Hello Crafters - More Cards

I have some new cards to show you - hope you like them.  I do make mostly CUP  "Crafts-U-Print" cards as my hands will not do a lot of things (large stamping, colouring etc) that they used to.  I find these fun to make and I can still use my scissors no problem - so that's why mostly CUP cards.

Yes, a Christmas card and what a beauty it turned out to be.  This is a
design sheet made by  Eva Cano  on  CUP  - I added outline star stick-ons,
gold pearls in the corners & a gold rope bow to finish off.  To give the card
stability, I backed each panel of the card in black CS.

"O Canada" ....... our flag is beautiful, don't you think?
This is another design by  Eva Cano  on  "Crafts-U-Print".  (CUP)  I did
back up the front fold and back fold to give card stability,
added red gems to the corners.  The leaf is 3d'd and looks magnificent!

This is another CUP card and was designed by
Marijke Kok - these tulips look real don't they?
It is done in decoupage!

I'm all set for birthday cards - isn't this one bright
and cheerful?  This beauty was designed by
Deborah Davies  on the CUP site.  This card is also
done in decoupage and I added some pink gems as well
as a MS punched butterfly.

This card was a Cuttlebug Challenge and we could
only use two colours as well as two layers and our
Cuttlebug as well.  I have embossed flowers down
the right edge from the CB (which I added pearls to) and
the black scalloped oval is done on the CB.  The
silhouette was cut on my Cricut and I added the
bow for an embellishment.

Last but not least, another CUP card I made for
my grandson's 13th Birthday.  He loves to "Curl" and
does well at it.  This card is also done in
decoupage, I added the "13" and the row of
"Rocks" with his name on.  This card
was designed by  Heather Howes  on CUP.

Haven't Posted for a Month........Here are Some of the Latest!

Hello Crafters - I'm afraid I am slowing down in my "old age" - but I'm not ready to give up making cards yet.  Here are a few cards (all similar but different colours) that I made from the CUP Site.  I wanted to get ahead with my birthday/anniversary cards and these are so pretty, I made a few of them.  Hope you like them.  These cards were all designed by  Anne-marie Vaux  on the CUP Site.
