Other Occasions


Cards that can be used to invite friends around for a nice and authentic dinner party. I used images from a magazine and added them to brown paper cards in combination with dark green ribbon and cork stripes.


"Good Luck"-Card which can be used for various occasions. I cut out areas of the white card and glued shamrocks in different shades of green onto the created line structure. For a better contrast I attached green Japanese paper behind the areas that were cut out. This will cover the message inside the card.


This became a quite romantic card. Floral paper in combination with a striking but matching pink paper and two green flower embellishments - it will definately make someone happy one day!

Birthday Cards

This card was for a very special person - I sewn sequins and strass in the shape of a heart onto a piece of fabric. The fabric was glued onto the card and the edges were finished with a small satin ribbon. Took a while to create but doesn´t it look gorgeous? Just like the receiver!

Christmas Cards 2011

These are some of my hand crafted xmas cards to friends and family. Merry Chrismas!!!





Quite simple but effective - I made the best use of my newly bought snowflake puncher.





Pop-Up cards - I just love that something comes alive when you open a card!



I added some character to those christmas trees by cutting out small twigs and adding sparkle in form of red strass. 

 
These Christmas baubles are stuck onto the card with a 3D double sided tape which adds some dimension to the cards. I like the romantic touch of those cards.

Golden times - I think this printed ornamental lily card came as part of the package of a fashion item from Accessorize and with some ribbon, golden wire and pearls, I turned it into a card full of Christmas spirit. Why not recycle more things?!



It took me a few attempts to revive my crochet knowledge which hasn´t been used for a while. This card was inspired by a M&S card but it comes with warm wishes and a heart full of love.
