Boxed Cards to Sell

The girls at work keep asking when I'm going to bring in some homemade cards for them to buy, so I decided i'd make some Christmas cards to take in. I did four cards each of five different designs and boxed them up together. They were really well received and I managed to sell them for £10 a box, which I was really pleased with!





















I actually had to make this extra as a special request for my colleague who loves all things penguin related...

Striking Embossed Card

I just had to play with all my new stash from the NEC so made this card last night. The background was created by coating an embossing folder with ink from my new Big and Juicy pad using a brayer. I've then outlined the embossing, added pearls to the centre of the flowers and stamped a butterfly and dragonfly. The mini easel was a bargain for £1 from Tiger!

Elegant Angel Card

I've been busy making cards this week as someone told me it's 13 weeks until Christmas, which is going to be a push with work and Martin's new obsession with Top Golf! I really like this card and thinks it looks simple and elegant. I've used the embossing trick from Ikki's Cuttlebug Cupboard - anyone with a Cuttlebug should definitely check it out for inspiration.

Burnt Orange Bday Card

This is another card for my Mum's birthday, this time for my brother to give to her. I've used my new Cuttlebug (love it!!!) to emboss the background then rubbed over it with gold ink then added some eyelets with my new Crop-o-Dile. I think this card looks kind of Arabian with the colour scheme!
