On off cards

So have had a few orders for some on off cards recently. It's difficult working out the price for each individual so I've decided to go for set prices.

The latest two were an anniversary card using a red, black and white theme as that was their wedding colours and a birthday card for a man whose hobbies were golf, football or computers. I decided that golf was the theme to go for.

Fathers Day around the corner

Well it's been a busy few days with father's day around the corner. Men's cards are not my favourite to produce at all and I have had orders for a few one off's this time around. Luckily topics were provided otherwise I would be seriously stumped for ideas. After the father's day rush I have some more commissioned orders for Anniversary and Husband birthday's.


I think the challenge is getting the right balance with embellishments. I also find that a lot of back papers and extras are very female orientated which makes them difficult to adapt.

The car card was commissioned for an MG fan so with a search I managed to find a line drawing of an old MG car which I then matted and used my lovelly corner punch to found off. The tag buckle was then inked around the edge to age it a little as was the large matting which is raised off of the surface of the card.

The music card is for a musican dad I was able to see his set list on it there was various dire straits songs. Luckily in my musical collection I have the sheet music to brothers in arms so scanned that in and replicated it over and over again to form my own backing paper which I was then able to use a little chalk ink to distress. Using peel offs of a guitar I then did a small mounted embellishment and finished with the wording.
