Wedding Easel Card

This easel card is one of the commissions I've made this week and as the wedding was yesterday, I'm quite safe showing the photos now!

This is from the groom's parents and was made to their requirements. 

Small 'pages' which act as a stopper to prop up the card's 'front pages'.

The left-hand 'main page'

The top front pages

Side view, the three page layers and message tag are shown well here

Underneath the 'main pages' I've made a tag holder...

..and here's the tag with printed verse!  I left the reverse side blank for a personal message.

The folded card inside the box

Box lid with an acetate window

Wedding Bells, Ribbon, self-adhesive pearls - my stash

Apparently the rain held off either side of the church ceremony and didn't start again until they arrived at the reception - perfect!!  They couldn't have wished for better.

Hope you've shut all doors, windows and cat flaps, put the fires and heating on, got your favourite winter bloomers on and are staying in the warm on this horrid wet and windy day.....it's a great excuse to get more crafting done!

Don't forget to take a peek at my Yum Yum...Food! new page at the top of this blog!

Just want her to know.....

I'm thinking of her.  An extremely dear lady who is like a second mom to me has terminal cancer and I'm unable to visit her for reasons I won't go into on here.  Myself, along with her friends, are keeping in touch with the family and I just want her to know I'm thinking of her so I used this sweet image to make her a card.....

This pretty little bird is from A Day For Daisies  

I really like this as it's so versatile (excuse how I've coloured it as I may have designed a new variety of bird here!)

In a previous post here I used some very pretty ribbon from Lidl and said

I would be using it again in future - well here it is in blue and green. 

So pretty isn't it?

This high quality embossed card feels just like fabric.  It's from my local craft supplier.

Although this card's nothing like I'd imagined it would look, I'm pleased with the end result.

Got a lovely free pad of Raspberry Road papers with Quick Cards magazine for this weekend so I'm colouring these Kenny K images again in colours to match the new papers.  I'll post them as and when they're done.
