Rachel's Cards and Crafts

This card was an order for one of our Friends to give to his Girlfriend on Valentines day. I didn't post it before Valentines incase she saw it and I have just realised I didn't post it!!! What am I like. I printed the decoupage onto Glossy Photo Paper and Matted this onto a nestie shape. The black cardstock is Coordinations which I have distressed.

This is the card I sent to a wonderful work colleague when she retired on Friday. Tina is a wonderful lady and a great friend. She will be highly missed at work.  I have used my Forever Friends Collection Cd for the topper and matted this onto an embossed nestie. I embossed some silver mirror card with a Darcy butterfly embossing folder from Crafter's Companion and matted this onto the matt magenta cardstock I have had for a while which I got from Crafter's Companion. To finish I have added gems, stickles and ribbon details. The base card is a papermania 5x7" scallopped edge card. Here is Tina and me on her last day. Missing you already Tina Hugs xxxxx Rachel xxxxx

Hi all the below sketch is for Card Patterns Sketch 150 challenge .    I have done a twist with the sketch and made mine into a stepper card. To create this card I decided to use my Forever Friends Collectors CD fo the papers and topper. I think you will agree though that the sketch is still visible on my card design.

Hi Today (well actually it was yesterday as it's now after midnight) I have been decorating some candles with various images which I printed onto tissue paper and then melted these onto the candle.  I have also decorated these with stickles and ribbon. These are for a stall we are having in the morning at Wansbeck Hospital raising funds for the Special Care Baby Unit. Here's the first ones, I have used my Forever Friends CD from DoCrafts for these images. These next Candles I have used the Flower Fairies Christmas Tree and Holly CD from Crafter's Companion. These images are from the Rachael Hale CD Furry Friends by Joanna Sheen The next four are from Debbi Moore's Glitter and Glitz  Magical CD These images are from Crafter's Companion Walking in the Air Snowman CD Random images from My Craft Studio CD's Tatty Teddy Everyday CD from DoCrafts Hope you like my candles, sorry some of the photos aren't the ...
