban.  I've had it in my stash for ages... but you know when you get a design that you really like that you don't want to use it, because then it's gone and you can't admire it any more!  Well today was the day to be brave and use my elegant lady topper. 

I mounted it onto a fuschia pink mirri card - which mirrors the foiling on the dress perfectly.  I then added a Kanban background card behind - of course it has been cleverly cut so that it doesn't go the whole way behind (what and waste 2" of lovely cardstock.. oh no!)  The flowers and butterflies are all from the same sheet, as is the greeting.  It's mounted onto an 8x8" card - and really looks an elegant card.

The Mother's Day Collection

A whole collection of cards for you today...  I thought I would share some of the other cards I made for the shop for Mother's day.  They feature toppers and papers from Hunkydory, Kanban as well as other papers in my stash.

Hope you like them!

My favourite one is the cupcake card.. not just because it features cake, but I love the colours!  The picture doesn't do the pale aqua with silver foil spots justice!

Pretty Fold up Cards

I had a very productive crafting session last Wednesday and made lots of cards - but for a change they are all using backing papers and toppers from Kanban or Hunkydory.  I thought it would be nice to make some fold up cards for a change.
The teacup card topper is from the bumper pack from Kanban (we still have the bumper ladies and bumper mens packs available - contact us for info!).  Both the topper and the card is from the same pack and the colours are just lovely!

The floral topper is again from the ladies Kanban set, but the backing papers are from an old K&Co paper pack I had in my stash.  I like the combination of the old style papers with the punchy topper design.

It makes a change that I finish a crafting session with clean hands...  no ink at all!!
